NEW YORK, May 3.-The stock
market was jumpy today and traders
were evidently nervous. The opening
was irregular and shortly after the
opening short drive was made
with quick recoveries
Before noon the announcement was
made that call money was renewing
at 9 per cent, against renewal rate
on Friday of 8 per cent. The bears
thereupon decided that money was
going to be high for the current
week and again sold stocks.
The session finally developed into
one bear raid after another. An
nouncement that the United States
supreme court had denied the petit
ton Of the government for rehear-
ing of the steel trust case came when
steel common had been pounded
down to 92%, within half point Of
the February low, while Republic
Steel had dropped from 95 to 90ia.
On the supreme court ruling Steel
common went to "a. while Republic
rallied over two points. The bears
used this rally as the occasion for
putting out heavy additional short
lines.

NEW YORK, May 3.-The New
York Evening Suns financial revue"
today said: ...t
The stock market experienced IN
the beginning 'of the new week a
series of sinking spells which carried
prices several points below the Levels
of the last previous closing.
Opening prices were generally
higher, but the bears exerted consld-
cradle pressure in the first half hour'
after which there was partial rally
when banking interests were credited
with proffering support. Partial re-
coyery was followed by renewed sell
ing when the opening money rate was
announced. With the exception OF
u. S. Steel common and Cruc1ble
Steel, the steel group was pretty
strong at times, particularly those
issues of companies whose names
have been mentioned frequently in
connection with merger plans-Betc1-
1ehem. Lackawanna and Republic Iron
and Steel. Several specialties dis
played consistent strength. me
motors, oils and rails shared in the
general heayiness.
With the drop in the call money
rate from Q percent to 7 percent in
the later session, there was distinct
throughout the list. Not
only was lost ground entirely re-
gained. but the buying movement,
mainly of short covering operations,
carried prices to the highest levels
of the day, in many instances.

NO ONE SAW
THIS SUICIDE
Salsedo Leaped From Fourteenth
Floor Of Park Row Building,
Clad Only in His Night
Clothing.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW YORK, May 3.-The suicide
'of Alfredo Salsedo, confessed anar
chist, today revealed that federal
agents have arrested several men in
conenction with the bomb plots in
the United States last June z. partly
clearing up the mystery which has
surrounded the incident.
Evidence which has been gathered
in the investigation of the plots, will
be presented to federal grand jury
shortly, government agents stated.
SaIsedo, clad in night clothes,
leaped from a fourteenth story win
dow of the Park Row building where
he had been held prisoner He had
stealthily left the bed where he was
sleeping with an alleged confederate,
raised the window and jumped. No
one witnessed the act.
Salsedo, with several alleged con-
federates, was arrested on March Z,
William Flynn, chief of the depart
.ment of justice, stated. He had been
kept prisoner on the fourteenth floor
of the Park Row building since that
date at his own request, Flynn de-
clared.
Flynn said Salsedo confessed his
part in the bomb plot and implicated
several others.
Salsedos attorney, also his wife
and family knew where he was being
kept prisoner, Flynn said, and ap-
proved OF the federal agents action
in not having him confined in regu-
lar Jail.
The others who have been taken
prisoner in the investigation of the
plot are also being held in the de-
partment of justice headquarters,
Flynn said. He would not reveal how
many others are held in connection
with the investigation.
The case against the other sus-
poets will not be injured by Salsedo
killing himself, as one other man has
confessed, federal agents stated.
