SHORTS COVERED
FREELY At CLOSE
Spirited Upbidding Supplanted
the Earlier Mixed Move-
ment of Prices

New York. June 1S.--EXcept for the
spirited covering movement in the last
hour the trading in todays stock market
was Of the same familiar desultory char
actcr. Price movements were mixed
until the shorts run up list in the final
dealings and then a number of the more
speculative issues were carried up to the
top prices OF the week.
Nothing in the overnight develop
ments or morning news was OF sufficient
Importance to influence the rank and
file of the trading element to change
one iota from the adopted watchful-
waiting policy. In truth. It would seem
to require little short of miracle
to produce any concession from this
stand until after the Democratic con
ventiOn at least.
Overnight developments were not al
together without interest. As a matter
Of fact. one of the most encouraging
events to come to hand in long time
was supplied in the declaration Of the
regular quarterly dividend by the North
! ern Pacific board. This action. with
| the rather reassuring remarks of Mr..
Eliot. went far to dissipate much of the
/ recent reckless and unfounded talk of a
wholesale reduction in dividends Of the
prominent railroad stocks
II begins to look as il the recent
action of the Chicago and Northwestern
board was i'll advised and inopportune.
| especially when II is considered the road
was able to weather the storms Of the
war period without having to make any
great curtaiment. In better Informed
circles. there is a growing confident
feeling that the worst of the railroad
situation has been seen and told. and
while the transportation industry is un-
Questionably greatly handicapped by the
inability to obtain needed funds for
equipment aud improvements, there is
already visible rift in the dark
clouds
Despite the hfeless state of the
market and sluggish dcsuitory trading,
| the general list showed q much stronger
tone and acted as il it wanted to go up.
This was suggested in the gradual
hardening tendency following the un-
even and somewhat reaCtionary opening.
Intermittent selling at the outset and
during the best part Of the first hour
carried some of the more important
speculative favorites down from one to
four points. A rally, led by the equip
ments, food and chemical shares. efaced
most of the early losses. When the
coal shares. especially the high grade
issues. came forward during the mid
session the whole list started to move
up. The recovery was given additional
impetus when the tranScontinental
division swung into line at quick pace,
followed up by a further extension of
gains in the equipments under the lead
Of Baldwin Locomotive.
On a sudden burst of activity on short
covering and regardless of tirmer money
tendencies. prices mounted to highest
levels in the last hour Some of the
oils motors and shippings registered
extreme advances of 3 to I points.

REVERSES ACCIDENT RULE
Coroner's Jury AbsoIVes Driver of
Car That Caused Fatal Injury


An old ruling by Judge Sulzberger
was set aside today by Chief Deputy
Coroner Sellers, at tho inquest into the
death of Mrs. Jessie Bedford. forty
eight years old, of I045 McCullom
street. Chestnut Hill
Judge Sulzbcrger had ruled that in
every case OF death. no matter what
the circumstances. the defendant must
be held for the action of the grand jury.
Mrs Bedford died in the German
town Hospital Of blood poisoning from
an injury to the leg, the result of an
automObil" accident. She was riding
with her husband and another woman
when their car was in collision with a
car driven by W. l.. Stauffer, Jr., of
NOrTistOwn.
The testimony eXonrrated Mr.. Stauf-
fer. The attorney for the Bedford fam
lily, however. insisted he he held for
the grand jury. Coroner Sellers ruled
that Judge Sulzhergcr's Interpretation
of the law had been reversed in court
and that under instructions from the
district attorneys Office defendants
were to be held only whcrc death had
been caused by criminal negligence or
malice. The jury therefore acquitted the
driver
! The coroner's jury also absoIyed Ed

Stocks Heavy

New York. June 1s.--Trading on the
Broad street curb progressed today in
quiet manner with two important
changes in the early dealings to moder-
ately lower figures. General Aspha'
was about the most active, buying oy
local bankers continuing to be noted ana
that stock after yielding from 1874 10
72k, moved back to 73.
United Retail Candy failed to respond
to the efforts to force the company INTO
prominence and ranged from 14A to
14h. Sweets Co. was lso heavy
showing a fractional loss. both these
stocks probably being influenced in thei5
market position by the high price anu
scant supply of sugar.
Carib Syndicate was in moderate sup
ply and declined from 1915 to loi2.
There was little business in Simms at

r. G. Dun & Co., in reviewing local

about stationary. There we're few in

are working on old orders with but Mt
tie new business in sight Manufac-
turers are optimistio. however, and are
looking forward to better conditions.
Conditions in the local wool TRACE
are reported unsatisfactory. There has
been heavy cancellations and consiuer-
able loss has beer sustained by various
firms. There Ia virtually no buying done

of future prices. There appears to be
large stocks Of wool on hand, 1t is be-
