SHORTS COVERING
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK. June 11.-Today's
market. while still quiet judged by ordi-
nary standards. had a good deal more
life to it than many expected on the
eve of the republican nomination.
With the possibility still present that
candidate would be chosen who
would be considered as very unde-
sirable from the standpoint of the
business and investment community,
prices nevertheless continued to move
forward and there were some very
sharp advances among the industrial
specialties.
If there was any uneasinesS with
the nominations only a few hours off.
it was confined to operators short of
stocks. This interest was trying to
get in it's contracts as cheaply as
possible. but in numerous instances,
where the floating supply was partic-
ularIy small, it had to come out in the
open and bid sharply in order to get
its stocks.
Short covering was attended with
the most difficulty in closely held is
sues like Crucible Steel. Mexican
Petroleum., Baldwin Locomotive and
some of the steel, motor and tire
shares.
But the advance was not dependent
by any means wholly on covering pur-
chases.
STEADY Absorption.
There were evidences of steady
absorption all through the industrial
list. which represented the entrance
Of new buyers who figured that they
would have to pay more for their
stocks if they waited until this after
Moons results al Chicago were known.
The market showed confidence that
the nominations would turn out salts
factorily. and was plainly discounting
the outcome.
II was not deferred by the raising
of the call money renewal to per
cent or by the high rates that were
being maintained on new accommoda-
tons.
The rise in sterling exchange after
business hours last night and con-
tinuing this morning neutralized any
disturbing effect that might have been
occasioned by tight money. For in
conjunction with the accumulation of
gold shown in yesterdays statement
Of the Bank of England 1t was taken
to foreshadow the early announce
ment of the resumption of gold ship
ments to this country.
Low Priced Rails.
The low-priced rails have been the
disappointment of the market. On
account OF their low prices they have
which would not care to go into the
more risky things. This outside fol-
lowing became too numerous. The
junior rails got rather over-bought.
At the same time some big TRADERS
loaded up with these stocks on the
idea that the Interstate Commerce
Commission would be coming out soon
with their new rate schedules and
that this would be the signal for quite
a boom in railway shares.
Certain houses have been persist
emily talking about a bull market in
the rails this summer. and they have
hung up a lot OF people at higher
prices with their advices. What APP
parently happened yesterday and to-
day was that a number Of spectators,
including at least one or two large
operators who have been Juggling the
rails only to see the industrials oc-
cupy the center of the stage. became
disguised and threw over their stocks
at the market.

duced bill which. If enacted into law
would make Berger or any other man in
like position ineligible for election.
The Lubrng bill declares ineligible "any
person previously elected to Congress who
has been excluded therefrom on the ground
that he gave aid or comfort TO the enemy,
adding that the name Of such person
shall not be placed on the ballot to be
voted for at any general or special elcc.
tion Of representative in the Congress
or Senate of the United States
IL is believed that such q law would be
constitutional, for the federal courts have
already decided that elections OF members

which Congress has jurisdiction. Within
a few days federal Judge in Grand Rap

TIME TO CALL A HALT.

lt is time to call halt on the prac-
tice of the immigration officials in trans
porting hundreds of dangerous radicals to
this city from all parts of the country,
only to turn them loose here on small bail
bonds. The ostensible purpose in bring
ing Reds from the West and South to
this port is to confine them on Ellis ISL
and until they can be deported. If these
men are not to be deported they should
he returned to the communities from
which they were taken. In no circum-
stances should they be released to mingle
with local pests of the same ilk, to be cod
died and invited to tea parties by our
parlor Socialists.
Already some sixty of these alien trou-
bic breeders have been freed here. They
are right here in New York city posing
as martyrs among their Bolshevik breth-
rem and doing missionary work for the
vicious cause they represent. A strong
protest against making New York city
the dumping ground for these rascals
should be sent to Washington at once. II
the city officials will not do it. the great
civic organizations like the Chamber of
Commerce and the Merchants Associa-
tion, which have always stood for the
best in municipal affairs, should take ac-
ton without delay.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HEEAr.p:
The other day you published a picture
OF Miss Carmen Aguinaldo with the fol
lowing below it:-"Daughter OF the famous
Filipino outlaw and statesman"
Both as a Filipino citizen and defender
of historical truth permit me to request
YOU 10 print this letter IS a protest against
this erroneous statement
To brand General Aguinaldo as an out
law simply because he was the leader OF
his people in the very just and successful,
revolution against Spanish domination. and
because later he was head of the Philip
pine army against American rule, is tanta-
mount TO branding all the leaders of hu-
man liberties as outlaws.
All the Americans who have had the
pleasure OF meeting General Aguinaldo
from former President Taft, who was the
first Governor General of the Philippine
Islands; Generals Barry and Bell. who
were his admirers and personal friends. 20
the last civil and military authorities, have
spoken highly Of the gentlemanly bearing
and high character of General Aguinaldo.
At present he Is one Of the most distin
guished citizens Of the Philippines and
one Of the most loyal friends Of the Amer
lean people. He is associated with Amer
ican capitalists and Is the vice president
of two of the largest oil corporations In
