At the close Of the week that has
just elapsed. leading operators in
foreign exchange appeared uncertain
regarding the immediate course of
the market. Some held that the top
in sterling had temporarily been
reached. This did not mean that
they believed that the market would
recede appreciably, but that the ad-
vance had halted. The evidence that
the gold imports from London rep
resenting installments on account Of
the Anglo-Fren $500,000, 900 loan
maturing In October were now IN
regular movement, causes discussion
as to the reason that the gold Is
shipped to New York instead of Can
ada. 1t has been pointed out that
consignments OF the yellow metal on
this account deposited In Canada, in
the interval before the loan falls
due, could be figured as part of the
reserve of the Bank of England,
whereas II is obvious that shipments
to New York would not so count In
ternational bankers. however, init
mate that the purposes of the Brit
ish government are being better
subserved by shipping the gold to
New York. The money might be
loaned in the New York market. 1t
was also suggested that depositing
the gold in Canada might induce un-
due speculation in the Dominion.
The British government undoubted-
ly has been able to establish credits
in New York. and besides, IL Is prac-
tically certain that 1t was able to Sc
cure in the open market a consider

1t was to be noticed during the
week that while the other exchanges
declined extensively on any reaction
In sterling they did not always re-
spond to strength in sterling by ad-
vancing. The market as a whole was
not anything like as sensational as
in the preceding week, but at the
low levels, sterling showed a decline
of 10 cents from the high of the ex-
treme rally. Lire made a new low
record at close to 81 for the dollar
compared with 2010 on February g.

part in financing the present rise in

an unusually large amount of cash

consists of outright purchases for

TWO GIVE BOND
IN LEAK CASE
Mayer and Moses, Indicted
For Conspiracy, Appear
In Court.
u. S. PLANS ACTION
Government to Make Use
OF Decision Rendered
Fifteen Years Ago.
U. S. PLANS ACTION

When the government prosecutes
Ashton +. Embry, Barnett L
Moses. James II. Graves and L
Millard Mayer for conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States in con-
nection with an alleged Teak" IN
a decision of the United States
Supreme Court it must fall back
upon one of it's decisions OF fifteen
years ago.
In the summer of 1905 Supreme
Court decided it was a violation OF
the law for any person or persons
to conspire to corrupt, impair, or
invade the secrecy or disturb the
function, custom or operation of
any government department. and
that such an act need not involve
tangible property.
The decision grew out of a cot
ton crop, leak in the Department
Of Agriculture in which millions of
dollars were involved.
Supreme Court Involved.
Now. the. United States Supreme
Court is itself involved and inter-
ested in the prosecution.
All four defendants are aware
Of this feature of their cases. The
Office of the United States District
Attorney makes no secret that this
decision will be used in the pros
ecution.
While the cases Of Embry, Moses,
Graves and Mayors, with respect to
the United States Supreme Court,
are the first of their kind in which
that tribunal has ever been invoIv-
ed. they are not exactly the first
cases involving alleged fraud in con-
nection with the functions of a gov
ernment department.
Vast sum Realized.
The cotton crop leak" case in
volved vast sums of money, which
three men, Edwin S. Holmes. then
an associate statistician in the ce-
partment, and Frederick A. Peck -
ham and Moses Haas. New York
brokers, were alleged to have made
on the stock market by speculation
after they had secured advance in
formation with regard TO the
amount of the cotton crop.
Holmes was fined $1,000, as was
Peckham. Haas paid fine of $4,000.
after a long fight in the District
Supreme Court before Justice Staf
ford.
Haas, who was in New York when
indicted, fought extradition and
carried his case to the United States
Supreme Court. That tribunal deci-
ded that his alleged offense was
punishable by law because an at
tempt to. or an actual deed, which
tended to impair the functions, Sc
crecy or operation of any govern
ment department was a violation OF
what was then section $40 of the
code.
All Pleaded Guilty.
Therefore Haas stood trial. All
three defendants finally pleaded
guilty and paid their fines. The
jury disagreed on one indictment
against Holmes. He was charged
with giving information to Haas
and Peckham.
Holmes was also alleged TO have
received S27,025 for his part in the
transaction. quite a large sum com
pared with the 5000 Emhry is
charged with receiving as his share
in the profits of the stock exchange
transaction said to be traceable to
the Supreme Court decision.
: Mayer and Moses, alleged joint
conspirators with Embry and Graves
gave bond yesterday for their apr
pearance for arraignment. Both
gave their address as the MuEseF
