THE DAY IN WALL STREET
Texas Company Brings In New 3O,000-Barrel We-Lib- erty Bond Holders Are Wondering When the Steady
 Decline in Price Is Going to Stop

The head of one of the largest com mission houses in Wall street came cut flatly today in favor of remov- ing all artificiality from the market in the Liberties. Lets get them down if they have got to so down. said he. "A level would then be reached where real buying of the kind that is needed to make the mar ket in these bonds stable would de- velop. The trouble with them is that they were sold on a basis out of eN.S with existing mohey market rates and the decline that we are now eN- periencing is one of the after effects The only interests who are buying liberty bonds today arc savings banks. insurance institutions, a few rich folks and the sinking fund. I think the purchases for the sinking fund should be stopped and the market be allowed to take its natural course"
 Holders of Liberty Loan and other government war issues who paid one hundred cents on the dollar for them when patriotism was rampant and the Hun was still going strong, are wondering what has struck the mar ket in these issues. Prices are steadily working lower and many of the issues are now selling on a basis where they yield an income return oi better than per cent. In fact. two or three issues yield 5E per cent CT better. pretty high rate considering the character of the paper. The fall in these issues is being accelerated by the move of the federal reserve authorities to force general liquidation for banks have had to compel liaui- dation of loans secured by such
 issues and the bonds have to be dumped into a market already pretty well glutted. That is the chief ex- planation for the increased selling.

Coffee Market By Assoctated preSs

New York, February 2.--A renewal of near month liquidation, combined with reports of freer offerings from Rio and the continued weakness of foreign ex- change, led to further declines in the market for coffee futures here today. The opening was 4 points higher on May, but generally unchanged to z points lower and there was some seat tered covering at the start promoted by higher Santos futures, a more fa- vorable feeling as to peace treaty pros poets and the higher opening of the stock market.
 Otherwise there was very little de- mand. however, and the market broke sharply during the middle of the day with May selling off to 14.7oc. or 52 points net lower. That delivery closed at 14soc and other months showed ral- lies of some 14 or 90 points on cover ing, but the general list closed at q net loss of 26 to 36 points.
 Closing bids: March. 14e4c; May, 14soc; July. 15.1oc; September, 14.soc; October, 14s5c: December. 1475c

RAILROAD MEMS CASE
 READY FOR JUDGES CHARGE

Judge George B. Hinman will charge the jury in the superior court here this tThursday) morning and then turn over to them for a verdict the case of the three New London railroad employes accused of breaking into freight car and stealing from it barrel of potatoes, The men are Andrew T. Monshan, Ernest Hummer and George E. Church. The alleged theft took place in the railroad yard at New London on June 23 in the night time.
 All the evidence for the state and for the accused was in by 2.45 Wednesday afternoon and Attorney Cronln. who has been assisting the state attorney, made the first argument for the prosecution. He was followed by Attorney C. Curtiss Morgan, counsel for the accused men, who argued in their behalf that the case was largely one of suspicion and rested chiefly on the evidence of one railroad detective who was overzealous and that the explanation of the accused men that they were removing the barrel of pota- toes from the car in their regular l'l'e of duty because it was in a dangerous pcsi- tion was perfectly reasonable. He aiso claimed that the fact that Church Y. ies not known to either Hummer or Mona- han made it unlikely that they would take him into any thieving plot.
 State Attorney Hull made the con- cluding argument for the state, speakin g for about 45 minutes and ending just after o'clock Judge Hinman adjourned court then till the next morning at 10. State Attorney Hull dwelt upon the ac- lions of the three men immediately at the time the railroad detective came upon them taking the barrel of potatoes which Hummer was carrying upon his back The state attorney pointed out that l Church ran away, that Monahan ran with 1 his own and Piummers lantern and that | Hummer. when asked by the detective what they were going to do with the po- tatoes, answered: Divide them, I sup. pose"
 l Church was the only one of the three accused who did not take the stand Monahan went on to testify Wednesday 1 morning. He said he has been in the
 employ of the railroad for 20 years anc 1 is treasurer of the brakemens union tC | which he belongs. He testified that Plum
 mer was taking the barrel of potatoes ou l of the car on orders from him (Monahan, because they were sticking out of thu
 door of the car in a. dangerous way.
 1 The defense rested with his testimony ] and the state then put on two witnesse. 1 to contradict Plummer's testimony tha 1 he was boarding They were Josepl Birenbaun. in whose house Hummer ha(
 apartments, and Mary White, who Wa! l his housekeepeA
