VERY LIGHT TRADE
AT LOWER PRICES
Differences of Opinion on
Bank Statements Cause
Professional Selling.
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Traders
looked for an excuse to do something
and seized upon the bank returns as
a pretext for selling. The operations
on the selling side were wholly pro-
fessional and therefore of no conse-
quence. But they did have the effect
of checking whatever tendency to i'm
provement there was toward the close
of last week and of forcing a moder-
ate reaction.
The market was intensely dull on
the decline. The principal loss oc-
Cured in the first hour. anu transac-
tions during that period were less
than 10000 shares. or about what
would be done in ten minutes OF an
active speculative situation.
This showed that there was no
pressure to sell. but that prices sag
ged off a point or so because 1t was
necessary to have this amount OF IN
ducement to attract buying orders
again. The coppers were weak. and
the threats of fresh labor troubles
in the steel industry had some effect
upon the steel shares.
Oil stocks were freely sold at the
start. but rallied later. The rails
were neglected because it was recog-
niZed that no decision in the rate
cases was likely until after the award
of the railway wage board in the
third week of July.
New York showing Poor.
In its comment upon the bank
statements of Saturday the street laid
altogether too much stress upon the
showing at New York and did not
take sufficient account of the fact
that the huge loan decrease of the
previous week was admittedly tenn
porary to a large extent. because 1t
was due to the paying off of discounts
secured by the old issue of Treasury
certificates which was being called
in. while on the other hand it did
not reflect the counterbalancing eff
feet of the taking up by the banks
of the new si00,000,000 Treasury GER
tificates issue. To gauge properly the
significance of the bank figures as an
index of the general credit position
one has to take not the statement of
York, but the combined statements of
the twelve regional institutions
throughout the country, and one has
10 consider not last weeks opera
tions. but the operations of last week
and week before taken together.
What Banks showed.
In the seven days ending June Is the
twelve federal banks reduced their
loans secured by government war
paper, which in this case meant chiefly
Treasury certificates. by s209. 0O0. 900.
while their total loans fell off $685.
000.0 900. In the week ending June %
loans based upon war paper. which
represented mainly the new Treasury
certificates. increased s46.000.00
while total loans increased s136,000.-
600. For the fortnight therefore there
was a net decrease in federal bank
credits of nearly 500. 900, 900. Quite
possibly the absorption of the new
Treasury certificates and their deposit
security for rediscounts was not
fully revealed in the reports of Satur-
day. But even SO, taking the results
of the two-week period, which is the
only fair thing to do, the achieve
ment in the way of loan reduction is
certainly very notable.

SIR ARTHUR PINERO AUTHOR
OF "HIS HOUSE IN ORDER

A Paramount Aircraft picture, ellis
House in Order" in which Elsie Fer
guson will appear at the Palace Air
dome tomorrow night was adapted
from the play of the famous English
playwright, Sir Arthur Wing Pinero.
The screen version retains all of the
dramatic flavor that made the play
famous.
The play was first produced at the
St.~,James theatre, London, February
/, 1906, with Sir George Alexander in
the role of lesson. In September of
the same year Charles Frohman pro
duced it at the Empire theatre ii
New York, with John Drew and Mar
garet Ellington in the leading roles
There it played nearly an entire yeal
to capacity audiences.
"His House in Order" has for its
theme the martial difficulties of Nina
Graham elsie Ferguson) and Filmel
lesson. Filmer, believing that Nina
cannot keep his house in order sends
for the sister of his former wife t,
live with them. The sister-in-laW
makes all sorts of trouble for Nina
and relations between husband ant
wife become much estranged. Nina
finds letters of the first wife to hel
sweetheart which reveals the fac
that lesson is not the father of the
boy. Filmer learns the truth of hi!
second wife's worth and all ends hap

4 BREAK JAIL
At CAL EXICO

CALEXICO, Aug. 31.-Police of
Calexico are today investigating one
n the most daring Jail breaks ever
perpetrated in the city, in which there
men and a boy who were being held
on robbery charges, escaped early
Yesterday morning. 1t is evident that
tho door Of the cell in which the men
were confined was opened from the
outside. and with a key, but until the
men are recaptured little hope is ex-
pressed by City Marshal Boucher of
finding who was responsible for the
opening Of the cell door.
When another prisoner was locked
up Saturday night the men were in
their cell. but when Patrolman NAL
lett went down at o'clock Sunday
morning TO give them their breakfast
the cell door stood open and the pris-
oners we're gone.
Three of the four escaped prisoners
were participants in one of the most
daring and as yet unexplainable rob-
berries committed in Calexico in recent
years. according to Calexico informa-
tion. They entered and robbed the
store of T. w. Fishburn, taking with
them more than $500 in groceries and
cash. The manner in which they OBJ
tanned entrance to Fishburn's store is
as yet unexplained.
The way in which the four es-
capped from the Jail is likewise mys-
terry. A Mexican in Jail at the time is
said to have declared that the prison.
srs were released by a policeman
wearing a moustache, but as the only
Calexico policeman is a
tried and true member of the force
the Calexico chief of police and force
are certain that the Mexican is mis-
taken. although they believe that the
lob was an inside one.

Mexico City.
Other members of the commission
are: Francisco Valenzuela, Feliciano
Aldrete, and, Thomas Ojeda.
Making the situation more compli-
Gated than ever, the "open letter" is
directed toward three Mexicans, Bald

thur NJ. Elias and their followers. 1t
is rumored that the three men are
conspiring to place either one of their
number in the state capital, at Mexl-
cali. =.
Backed by the commission for the
governorship are Carlos Bernstein
and Epijmerio Ibarra. They have
asked the president to make the selec-
ton between the two.
Bernstein, while having a German
name, is said to be from one Of the
Oldest families in Lower California
and very well liked by the people. He
is the foremost candidate, it was an
nounced. -.
In a letter sent to the commission

 ANSWER CHARGES
 First. I am going to try and answer a few charges that have been made against me. Many people are of the opinion that the aims of the Irish re- public were not with those of Pres ident Wilson during the war. This is false, and anyone that can say such things is an English tyrant fully in accord with the methods that Eng land is now using to slowly bring Ire land to it's death.
 When the United States declared war upon Germany. President Wilson's own words were to- the effect that the United States was not going into the war for any personal gaim but that the cause of liberty and freedom might not perish from the earth
 Tt is for this reason that the people of the Irish republic are looking to the United States for help and encourage ment. If there had been no United States there would never have been an Irish republic.
