STOCKS IN SLUMP,
: MOTORS LEADING
Drastic Cuts Announced by
Manufacturers and Tire
Men-Day's Action.
by s. p. WEST.

NEW YORK, May 9.-The most inn
portant DEVELOPMENT over the week
end for its influence on the stock
| market was the announcement or
further price cutting in the motor and
tire industries.
This action had been commonly
looked for after the reduction made
public last week by the Marmon, the
Chevrolet Motor. the Goodrich and
the Lee Rubber Company.
But the lower price schedule an
nounced by the Oakland Motor and
United States Rubber Company today.
along with the rather heavy deflclt
reported by Pierce Arrow for the
March quarter. confirmed the impress
sion that too much store had been
set by the Improvement in the motor
and allied trade last month and the
month before. 1t was not that tins
was a merely temporary revival be-
tween two periods of depression The
best judgment is altogether on the
side that automobile manufacturing.
and with it conditions in the tire
trade, definitely turned the corner
early in the year.
But the recovery of March and April
was too rapid to be sustained. 1t has
been followed by something of a set
back and, while the view is that an
other forward movement will start
later in the year. the immediate effect
has been to check the enthusiasm Gre
ated six weeks ago by the first reports
of the new orders flowing into the
automobile makers.
Pierce-Arrow Slumps.
A violent break in Pierce-Arrow.

10 points from it's recent high, and

sues provided rather stiff test for
the general market. Industrials as a
rule gave way point or more under
the strain.
The selling movement was softened
and finally halted by the consistent
strength displayed in railway shares:
by the steadiness of the low priced
shares. and by the running in of
short account in the sugar stocks.
The Money Market.
Call money did not come down any
further. it continued to renew at 6R
per cent. The first index. however, to
expert opinion on the money market
the time loan department.
While nominally lenders of time
funds were holding off today for 6s4
per cent. they know very well that
should they come down to 6n they
would be able to do little business.
Squirt in Sugars.
The sudden squirt in the sugar group,
while nearly everything else was go
ing down. occasioned surprise in specu-
lative quarters, where it had been the
idea that this was the one class of
stocks. above all others. the outlook
for which was very dubious. One rea-
son for the rise undoubtedly was the
declaration on Saturday Of the regular
$3.50 quarterly dividend on Manati
Sugar. This action scarcely had
been known in time to be reflected in
Saturdays market
Another reason was that heavy rain
falls in Cuba have caused the shut
down of many mills. and that this,
along with the strike on the Cuba rail-
road, is holding down deliveries and
thus 1essening the strain upon the

for the upward movement today more
on the ground of an overextended

Canadian Pacific Firm.
The sharp run-up in Canadian Pa
cific was ascribed to the covering OF
a. stubborn short interest put out
during the height of the English
strike crisis last month. and while
at the same time sentiment was pes
simistic on railway shares in general.
1t is thought likely that there might
have been some connection between
the retreat of the Canadian Pacific
bears and the denial of the extra

Saturday about the $50.000,000 new

BY I. A. FLEMING.

the Introduction OF the brokerS
call money market on the Washington
Stock Exchange was a success in so
far as the offerings were concerned.
but bankers and brokers were apart
in their views by one-half of one per
cent, with the result that there were
no loans made.
The Riggs National Bank and the
pany each offered 500. 900 on call at
per cent; the National Metropolitan
Bank and the Liberty National each
offered $4,000 at the same rate.
on the call 62 per cent was the
refused to shade their rates.
1t is understood that the banks Of
fering loans contemplated only New
York collateral, as the local market
is entirely too narrow to permit Of
use OF securities listed thereon as
collateral.
The offering Of loans will continue
from day to day. with the prospects
Of bankers and brokers getting to-
something regarding the daily offer
ings of cash that may be expected.
Local Securities.
Considerable activity was developed
on the local stock exchange today in
Railway common. $50 shares in all

Mergenthaler brought 120.
The bond section was little better
than nominal with one sale of Rail-
way As at 81.
There was the usual attendance of
members. but they seemed to be more
interested in the inaugural of the call
money market than in buying or SELL
ing securities.
Another New Concern.
The Cleveland Discount Company has
opened an office in Washington, being
located at 734 18th street northwest
Hogeland. Randle & Speed are the
representatives. of the company.
The business of the Cleveland Dis
count Company is financing building
schemes of large Importance, apart
ment houses. office buildings, hotels.
etc. Against these the company issues
bonds up to so per, cent or less of the
actual value of the property in it's
entirety These bonds will be issued
at 6 per cent but marketed at a price
to insure much higher rate.

Discount Company are s11,746.O

probably resulted from fear of pass

UNFAIR MOVIES
Appeal to Union Men Sent Out
By District Council of Paint
ers No. Sc, Los Angeles.

Since July 18th we have sent you
numerous appeals for moral assist
ance in our fight against the re-
duction in wages and increase to
ten hour day in the Los Angeles
Moving Picture Studios.
This letter is a request for further
assistance in fighting the Lasky
Famous CD Players Co. who are
the stumbling block and stand in
the way of a settlement between
the other studios and organized
labor.
This corporation might justly be
called the Lasky Infamous Players
Co., because of the reputation they
have gained in their efforts to crush
organized labor and the utter dis
regard for the law which some of
their Infamous stars have shown.
One of them, FATTY" Arbuckle
is now indicted for manslaughter in
connection with the death of pretty
Virginia Rape after the most dis
gushing orgy which the Pacific Coast
has known for years.
Another one of them, Bebe Dan
iels, was arrested in Orange County
California, January 10Th, 1921 for
violating the speed laws and on
March 29th she was convicted and
sentenced to jail. On April 9Th she
appealed but on April 10th she sur
rendered and served her sentence.
The Lasky Famous GU Players
Co. are now capitalizing her viola
ton of the constituted law of the
land by portraying her as heroine
in a picture called THE SPEED
GIRL which was made in the studio
that attempted to reduce wages $1.00
per day, put a ten hour day in eff
feet, and locked out all union men.
The Lasky Famous CD Players
Co. will attempt to defy the Am
erican public and ridicule justice by
showing Bebe Daniels in T H L
SPEED GIRL in your community.
Brothers, we ask you to help US
fight this outrage. Go to the bat
with your theatre owners, church
declarations, mayor and city govern
ment and make them prevent the
showing of this picture in your city
If necessary, create board of cen
sorship to do it.
Union men everywhere should
raise in protest against the out
rage. Reckless driving is a practice
which we should make an attempt
to stamp out for the usual result
is the mangled, bleeding bodies of
the workingman's children laying
in the streets after the guilty speed
ers have escaped without even rend-
ering assistance to their victims.
Do this for us and teach this
wealthy corporation who capitalizes
violations of the law a lesson.
Advise us what action you take
in this matter. Failure to receive
a reply from you will indicate that
you have thrown this appeal in the
waste basket.
Thanking you for past favors,
remain, yours fraternally, C. c
Shower, Secretary.
