PRICE SHADING
IN LOCAL MARKET
Lake Superior Corporation Re-
port Shoped Big Shrink
age in Net Earnings

Dealings in the local stocks continued
of the same meager proportions and
were productive of fractional price
shading. TIL erewas nothing in the local
developments to overcome the depressing
influence OF the sinking cndition of the
larger market. The only direct effect
was to put an effective dampcr upon
market interest. This found reflection
in the limited volume of business and
tn" monOtouOus listlcSs drife Of the en-
tire market.
About the only feature of interest in
the ncs line was the publication of the
annual report Of the Lake Superior
Company and this was anything but
cheerful reading matter Yet the tale
it told was no different from that of the
other industrial concerns. Net earnings
for the fiscal year ended June 30 were
81 ,54l DOB, compared with So 722, 1872
in the preceding year. After bringing
forward $500 237 surplus. there was
total of$3. .72H,7l7. Charged against

Failure Of New York Firm Occasions
Surprise in Street

SdI w oilCCh
New York. Aug. 22-The failure Of
Trippe & 60. was announced today on
the New York Stock Exchange. The
firm is composed of George NJ. WoOlsey,
who is a member of the New York Stock
Exchange; William j. Palmer and John
J. Gilies. 1t was organized on August
20. 1920, and has its offices Mt 30 Broad
street. The firm took its name from
Charles W. Trippc. who died year
ago. 1t had been active in motor and
tire shares.
The failure occasiOned considerable
surprise, as the firm, while organized in
its present form only year ago, had
been prominent as a commission house
for ten years, and there had been no
intmation of embarrassment. In some
quarters the failure was attributed to
the inability of customers to meet OBJ
legations and to thc shrinkage in the
last six months of value or many Sc
curities held by the firm as collateral.
Albert +. Putnam. member of another
Stock Exchange firm, was appointed re-
Cciver.

change firms have failed. One was re-

HEAD OF DEPARTMENT SUB.
MITS RESIGNATION
Commissioners Forced to Get Out
Due to Low Saiary-May Join
Columbia Company
The State, %.


W. a. McSwain, insurance COM
missioner Of South Carolina, has ten
dered his resignation to Governor
Cooper to take effect jus: as soon as
the governor is willing, it was learn
ed yesterday, although no announce
ment to this effect could be had from
the executive Offices Of the governor.
Governor Cooper is away from the
city, ceing in Texas, and confirmation
of the resignation was not obtainable,
BIT the commissioner is known to have
submitted his resignation TO the chief
executive.
Mr.. McSwa!n is leaving the insur-
ance department in an effort to re-
cupe.ate his private fortunes, the
salary Of the Office being so low that
no chance is offered for saving. Dur
ing the legislative session there was
some talk of the commissioner leav-
ing at that time, but when asked
about the matter, Mr.. McSwain had
no statement to make. 1t was un-
derstood that in case the general
assembly saw fit to raise the salaries
of the state officers so they could
comfortably live, the commissioner
would remain in office, but this was
not done and the same salary OF
$1,000 remains. in force.
Mr.. McSwain is now in Texas, hav-
ing gone to the Lone Star state last
week and what his plans are for the
future are not known, but he has re-
received a number Of offers IN the
past six months. 1t is understood
that he will become connected with a
new 100000 insurance firm in Co.
lumbia, organized and chartered
week ago.
Mr.. McSwain has been insurance
commissioner since 1917, succeeding
F. H. McMaster of Columbia, and
his record has been one of business
and service Of a high order to the
state. His resignation will mean
distinct loss to the state.
It is not known now who the gov
ernor has under consideration as
successor to MIR. McSwain.
