Bull Tins GaIore

The failure of the market to react as
the bears have been hoping for several
days has influenced some brokers' to
come out boldly and predict that sew
eral' of the highly speculative issues
are headed toward much higher levels.
The following are some of the tips cir
culated yesterday from one brokerage
house: "An operator responsible for
the move in Haskell-Barker is talking
of a move in Crucible and would not be-
surprised to Sc it whirl at any moment
because Of the small floating supply
Baldwin is talked of for 95 this week" J"
Atlantic Gulf is talked of for 35 this
week" 1--WE understand from good
speculative sources that there is a good
move coming in Kelly Springfield this
week. At least, it will be attempted
and if it has strength to go through
42A it will move quickly to new high
above 95."

unfavorable report for the September
quarter, showing total deficit of 81
540,0S3, after all charges. AT the close

points and the common of / 1ls. Brok-
ers regarded the action of these two
stocks as significant of the current
trend of the market. It was pointed
out that the public is beginning to

dustrial companies are now behind
them and that the depression in their
respective industries was discounted
marketwise several weeks ago In

The shorts in Mexican Petroleum
found little to comfort them in read
ing in yesterday mornings papers that
the company in the first six months
of 1921 had earned S17.5O a share on
the common stock and it was apparent
that at the opening of the stock mar
cover. This was probably the chief
reason for the run up in the stock
during the first few minutes of trading
to 1O91., or Ga points above Mondays

short stock had been covered, trading
became less active, and by the close
the price had dropped back to 1065s, q
net gain for the session of 31s points.

Money From the Interior

Six per cent call money here has
had the effect of attracting banking
funds from the interior. it was said
yesterday, and this was held response
bic yesterday for a slightly easier tone
in the local market, although at the
Stock Exchange the rate again touched
6 per cent. In the outside market,
however, rate of "a per cent was
quoted. The present stringency in
money is only temporary, in the opin-
ion of bankers, and the situation will
ease up again just as soon as the end
of the month requirements have been
taken care Of. The government is
withdrawing S3.O00,0O0 from New York
banks tomorrow.

In Wall Street
The Odds Lengthen

In certain Wall Street banking
houses yesterday it was figured that
the odds should be about 8 TO /, and
possibly to J., that there would be no
general strike of railroad workers on
the date set for the walkout. Word
came to the financial district from pri-
yate sources at Washington that the
Administration is prepared to let the
situation go to n crisis and will not do
anything to force compromise be-
tween the roads and the unions. This
was pleasing tp that faction of the
Street which believes now is the time
for inevitable Showdown" to take
place.

Sterling Continues Higher

The rise in sterling exchange yester-
day to new high for the movement
at $3.97S for cables on London-with-
in 8 cents of the years high
reached last spring-was in line with
bankers expectations of 81 rate
within abort time. This movement
is contrary to the usual autumn trend
when heavy seasonal purchases for
tomarily depress sterling. Continental
rates, as a rule, have followed sterling's
climb, although with the exception Of
Swiss francs none of them is so close
to the years high. German marks con-
tinue to hang around their low level
and the outlook for this currency is
apparently not improving to any great

FINED FOR DISTURBING PEACE.

Sheriff Steele and City Marshal Will lingham were called out last night to quell disturbance at the home of Joe Smicker. Upon their arrival there they found Smicker and his wife engaged in a heated quarrel, and they immedi- ately arrested Smicker who, it is said, was drinking. Investigation of pistol shots previously heard, developed that the husband and wife were struggling to get possession of the gun, which was accidentally discharged during the scuffle.
 The city marshal locked Smicker up in the city jail, and he was this morn ing fined 5000 and costs for disturb of the peace by Mayor R. P. Hamby Smicker is an employee of the Arka- delphia Milling company of this city

Was Noted Criminal.

McVay was one of the states most noted criminals. He first came int" the limelight about 14 years ago when he killed Ben Hardy in a passenger coac oh at the Union station at Pine Bluff. This killing was the result cf a feud of long standing between the Me Ways and the Hardys. McVay was in dicted for first degree murder, hut was acquittep following trial in Jefferson circuit court. His plea was self-defense
 Although he was arrested for many petty offenses during the next few years, it was not until 1908 that he got on the front pages of the newspapers In July, 1908, McVay's brother, Albert Mcyay was killed by John Ethridee. Ethridge was indicted for murder and arraigned in Jefferson circuit court at Pine Bluff before Judge A. B. Grace

But One Member Left.

In accepting the resignation, Cover nor McRae said that he would appoint no successor. Abolition of the salaried Boa I'd of Control was one of the meas ures advocated by the governor which failed to go through the legislature. This leaves the board with but one member, W. H. Hall. The legislature failed to make any appropriation for the board. so that Mir. Hall is left n an unusual predicament with his offfi- cial status more or less doubtful.
 MT. Hall was informed of MT. Reaves' resignation over the telephone last night and asked if he intended to re- sign also. He replied that he saw no reaso why he should resign at this time, but declines to make any further statement.
 At the trial, it was brought out that Mir. Reaves had taken the constitution al oath required of all state officials, but had not taken second or supple mental oath provided by the legislative act creating the State Board of Chari- ties Control. This oath pledges the members of the board not to make pur- chases for tn estate from firms in which they have business or personal interests. On the witness stand MT. Reayes said that he did not know until yesterday that he was required to take a second oath.

REAVES QUITS
 CONTROL BOARD
ACQUITTED OF PERJURY, AR RESTED ON NEW CHARGE AND
 THEN RESIGNS.

As the continuation of a remarkable series of episodes, B. J. Reaves yester- day afternoon rendered his resignation as member of the Board of State Charities Control to Governor MeRae. who accepted it.
 The series of events was as follows: ::
 Mir. Reaves was placed on trial in first division circuit court on charge of purjury. It was charged that he was interested in the sale of a truck and an automobile to the Board of Con- trol by the Universal Motor company of Little Rock that he was stockhold- CT in the motor company and that this transaction constituted violation of the oath that he took as member of the Board of Control.
 The trial halted abruptly when MT. Reaves' attorney raised the point that Mir. Reaves had never taken the oath which he is accused of having violated. Investigation proved that the statement was correct.
 Judge Wade thereupon directed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty, the only course left open to the judge.
 Almost immediately, however, Mir. Reaves was indicted and rearrested on a charge of usurpation of office. He was released of 5000 bond.
 Mir. Reaves' resignation and its ac- ceptance eliminated the remarkable sequence of events.
