Unexpected favorable financial news
from England today served to change
the trend OF values, and modify bear-

TO business interests, especially If the
tax in the United States is rescinded,
which is likely to occur after the
new administration is installed, next
month, as the removal of the tax

merchants and manufacturers to do
business.

when they were decreasing last year.
The market for spots for some

Walter a. Funk in the circuit court

there was any reason why he should

formally pronounced sentence on
AtyeO in conformance with the YER
dict Of the jury which Saturday

The formal sentencing of Atyeo by
Judge Funk followed the courts ac-
ton in overruling a motion of the de-
Tense for a new trial, made by Cliff

Atty. Ducomb asked for 80 days in

supreme court. The court granted
the request.
Atyeo supported himself by hold
ing onto a chair in front Of him as
he stood up 10 receive his sentence.
He appeared weak and nervous, al
though he spoke in a clear voice
when he said that he believed that
he was justified in shooting Ander-
