THE secret inner chamber Of

THE thing was really done by
some Jewish family wcrk-

living. That family was de-

SUPREME TRIBUNAL IS

Beck Declares U. S. Court Is Great
 Light House

LONDON, July 2.-James NJ. Beck, solicitor general of the United States, delivered the second of his addresses on the supreme court of the United States In the hall of Grays Inn. under the auspices of the Council of Legal Education, which represents all four of the Inns of court.
 Paying tribute to tho supreme court is a great lighthouse" stand ing firm even when furious storms of discomfort lashed the national waters, Mir. Beck said:
 Continuously through its history it's great decisions, when they thus defeated some momentary wish of the majority. have caused a violent reac- ton against the moral power of the court. Only a people with suffi- cient genius for self-restraint and willing to accept the judgments of a court as the final science of the ma tion in matters of constitutional mo rality could make such an institution workable in Q proud democracy, and nothing seems to me nobler in the history of the American republic than the fact that while each unpopular decision of the court has been fol- lowed by a temporary attack upon it's views. yet the sober, second judg- ment of the American people has always been to accept loyalty the judgment of this great court"

SINKING SPELLS ARE FOLLOWED BY
 GOOD RECOVER|ES
Public Is Scared Off, While The Market Is Purely
 Professional
By WALTER B. BROWN
 Editor New York Commercial hensed Wire to The Age-Herald)


 NEW YORK, July 2.-Stocks had several sinking spells again Mon day. but managed to effect pretty good recoveries which at the close represented gains in the averages of 12 to 1A points for the active stocks. The pressure seemed to be removed for the time being, which was all there was to account for the change because as the market now stands it Is purely professional, with the public scared off.
 The more the situation is studied d the more the conclusion Is reached that the market is suffering from a state of nerves The idea also pre- Nails In some quarters that at least some of those responsible for in- augurating the bear drive are rather sorry for what they have done be- cause it has gotten away from then and gone much farther than it was their intention 1t should.
 o. 70
 Confidence Impaired.
 So far as Well street is concerned, public coincidence is seriously inn paired. The professional trader, otherwise known as the public, is tll diu lO uO any liiIlS JubL HoW eA- cept get out if he can. Ninety-eight per cent of the speculative public trades on the side of rising prices, and it is only 9 per cent that has the courage to ever attempt the short side. The professional, there fore, not only is not on hand to take advantage of the technical situation of the market, but would not know how to do it if 1t were.
 Q Q
 Something Wrong.
 The happenings in the financial world In the last few months have convinced him that something Is wrong, but he does not know what. It is rather difficult for him to rec oncile the decline in stock market values with the continued activity in industry and he is apt to assume that Wall street knows pretty well what it is doing and there have been times in history when it has gussed the future wrong. At present. 1t is not guessing the future at all. It Is simply trying to find itself and to reconcile conditions just as the non professional Is trying to do. Even the Harvard economic service, the most conservative of the research bureaus, issued a statement Monday that there was no reason apparent why prosperity should not continue indefinitely even gased on the tech nical developments in the market. It is a time fof clear, sane thinking and a refusal to be swayed by the clamor of the moment.

COTTON CRASHES. ON GOVERNMENTS
 REPORT ON CROP

NEW YORK, JxDy 2.-The govern ment's crop report was followed by a severe break in the cotton market here this afternoon. The condition of 699 officially reported was very closely in line with expectations, but the figures showing increase of 12.6 per cent in acreage with an area of 2S,3S7,00 acres under cultivation as of June 25, was a decided surprise to the trade. owing to this uneX- pectedly large increase in acreage, the governments report gave crop indication of 11,412,OOO bales or very nearly 700,00 bales more than the average of the private reports re- gently issued. These figures led to more or less general liquidation which broke the price of October contracts to 23.S3c or "A points be- low yesterdays closing figures and the lowest price touched since the rally of 25.50c for October on June 23. There was a good deal of scale down buying on the decline believed to be partly for trade account, how ever, and last prices showed rallies of 23 to 27 points on covering, with OClODeT ClOSlHS at Sf'l1O' NiiS D eeAA eral market closed steady at net de- clines of 2S to 46 points.
 Trading was quiet before the re- port was issued but prices showed tendency to sag off owing to a feel ing that bullish government figures on the yield outloCks should be dis continued, poor Liverpool cables and reports of continued good weather in the south.
 There was general or aggressive pressure on the forenoon decline, but prices shC Cwed net losses of some 30 to 40 points before the crop figures were issued. The selling movement broadened as soon as the uneXpect- edly large acreage and indicated yield statement was issued and the market was very nervous and unset tied during the afternoon. Selling on the report was prompted by be- lief that the crop had made good progress since June 25, and 1t was pointed cut that the condition In Texas was above the 10-year aver age, also that the estimated acreage was the biggest on record. Houses with southern connection, particu- larly New Orleans, were among the mort prominent sellers on the de- cline. Port receipts today were 6,327. United States port stocks, 2S5.250. Exports, 26.000, making 4,661,0oS so far this season.
