ATTACKS ELLIS ISLAND

LONDON, June 20.-(By Associated Presso-Ellis Island was denounced in the House of Commons today and the suggestion wasN advanced that Great Britain ought to retaliate if the American government does not change the methods of detainlns British subjects there.
 Harry Becker. independent conser- vative, asked the 0nder secretary for foreign affairs, Ronald McNeill. how many English men and women are "incarcerated" on Ellis Island owing to the British quota of immigrants being filled.
 Mr. Becker also asked if the under secretary's attention had been called to the fact that some times as many as 15O women and children of all na- tionalities and colors are placed in one room to sleep-will he make representations to the United States government protesting against this prison-like treatment of English sub jects, and in the event of continu- ance of this practice will he consider taking measures of retaliation!
 Mr. McNeill replied:
 Il cannot say exactly how many British subjects are at present de- tained on Ellis Island. The atten- tion of his majesty's government has repeatedly been called to the con- ditions prevailing there and no op- portunity has been lost of pressing the United States to effect an im- provement. It would be difficult to devise suitable means of retaliation as very few citizens of the United States come to this country to set tle."

Large iron producers and all oth- CTS except the maker who recently sold several thousand tons at s25 base to a northern melter for third quarter delivery, reiterated Wednes- day their intention of standing firm ly by the $27 base and continued to quote that In small lots for prompt delivery disposed of.
 The maker quoting S25 operates one stack with monthly capacity of 5000 to 5000 tons and is often in the market to buy iron for an asso- ciated pipe interest. This maker sold iron at 32I last December when the market had gotten to s2S, but the market rallied very shortly and tho base of $27 was soon reached and Was maintained during the big buy ing of the early spring.
 The maker selling at s25 in the north is also understood to haze opened for that base for nearby southern delivery.

Ny WALTER B. BROWN Editor New York Commercial Leased W&Pr To The AGe.Herald,) }

NEW YORK, June 20.-The stock market received another jolt We'd hesday with the announcement of the failure of Zimmerman x Forshay, an old-time investment house that had been member of the stock exchange 46 years. Toward the forenoon there had been a sluggish recovery, but this news coming about 1 o'clock caused a considerable selling move ment, with average declines of F to points in the active list. Steel comon sold down to 9012, the lowest price in many months. Oils on the other hand showed considerable re- sistance.
 There is no use trying to explain the decline on any other basis than a temporary loss of confidence. Fun damental conditions on which stock market values S-e ordinarily placed are not being considered at present. Would He Rally.
 If they we're, there would be sharp rally. Unquestionably stocks are selling below their inherent value. It Is an unfortunate combina- ton of circumstances. There nave for example--been some failures or bucket shops, all rather spectacular but not due to the economic condi- tions of the country, to general pusl- ness conditions or to anything that should cause uneasness on the part of investors.
 These failures were due entirely to the fact tha: the members of such firms were crooks, doing crooked business. That is phase of the sit- uation by itself.
 Then. while the excitement caused by these revelations was at it's height, came the failure of Knauth. Nachod X Kuhne. Their collapse hao nothing to do with the bucket snop. failures. It had nothing to do witn' the business condition of the coun- try, that is, of this country.
 Originality German House.
 It was primarily due to conditions in cernsny, for it was originally a German house. Now comes the fail ure Of Zimmerman & Forshay, un- doubtedly precipitated by the pre- cedine failure because it was some what similar house. Some of it's as- sety are r German properties in the hands Of the alien property GUS todisu 1he immediate cause of it's collapse was the inability to secure new loans and the calling of old loans by the banks, although th1s was all preceded by run on the concern brought on by the whisper ings of Tuesday and the day before. While some of the assets may pc considered as frozen, the general opinion is that it's creditors will re- ceive payment in full and the house may even be enabled to continue. The failure n all probability would not have taken place if 1t had not been preceded by the bigger failure and accompanied by malicious ru-
