SESSION
WOULD HELP
MARKET
Ruckeyser Believes Time Is
Ripe to Substitute Known
Facts for Uncertainty.
By MERRYLE STANLEY
RUKEYSER.

SCopyright, 1928, by Star Company. 1nc.s
and Distributed by Cosmopolitan
News Service)
NEW YORK, Aug. THE call
Ing of an extra session Of Con-
gress, which, it is reported, is
under consideration, would not nee
essarily be bearish, or unfavorable
to speculative prices. 1t would
hasten the time for substituting
known facts for uncertainties in the
field of politics and legislation. In
meets in December, the so-called
radicals from agrarian West will
hold balance of power.
In conservative quarters, some
apprehension is felt as to the pos
bibility of hostile legislation, par
ticularly against the railroads. The
uncertainty has long been a factor
in frightening caution and re-
straint, and there are some who
would like to have developments
become matters of record as soon
as possible, so that business iritia-
tive, restrained by uncertainty,
might again be liberated.
In railroading there has been a
lack of venturesomeness for nearly
two decades. In the last year there
road issues and the outlook is
somewhat better.
The risk and the vision Of past
generations are depended upon, in
stead of new initiative and a fresh
spirit of adventure.
What is the present creating for
the future?
Each week during the summer
season accidents recur at grade
crossings.
If economic conditions do not
justify the expansion Of railroad
facilities through new construction,
there is no reason except one why
the roads should not be moderniZed
by the elimination Of grade cross
ings.
The only objection is financial.
tThe railroads complain they are
without financial incentive for even
revenue producing improvements
unless rates are adequate and ex-
plain that depressions and bridges
which would eliminate the grade
crossings would produce no addi-
tional income, despite their enor-
nous cost.
The problem should not lay dor
mant and unsolved until the car
riers, piece-meal, are able In the
course of many generations to re-
move the hazards. 1t is an issue
for the people to deal with. Com
munities affected should, perhaps,
themselves assume part of the
financial burden If no other pract1-
cal means can be devised.

Fuller and MCGEE Confessions
to U. S. District Attorney
Involve "Higher-ups."
By international News Service.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Williann
Hayward, United States District
Attorney, today promised to. write
a new chapter Of "frenzied finance. I"
Armed with what he says is a
full confession by Edward M. Full
Ter and William F. MCGEE, part
ners in E. M. Fuller & Co.,
convicted Wall Street bucketshop
operators, Colonel Hayward an
nounced himself prepared to tell
how lambs" from Broadway to
Main street, have been victimized
out Of the billion dollars the Insti-
tute Of Economics, Washington, has
estimated as the loot of stock
swindlers" in the last twelve
months.
Hayward said this morning that
Fuller and MCGEE, aided by a group
of higher-ups, believed to be social,
political and financial leaders of
the metropolis, alone secured $5,-
100000 of this sum, victimizing
lambs" from New York to San
Francisco.
At this time the Government
does not believe the ends of justice
would be served in telling the in
side story of one of the greatest
of Wall Street swindles," Colonel
Hayward said today. However,
the confession of Fuller and MCGEE
will be made public and the whole
story told as a warning to in

COAL OUTLOOK|N
n. Y. SEEMS
GLOOMY
Small Deliveries Made Old
Customers by Dealers But
Others Wait.
BY WILLIAM RANDORF.
Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, Aug. Whether
a New Yorker and his family can
keep comfortably warm in his home
next winter depends on whether
he patronized coal dealer in pre-
vious years, and to what extent
he bought coal from him.
A survey of the anthracite coal
situation in New York today re-
vealed that dealers are:
1. Delivering anthracite in small
quantities to old customers ra.
tioning coal mostly on the basis Of
purchases in the past.
2. Booking orders for hard coal
at from $13 to $14.50 a ton for
stove size from new customers for
future delivery" -
That future delivery is the
hitch, however. For dealers will
not say definitely when that time
will come when they are actually
to make deliveries. You may book
orders for ten. twenty or 100
tons-but you get no guaranty
that you'll get them before Father
Frost invades the city and chills
your coal-less home.
There are a very few concerns
which promise immediate delivery
of anthracite, but even they are
able to do so only Internationally.
No definite record of the hard
coal in stock or received daily in
New York and destined for the
metropolitan area could be obtained
today. It was explained that while
dealers took all the anthracite
obtainabIe. much of the coal arriv-
ing at the harbor was destined,
under the ALLEGATION program, to
other points. including New England
and states elsewhere
It was said that, in fear of a
strike in the Pennsylvania field. an
enormous amount Of future" orders
have been received. Further con-
Germ was caused by news from
Washington that even if the strike
does not occur, a shortage OF hard
coal would develop by January /,
1924.
The price has been holding
steady within narrow range. and
dealers declare today its further
tendency would depend on the sup
ply available in the next few weeks.

STOCKS STEADY,

DULL
Traders Mark Time on Ac-
count of Closing of Ex-

News Service.)
NEW YORK, Aug. Dull but
steady price movements character.
lied the first two hours trading
on the stock exchange today. Elk
pansion of trading could hardly be
sion tomorrow and the closing of
the exchange on Friday, the day
of President Harding's funeral.
Traders merely marked time, being
, satisfied to stand aloof until the
policy of the Coolidge Administra-
ton in regard to special problems
will be more clearly defined. There
was, however, a feeling Of conf
the various decisions to be made,
prevailing stability.
The market opened generally
higher. There was no particular
group receiving special favor, but
the absolute absence Of selling pres
sure was an encouraging feature.
Trading turned exceedingly dull
shortly after the opening, which de-
velopment was usedW by the bear
element to test the market on the
downward side. Prices dipped slight
ly below their previous closing
o levels, but offerings were quickly
absorbed, and, save for few issues
which were depressed for special
reasons, the market more than re-
gained its lost ground. Among the
stocks which did not rally along
with the rest of the list We're Cen
trail Leather and American Hide

sues made new lows for the year,
the latter in connection with the
poor second quarterly report, dis
closing a deficit Of $780, 34, against
a deficit of $11S,175 in the previous
quarter.
Equipment stocks were again
prominent on the constructive side,
American Locomotive making a
new high above IA. Baldwin rose
IL points to 1141. Steel stocks
were in good form. Mack Truck
was a strong feature in the motor
group, but copper stocks were
bit heavy, due to the slightly cas-
fer tone in the market for the
yellow metal. Some of the oil
shares showed heaviness at times,
but they came back in good fash
on. Selling in the Northwestern
rails apparently had spent it's
force, Great Northern Pacific ruling
about a point higher. st. Paul
issues were also in better demand.
