FINANCIAL REVIEW.

Price movements in the markets to-
day were very mixed. Parts Of the
share list were heavily sold while new
buying was going on in Others. This
was also true of bonds. Most Of the
copper issues were higher. while some
Of the rail bonds and recently favored
industrials went lower. There was
some inclination toward reaction In
the grain and cotton markets, but ii
was not at all important. In the ex-
changes, sterling made a new high,
getting up close to $40. Francs
were stronger while the recovery of
the German mark was checked.
No particular significance was at
tached to any Of these conditions, they
were all due purely TO speculative in
fluences. Wall Street seemed to have
been thinking more over the rapidity
and magnitude of the recent advance
and to have been wondering whether
with proper regard TO business. the
market had not been going ahead too
fast. This consideration was back of
most of the selling done. Still there
were no very positive indications that
the pools and other speculative inter
ests, which have been in control for
the last few months, were losing any
of their power.

Hearing Waived
and Fugitive Is
Executed Monday

Department Of Justice agents
captured a fugitive boil weevil in
the bureau Of investigation office
in the federal building, Monday
morning. The fugitive was detect
ed by Agent Frank j. Blake who
took the weevil into custody as it
was warming itself by the radi-
ator, on a warrant procured from
{. II. Alvord.
Mystery surrounding the pres
ence Of the boil weevil in the fed
eral building was cleared away
when the Department of Justice
agents discovered that there was
a mass of course cotton used for
filling mattresses, found among
some government property being
held at the offices as evidence in
a government property theft case.
The fugitive was executed at
1910 O'Clock Monday morning by
Mr.. Blake. The culprit remained

| TESTIMONY DIFFERS
IN FREIGHT RATE
CASE HERE MONDAY
Carriers Seek to Contradict
Figures GiVen by Okla
homa Traffic Association.

Herman W. Press, assistant to the
comptroller of the Frisco lines. took
the stand at the resumption of the
Oklahoma freight rate hearing Mon
day morning. His testimony was in
troduced by the carriers to obtain in
the record a contradiction of the fig
ures on railroad operating expenses
and earnings testified to by J. X.
Moore of the Oklahoma Traffic AS
sOciatiOn.
Mr.. Moore gave figures TO show
that the expense of operating in Okla
homa is not higher than it is in
Kansas and other states, and that
the rates, therefore, should not be
higher. In arriving at his figures he
used an equation of ton and pasSen-
ger miles. Mr.. Press, in his testimony,
claimed that this method of compu-
tatiOn is not reliable and that the
two cannot be mixed Further. he
said, that Mr.. Moore had figured the
average earnings per ton mile on all
commodities in Oklahoma and cOmpar-
ed it TO the average earnings per ton
mile in Kansas on all commodities.
Due to the difference in the nature Of
the commodities moving in one state
to those moving in another, Mr..
Press said that such a comparison was
not reliable.
As an example he illustrated the
amount of coal, which takes very
low rate. hauled in the two states.
In Kansas. he said. coal constitutes
approximately Is per cent of the en-
tire freight traffic. In Oklahoma
only per cent of the traffic is coal.
This. he said, makes Il material diff
ference in the total ton mile earnings
in the two states. and shows that, be-
cause these earnings are more in one
state than they are in another. it does
not necessarily follow that the rates
are too high in one or too low in the
other.
Following Mr.. Press, A. /. Reed
of the Dallas Chamber of Commerce.
was called to finish his testimony
started Saturday. He introduced an
exhibit showing the average mileage
between points in st. Louis and de-
fined territories and points in the
Texas groups and Texas common
points This was preparatory to his
main testimony and defense of the
present rate system to be made at
the afternoon session.
Tuesday evening beginning at $50

tertained with a concert and dinner at

Church. Fourth and TAYLOR streets.

1T is the belief Of the postoffice
officials that the efficiency of the
postoffice department has reached its
maximum without the cooperation of
the business houses Of the country. $
Mr.. Lucas said. "If the business
firms will cooperate with the post
offices, more satisfactory service can
be given 10 the public.
Business firms should place their

Improperly addressed letters and

STOCK MARKET is
MIXED AS PROFIT
TAKING SETS IN
Copper Reaches is Cents;
Sterling Makes New
High.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Copyright by Abe San Antonio Light.
New York, Feb. 19.-The stock
market started in generally higher to,
day but ran into heavy realizing sales.
Stocks, like the oils and equipments,
which had been leading the market
upward, felt the main force of the
selling. The coppers, however. were
again taken up following the advance
in the metal to 10 cents and more at.
tention was paid the rails. These
movements were nothing more than
the ordinary shifting about of the &C.
tive speculative element from one set
of stocks to another.
The feature in the railway group
was the jump Of 2 TO 8 points in the
higher priced stocks representing the
southern carriers, Louisville & Nash
vile having the largest rise. This
stock is valued with reference to the
SOB, 100000 stock dividend which was
voted in the summer of 1921. Atlantic
Coast Line, owner of 81 per cent of
Louisville stock, followed it upward
and Illinois Central was very active
at advancing prices. The January
earnings of these roads are expected
to reflect, more than ever before. the
effect of the great rise in cotton
prices upon business conditions in
the South.
Early in the day. Utah Copper was
up point, Anaconda was selling
above OIL, and Inspiration. Ray and
kenneeott was all at new high prices.
But later these stocks were actively
sold and their advance brought to a
halt.
American Locomotive was not af-
fected by the poor showing in the an
nual report which had been antici-
pated, but Baldwin Locomotive came
down rather sharply. The Street is
thinking about, in connection with
these equipment companies, the ex-
traordinarily large bookings at the
present time and the demand for To-
comotives and cars will keep these
concerns extended 70 their capacity
