CURP EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Speculative in- terest in today's curb market was di- vided between the 20-point break in Prairie Oil and Gas, based on official intinatton of temporary reduction in dividends and the strnegth of United Bakeries, which scared 10 points to 132 and then eased to 130h.
 Oils held relatively steady in view of Prairie's sharp reaction. Losses of l to points in Galent Signal, Illinois Fape, Prairie Pipe, Southern Pipe and Magnolia, largely on small turnovers were countered by gains of 1 to 2h points in Buckeye Pipe, Cities Service, Crescent Pipe, Standard oil of Ken lucky and Standard Oil of Ohio pre- fofred. Ward Baking, class B, climbed 2% point sto 3S%. Radio shares showed little chance, Freed -Eiseman yielding further on profit taking. Considerable interest was manifested in the new Thermiodyne Radio shares, which will be offered to the public tomorrow and ttaded in on curb next week. Lehigh Valley coal certificates moved up about a point to 39h and Pittsburg Terminal Coal showed a net gain of 2 points at 49. .on reports that a\special meeting of the Pittsburg and West Virginia stock holders had been called to act on the segregation of this coal property.

civil suit of the Gumps has been set tied but the criminal charge Is still held against Thaw.
 Spent Night Packing.
 Thaw is confident he will be de- clared sane. So sure is he, that at tendants said he spent last night at the hospital packing some of his per sonal belongings.
 Even if Thaw is declared still to be insane, it is not expected he will remain at the institution, as the au- thorities there are said to have ex- pressed a desire that he be removed to some other hospital. It was ex- plainod that hospital authorities do not want to be involved in further court litigation.
 Mr Dickson went extensively into Thaw's career. He laid great stress upon the allegation that after ThaW was released from the New York state asylum at Matteawan, he administer cd a beating to the Gnmp youth and that as a consequence he was declared Insane by jury in Philadelphia In 1907. Mr Dickson said that Thaw has always been insane,
 "He suffers from a moral dent" said Mir. Dickson, and his condition is 4 mental affair that goes deep down and does not show on the surface"
 Showed His Real Nature.
 Nr. Dickson asserted that Thaw showed his real nature by the way he treated his Rabbits. During Thaw's first year Of confinement in the hos pital, he had baen seized by recur- renee of brain storms" the attorney said, in which he revealed "a contin- ual moral dcpravity."
 .1for the last six years the attorney said, Thaw plotted for his liberty. He cultivated friends, talked freely with everyone he might use later as q wit ness, and prepared in every way to get out.
 Mir. Dickson said Thaw and his counsel had "iockeyed" the Gump af- fair so that they waited seven years until the case was settled before Thaw made an effort to obtain his freedom.
 Mr. Dickson added that if it had not been for the trustees of the Thaw estate, there would have been no con- test. All the evidence would have been in favor of Thaw. he said. The records about the rabbits would never have been presented.
 Tbaw Glares at Doctors.
 During Mir. Dickson's address, Thaw rlared al the hospital doctors from time 10 time as the speakers appar- ently made telling points. Thaw's mother came into the court room llile Dr. Dickson was speaking and there was the daily scene of affection between her and Harry, which ended 1 when the son helped ths mother to g seat. William A. Gray, counsel for | Russell William Thaw, 1S-year old i son of Evelyn Nesbit. divorced wife Of ! Harry Thaw. followed Mir. Dickson ! also in opposition to Thaw's release, He explained he represented the | mother of Thaws son" who was per. ! mitted 10 intervene in the case 3 week 1 ago. He said he had a right to sp- 1 pear for the child on account of the | boys interest in the Thsw estate.
