MAXWELL CORNER
 <. HALTS TRADING
Free and Open Market lmpos- sible-Lila Lee Cleans Up

New York. June {. tAP)-Trading In Maxwell Motor corporation A and B stock has been suspended on the New York stock exchange by order or the governing committee because a natural corner prevented a free and open market. ,
 The stocks in four months climb. cd 47 and s4 points respectively. The A stock rose from 74 5-8 January 27 to l21 1-2 yesterday. The B stock : shot up from sa3.s5 a, share to $127.50.
 The New York Tribune today says that Lila Lee. film actress cleaned up sSS,0o0' in the sensational ad- vance. She is said to be one of the few who has made money In Maxwell. Many who are short on the stock are wondering how to pay their obligations now that trading has ended.
 The corner was unlike those con- triyed by Allan A. Ryan in Stutz stock in 1920 and by Clarence Saun- ders in Piggly Wiggly in 1923. It was caused by the plan of readjust- nient. announced April 16. by which the Chrysler corporation took over the assets and liabilities of the Max well corporation. Ninety per cent of the Maxwell stock had been de- posted by May26 for exchange into stocks of the new corporation.
 The deposited stock, traded in as Maxwell Motors A and B certificates Is not affected by the suspension or der. The remaining 10 per cent of the old stock is held by a few per- sons. No individual is held respon- sible for the corner, but the supply of unconyerted stock is regarded as insufficient to cover trading opera lions.

UNSETTLED PRICES
 AS MARKET OPENS
Motor Shares React in Sympathy
 With Maxwell

New York, June ( (AP)--stock prices were unsettled at the opening of today's market by the suspension of trading in Maxwell "A" and ''B' shares, in which the stock exchange found that technical corner exist ed. Chief trading interest centered In the action of the Maxwell "B,., certificates, which recorded an ini- tial loss of two points. Various other motor shares and speculative favorites reacted in sympathy.
 Stock prices reacted sharply today under active selling for both ac- counts. which apparently was in- spired by the growing belief that many stocks had been over-bought in the recent extended advance. Suspension of trading in the old Maxwell shares and the weakness of French exchange. also had de- pressing effect on sentiment. Total sales approximated 100000 shares.
 Recent gyratiens ip the Maxwell stocks had been the outstanding fea- ture of speculative activities and their removal from the list damp ened professional enthusiasm. The B" certificates continued to show heavy tone but the "A" certificates, In which trading has been less &C., tive moved up 21s points. Selling of pivotal issues. including American Can, Baldwin, Mack Trucks and Du- pont, enumerated buying opera tions in a new selected issues, which lifted prices of American Ice, Mid- continent Petroleum, S.

Heavy increases in the French note circulation and bank advances to the state was followed by q 5-point break in the franc to a new low for the year at 4s1 cents.
 Bear traders extended their short position as trading progressed, in sn apparent effort to uncover additional weak spots. Selling for both &C., counts was inspired, in part, by the inability of operators for the rise to attract q wide public following, particularly in the standard indus trials. with growing uneasiness over the Maxwell situation and the fur ther weakness of the continental ex- changes.
 Lowering of the renewal rate on call money to Ss4 per cent and bullish demonstration in Baldwin which carried that stock above 1sS before midday failed to arouse much bullish enthusiasm in other quarters While the continued sultry weather had a restrictive effect on trading, II the demand for American Ice. which crossed i12 to the high est price in three years.
