MARKET OPEN AND

Conflicting Forces Each Hold
 Sway

New York. Dec. q P - With business contracting due to the higher carrying charges for call money and the approach of the holiday season, the stock market today shifted back and forth under the pressure of profit-taking and short selling on one side and the revival of pool operations on the other.
 Banks were forced to call loans extensively in view of the heavy holiday withdrawals of currency, large year-end disbursements and the slow return of checks against the recent tax payments. As a re- suit, call money opened and held at , 1-2 per cent.
 Despite this retarding influence. bullish activities were not entirely suspended. Speculative cliques brought new issues into the lime light, lifting the prices Of Malln- son Silk. Davison Chemical and Collins and Aikman 2 1-2 to 1-2 points. Pivotal industrials were quiet with the exception of Gen. eral Motors which was leading an advance in the automobile and &C., cessory stocks In the early after noon.
 Buying interest in the railroad group was confined mainly to the Van Sweringen issues, which re- sponded to indications that a for nal announcement would soon be made regarding the Nickel Plate merger. Frisco common shares also were strong, rising to a new high record above 10S.

amount of approximately 100000.
The indictment against Hammons
follows the Indictment of large
number of officials of the defunct
banks on charges ranging from ac4
ceptance of deposits when they knew

today indicted Harry M. Daugherty,
formed United States attorney gem
eral; Thomas w. Miller, former alien
property custodian, and John T. King,
former republican national commit

HOPES FOR AID
FOR THE FARMER
nv Disnatch A. P. Mirel


WASHINGTON, May 7.-While the
house continued debate on the Hau
gen, Tincher and CurtisAswell farm
relief bills, republican leaders today
sought a statement from President
Coolidge as to his views.
After a visit to the White House,
Representative Vestal of Indiana, the
republican whip represented the pres
ident as hopeful for farm legisla-
tion. The republican steering COM
mittee also discussed the situation
without reaching any conclusion as
to what should be done.
Meanwhile in the senate another
meeting was held by the group that
is endeavoring to postpone adjourn
ment until some form of relief leg
islation is enacted. While debate
progressed on the hour floor, cor
tinuing at a session tonight, mem
bers discussed the subject in cloak
rooms to line up support for the
various proposals and get line on
sentiment. Representative Oldfield, of
Arkansas, the democratic whip, e&-
pressed the belief that only a few
democrats would support the Tincher
bill, which has been endorsed by
Secretary Jardine. He said most dem
ocrats would prefer no farm legisla-
tion in preference to this proposal.
Proponents of the Haugen measure
predicted they would obtain ma
,jority of the republican vote which,
coupled with some democratic sup
port, would give the bill a majority.
This estimate, however, was chal-
lenged by opponents of the proposals.
1t was generally believed that the
Curtis Aswen bill has no chance of
