WHEAT VALUES DROP

CHICAGO. October A. Selling on

BEARS HAVE EDGE
IN STOCK MARKET
Bull Operations in Group En-.
deavoring to Bring About
New Advance.
by STUART p. WEST.


NEW YORK. October 4.-Thert
were obviously two sides to tht
market today on the Stock Exchange
One group OF traders, conhning it:
trying to bring about renewal oi
the advance. Another group, deter
mined that the market had had suf-
f1cient rise, was actively working or
the other side. and as the day went
on met with some success.
The persistent selling of L. S. Steel
was the chief depressing incident. The
stock opened just above 1913, unchanS
ed from Saturday 1t dipped down to
about 1872. rallied a point. then ran
into large offerings. Seeing this stock
overhanging the market, the profeS
Sional selling element assumed more
confidence and the steel shares were
the particular object of attack from
then on The comparative ease with
which they gave way did more than
anything else to cause unsettlement
in other parts of the list.
Rivals in Roadway Groups.
There were two rival influences IN
the railway division. One was fur-
ther bad break in Atlantic Coast Line.
On the other hand there was the con
spicuouS strength of the stocks as
sociated with the Van SWerlngen mer-
ger. Erie shares were uncommonly ac-
tive and strong, Chesapeake and ONO
at one time was up nearly 2 points
and Nickel Plate ran up across the
200 level. Atchison. which had started
in above l57, dropped off sharply.
most of the other rails moved uncer-
tainlv with less interest taken in
them.
New York Central and Union Pa
cifc were lower. The attempts to
minimize the big shrinkage in Attain
tic Coast Line earnings reported last
week had evidently failed. Wall street
began to get a better idea or what the
COLLAPSE in the Florida land boom
meant to railways operating in that
section The weakness extended to
Southern Railway, which was off
over a point.
General Motors was counter
balance to some extent to the selling
of United States Steel. The stock
met with good support whenever 1t
went off and took the lead on the
rally. Mack Trucks was weak again
on unfavorable forecasts of the COM
pany's earnings for the third quarter.
1t was estimated that profits would
scarcely amount 10 more tiidH Hdli
those of year ago.
Harvester Very Strong.
International Harvester was very
strong again and Radio Corporation
was Steadier Warner Brothers raj
lied for q time, while Famous Players
as 1t got above 120 encountered lot
of stock for sale. May Department
Stores was feature among the mer-
chandise shares. Studebaker came
down nearly a point. United States
Hoffman Machinery. which had gained
nearly points last week. was up al
most more at one stage. In these
ways the confused character of the
price movement was shown.
There were no new outside consid-
erations developing over Sunday. 1t
was simply a case OF professional
traders, with the public, not disposed
to do anything fresh, one way or the
other, operating at cross purposes.

CAPITAL TRACTION PR OFITS GAIN
IN AUGUST OVER JULY FIGURES
$1,000 Ahead of Previous
Month, But $1,000 Below
Same Period Year Ago.
Many Washington Bankers
Are at Convention of
A. B. A. on Coast.
BY EDWARD e. STONE.

According to the report of the Capt.
tai Ira actiOn Co. for August, filed with
the Public Utilities Commission today,
net corporate income for the month
totaled $37 7,46s.3S, which was more
than $4,000 ahead of the figures for
the preceding month Of July. but
nearly $4,000 under the net income
for August, 1925. when the financial
statement showed S43, ,467.5l. The
gain over July Is considered rather
surprising as August is usually
greater vacation month than July, so
that there are fewer people In the
city to use the street cars. The loss
over August of last year is attr1but-
able In some measure to the further
increase in privately-owned autono-
biles and additional bus service not
controlled by the traction company.
The report reveals that the com
pany's total operating revenues for
August were $344, ,7645S. compared
with July earnings Of $361,9 ,9S3.S4. and
operating returns in August last year
of $349, ,450 66. August operating eX-
penses and taxes reached the sum OF
S279,3S9.16, leaving net operating
income of S65,375.42. This compares
with operating revenues in July of
1851. .983.S2. operating expenses and
taxes Of $294240.1S and a net operat-
ing income Of s67,743.64. while dur
ing August. 1925, the operating re-
ceipts were s349, ,450.66, expenses and
taxes $27940225 and total operating
income $70.048.41.
That the Capital Traction Co. is
having a good financial year is shown
by the summaries for the first eight
months, gross operating income being
3.0e7. 1881. The expenses and taxes
total $2,361 1850. leaving an operat-
ing income of s705,96231. After all
other deductions for the eight months
the company reports a total net cor
porate income of s494. 4.134.41. Pay pas
sengers carried during August num-
bered 4.74O,03 compared with 4,9S1.-
179 in July, and 4,9O4, 400 in August OF
last year. Pay passengers for the

The dirigible Norge of the Amundsen'
Ellsworth Mobile polar expedition ar
rived here this morning at o'clock
Greenwich time. The community was
aroused TO aid In landing the ship
after her | .400.mile trip from Trotsky.
At half.past 10 last night the Norge
had crossed the scattered drifting ice
south of Bear Island and passed
through patchy fog stretching to the
northward The ship crossed the east
side Of Bear Island and then set It's
course to the west OF South Cape.
On leaving Nadso at $50 pm. the
Norge had 5000 kilos of petrol aboard
The weather prospects were good.
The first word direct from the Norge
reached Spitzbergen at midnight
when the radio operator, Merk. re
ceived at Kings Bay a message from
the dirigible that she had passed Bear
Island some time earlier.
An earlier message by way Of Green
Harbor said that everything was well,
with the wind aft.
At the little radio station atop the
bluff at Kings Bay the progress Of the
dirigible was watched with intense in
terest. as this was the critical part OF
the trip.
The Norge was heard calling land
stations for directions as she felt her
way through the snow over the sea.

NEW YORK. May Harry NJ
Daugherty. former United States At
torney General, was indicted by
Federal grand jury today with
Thomas w. Miller, former alien prop
erty custodian, and John I. King,
former Republican national commit

Tie indictment charges conspiracy

ment of Daugherty and Miller, both

ting through the transfer deal.
Miller Indicted Before.
Miller was indicted last year with
four German and Swiss citizens and
three German and Swiss corporations
on charges of conspiracy TO defraud
the United States Government in the
release by Miller. as alien property
custodian, of about S7,000,000 of
seuuestered assets of the American
Metal Co. to prefer ded Swiss owners.
The Federal grand jury which re
turned todays indictment had been
investigating for several months the
transfer of the American Metals
stock to the alleged German owners.
The securities. representing 49 per
cent of the Company's stock, was
seized during the war as enemy
property.
Daugherty appeared before the
present grand jury last January. He
appeared before the investigating
body only after he had been cited
for contempt of court because of his
refusal to answer certain questions
before the grand jury. He escaped
