NEW YORK, Oct 1.-THE Wall
Street Journals financial review to-
day says:
Stock exchange loan figures for
Seutember, published after Wednes-
davis close. showed an increase OF
$7G,7S8 over August, substantially
larger expansion than was set forth
for the same period in the Federal
reserve figures, which do not include
borrowings from private and foreign
banks.
However, sentiment regarding the
credit situation was somewhat reas-
sured by maintenance of a per cent
bank rate at Boston. Professional
who had sold on anticipation of an
increase were forced to cover on
} rising scale of prices in early deal
ings.
Hudson Motor was conspicuously
strong, advancing "a, to Sc, on ac'
tive buying by w. c. Durant, which
threw an over-eXtended short inter
est into hurried retreat. WoolWorth
spurted ~ to 1894, responding to
an increase Of &C per cent in its
September sales. American Can adj
vanced point to 5234, Du Pont, 2H'
to $685., and Steel, Is, to 1473s.
After displaying a fairly good tone
in the late morning, stocks had an
other sinking spell around noon and
new lows on the movement were
reached by the principal rails and in
dustrials.
Heavy margin calls were sent out
after Wednesdays close and many
traders put in stop loss orders in
stead of depositing additional margin.
These stops were caught as the de
cline proceeded, adding momentum
to the downward swing.
Prices in the leading ind Istria!s
broke badly under the leadership IF
steel and General Motors. The lat
ter experienced perpendicular
drop to 1854, off 62l points from its
morning high, while Steel was de
pressed to 144%, off 2 points from
the previous close.
Hish-grade rails were also heavily
sold, Nickel Plate breaking 3 points.

Other Plans

If the Governor should refuse
again to listen to the plea of the
editors and the State Senators and
the trustees adhere to the decision
made yesterday to refuse to interfere
with Daily, other appeals and infiu-
ence will be sought.
The editors committee indicated
that it had the faith that very soon
public opinion in this matter would
force the officials to reconsider and
permit Stephenson to be seen and
furnish the evidence which he as
serts he can give. Otherwise the
manner in which a special session Of
the Legislature may be called is be-
ing studied.
There has been. as yet, no indica-
ton that prosecutions will be sought
in Marion County or any reliance
placed on local officials for CO.
operation.

Important Admission

That Duvall admitted the authen-
ticity of the handwritten letter was
regarded as more than important.
The committee declared that both
documents were obtained from the
same source, very close to Stephen
son, and were made apparently at
the same time.
That Stephenson had photog-
raphed and kept important letters
from politicians was the fact that
brought chill to most of the form
er subordinates of Stephenson.
The committee refused to state
when or how many more documents
would be published.
I'VE believe that when Governor
Jackson sees these documents and
learns of the admission of Duvall
that the letter on the treasureship II
authentic, he may revise his opinion
Of his powers and duties in this mat
ter and at least his appointee. War
den DAILY, to grant the request" said
another member of the committee.
