LIST IN REACTION
AFTER EARLY RISE
Selling Affects Railroad
Shares More Uniformly
Than Other Stocks.
by GEORGE Il. HUGHES.
.ecial Dispatch to The Star.

| Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, June 10.-The stock
market started in higher today, pu'
before business had been going on an
! hour an irregular downward reaction
| developed. The selling affected the
railroad stocks more uniformly than
it did the industrials, but there were
many weak spots in the latter part OF
the list.
There was no reason in the money
situation for a decline in stocks. The
bank rate had been left unchanged
after the close Thursday, but outside
| Of a few spectators no one had eX-
pected it would be cut at this time.
| Money renewed at 4A per cent, COM
pared with the rate of 4 per cent for
new loans prevailing on the day be-
| fore, but against all this was the
| showing in the Federal Reserve week
" statement, with its increase in gold
holdings and rise in the reserve ratio.
There is still abundant credit to
finance speculation, and, as a matter
Of fact, except in sentimental way, a
cut in the bank rate would not alter
the situation.
The Cautious Attitude.
What did seem to matter was the
cautious attitude inspired by the APP
preaching holiday. 1t was hard to
imagine any unexpected good news
coming out calculated to put the mar
ket up, while any unfavorable develop
ment might easily put it down. That
seemed to be the thought in the mind
Of the speculative fraternity today.
Another depressing influence was
the official announcement of the Bal
timore & Ohio stock financing plan.
Baltimore & Ohio sold off sharply and
most of the other active railroad
shares weakened. The fact that Bal
timore & Ohio shareholders receive
valuable rights was overShadoWed by
the large increase in the total stock
outstanding after the new shares have
been distributed. That Baltimore &
Ohio is able to finance by common
stock instead of bonds is really a con-
Structive event, but the market did not
take it that way today.
In the industrial groups, General
Motors set a new high for the pres
ent shares directly at the start. Else
where there was great irregularity.
There were a number of "air holes"
Texas Pacific Land Trust new broke
sharply. Around 80 it was off 10
points from it's recent high. There
was a loss of 2 points between sales
in Collins and Altman.
L. S. Rubber Again Sinks.
Y. S. Rubber had another sinking
spell. The sugars were weak, includ-
ing, this time, South Porto Rico. Com
mercial Solvents 3D." at $40, was off
20 points from the preceding close, but
it regained part of the loss substan-
TALLY.
There were numerous issues to move
against the trend. AS a rule, the
motors held well, the favorites being
Hudson and Mack Trucks. American
Can was strong. u. S. Steel fluctuat-
ed uncertainty all the morning, but
after the untitled tonnage had been
at noon the stock hard
ened. There was no logic in this
inasmuch as orders now stand at the
lowest in many years.

NOT KILL"

Editor, The Washington Times:
0INCE when did the National
- Capital begin to hang or
electrocute boys in their teens?
At least two of the three men
who are to die July are only
boys, and according to the doctor
: who examined him, one Of them
has the mind Of a child.
While the murder was terrible
thing, 1t was not premeditated
but seemed to be done on impulse.
They deserve, and should have
been punished with a long sen.
tence in prison. I have heard a
good many say, but eIectrocution
is a terrible thing for boys.
wonder IL the jurors who con-
victed these boys had sons of
their own. The lads evidently
got into bad company and were
led off as many are. How dis
tressed 6 i for their poor
mothers! Two Of them are widows.
When men are hardened and old
in age and crime hanging is bad,
but for boys hardly more than
children it is deplorable. It may
be mans law, but certainly not
Gods.
"Thou shalt not kill" applies
to the electric chair and the
gallows as well as to guns.
