Record Prices

Quantities of Baldwin Locomotive
stock changed hands, its record
price being POI, a gain of AZ points
for the first hours trading. Later
it dropped back to 1919.
Observers said the activity was a
continuation of the rally which set
in. at the close of the market Mon
day.
On Monday, after the Supreme
Court ruled that it could not at this
time review action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in setting
values on the nations railroads, rail
stock dropped heavily under bear"
raids. Just at the close Of the mar
ket a rally set in and the prices be-
gan going up again. Today's up
ward trend was considered con-
tinuation of that rally.
Rails Again
The railroad stocks which Mon
day had been depressed heavily. all
gained this morning, Wabash selling
as high as 10 Western Maryland up
to 2SH; Reading 1892; and Balti,
more e Ohio 11415.
Total sales for the first hour
amounted to 640,600 shares a ira
ding rate of more than 100000 a
day.
Toward noon prices began settling
back, but trading continued heavy.
The recession was attributed to
profft-taling.

who needed a few spare moments
to reflect over the break in the mar.
ket on the previous day.
Many a trader ruefully gazed over
his sales OF rail shares at severe
losses while a horde of others were
equally appalled, by the high prices
they had paid for shares when the
market turned about after dropping
to the depths following the dis
missal of the Los Angeles Railroad
valuation case by the Supreme
Court.

Too lIasty

Ponderins over the case today,
traders were aware that their dc
cisions to sell had been too hasty.
Even though the case, which had
been heralded as a test. has been
lost. each road still maintains the
right to bring its own valuation up to
the court for individual appraisal.
However. the abrupt drop Of the
market was a danger signal. 1t
showed the weak technical condition
of the railroad group which has
scared to new high levels in the last
few weeks. a drop was due, though
it might not have come for week
or more. That it had been expected
was sounded. out in the brokers
letters which advised caution IN pur,
chases and sales on recessions.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-02-23
Lower Auto Sales

incidentally the market today faces
a stronger technical inderpinning
with most of the rail shares down
several points. Brokers loans are
down another 100000 bringing the
total reduction since Jan. 5 to nearly
S100,000.000. This would indicate
that shares are strongly held and
make for a market strength.
Offsetting this is a factor which
was overlooked in the melee ON Mon
day, namely automobile sales for
January. These were down sharply
from a year ago at 234, 1870. against
272,922 in 1925, Motor shares OF
late have been under pressure. In
the first place price cuts were a
strong factor, earnings of some com.
panies declined, AMI business showed
a falling off.

direction the wind is blowing. Again

subject the Massachu sets company
filed suit against Olsness in the
federal court. asking an injunction to
prevent him from caneclling its
license to do business in the state or
to cite it for hearing before him
at Bismarck. Although it is not a
friendly" suit in the accepted sense
it was filed to test the constitution
ality of the law under which Olspess
threatened to act. the insurance COM
missioner said.
A case of a similar nature was
decided in the federal circuit court
of appeals at St. Louis about q year
ago. In that case the federal tribunal
held that the North Dakota Insur-
ance commissioner had mo authority
to issuue. an. order forbidding the
separation of insurance agencies.
Anticipating an adverse decision on
the case then in controversy, how
ever, the 1925 legislature passed
the present law making it the duty
, OF the insurance commissioner to pro-
| ttct insurance agents in the conduct
Of their business. The federal courts
upheld the contention Of insurance
companies seeking to force agency
separation who held that the order

Tered with their constitutional right
Of making contracts.
Warfare Of Groups Causes Trouble
The question arises. Olsness said,
as the result of struggle between
two groups of insurance companies,
one known rs the Union Group and
the other known As the Western
Bureau group. The war started a

when J.A.O. PreuS, then insurance
truce.
Several years ago the war broke
out again when Union companies
| charged that agents representing both
its members and members Of the
Western Bureau group were favorine
the latter because they received
higher commissions from them. The
result. they said, was that agents
representing both them and their
rivals worked harder to get business
for the bureau companies than they
did to get business for the union
| companies. At present, however, OILS
ness said, the Union companies write
about IS per cent of the fire insur-
ance business in North Dakota.
Agents representing companies in
both groups appealed to the state for
protection on the ground that they
had built up business for all the
firms which they represent and that
withdrawal Of their right to do bust.
ness as agents Of either group would
result in an injustice to them. The
legislature adopted their view and
passed the law for their protection
which now is under fire.
