NEW YORK. July l4.--The move

today was typical of week end market.
The volume of business continued light
and there were intervals when trading
came almost TO a StandStili,
One fact stood out clearly. That was
that speculative Wall Street had tenn
poraily discounted the reserve bank
rate advance. II turned its attention
today TO the technical position of the
market itself and prospective develop
mentS in outside industry. In the late
trading yesterday. funds for stock pur
poses flowed back freely into specula-
tive channels and there was reason
TO believe that cause for uueaSinesS
over the credit situation had been dis
sipated. for the time being al least,
Nevertheless there was no rush 10 buy
stocks. but more of disposition 10
await developments in the business sit
uation.
Interest centered in A few speculative
industrialS. One was Atlantic Refining,
which was bid up 10 practically IFS

was coincident with rumored sale to

HOME Of TRAGEDY
AND LOVE SEIZED
Frank Lloyd Wright's "Per-
feet" Residence Sold to
Satisfy Mortgage.
By the Associated Press.

BY III, Associated Press.
SPRING GREEN. Wis. July 31.-
Frank Wright's Home Of the Hill was
out of the famous architects hands
today.
Taliesen. the picturesque, rambling
villa. overlooking the Wisconsin River
Valley, saw its owner in architectural
achievement, unconventional love al
fairs and tragedy during the years 1t
was Wright's proud possession.
Yesterday. with its owner in California
and no representative of his on the
grounds. it was sold to the Bank Of
Wisconsin. Madison. from the auction
/ block. The bank bid $4,000 for the
| property on which it had loaned Wright
| S37 900. 1t was sold to satisfy mort
| gage.
Conception of Perfect Home.
| The architect built Taliesen, or Hill
| side. as it was also known. as his con-
| ception of perfect home more than IS
| years ago. 1t was valued at several
| hundred thousand dollars at the time
1t was constructed and occupied land
| which his father and grandfather had
| farmed before him.
! The sale which more than a hun
/ dred curious business men, farmers and
/ tourists watched. was the latest chap
| ter in the financial troubles of the ar
| chitect. A short time ago some Of
| the valuable furnishings were sold in
similar manner under the hammer.
! Wright placed the blame for his
series of reverses on his divorced wife.
! Miriam Noel Wright.
| Tragedy first entered his life when a
| crazed butler. in 1914, killed Mrs.
Mammah Bortwick Cheney, Oak Park,
Ill: her two children. three other per-
sons and burned the place. Mrs Cheney
and her children had come to live with
| the architect after their return from
the Orient.
A new and more pretentious homo
was erected on the site and to this came
Miriam Noel. a Paris divorce. She
came to comfort him. but remained as
his wife. Shortly they we're separated
/ In 1925 Taliesen burned to the
ground Wright rebuilt it. To the new
villa he brought Olga Milanov. Monte
negrin dancer. Later the architect went
to California.
/ May Get Home Back.
i His divorced wife followed him West
and after destroying some of his homo
! furnishings sought to prosecute him
for having lived with the dancer.
There were attorneys and business
men at the sale yesterday who predicted
that the sale of Taliesen to the bank
might give Wright a chance TO regain
his estate If he so desired. They said
his indebtedness to the bank amounted
20 something over $4,000 and that the
sale price would satisfy most Of the
liens against Wright. and that he
might, by paying his debt to the bank
regain his hill-topped home.
