BOND PRICES EASE IN TRADING TODAY
Trend Is Irregular in Sympathy
 With Stock Market

New York, Dec. 13 R - Bond prices showed easing tendencies in light early trading today. but the trend generally was irregular. prob- ably in sympathy with the mixed trend of stock prices.
 Anaconda Copper 7's sold down more than points on a small turnover and Bush Terminal Build ing 5's, Pathe Exchange 7's, Phil lips Petroleum 1-4's and numer- ous other issues showed losses of point or more. A few scattered is- sues, such as American Petro- leum 6. Inland Steel 1-2's, Brook lyn Union Gas 1-2's and Wick wire Spencer Steel 7's. made mode rate gains.

SPECULATION LETS UP ON THE MARKET
Wide Fluctuations Continue in
 High Priced SpeGialie

New York. Dec. 13 P-Specula- tion in stocks quieted down consid- erably in today's market, which was featured by the strength of the non- dividend paying railroad stocks. Wide fluctuations continued in some of the high priced industrials and specialties but the general under tone was firm.
 There was change in the credit situation. Call money again renew ed at per cent with funds so plentiful that the rcte was lowered to z 1-2. Additional shipments Of gold from Canada brought the to- s15.OOO,0O0. Many traders showed a disposition to stay out of the market until after the publication of the weekly federal reserve brok- ers' loan statement, which is expect ed to show a substantial reduction in borrowings in view of the sharp reaction in prices last week.
 Revival of speculative activity in the rails was influenced, to some eX- tent, by reports of increasing freight car traffic and the prospect Of div idend assumptions on few issues. Brokers generally do not look for any broad movement in the rail shares until after the St. Louis X O'Fallon decision. involving railroad valuation and the right of the gov ernment to share in excess earnings, is handed down by the United States supreme court. Chicago Great West ern issues advanced to new 1928 high levels. and Chicago X Alton is sues, Erie Common, Western Mary land common and second preferred and Pennsylvania were among the many issues to sell to 1-2 points higher.
 Radio broke 1s points in the ear ly trading but recovered all it's loss by early afternoon. Packard Motors converted an early loss of nearly 6 points into gain of 1. Wright Acronautical. A. M. Byers. Motor Products and several others rallied or more points above their low prices of the morning. One dis quieting development was the drop in General Motors below the low price of last week.

GRAND JURY HITS
 LAWYER IN REPORT
(Continued from First Page)

Tn addition to this the report states that various sums ranging from $13,000 in one check to $500 have been cashed by Egan from this account and not accounted for.
 Found Egan Contradictory
 "Mr. Egan denied, on at least three occasions" says the report, having received this $25,000 from Mrs. Wat kins, stating that to the best of his knowledge and belief this money had been delivered by Mrs. Watkins to Mrs. Tressler and that it was still in Mrs. Tressler's hands, so far as he knew. It was not until the fact ap- peared from other sources on in- vestigation of this grand jury. that Mir. Egan admitted having received this money"
 The grand jury report flatly states that in the opinion of the jury the furnishing of sums of money to an cmissary of Watkins named Barber constitutes aiding a fugitive from justice, and we accordingly recom- mend that the evidence be submitted to the states attorney for such action as he may see fit to take in the premises"
 Investigations by the grand jury have led 1t up against bootlegging activities in Hartford county and in a question to Judge Marvin as to how far the jury should go in this field. Foreman Wells said, ''As I under stand it, we are under no obligation and are not expected to investigate bootlegging matters other than as they are concerned with charges of corruption"
 Judge Marvin's reply was to the effect that the investigation should go to that extent, but he did not think there were limitations of any kind on . grand jury investigation Of crime.
 Money Given for Corrupt Purpose"
 The grand jury reports that 1t has been advised by Watkins and by other parties wholly unrelated to him that large sums of money have from time to time been paid to Mir. Egan ito be used by him for illegal and corrupt purposes and that such witnesses have been ad- vised by Mir. Egan tAat the moneys have been so used"
 The jury reports that the truth or falsity of these allegations could only be esta ablished by a prolonged and thorough investigation and it stated that the sums alleged to have been used and the individuals in- volved are such as to make such an investigation desirable in the public interest.
 AlcOrIl Remains silent
 States Attorney Hugh NJ. Alcorn this afternoon declined to make any statement as to what action he might take as a result of the grand jury report.
 The possibility of the commission of criminal acts by other persons connected with the Watkins case is touched upon by the grand jury re- port with the statement that this phase has been substantially con- pleted and that it is not in the pub lie interest to make further dis closures in this connection at the present time but that the evidence should be submitted to the states attorney for such action as he may deem advisable without further public report"
