 United States government issues held steady, but the only security changing hands to any extent was the fourth liberty I IA, which de- clined slightly and then recovered.

 in volume.
 The sharp decline In prices earlier in> the week apparently had correct ed the markets weakened technical position and relieved the strain on the money market which large scale
 bullish operations invariably entail. The borrowing demand for stocks al- so indicated the existence of a large short position which had been built Up on the theory that the break in Middle Western Utilities would un-
 dermine cvonfidence and that the
 expected increase in the London rate
 would draw funds away from New
 York and accentuate the credit strain here.
 Call money dropped to but time money held firm.

 Found in WethersfeId

 Conditions necessitated changing it to several locations until now it seems fixture in Standish park, which is being constructed.

AGENTS
 HELD FOR BRIBERY

 Tried to Bribe Youth
 Nathan Feltington and Lawrence Sacllman. were arrested yesterday on the charge of Harold Harris 16 year old Associated Press office boy, that they had tried to bribe him to falsify figures posted for publica- ton at the New York clearing house and which are used by gamblers in their so-called humber pool"
 Messengers from New York news papers and news agencies go every day to the clearing house to copy from a slip, posted on a board, the exchanges and balances and tele- phone them to their offices.
 As Harold was leaving the clear ing house Tuesday, two men stopped him and offered him s75 if he would substitute a set of figures they would give him for those he had just copied.
 When Harold refused, they told him the other boys had all been fixed"
 You'll get in wrong anyway , they said, flor your figures won't tally with theirs"
 On his return to the Wall Street Bureau of the Associated Press, the boy reported what had happened. Two detectives and an Associated Press representative were waiting in the offing when Harold came out of the clearing house yesterday As he came out, a man stepped up to him and said
 ''The guy with the money is right across the street,
 The detectives thereupon arrested Feltington and Sackman.
 Harold's figures failed to tally with those of the other messenger, just as had been threatened. The result was that the Associated Press was practically alone Tuesday in sending out the correct figures.
