CHIANG'S ENEMIES
 ISSUE MANIFESTO
Assert Chinese President Has Deserted Sun Yat-Sen'S Ideals

Shanghai, Sept. 26 P}-A stir was caused in political circles today with the distribution of a manifesto at tackins the nationalist government and President Chiang Kai-Shek to , the foreign and Chinese press and the foreign press correspondents.
 The manifesto bore the seal of the Kuomintang or nationalist poli- tical organization and was pre- sumably signed by Wang Ching Wei, radical former chairman of the Kuomintang central executive com mittee, and ten other former mem bers of the central executive com- mittee who were busted with the advent of Chiang Kai-Shell into power.
 The origin of the document, how ever, could not be proven, although persons close to the left wing of the Kuomintang expressed belief that the manifesto was authentic and that possibly it indicated the secret return to China of Wang Ching Wei, who had taken refuge in Europe. Some also believed it was the fore runner of left wing attempt to dislodge Chiang Kai- Shck and to in augurate sweeping changes in the personnel of the nationalist govern ment.
 Alleges Moral Dcscrtion
 The document declares that the nationalist government under the domination of Chiang Kai-Shek has violated the Kuoplintang principles enunciated by Dr. Sun Yat Sen, re- sulting in the "countrys economic destruction and political chaos.' It further says that Chiang kal-Shek had become a dictator, forcing the nation to face the issue o1 "dernocracy versus dictatorship
 The manifesto, which runs for D. GOO words also makes changes of bribery, the embeZzlement of public funds, and the sale of tax monop- olieS.
 It concludes with the declaration that fighting will cease only when Chi1ng kai-ShclI is overthroWn.'

TIGHT CALL MONEY
 HOLDS CURB DOWN
Undercurrent Is Strong But
 Price Advances Are Slight

New York, Sept, 26 tP-Thc curb market developed a fairly steady un- dertone today and a fair amount of discriminating buying made it's ap- pearance.
 The list in general made little hcadway, however and further liqui- dation appeared here and there, causing considerable irreguarity.
 Market sentiment appeared to have been well prepared for the in crease in the Bank of England discount rate, but continued tight money and rather pessimistic com- mission house advices prevented any renewal of strong operations for the advance.
 The leading utilities were in fair demand. Cities Service was turned over in large blocks and rose frac- tion@ly to new high ground. Amcri- can Light and Traction, a rather volatile issue, surged up about 30 points in a small turnover, coming "ItlllH SNl lNlIlS Al9teillCt oL Ato CN- ord level.

FEARS DISTILLED,
 MARKET TURNS UP
Renewed Confidence Replaces / Despair and Prices Rebound

New York, Sept. 26 LP)-The stock market, which was in a state of des- pair bordering on panic yesterday, regained it's poise today when it be- came apparent that there was no foundation for the many wild ru- mors in circulation, and prices ral- lied briskly under heavy buying for both accounts. Extreme gains in the active issues ran from 1 to 10 points, with a few high priced speCialtics marked up 12 to 30 points.
 Some uneasincss developed around midday when heavy selling broke out in the motor stocks prcsuma- bly, in reflection of the decrease in August sale reported by the Cen eral Motors corporation, but this selling caused only momentary in terruption to the general advance. Chrysler broke below 60 10 a new low level for the year and General Motors sold down two points.
 But buying support was quickly supplied. The statement of Walter Chrysler that current motor car sales and earnings warranted high CT prices for automotive securities helped to restore confidence in that group.
 Wall street apparently had been prepared for the increase from + to 615 per cent in the Bank of Eng land discount rate placing it at a premium of F or 1 per cent above the New York federal reserve rate Fears that the higher London rate would result in a heavy withdrawal of foreign balances from New York were set at rest by New York bank CTS, who pointed out that the vol ume of money loaned in the money market by British interest was rela- lively small.
 Call Money at 9 Per Cent
 Call money renewed at 9 per cent with indications that the rate WoulC 1 be maintained all day. Although the peak of the fall commercial demand: | is believed 10 be close at hand i bankers do not look for any marked relaxation in money rates for the | balance of the year, barring a fur ther drastic liquidation in stock prices. In view of the sharp decline in stock prices last week, trader, naturally expect a decrease in fed, eral reserve brokers loans, but tho calling for payment of the large Lehman Corporation issue this Weel may upset earlier estimates.
