MONEY MARKET
CAUSES CHIEF
CONCERN
By B. c. FORBES

Nothing has developed to modify
the optimism so generally ex-
pressed at the years opening.
True, stock speculation has lost
some of it's fire, but quotations
average higher than they did at
the peak of 1928, reached on the
last day of the year, notwithstand-
ing that tension in the money
market is still causing concern.
Every influential bull that
know still maintains confidence in
the vigorous resumption of the
upward movement in the near, not
to say immediate, future.
To the unbiased outsider, how
ever, it becomes clearer than ever
that the money market will be
the governing influence.
The recent liquidation brought
only nominal decrease in brok-
ers' loans, a fact which caused
serious disappointment in high
places. The Federal Rerserve
statement showed substantial
gain in reserve ratio, with the
New York banks percentage up
10 points, although the present
81 per cent is fully per cent
under the level of a Year ago.
But the week brought the with
drawal from the available gold
stock of $30,O00,000 through ear
marking" for an unrevealed foreign
interest. This more than offset
gold imports of $23.O00,000 from
Canada.
The net result was that call
money, after having ruled at
6 per cent, closed the week at Z
per cent, sharp contrast with
the 4 per cent rate Of II months
ago. Time loans were held at
~ per cent for all maturities-
against Az to AIS per cent last
January.
Through, Wall Street are run.
ming the most extraordinary whis-
pers. You are pulled aside and
told in great secrecy, that Her.
bert Hoover is to give high finance

flagrantly in industry, in utilities,
etc.
Mr.. Hoover knows that the pub
lie is getting ready to rise up and
revolt and he is prepared to act
promptly" is the tenor of one
warning going the rounds.
Such rumors probably warrant
no attention whatsoever. but they
may account in some measure for
the unmistakable hesitancY dis
played lately in stock speculation.
The writer feels sure that MIR.
Hoover will prove most helpful
and constructive Chief Executives.
The real danger is that too much.
rather than too little, will be ex-
pected of him. After all, the
only dependable help is self-help.

JUDGE DENIES HE
 GOT SHO7 WOUND
Story That PerShinS Hit Lyd0l
 Called False

New York, Oct. UP) - The story that Justice Richard Lydon received a charge of buCkshot from George John Pcrshing during d grouse hunt on Bernard NJ. Ba- ruch's preserve near Glasgow. Scot land, was denied by the justice, who arrived here today on the Majestic.
 Justice LydOn, showing a clear countenancc, declared:
 "rhcre isn't a word of truth in it.. To begin with, the incident was inn possible. We all shot on the same range, and by no twist of the imagination can l conceive how l could be shot by the worst shot in the world, and General Pershing is not that"
 Another passenger on the Majes- tic was Miss Mary Lewis, noted opera singer. She had grown much thinner since her departure for Europe recently. Passengers sug- gested she had lost weight worrying over her pending suit for divorce from her husband, Michael Bohncn.

SLIGHT DECREASE IN BUSINESS SEEN
4 Per Cent Less New England
 Production il August

Boston, Oct. 1 ,Up)-A slowing up in the rate of New England in dustrial activity during recent weeks was reported in the monthly review of the Federal Reserve bank of Bos- ton, issued today.
 Tine report says "Thc index of New England business activity dur ing August W, the highest on rec ord for that month," but adds that it was approximately per cent less than in June and July, and the index for August was the lowest for any month this yr-"."
 According 10 the Review the total value of building contracts awarded in New England in July was higher than for any corresponding month since 1925.
 Cotton consumed in August in New England amounted to about 78 per cent of the average monthly amount during the years 1923, 1924 and 1925.

simplincation of the case has not disentangled it from the economic struggle at Gastonia and throughout the South"
 The position of the nine defend- ants set at liberty and particularly of the men who are native North Carolinians is peculiar. Admittedly Gastonia, which is their home, might prove unhealthy for them at this time. Last night they remained in Charlotte and spent their first eve ming of liberty in nearly four months at q motion picture show. They issued a signed joint statement promising their support to the de- fenSc of the seven men remaining on trial.

 start Jury Selection
 Charlotte, x. C., oct. IT, l'' Mecklenberg county court got oo"" to the uncertain task of Jury S'lec- tion today in the trial of seven Iapor leaders and textile union members accused of second degree murder as an outgrowth of the killing last June of Chief of Police 0. F. Ad'r- holt of Gastonia, during teA''lc strike disorders.
 The task is uncertain because oi the sentiment hcreabouts, W'lirh has aligned most of tn" cltlZenry III one of three classes: Those sylnpa- thctic with the strikers and the defendants; those prejudiced agalhS' them, and those who will avoid II possible having any connection whatsoever with the affair
 Judge Warns Lawyers
 Judgc NJ. V. Barnhill has added still more uncertainty as to what the outcome of the jury chase Will be by an announcement that if the lawyers do not find a jury Tn the first 100 talesmen examined ana persist in their search for the un- knowing and uncaring minority, he will take measures to speed up matters.
 Predictions as to the length of time required for selecting a Jury ranged from two days to two weeks, but Judge Barnhill seemed to con- sider two days as about right and what he thinks is significant.
 Attorneys for the defense issued statements last night hailing as decided victory the action of the state dismissing the charges against nine of the original 1G defendants and reducing the charges against the remaining seven to second de- gree murder but they also warned that it would make the winning of an acquittai for the seven still on trial additionally difficult
 Sees Sinister Plot
 George Maurer, southern repre- sentative of the international labor defense, saw a sinister plot in the whole affair He pointed out that the dismissal of nine defendants and the reduction of the charge reduced the number of percmptory chal- Icnges allowed the defense from 16S to 2S.
 This is another fake gesture of fairness and impartiality," he said, "The prosecution, backed by the mill barons. intend and expect to get hand picked jury which will do the bidding of the capitalistic enemies of the workers
 "The defense has won a great moral as well as a great legal vic tory" said a statement by pr. John Randolph Neal, noted southern lawyer, allied with the defense.
