DECLINE ON CURB

Market Rallies in Late After

Recovered.

rial Disnateh to The Star.


NEW YORK, May 21.-A downward
price trend on the Curb Exchange to-
day was checked in midafternoon, and
a rally from the early lows carried
many issues back over their lost ground.
Crocker Wheeler was a late feature,
advancing Is points above its opening
quotation.
Changes in most parts of the list
were extremely erTatic most OF the day.
Electric Bond g. Share, United Gas I'M
provement. Northeastern Power and
Electric Investors, after initial flrmness,
broke sharply to lower prices than on
Monday, but they later rallied substan-
TALLY.
Although aviation stocks gave way
etubbornlv, Fokker and other recent
favorites were off to 2 points. Bendlx
Aviation was in supply for purely teen
meal reasons and was UNAFFECTED 10y
Chicago reports that announcement
would shortly be made of two new I'M
portant acquisitions. Some OF the less
prominent members of the group such
As Aviation Corporation of Delaware
Consolidated Aircraft, Irving Air Chute
and Douglas lost only fractionally.
A feature of the session was the
weakness of Goldman Sachs, Haygart
and ether investment companies, which
are particularly concerned by the gen.
eral decline in view of the nature OF
their holdings In the event of
protracted bear market, these COM
panieS would naturally be seriously al
fected with their actual earnings re-
duced and their unrealiZed profits cut.
Early recoveries in stocks like Grigsby
Grunow, Aluminium Corporation, Alum
mum, Ltd, and Gulf Oil of Pennsyl-
varia we're wiped out entirely when the
list turned downward again. At the
same time. however. support was eX-
tended to specialties like Memphis
Natural Gas, which was helped by re-
ports of an impending recapitalization.
Newmont was the weakest member Of
the mining group.
Railroad stocks which have market
on the curb lost most of the gains which
followed the Supreme Court decision in
the O'Fallon case. Alabama Great
Southern broke 7l2 points. the prefer
red 3, and Pittsburgh g. Lake Erie a
smaller amount.

WHEAT CLOSES LOWER.

CHICAGO, May 81 P1-sharp set
backs in wheat prices during the late
trading today followed announcement
that House and Senate Representatives
had split relative to the export de-
benture plan. Earlier, the wheat mar
ket had developed an upward trend
after downturns at the start. but
toward the last the market suffered
from acute lack of support Contribut-
ing to late weakness was the fact that
export demand from wheat from North
America remained feeble. and that a
burdensome carry-over ahead promised
to be increased soon by accumulations
from the new domestic Winter crop
Wheat closed unsettled "a to 13sa
IL net lower: corn, "a to 15s down:

 Heed Washington's Advice
 Nr. Daniels said the United States did well to heed Washington's and Je6erson's warning against ''en- tansiins alliances" in the early days of the country and in 1913. but that the situation was entirely changed today.
 "In 1s1S.". he said. linen of in. huence stampeded millions into thinking the covenant of peace wis . frankenstein that would make an end of American independence.

 Judge Robert F. Raymond of the superior court refused to stay the sentence pending an appeal by Cam ter to the supreme court. Canter was convicted by . jury which re- turned ! sealed verdict Monday.
 Judge Gives Statement
 T want to say publicly" said Judge Raymond in imposing sen- tence, that it will not be as severe as it would be if | rich and proini- nent man were the defendant. Un- fortunately we don't use language in the same sense. He speaks of the working man and he works eight hours . day or less. I belong to the leisure class and l work IS hours . day or more.
 T wish we might come to an un- derstanding that if we had the right spirit. the two classes ought to get together for better conditions in Massachusetts and America. Of course, that may be talking in the air. I don't want to make his punishment more cruel by express ing sentiments with which he doesn't agree"
 Says Case FAirly Tried
 When Canter said, I'd like to say . few words" Judge Raymond re- piled. your attorney has tried your case well and fairly"
 The court expressed appreciation of the gentlemanly way" in which Harry Hoffman and Arthur Garfield Hays conducted the case for the defense.
