JURY EXCLUDED

. ARGUEPO|NT
AdmissabiIity of Audit Up
For Debate; Arlington
Manager a Witness

Elmer Newell, county auditor,
first Of the so-called "big guns" in
the prosecution of E. Wade Ball,
former Arlington county treas
urer, for alleged misuse Of State
funds, took the stand at Arlington
courthouse shortly before the noon
recess today.
Newell was expected to testify,
prosecuting officials indicated, re-
garding the audit made of Balls
accounts at the time Of his
resignation February 26, 1882.
The jury hearing the case was
excluded while attorneys argued
on the admissability of the audit.
Braden On Stand
Prior to that, County Manager
Roy S. Braden had testified that
default in certain school bond is
sues had prompted the county
commissioners to seek the audit.
He also identified financial state
ments purported to have been
made by Ball.
Prosecuting officials say they
intend to show that Ball5s &C.
counts were short at the time he
made the reports and also at the
time the audit was ordered.
The jury hearing the case was
ordered locked up last night by
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy. 1t
was the first time since 1922 that
a jury has been locked up in Ar
lington county during a trial.
Defense Plea Denied

= Capt. Crandall Mackey to bar AS
csistant Attorney General Collins

WHEAT IS IRREGULAR
IN WEEKS TRADING
Prospect of Large Crop Offsets
Government Efforts to Increase
Price Levels.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 3.-Many wheat
traders regard themselves just now as
between the devil and the deep sea.
Affected on the one hand by inf1a-
ton movements and on the other by
brilliant crop prospects, rapid changes
In price are at present expected to be
Contrasting with governmental efforts
to hoist commodity values, whether
through initiation or otherwise, are re-
ports indicating that the condition of
1888 Spring wheat is the highest in
many years, with plenty of subSoil
moisture and a wonderful outlook
Faced by ample evidence that the
administration at Washington desires
higher prices, wheat this morning
showed rs -234 cents advance, COM
pared to week ago, with corn vary
ing from 7s decline to IA gain; oats,
3s-l2 off, and provisions, II to 80
cents up.
A puzzling circumstance Is that 50
far definite information as to what
measures the Government will take
under the recently enacted farm relief
bill has not been given, and traders
who have looked for announcement to
the effect that Spring wheat acreage
would be reduced through leasing plans
have been disappointed. However. the
next official crop report will not be
issued until June 9, and in some quar-
tiers a belief prevails that before max
ing a move the Government is waiting
to ascertain what is the probable
wheat crop in the Northwest. Mean
while, indications are that there will
be much less feeding Of wheat to live
stock this season, in view of large sup
plies Of corn on hand, with the price Of
wheat now relatively high.

BANK NOTES GAIN
IN TRADE SURVEY
"Genuine Character" of I'M
provement Commented
Upon in Monthly Review.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The National City Bank of New York
in its monthly survey of economic and
financial conditions, finds that busi-
ness upswing, after the banking holiday,
has continued during May "at a very
encouraging pace" and Gin good many
lines where the struggle has been to
keep down the red figures, black ink is
being used again.
While the review finds differences Of
opinion regarding the influence of in
f1at!onary hopes or fears on the appar-
ent recovery, it says that 'the genuine
character of the business Improvement,
as revealed in the rise of production,
the growth of employment, and the evi-
dence of an increased purchasing power,
should be recognized"
Whether the opinion is that the in
f1ationary measures will be invoked, /"
says the survey, cor that natural price
improvement will forestall their use,
either view Is likely to inspire more be-
lief in rising prices than has hereto
fore been felt This belief has led to
the buying which governed the markets
during the past few weeks, and while
the rise may be too rapid to last without
reactions, undoubtedly cross-section Of
business opinion would show a general
confidence that the unceasing decline
of nearly four years has at last come
to an end"
With regard to the administrations
congressional action to void the gold
payment clause of private and public
contracts, the review says:
I'VE do not attempt to discuss the
legal or ethical aspects of the repeal of
these gold contracts; doubtless the con-
of the action will be passed
upon by the courts. 1t is important to
note, however, that the resolution re-
lates solely to the force of the gold
clause in Government and other Sc
curities and does not, as first widely
construed, affect the gold dollar itself
or the gold standard act of 1900"

COTTON PRICES OFF
AFTER RECORD GAIN
Market Shows a Fairly Steady
Tone During Week as De-
mand Improves.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 3-After maki',g
new high ground for the movement and
season, with July selling up to 9.42
and March to 1904 during the middle
of the week, cotton reacted moderately
under realizing and scattered selling.
Offerings were absorbed on reaction
Of about 35 to 40 points from the best
by continued trade and commission
house buying, however, and while later
fluctuations were rather nervous and
irregular, confidence in ultimate values
appeared to be reflected by buying on
the setbacks with the market showing
a fairly steady undertone.
The buying movement evidently found
additional encouragement in Washing
ton advices indicating that plans for
curtailment of the cotton acreage were
under consideration, followed by reports
that a conference between representa-
tives of the cotton trade and admin
istrators of the agricultural adjustment
provisions of the farm relief law was
scheduled for tomorrow at Washington.
Weather and crop advices have been
considered generally favorable and are
said to have increased the disposition
to take profits on long cotton.

INVESTMENT BOND
MARKET IMPROVES
Prices Substantially Higher
for Week, on Large
Trading Volume.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, June 3.-The invest
ment market continued its upward
course this week virtually without in
terruption Technical corrections, If
there were any, occurred without any
visible effect on prices. Volume was
heavy.
The advance in the bond market has
now surpassed the improvement of last
July and August. Bonds today are
slightly above their highs Of January,
or an average of about Is points from
their depression lows Of June, 1882.
This means to investors an apprecia-
ton in the market value Of their hold
ings of something like $4,000, ,000, 900.
Moody's index shows that bonds today
yield about ST per cent on the aver
age against a yield OF about 8.75 In
early June, 1882.
Since this tremendous improvement
is calculated only on bonds listed on
the New York Stock Exchange, the
countrywide advance reaches into far
larger figures.
1t must be remembered that bonds
have advanced in spite OF infiationary
talk and legislation. That is why the
gains in bond prices are convincing
/ -oof that the upturn in business and
in stocks and commodities has not been
based solely on imitation talk.
For the first time since the depres-
sion emphasized the urgency Of keep
ing capital liquid-that Is deposited in
savings bank or boarded in deposit
vaults-the fiow Of money Is the other
way.
Wall Street Is looking for definitely
higher prices for Government bonds.
The trustee of the Postal Savings
Banks was authorized this week to buy
s10O 900, 900 Of Treasury obligations.
In spite of reports from London that
the British exchange control would not
let the pound sterling go to 81, it went
well above that figure at times during
the week.
