BY MAX BUCKINGHAM fIlnifed State Financial Writer

New York, oct 24-(UP) "A late
 move which set h. on the stock
 market today, forced tickers as
 much as minutes behind actual
 floor transactions and shot prices
 upward.
 The late wave of buying came suddenly. A dull, lethargic mar
 ket previously had prevailed with prices sagging downward under lead of the repeal stocks. It was
 unexplained, as the dollar had
 shown continuing weakness. A little buying came in but ac- tivity remained dull. Mining shares
 spurted forward on strength of the government announcing that a new gold price, under President Roose- velt's monetary plan, would be ari-
 nounced before opening of the market tomorrow. Then suddenly came the buying wave.
 Tn a few minutes losses were erased. National distfllers, the weak spot in the general ~list in early trading, spurted almost 10 points wiping out 4-point loss and sub stituting a gain of around 5 points. The whole list became active. Floor operations became more intense. Tickers became clogged with the long strings of orders that reeled out at constantly advancing prices.
 The tape got behind actual tram
 actions even with abbreviated quo tations.
 The forward spurt was as diffi- cult to'~exp.ain as was the earlier recession, save for the fact that
 the dollar continued to decline. Wheat and corn finished lower i'll Chicago with rye higher. Cotton
 maintained somewhat steady tone at gains of between 50 cents land $1 bale.
 Greatest strength had been in the
 mining shares. Such issues as U.
 s. Smelling, American Smeltins,
 Homestake Mcintyre Porcupine,
 Noranda and Dome had shown comfortable advances and towards the close were up from 2 to enore than points and finishing neat their highs.
 National Distillers had a low price of 70 1-4 and towards the
 close had climbed back around SS. U. s. Industriau alcohol ranged
 between a low of around 55 A. up to near 60. American Commercial Alcohol performed likewise.

 ESTATE ON TRIAL
Oscar Merrill Hartzell of England Cleaned Over
 One Million Dollars

Sioux City, la, Oct 24-(UP) - Before Q jury of six small town business men, five farmers and one unemployed, federal prosecutors launched today into their case against Oscar Merrill Hartzell, charged with fraudulent use of malls in promoting the Drake es- tate.
 Special Federal Prosecutor John s. Pratt opened today's proceedings by reading of the 50-page indict- ment which recounted that Hartzeli had collected large sums with the promise that he would return Sl.- 900 for every s1 invested. The in- dictment cited that Hartzell pur- portedly had said the Drake estate was worth several billion dollars.
 Hartzell was indicted on Is counts by a federal grand jury last spring after his deportation from England and arrest in New York. Hartzell had lived abroad for 13 years. carrying on his business through agents. The government charges his collections totaled as high as $2,50O a week and that he has grossed moro than $1,500,000 out of the estate. British author ities say the Drake estate. a sup posed fabulous fortune' left by Sir Francis Drake, does not exist. Hartzell claims to be heir to the fortune.

 The U. s. agriculture department report said:
 Although very little wool is be- ing sold in the Boston market. quotations are showing practically no changes from selling prices of the past several weeks. Small lots move occasionally es buyers come into the market to piece out stocks on hand. Holders of domestic w,ois are not making much effort to lpush sales, but rather are inclined to await developments in the goods markets.

New York, Oct 24 - (U.P) - Money again Is clinking merrily in the New York Amusement markets and new lights flashing nightly along the gay white way are no brighter than the faces of the deal CTS in fun, from show producers to hotel or speakeasy proprietors. A survey of the seasons prospects disclosed to-day that night life Is coming back at full gallop. The town ils apparently sleeping less at night. Some say tho public Is tired of being scared, others that people are feeling the lift of prospective prohibition repeal. Pre-repeal spir- 1t Is not entirely anticipatory, the drink list being offereds and con- suited with greater abandon.
 Tho legitimate theater, for 0 re- cord low for forty years during July and August, when only four shows were running, is reveling in q sudden boom which promises to carry 1t to a record high.
 With seventeen shows playing to good houses, others were scheduled to open at the rate of one night for the next four weeks. Managers and producers who n year age were crying that there were toe many theaters in New York, were wondering where they will house their offerings. Efforts arc being made to reclaim two old legitimatt theaters now in the gaudy trap pings of burlesque. Motion picture receipts were tho first to shoot up ward, and arc reported to bt climbing still.
 The revival has brought do mands for champagne and extrt tables to speakeasies. To twenty eight varieties of Scotch and twen ty-five of champagne one place hal added q special white whisky fo dlabetics,

 'If the shoe factory loan had been allowed to run q year or two, 1t would have been q total loss." the letter continued.
 John Bruce, q Chase vice. -presl- dent. wrote the letter to Joseph Rovensky, another vice. president.
 1t said the Havana branch had been ''runnng in the red" until some months previously when . new manager was installed. The new manager complained that If he left for a vacation Obregon would be in charge ''anb would make all the bad loans over again." Refer ring to the presidents son-in-law. the latter continued:
 AS you know from business standpoint he is perfectly useless. He has neither ability for banking nor for negotiating. The only use Joe has would be certain amount of entertaining the more important customers and for getting new bus mess. I gather he has a very little standing with the president but where the rub comes in Is that II we did not pay him his salary. the president would have to give him an allowance"
 The letter suggests Machado might not be able to support his son -in-law in style and suggests the matter be permitted to go on as it was.
 "The situation is now that Joe is not threatening to resign but Is scared he Is going to be fired. That Is the best way to have him."
 "The loan of Mestre Machado Is now about $45.000 unsecured.' the letter said. We had a propo- sition from them stating they would pay this off if we would loan them $145.0O0 on Cuban internal government bonds at market value without margin. We decided that we would rather take our chances on losing $45.O00 than to put up an additional 100, 900 in unmarker. able securities. so this item re- mains the same"
 "'Who is the Obregon mentioned in this letter?" Pecora asked A. K. Geiger. vice. president of Chase.
 Jose Obregon." said Geiger.
 ''Is that all you know about him ?'
 That's all you asked me" Geiger said.
 Well. can you Identify him any . further?" Pecora pressed. He was President Machado's $ son-in-lay," Geiger said.
