MARKETS HOLD
GAINS MADE IN
EARLIER PERIOD
Commodity Price Average in
Wholesale Field Con-
tinueS Rise.

tmCH NpcciGi
NEW YORK Nov 30.-Gains Of
the previous few weeks IN wholesale
commodity markets was maintained
during the last week, with the gen.
eral average at the close slightly
higher than week ago, according
to a Dun & BradStreet report today.
Advances and declines in he
major staples we're rather evenly o.
vided, with net price changes in
most cases small. Wheat contin-
ued to rise, while corn weakened.
Cotton advanced slightly but silk
was sharply lower.
The Dun & Bradstreet daily COM
modify index held firmly through
out the week, closing at 12251 on
Nov. 25. compared with 12219 a
week earlier. The latest figure
showed a small drop from a month
ago but comparison with the 1925
index at the same time last year
reveals rise of 3..6 per cent.
Corn Closes Lower
The Strengthening factors in The
domestic wheat markets were the
Improvement in European demand
ana the uncertainty of new crop
prospects in Argentina. Corn closed
lower as offerings increased, with
no corresponding increase in de-
mand. Dairy products weakened
but meats and livestock we're higher
steers and lambs reaching new
highs. Coffee and raw sugar fin
ished unchanged from previous quo
tations.
The ferrous metals displayed
only moderate activity. Copper
zinc and lead prices remained
steady, with stocks of the latter
metal reported slightly higher at
the end of October.
With trading restricted, tin de-
clined IL cents, bringing the clos
ing quotation to SOS cents. Rubber
ruled firm throughout the week at
close to the 13-cent level, consump-
ton for October being reported at
the highest on record for that
month.
Wool Quotations High
Although stocks of nearly all
kinds of finished cotton goods have
been reduced and no lifting of opcr-
ating schedules at mills is indicated,
prices in most divisions were an
change for the week. A few adj
vances were reported on some of the
cotton gray goods, and quotations
on several types of finished cloths
were raised.
High quotations for all grades of
wool have slowed down purchasing
somewhat, although a fairly large
volume changed hands during the
week. Prices continued strong, with
the average of the 25 domestic wool
quotations unchanged for the third
successive week at 1854 cents a
pound.
Most of the mills have covered
fairly we'll on their requirements,
but consumption continues steady
and in large volume. Stocks of raw
wool in the hands of growers and
dealers is comparatively small

Low prices, big values. coupled
with liberal advertising, make sales.
That is one reason why sales of cleo
trio refrigerators have increased so
rapidly. The number of electric re-
frigerators sold in 1884 was AZ per
cent ahead of 1893 sales, while in the
first nine months of this year sales
gained Is per cent over the CORE

Changes in locomotives and cars,
as we'll as in tracks, signaling,
operating methods and employees
training and work, are essential in
order to enable the railways to re-
build their passenger traffic, the
magazine says.
Traffic Gains in 1934-35
Passenger traffic and earnings
increased in 1884 when there was a
Century of Progress exposition, and
again in 1885 when there was no
such favorable influence. General
business has improved, but it was
improving from 1923 to 1929 when
railway passenger business was
steadily declining.
THE evidence indicates that the
recent increases have been due to
efforts of various kinds made by the
railways Observation-Disclosures OF
improved or new kinds of power and
cars, increases in speeds, better
showmanship, advertising and SELL
ing, reduction of rates.
Reorientation Is Vital
'It is almost like starting a new
business. They have the advantage
of building on an old and strong
foundation. They have the disad-
vantage of having gradually to tear
away a superstructure of old IA
cilities, methods and traditions while
erecting a new superstructure.
ct was just when the railroads
had reached their highest develop
ment to accomplish the three pur-
poses of Cd rendering adequate and
reliable service with CD maximum
economy and 90 maximum safety
that there appeared outside compe-
tition which has made it neces-
sary to reorient their policy.
How much speed by rail does the
public want? With what kinds of
equipment can it be attained with
maximum comfort and minimum
cost?

Highlights of the
News During This
Week.
BY FREDERICK MATSO,
Times Financial Writer

ne SECURITIES ana EXCHANGE
- Commission filed suit in Fed
eral District Court at New York
Tuesday against the Electric Bond
and Share Co and five Of its in
termediate holding companies ask
ing for an order directino the COM
panies to register with the COM
mission under the 1885 public utili-
ties act.
This marks the third time in the
last few years that the Federal
government and Electric Bond
the second largest holding company
in the cOuntry-have tangled in
the courts, the government having
been victorious in each previous
fight.
The action fulfilled the SECS
promise last week that it would
take civil action again a represen-
tative holding firm TO test its au-
thority in the courts.
Meanwhile, there has been a mad
scramble by utilities to file suits
attacking the holding company act
before the registration deadline eX-
pires at midnight tonight. Note:
To the short list of companies
which have actually registered has
been added the Indiana South
western Gas and Electric Corp
HEARS that France was about to
i 90 of the gold standard and
precipitate another international
currency depreciation race were
at least temporarily dispelled with
the vote of confidence given Premier
Laval's characterization cabinet by
the Chamber of Deputies. M. Laval
won his battle in an attempt to
force acceptance of his decree
laws for the defense of the franc
as the chamber convened after a
five-month recess.
Still present, however. is the dan
ger that the chamber might upset
the budgets balance by failing to
ratify deflationary DEGREES, thus
shaking investors confidence.
In Rome, hundreds of persons
formed a queue before the doors of
the Bank of Italy to sell jeWelry
and other gold to the government
at the new price of 49, lire a gram,
which represents a premium OF 20
per cent over the former gold price.
The bank announced it would
pay DAP IS lire for $40 United States
gold pieces of the weight coined
before deValuation of the American
dollar. This compares with the eX-
change rate of 1913 lire for each $40
of present value United States Cur
lency.
OF particular interest to citizens
~ of this state is the reorganiza-
ton of the Middle West Utilities
Co, giant holding company of the
insult empire. The end of more
than three years of litigation came
this week as Federal Judge James
H. Wilkorson of Chicago approved
the settlement plan, changing the
name to Middle West Corp.
Under the plan 100000 shares
of stock in the new corporation will
be assigned to creditors. Banks
and other secured creditors will re-
ceive 1,17o000 shares with the re-
mainder going to holders of the
$40.000000 outstanding notes Of the
company and the unsecured cred
itors
The Middle West Utilities was the
Keystone of insult empire, organ
lied in 1912 and growing by pur-
chaSoS in this country and Canada
until gross revenues reached $179,-
100000 in 1880 The local operat-
ing affiliate is the Public Service

PENNINGTON, N. j., January 28-
When a juryman is seized with a sud-
den disability, as occurred to Juror
No. IL over the week end, when he
was taken with mild heart attack,
we are brought to the startling realiza-
ton that a couple of germs, attach
ing themselves to a juror, might cost
as high as 100000 in the State Of
New Jersey.
We may speculate about their men,
tai qualifications, we may wonder
what sort of people they really are,
removed from the jury box; we may
even hear Justice Trenchard caution
them to wear galoshes and to guard
their health during this ordeal, but I
do not think that many Of us have
realized the full importance Of the
physical well-being Of this jury.
Possibilities Viewed.
Last week our heavyweight female
juror, Verna Snyder, might have over
INDUCED in her favorite menu Of
oyster cocktail. soup, roast beef, po-
tatoes, vegetables, sirup and waffles,
salad, sunnyside pie, ice cream, coffee
and cake (Which for her is a normal
meaD and been seized with acute in
digestion and many of us would have
thought 1t simply a timely new item.
Last week Howard v. Biggs, juror No.
IL, might have slipped on the ice and
broken q leg. and with peculiar lack
of imagination we might have con-
Sidered 1t merely bit of local color.
It would have seemed inconceivable
that a mistrial could result from an
apparently trivial misadventure.
Now Mr.. Liscom Case has heart
attack and suddenly and surprisingly
we share 1t with him. The health of
Mr.. Case, which hitherto would have
been of importance only to a small
circle Of friends, becomes a matter of
momentous concern to us all. We
suddenly see the dazzling significance
of this much-discussed but undefin-
able Jury. not as e side show, not as
the IL human beings who will ulti-
mately determine whether a man
shall live or die, but as IL compli-
Gated organisms compounded Of vul-
neraDle ueSn ana DloOQ, 10 which
flesh and blood any casualty ceases
to be petty accident and becomes
a national disaster.
At the National Conference on
Crime held in Washington last De-
cember 1t was urged that the sys-
tenn Of having alternate jurors be
adopted throughout the entire United
States. AS a result of that conference,
the newly-elected Governor of New
Jersey. Harold G. Hoffman, who seems
to have progressive ideas, has called
State conference on crime to be
held in Trenton March / and 2. AS
an outgrowth of the Washington
meeting it is highly probable Gov.
Hoffman will advocate the adoption
by New Jersey of the alternate juror
system.

Argument for Alternate Juror
Plan Seen in Hauptndnn Case
Heart attack Seising One Member of
Panel ArOuses Fear of MistriaI and
Huge Ne,o Expense.

Theatrical impresarios are wise
enough to provide an understudy for
even the most brilliant and reliable
star; If John Barrymore caught a
cold or Lynn Fontanne were tempo
rarily indisposed, some one would be
in the wings to take his or her place.
New York has recognized the value
Of such potential substitutes and has
legislated accordingly. Two alternate
Jury men or women are subject TO
the responsibilities and the limitations
Of the original II jurors, chosen dis
criminatingly by counsel for both
State and defense. They listen, they
Judge, they watch with fascinating
interest the amazing array of evidence,
Photographic and otherwise, and, If
they were in Pennington, they would
march Just as automatically as their
IL leaders from the court house to
the Union Hotel.
It might be that they would never
be called upon to pass Judgment in
this case: 1t might be that their incar-
ceration should turn out to be utterly
futile, but, given the possibility of an
accident to Jurors / to IL, inclusive,
these two benched players, the cost
Of whom to the State would be SO
a day and board for each. would by
their mere physical presence, save
that same State some $50,000, which
Is the estimated cost of retrial.
In other words, if certain juror,
Rosie Pill, for example, breaks a leg,
a new jury would have to be called,
every witness who has testified would
have to be recalled, every expense Of
maintenance or transportation or fee
simple would have to be repeated, and
save for the cost of the exhibits, pho
tographic and otherwise, which would
be admitted, the whole process would
start over again from scratch.
New Trial More Difficult.
Aside from these material considera-
tions, the psychological effects of a
mistrial would be far-reaching. The
guiding principles of the entire case
would be profoundly altered, conviction
would be more difficult to obtain, the
very foundations of this case, firmly
established though they seem, would
shift to an incredible and unpre-
dictable angle.
So when Justice Trenchard, who
seems to be beloved and admired by
all in this court room, proffers cough
drops and advice to the jury, I shall
no longer consider 1t merely a kindly
and humane thought. I shall know
that for all his innate benevolence. he
has known long before the rest Of us
the vital significance of maintaining
this jury intact. I shall understand
more fully why he has never in his
distinguished career had a mistrial
while he was on the bench, and shall
with heartfelt fervor silently enjoin
upon Biggs and Pill and Snyder and
the nine other jurors to wear their
rubbers, make free use of the best
available nose drops and at all times
TO observe complete confluence.
