Gold Clause Ruling Seen Saturday.
Stock EXCHANGE to Check Wild Markets
Transactions May Be Held
Up to Bar DemoraIi-
cation.
By United Press

BY CHtted Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The Board
of Governors Of the New York
Stock Exchange, only Exchange
group with power to close the Ex-
change, is averse to shutting down
the market before, during, after the
United States Supreme Court issues
its gold clause decision, it was
learned authoritatively today.
The Governors, it was learned,
have held a special meeting and
discussed every possible contingency
that might arise from the decision.
In addition, it is known that Of
ficials of the Exchange have gone
over the whole matter with men,
bers of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The latter, with the
approval of the President of the
United States, has power to close
any registered securities exchange
for a period not exceeding go days,
While the governors are averse
to closing, they will watch carefully
all transactions when the decision
is announced and stand ready to
close the Exchange if necessary.
Other exchanges r similarly
prepared. The Chicago Board OF
Trade has empowered its president
to close if necessary. The Chicago
Mercantile Exchange and the New
York Coffee and Sugar Exchanges
have taken similar action.
1t is believed the New York Curb
Exchange, and other stock and COM
modify markets in New York would
follow the lead of the New York
Stock Exchange.

Afternoon Decision Seen as
Cushion to Domestic
Trading.
Copyright. 1885. BY United Press
WASHINGTON Feb "A gov.

Copyright. 1885. bY United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. GA gov
eminent official close to the Admin
istration's monetary program SAID
today the Supreme Court may hand
down it's opinion in the gold clause
cases Saturday afternoon. He based
his belief on the contention that
should the decision be rendered
then, the domestic markets would
have all Of Sunday to digest the
ruling.
Market considerations, he SAID,
would work against a decision next
Monday as that is the " of Lin
coins birthday. Domestic markets
are all closed while foreign markets
are open.
A Monday decision therefore
would give foreign traders on open
markets an opportunity to profit
by the informations while domestic
traders would be severely handi-
capped.
Court Considers Markets
Indications that the court may
be taking market trading into con-
sideration in timing its opinion are
regarded by the Administration as
the most disturbing factor about
the courts deliberations. Those
close to the Administration note
that, if the decision is favorable,
little need be feared from the spec
ulative response. On the contrary,
there would be an emphatic reac-
ton from the depressing affect the
consideration of the case by the
tribunal has had on stock and COM
modify markets.
The action of the court Saturday
when it broke all precedent to say
that it would not decide the gold
case at Mondays session was re-
garded as an acknowledgment of
market interest, yer though Chief
Justice Hughes said the step was
taken to prevent crowding of the
courtroom.
While going contrary to prac-
tice would be unusual, the gold case
presents an unprecedented situation.
Never before has a case Of such
magnitude been pending at a time
when the markets of the world are
within moments from the courtroom
as far as the transmission of the
news is concerned. Never have IA
%cilities for handling the courts
opinions been so strained to hair
breadth timing.
Has Too Much Gold
While worrying on the m hand
over the possibility Of losing some
of the value of it's gold, the gov
eminent also is in the strange posi-
ton of worrying about having too
much gold.
Record-breaking absorption of the
worlds monetary gold stocks by the
government since it started pay
ing S35 an ounce for the metal was
reported as giving officials grave
concern. They fear adverse effects
on world trade and %currencies be-
cause of the accumulation.
On Feb. l the Treasury's gold
holdings showed a record value of
9,405. 1862, 1873, a gain of $685.
1898 from a year ago when the
$35 offer first was made.

HOGS EVEN TO
Is CENTS OFF
Cattle, VeaIerS Active and
Strong; Lambs Mostly
UNCHANGED.

A two-way trading range devel-
oped in the hog market at the In
dianapolis Union Stockyards today
and prices on weights from 100
pounds upward remained unchanged,
while others were sharply Is cents
lower than yesterdays average.
The market declined despite an
extremely light run of supplies on
hand which were estimated at only
1000, compared with 5000 in the
previous session. This was attributed
largely by officials to a heavy run
of receipts at surrounding livestock
centerS.
Initial trading developed slow with
a weak demand prevailing on all
classes. The bulk, 100 to 275 pounds,
brought $8.15 to 1925, while heaviest
kinds, ranging from 275 pounds up
ward, cashed in at $3.50 TO $40.
Lightweights, from 100 to $50
pounds, sold at $5.25 to $6.25. Coco
packing sows held at $6.75 to $7.50.
Holdovers numbered 808.
The general trade in the cattle
market was active and strong to
largely Is cents higher than yes
terday's best prices. Early bulk of
steers sold at Sc to $40, while bet
ter kinds held above $11. Good and
choice heifers were valued at 10.
Cows ranged from $3.75 to 81. Re-
ceiptS were 300.
Initial dealings continued un-
changed in veals and the majority
of prices were strong at $3.50 down.
Receipts we're 400. No change of
Importance was shown in LAMBS and
most all kinds were stationary. Bulk
of better kinds sold at $8.75 down,
while few natives brought SO.
Throwouts cashed in at $3.50 to
$3.50. Receipts were 1000.

until parity between price levels has

letter.
The letter pointed out that the
most reasonable means of maintain

mating the recent changes in the

One Of the most important factors
contributing to delayed recovery,

litical unrest in Europe" is the
deepening depression in the gold
bloc countries and the price levels
in the United States and the coun-
tries which have abandoned the
