Bauer, the de- fense planned to complete its case today. Judge Cornelius J. Harring- ton ruled last night that eight de- fense witnesses could not appear before the jury. The witnesses, rel atives and friends of zenge, were prepared to picture insanity in the family through three generations.

NEW YORK, May 23-Scattered
specialties continued to push ahead
in the stock market today. Profit
taking in a number Of issues, however,
gave the list somewhat ragged ap-
pearance. The close was a little ir-
regular. Transfers approximated
1925 900 shares.
Few in Wall Street doubted that the
Senate would uphold the President in
his disapproval of the Patman fat
money bonus bill. At the same time
it was realized that imitation could
arrive by some other route and the
majority of spectators were not in
clined to bet either way.
Sterling, strong in early exchange
dealings as a reflection of yesterdays
apparently inflationary vote in the
House of Representatives overriding
the Chief Executives veto, turned
back in the afternoon. The gold
monies were quiet. Grains were
rather firm, while cotton was unable
to progress. Bonds were quiet and
mixed.
A gain last week of ia per cent
in bank clearings over the correspond
ing period of 1884 indicated to many
that recovery was beginning to take
hold in earnest.
The oil shares were among the
liveliest, the majority showing ad-
vances during the greater part of the
session. Sugar issues such as Great
Western, American Crystal and Cuban
American were also in demand at
gains of fractions TO around point.
There was large turnover of Muir
ray Corp. at gain of about point.

Universal Leaf Tobacco was 2-point
gamer. Others. up fractionally to a
point or so, were Corn Products,

direction. Liggett g. Myers B. lost
