BROKER IS GLOOMY
WITHOUT PROFITS
One Firm Sells IS Shares
in Day-Banker Also
Badly Puzzled.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. March 16-When a
New York Stock Exchange seat sold
at $4,000 Wednesday, a member of
brokerage house turned to this
department and asked:
What is the outlook for a broker
age firm with three seats, each costing
S450,000? We did exactly Is shares
of Stock Exchange business one day
last week. On the following day We
handled not one share on the eX-
change"
The question was put to leading
banker, who made this comment: q:
You have your broker friend answer
my question and I'll answer his
query. How can a bank these days,
as one radio speaker asserts, earn so
per cent profits on deposits? If you
can show me how to make 60 per cent
profits on my deposits, will pay you
40 per cent for every dollar of deposits
you bring in.
II bank receives deposits of 81 900,
it cannot, as some assert, lend 10
times that amount or $4,000 and
receive interest of $500. or go per
cent, because a bank knows it must
keep reserve of at least 10 per cent
against deposits and it also realizes
the average borrower will check out
about 80 per cent of his loan. Sow
can I earn so per cent on deposits
and keep my bank solvent?"
Staggering under the weight of
these problems, this department
bumped into an old friend who hap
pens to be in the public utility busi-
ness. All the utility magnate wanted
to know was:
How can prevent the shareholders,
whose dividend has been omitted,
from writing to their Representatives
and Senators? How can I explain to
them that the Federal Government is
not a holding company? How can I
make them realize that the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. is not a
holding company? How can tell
them that the Government has not
been flooding the country with T. v. A
propaganda? How CAN"
How can you do what, Bill?" in
terrupted a lawyer specializing in
constitutional law. When matters
we're explained to him. he cited his own
troubles. He is busy trying to explain
to his corporation clients that they
must use a better argument in con-
testing pending legislation than article
l of the Constitution, which prohibits
Congress from "abridging the free
dom of speech or of the press; or the
right of the people to petition
the Government for a redress of
grievances"

RYE LEADS DROP
IN GRAIN PRICES
Says Much Further Than
Other Staples to About
1884 Low Levels.
BY JOHN p. BOUGHAN,

CHICAGO, March l6.-As premier
eymnast of the grain trade, rye just
at present has the spotlight. and to
a considerable extent has stolen the
show
With all grains sharply down in
price to around the lowest levels OF
the current season, rye has dropped
much further to about the inside
figures of 1884. Trade experts say
extra liberal imports of Polish and
Argentine rye are mainly the reason,
together with belief the United States
may have a big carry-over rye sur
plus this year.
Compared with one week back, and
bearishly affecting other grains, the
rye market this morning was 47s-6i4
cents a bushel lower, with wheat IS
35s down, corn 2a4 -3ls off, oats at
214 -27s decline, and provisions show
ing so to 81 cents setback.
Imports Maintain Supply.
Closing Of spread trades that in
volved persistent sales of rye have
plunged all deliveries of that grain
down to below so cents a bushel at
times. AS a result, rye futures now
represent a price of less than cent
pound. This is decidedly cheaper
than other grains. Nevertheless, pre-
dictions are heard that May rye will
vet sell 40 cents under May wheat.
Owing to persistent imports of rye
into the United States, the domestic
rye visible supply has decreased at
only slow rate. On the other hand,
likelihood is pointed out that the do
mestic new crop of rye may prove to
be well in excess of the extremely
small production which has distin-
guished the last two years. So far,
however, prospects for the United
States new rye crop are by no means
definite, as a good part of the acreage
lies northwest, where the planted rye
is still in a dormant condition.
Wheat Margin Narrowed.
A feature of wheat trade is narrow
July and September contracts. This Is
regarded as due mainly to a favorable
outlook for the soft wheat crop east of
the Mississippi, a region which fur
nishes the bulk of the wheat that
moves to Chicago.
Corn and oats reflect estimates that
corn from Argentina could be laid
down in Chicago, duty paid, cents
over Chicago May.
Provisions are sharply lower, in
fluenced at least in part by weakness
of the corn market and of cottonseed
oil.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
|. AT WEEKS CLOSE
Close With Small Gains and
Losses After Rise Early
in Session.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, March 16.-The stock
market lacked the stamina to continue
its recovery today and closed with
mixed gains and losses, mostly narrow.
The list perked up a little in the
early trading, helped by a firm wheat
market, but soon turned irregular.
American Telephone was heavy from
the start and mining issues we're de-
pressed by uncertainties surrounding
the gold bloc conference to convene
in Brussels Monday. Transfers for
the tWo-hour session we're only about
$50 900 shares.
Firm spots included American
Sugar, rallying point, evidently re-
flecting short repurchases after it's
sag early in the week in response to
its earnings report. Columbian Carbon
pushed up more than point, coinci-
dent with Wall Street ticker report
that its gross sales in the first two
months Of the year exceeded 1884
by 80 per cent.

United States Smelling. Allied
Chemical and Case lost about as
much and shares off a point or so
included Eastman, Air Reduction,
Howe Sound, Liggett 6; Myers B and
few others. Steels dipped fraction
ally. On the whole, motors, electrical
equipments, electric power issues and
rails held about steady. although the
carriers failed to follow the rise in
their Second-grade bonds.
The bond market was generally
firm, but commodities turned rather
heavy. Grains lost their gains toward
midday and dipped under yesterdays
final prices. Cotton was again de-
pressed. Foreign exchanges were quiet
for the most part. but further Specu-
lative selling of the Belgian currency
in advance of the Brussels conference
was in evidence. both in London and
New York.

pulled out of the car, the ropes re-
moved from his legs, and he was
pulled along for several hundred feet.
There was strong wind whipping
about his body now. and he judged
that they were up in the hills north
of Frisco or in Frisco itself. Several
hands searched his person, and he
felt them remove his watch and his
wallet ald topcoat. So 1t was plain
robbery, then! The questing hands
had not detected the presence of the
money belt pressed closely to his body.
Jordan almost laughed to himself, even
in his precarious predicament.
"All right, men!" The voice he
recognized as belonging to the driver.
The binding gag was removed from
his mouth. Pick him up. Ready,
Dan?" He was lifted by two of the
men and carried several feet, and as
he heard the driver say 20. K" he
was flung outward and felt himself
falling through space.
A MOMENT later he fell with a
loud splash into water and sank
down. down. Desperately his feet
churned the water as he struggled
with the ropes at his wrists, and al
most as his breath was exhausted his
head broke water and he gulped in
great lungfuls of air as he treaded
water Almost at once he felt
splashing near him; he was encircled
by strong arm and pulled through
the water. Overhead somewhere he
heard sounds of uncontrolled mirth.
He was dragged ashore and pulled
to his feet. Some one turned him
around and worked at the knot In the
blindfold; as it fell away he discovered
himself standing on the brink Of one
of the reservoirs of the water works!
Whirling about he saw the same
four men who had abducted him,
their masks off and one of them in a
dripping swimming suit They were
all young fellows. At the first word
he spoke there was medley Of aston
ished gaSpS and a flashlight was
played upon his features.
We've got the wrong mani" one
of them shouted in dismay. Cries Of
apology filled the air Jordan looked
from one to another in bewilderment.
The young man in the swimming
suit explained: 6. and the presi-

shoulders farther into his tweed top

himself that the money belt contain

still secure.
He stopped IN front Of one of the

LIE FELT small qualms about the
valuables which he had concealed

now was awaiting him in the rear
of his shop somewhere along here,

for smuggled stones from Amsterdam
Jordan laughed to himself at the
thought.
Suddenly he was aware that he
was not alone. Out of the corner of
his eye he noted the silhouettes of
four men as they converged upon him
from the outer haze. There was a
short Scuff1e, silent and deadly, and
then a blindfold was swiftly drawn be-
fore his eyes and his hand and feet
tied with ropes.
IN THE few seconds duration of
his unavailing resistance he had
learned that they were all young judg-
ing by their agile strength; that each
wore a black half mask over his face
and that all were well dressed. In
stantly his mind leaped ahead to
solution of this unexpected turn of
events.
Were they hijackers? Possibly! G
men? Not very probable. Or were
they other SmugglerS tipped off by
Tai Tung? His thoughts whirled
swiftly as he attempted to puzzle it
out.
Jordan was picked up and carried
a short distance and bundled into the
rear seat Of waiting car between
two of his abductors, and the car
started slowly off. Jordan attempted
to determine which direction they
were heading by the turns they made
as the machine threaded its way
through the city.
He fell to trying to distinguish the
conversation which was being carried
on in low rumble by the driver and
his companion in the front seat, but
