to give the skilled workmen just and » reasonable wages. “These interruptions will result from the use of insufficient, incompetent and unskilled workmen. "Up to date the skilled workmen have been refused oven a meeting to confer toward bringing about a settle ment.

Bear operators uncovered a stale ' long account in B. 11. T. in the mornmarket in the second hour by a sharp ing. This issue unsettled the whole break which carried it below 45. The pretext for selling was found in the 1 story that the public service commis-

sion will order some heavy expenditures for improvement of the company’s lines. But outlays of this character would servo to build up property so that the weakness in the stock was unquestionably due to its vulnerable tech nical position. As the only listed Rapid Transit stock with an attractive speculative possibility, B. R, T. gained a wide following this spring when traders were seeking to take advantage of improved outlook for public utilities. With little prospect of further aggressiveness on the upside at present, professionals found it easy to induce liquidation by starting reports that an assessment may yet prove necessary to lift the road from receivership. Agreement to limit production in the Toteco district to 155,000 barrels daily was used to depress Mexican Pete, which broke below 160 against its recent high above 200.
