March 21.—South Australia seeks a market for its white opals—very beautiful gem stones of a i kind peculiar to that part of tiie world.

Accordingly, the producers are going to put their white opals on tho market under another name. They will be called “iridota,” after the Greek word for rainbow.

are concerned as Clarence Saunders, president of the company, had bought the stock Off the exchange, for the purpose of giving it wide distribution throughout the nation and yesterday's episode, was described as merely the result of “squeezing" short interests that had attempted to bear the stock and depress its value. The local sale of stock as previously announced will be concluded at the close of today's business, the brokers stated.

The Piggly-Wiggly drive was caused by the efforts of Clarence Saunders, president of the company, which operates chain self-serve groceries, to "beat Wall Street at its own game.” Saunders has stores all over the country. Concern Facts Last November a concern bearing the Piggly-Wiggly name, but having no connection with Saunders' organization went into the iiands >.f the receiver in the East. Wall St. traders thereupon seized the opportunity to soil the stock short. They hammered the price from SSO a share to less I than S4O. Saunders thereupon entered the arena. He has heavy financial backing and is !.<•:.• ved to have purchased 50,000 sh.u. s in the open market, driving ; the price from S4O to sß© at the expense of the professional traders who i were playing the short end. Saunders decided to punish the gamblers and he hired Jesse Liverinnn to do the job. Livermore is Wail St!;et’s biggest operator and the way he carried our. the Piggly Wiggly i corner a.’, It-.I another to the long slrinc of mipl.-bments of the one time ' Roy plunger.” Saunders ha ordered Livermore to top opergt:ons in Piggly Wiggly on Saunders account, it is reported. Stock Sky-roc.' ets The stock sky rocketed fifty-two points in one day. then re-acted again, a: closed last night at <-ighty-two. Tiie stock which S.unders purchased in tl.e open market he offered for sale to Jr divtdual.s throughout the conn try at a share on the time payment plan.

Con ns were “just right” for the ' corner, tbe stock, after it wan entered on the exchange at $47 last May, seemed w. ak and a number of brokers soil "short” in .anticipation of a speedy d'op w hen tln-\ could buy back , with profit. Subsidiaries Fail Failure of subsidiary concerns I caused the stock to take the expected tumble. Further short sales folowed. ! Then .Saunders called the board to I gether to float another big issue of ; Piggly Wiggly. This caused still more short sales. But the hoard refused to weaken | its old stock by floating new, so the climb began. Further, president is mnders came to New York recently I with millions.in gold to buy up outstanding shares and force the bears ‘out of cover. He succeeded in getting 50,000 shares, which he offered to the public at $55 a share on the installj merit plan. j Tlii brought a leap to more than j S7O on the exchange last week, and i tbe exchange committee, suspecting a ! holding pool, called for a report from all brokers holding Piggly Wiggly. Around noon yesterday the order I came for Livermore to suspend operations on Saunders' account. He had | JS.OtiO shares here and 4,000 in Chicago. Then Saunders called delivery.

Encouraged by the ruling of Judge Hartwell which eliminated from consideration by the jury the testimony of three of the prosecution's eight witnesses.

The testimony excluded was that of three farmers who told of the shooting on the Lester truck, which was bringing non-union workers from Carbondale. 111., to the mine on tiie morning ”f June 21. Holding that this evidence was too remote to be considered in connection with the killing of Antonio Molkovich, who was murdered during the massacre the following day, Judge Hart well ordered The testimony stricken from the record. , Counsel for defense next objected to testimony of Miss Lillian M:tehel!. stenographer, who declared she was employed in the office of J. C. Hook. Marlon lawyer, and that she over heard Phillip Fontanetta, one of the defendants, boasting of his part in the riots. The defense based its objection to Miss Mitchell’s testimony on the ground it was confidential conversation between attorney and client.
