BOTTOM FALLS FROM PORK MARKET

BEAR EFFORTS FRUSTRATED; MARKETSTRONG Representatives Refuse to Part With Sizeable Holdings.

Average Stock Prices

Average price of twenty Industrial stocks. 124.21. off .24. Average price of twenty rails. 07.13. up .03. B United Press NEW YORK. May 14.—Again professionals operating on the short side found themselves suddenly opposed by the fundamental strength of the economic situation. No energy was spared In the attempt to force prices down, especially among the more vulnerable Industrial shares but the success of the bearish efforts was frustrated by the refusal of the holders of representative stocks to part with any sizable holding of their lines. The failure of frightened offerings to appear demonstrated that stocks were in the hands of strong interests who were satisfied that conditions were strong. Once more all money advanced to 1 4 per cent but this development | resulted from withdrawals in connection with government operations and in no way changed the outlook for continued ease in credit conditions throughout the summer months. Aside from the way offerings fell off on the recession the most encouraging feature of the day’s transactions was the manner in which special groups were taken up when the selling movement in the general list showed signs of gaining headway. Good sized gains were registered in Anaconda, American Smelting, Kennecott and other representative issues and the whole copper group felt the Influence of impressive buying which was attributed to the Guggenheims and other leading interests in the industry. Price movements around noon were entirely in professional hand®. When large scale operators saw that buying showed no disposition to follow prices up they launched a selling move directed principally against leading industrials. This drive gained considerable momentum. Subtsantial recessions from earlier highs were forced in stocks like General Electric, American Can. Mack Truck, Dupont, Steel and Baldwin. American Locomotive sold down to 118, the lowest price since it started on the up-swing to record high of 144. l Local Bank Clearings F Local banks clearings Thursday amount'cd to $3.016,000.

Bu Times Special , NEW YORK, May 14.—The most densely noiiulated area in the worla 's a section of the lower east side of New York which runs from Rivington St. to Fourteenth St. and from the Bowery to the East river, according to the League for American citizenship. In this district, which* contains j!29 acres, live 219,256 persons. This would mean a population of 327,040 persons to the square mile, while the average population per square mile in the United States Ist 35. It is estimated that if the rest of New York were as thickly peopled, the city would contain nearly as many persons as live in the entire nation.

GIRL BATTLES FOR CUSTODY OF BABY SON Young Mother Seeks to Regain Possession of Child.’ Can the law with its minute and exact technicalities triumph over a mother’s love for her baby? This question was argued today in Superior Court Four when Mrs. Mildred Fleming, 20, of 957 XV. ThirtyFirst St., continued efforts to obtain custody of her 2-year-old son, Robert, through habeas corpus proceedings. The child has been kept since it was two months old by Clifford J. Collins, 328 Leslie Ave., who adopted him from the Children’s Guardian Home, 5751 University Ave., defend ants. Ward of Home Clifford E Fleming, the child’s father, made Robert a ward of the home shortly after birth. ‘’Justice requires it, the law demands that this child be given to its mother,” said Frank A. Symmes, attorney for Mrs. Fleming. “The paramount issue at stake Is the best interests of this child.” Pointing at Fleming, Symmes shouted, "Now, Mr. Fleming, this man with great love and affection for his child, who placed it in an institution through fraud, has never made one effort to see his baby since he relinquished hold of It.” Ruling Expected Wednesday Mrs. Collins tried to prove the mother was unfit to have the child. Testimony showed the mother had made futile attempts to regain possession of the child. Special Judge F*red McCallister was expected to rule this afternoon. When court adjourned Wednesday Symmes asked Judge McCallister whether the mother might see her child. "Why certainly, tell her to go to the baby,” said Judge McCallister. The baby, who was taken into court by Collins on demand of Symmes, was held throughout the day by Collins and his wife. Brief Reunion Mrs. Collins was preparing to leave the courtroom when Mrs. Fleming made an effort to take the child. Mrs. Collins held him tightly. “Let her have the baby a minute,” said Symmes. This w-as the first time Mrs. Fleming had held the child since he was eleven days old, she said. In a few minutes Mrs. Collins took the child and left.
