Avoiafet of forty bonds. 91.75. unchanged. llii United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 7.—The Wall Street Journal's financial review today says: Stock exchange loan figures for September, published after \V ednes day’s close, showed an increase of $70,788 over August, a substantially larger expansion than was set forth for the same period in the Federal reserve figures, which do not Include borrowings from private and foreign banks. However, sentiment regarding the credit situation was somewhat reassured by maintenance of a 4 per cent bank rate at Boston. Professionals who had sold on anticipation of an increase were forced to cover on a I rising scale of prices in early deal r ings. Hudson Motor was conspicuously strong, advancing 2Vi. to 06, on active buying by W. C. Durant, which threw an over-extended short inter est into hurried retreat. Woolworth spurted 1%, to 163 Vi. responding to an increase of 6.6 per cent in its September sales. American Can advanced a point to 52%, Du Pont, 2%. to 33!)%, and Steel, %, to 147%. After displaying a fairly good tone in the late morning, stocks had an other sinking spell around noon and new lows on the movement were reached by the principal rails and in dustrials. Heavy margin calls were sent ou* after Wednesday’s close and many traders put in stop loss orders in tead of depositing additional margin These stops were caught as the da line proceeded, adding momentum to the downward swing. Prices in the leading industrials broke badly under the leadership of Steel and General Motors. The lat ter experienced a perpendicular drop to 158%, off 6% points from its morning high, while Steel was de pressed to 144%, off 2 points from the previous close. High-grade rails were also heavily -told, Nickel Plate breaking 3 points, to 190, and C. & 0., 3%, to 162. New York Central lost a point, to 133%. Opening prices: U. S.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Oct. 7.—lt has been sin nificant that Cuban raws have been sustained during the recent lull in new buy in* at 2% cents a pound. In fact, bolder* do not appear any too anxious to sell at that flnruro Th- action of the futures market affords further proof that the situation is well in hand. The more we hear about, nrosp-'otive supplies the more favorab’e the outlook becomes. A higher price level is in prospect.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & “McKinnon) NEW YORK. Oct. 7. —Ou the declines cotton acts fairly well but nothing big can he expect’d in the way of an advance There is just a possibility that tomorrow's estimate lias been discounted. From a speculative standpoint. I think it has. There is -- movement on foot to encniiraire the public in what is called investment buying. It is premature, in my opinion.

GRAIN OPENING IS GENERALLY LOWER Is Davoted to Technical Operations. 11 11 U-ntTril Press CHICAGO, Oct. 7.—With trading on the Chicago board of trade confined almost entirely to professional technical operations, grains generally had a lower opening this morning. Wheat reflected some of the strength of Liverpool, being unchanged to % higher. However, weather in the Northwest is highly favorable for the movement from that section. This will be a depressing factor. Corn opened % to %c lower on the reports of good drying weather in many sections of the belt. Minnesota, lowa, Illinois and Indiana had frosts but with the present clear weather these are helping in the drying out, rather than damaging the grain. Oats was Vs to Lie lower, following the trend of corn. It is without any feature of interest. There was no early change in provisions. CHICAGO.

Complaint against the Indianapolis & Cincinnati Traction Company, and thirty other defendants, asking the foreclosure of a mortgage executed by the traction company, amounting to more than $2,000,000, has been filed in the Rush Circuit Court, Rushville, by the Central Union Trust Company of New York, as trustee. Sale of the traction property to pay off mortgages and reorganization of the company probably will be the result of the action. It was said here today. Charles L. Henry, 1. & C. receiver, appointed in 1925, is out of the city. The other mortgages, on parts of (lie I. & C. line, amounting to more than $1,000,000, are included in the foreclosure proceedings, total amount of all mortgages being more than $3,000,000, all in default, it is alleged. Proceedings have been requested by protective committees, appointed by bondholders, it is said. The I & C. lines run from Indianapolis to Greensburg, through Shelbyville, and from Indianapolis to Rushville. The properties are showing increased earnings.

ADAMS TO IKE ONE MORE PLEA (Continued From Page 1) admits writing, and the document which Duvall denies signing but which gives the patronage of Indianapolis over to Stephenson in a return for support. “I am quite certain that Mayor Duvall will be able to get the original of the document he denies is authentic. He has a very easy way and one that can be of vast public assistance. Let him join with our group of editors and the six State Senators who ure demanding a chance to question Stephenson in his cell and I am very sure that the mayor will be either satisfied or vindicated,” said one of the members *of the committee. Important Admission That Duvall admitted the authenticity of the hand-written letter was regarded as more than important. The committee declared that both documents were obtained from the same source, very close to Stephenson, and were made apparently at the same time. That Stephenson had photographed and kept important letters from politiicians was the fact that brought a chill to most of the former subordinates of Stephenson. The committee refused to state when or how many more documen t would be published. "We believe that when Governor Jackson sees these documents and learns of the admission of Duvall that the letter on the treasureship i> authentic, he may revise his opinion of his powers and duties in this matter and at least his appointee. Warden Daly, to grant the request.” s.4id another member of the committee. Other Plans If tho Governor should refuse again to listen to the plea of the editors and the -State Senators and the trustees adhere to the decision made yesterday to refuse to interfere with Daly, other appeals and influence will be sought. The editors’ committee indicated that it had the faith that very soon public opinion in this matter would force the officials to reconsider and permit Stephenson to be seen and furnish the evidence which he asserts he can give. Otherwise the manner in which a special session of the Legislature may be called is being studied. There has been, as yet, no indication that prosecutions will be sought in Marion County or any reliance 1 placed on iocal officials for cooperation.
