In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Dec. 17.—Demand for cotton, when price# are above 13 cent* for October, is not yet sufficient t hold the market. That will come in time. I think the market is a good purchase five or ten points under last nlirht's close. This wonderful ews about the steel company may start another bier bull market. Where can a buyer find anything as safe and cheap as cotton?

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YOKE, Dec. 17.—The most encouraging feature.in yesterday s sugar futures market was'the support encountered while prices were sagging. Inasmuch as the ideas of buyers in spot sugar are largely influenced by futures, a continuance of this support, will have a steadying influence until the present lull in trade demand has passed.

Tracy United Press Stiff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—This is one of the great days in Wall Street history. Under the urge of the United States Steel coporation’s 40 per cent stock dividend declared yesterday, millions changed hands, records were set only to be surpassed; and persons who have spent years watching that place where men actually match quarters for a half million dollars, pronounced It one of the big days of all times for the financial world. United State Steel sold over $l6O a shax-e, the highest price it ever sold for. The number of steel shares changing hands surpassed anything in history. Men made thousands of dollars in minutes. Trading posts like football players in a huddle, that really all was order, and that these men were turning millions while shouting and in their seemingly mad scrambles. At noon the door of the exchange was littered with paper and debris, bits ot note pads, newspapers torn to shreds, pieces of tape; flowers and even a broker’s collar strewed the scene.

REBATES GIVEN, SAYS GILLIOM (Continued From Page 1) heads and argument on the question of jurisdiciton of the commission was closed. Giilioin Enraged His face white with rage, his voice far from being under control, Gilliom prefaced his speech by saying that “my opinions given this commission and any other branch of the State government speak for themselves.” Matson, in his argument, had said some' complimentary things about Gillioim personally, while disagreeing with ins findings which had been given the commission. Charges Intimidation Seeming to suddenly lose control of himself Gilliom screamed, “There are not enough corporations in this world, there are not enough newspapers in this world, there are not enough politicians In this world to intimidate me.” “While I am the incumbent of the office of attorney general the official acts of the attorney general will always be determined solely by what the law is and not like we would have the law stated.” Stating that the attorney general is but a “mirror who reflects the law,” Gilliom took up the alleged “falsehoods printed about the attorney general's office with reference to the second opinion furnished the public service commission, by the Indianapolis News.” “Neither the Indianapolis News,” shouted Gilliom, “or all the newspapers in the world can in the slightest degree influence the attorney general as to the performance of his official duties. I reflect the law precisely as the law is and am and will be free from intimidation.”

Cites Rebates Becoming specific regarding the basis of his charges against the evening newspaper Gilliom read from a blue-print from figures tending to prove that in May, 1924, the News paid $225 for service from one of the utilities which should have been billed as $337. He declared that at the time the charges were made public both electric power companies entered a plea of guilty to have given rebates and paid fines of $2,000 each. Having completed his remarks on rebates and price concessions the attorney general took up the legal phases of the jurisdiction question. He sided! with every contention made by counsel for the utilities. He told the commission: 1. The public service commission has a right to hear this case On the petition presented in its amended form. 2. It Is not necessary for the new company to acquire property plants or be an operating company to come within the scope of the commission. 3. It is not necessity for the new companj/ to be the holder Os a franchise as held by the merger opponents because of Rule 17 of the commission. 4. That the combined capitalizations of the companies jvhich it is sought to merge does not have to form the basis of the capitalization of the new company. 5. That the commission and the commission alone will determine what the merger capitalization will be and because the petititn asked for a capitalization of over $58,000,000 it does not follow that amount will be granted. A complete report of what Gilliom said in regard to his charges that the utilities have continued to grant rebates follows: "The commission knows from its own records that in 1924 through its auditing department it was discovered that these two utilities engaged in highly discriminatory practices. Rebates and discounts were secretly given to consumers of light, heat and power on a large scale. There Is no question about that. The two utilities were prosecuted and paid fines aggregating $2,000 each, and sometimes, while some folks say that they represent the dear people, and that we must do something here to protect the dear people, when we look behind the scenes, we find selfish motives. "You may fool the people occasionally, and sometimes for a while, and sometimes all of them, but you are not going to be able to fool all the people always, and if I have anything to do with It here you are not going to be able to fool the people of Indianapolis much longer, about the attorney general's office, nor aro you going to fool them much longer about some of the motives that have caused some of these unseemly, un-American efforts to Intimidate State officers in a matter where the Legislature itself has suggested In rather plain language what the duties should be. One of Beneficiaries | “I speak about the Indianapolis News as one of those agencies. In 1924 it happened to be one of the beneficiaries of one of these rebates and discounts. The commission dis covered it, found that on a billing of May, 1920, whereas it should have paid $337.50, under the unlawful, criminal practice of accepting knowingly rebates and discounts, it paid $225. "I have before me the blueprints, the data from the public service commission records that show that some of these people who have employed lawyers that are here objecting to this commission doing anything in this matter and posing as

the evangels cf righteousness and the guardians of the dear people, were in 1924 the recipients of these unlawful, criminal rebates and discounts, and I am told they are bene siting by them today, and that may furnish some of the motive for some of the very partisan remarks that are being made here. Methods Changed ”1 am told that after the commission investigated this matter in 1924, and after these two utilities were brought into court and paid fines of $2,000, that there was a promise that it would be discontinued, but I am told sirs, gentlemen of the commission, that instead of discontinuing it, the method only of covering it up was changed, and that instead of books available to your auditor jthere are private ledgers kept and your auditors ought to inquire for these private ledgers when they inquire into this question. And I am told, rather reliably, I think, that these discounts and these rebates today in the city of Indianapolis, as to these two utilities, approach a half million dollars a year. And the dear people, the dear people, who are to be protected here by these evangels of righteousness, are paying tkftit half million dollars for these consumers, who are criminally accepting these rebates and these discounts. "It is known to every lawyer, it is known to this commission that one of the things, above all things, that the Legislature sought to do in establishing the present system of regulating public utilities, was to eliminate these criminal practices of discrimination in rates and service. From Sec. 112 to Sec. 115 inclusive, Os the Shively-Spencer utility act, you have the most complete legislation to prevent any and all discounts, rebates, privileges, franks, etc., making it criminal so- the utility to give ’hem, making in criminal for the consumer to accept.” BEAR WITH COLLAR SANFORD. Me., Dec. 17.—A hunter In Kennebunk recently found a bear with a collar, indicating that the animal had been in captivity. She vias very tame. A good-sized bear cub was caught in one of the traps in Alfred recently. At a recent inquest in London it was stated that a bullet, after penetrating a man’s heart passed through the bed on which he was lying, penetrated the floor and pierced the ceiling of the public bar below. There it struck a barrel and glanced off into the pocket of a customer, where it remained unnoticed for twenty minutes.

MARKET LOOKS GOOD ONLY FOR STEEL COMMON Future Shows Nothing Optimistic for Other Stocks. By E. Walter Muckier NEW YORK, Dec. 17,—The action of Thursday's stock market augured nothing optimistic for the future, except in the case of steel common. The board of directors of the IT, S. Steel Corporation voted a 49 per cent stock dividend on the common shares. All day, the street was Hooded with rumors of a pending action on the part of the steel corporation. These started with rumors that Judge Gary, head of the corporation since 1901, was about to resign and inc.uded all of the recent rumors from the $3 extra cash dividend to the 40 per cent stock divideid. The latter proved to ho the answer. Rumors Ended This puts an end to the question which has been agitating the street for months, and at the same time should give the market anew stimulus. It is the first major break in the excessively conservative policy of the corporation. It Is no secret that the board has long been divided on the question of extra dividends. After th eofficial trading ceased at 3 o’clock, steel closed at 154 "4. Trading, however, was conducted in the unlisted market, “over the count* r.” In this market the stock jumped to 161 bid, 163 asked after the announcement was made and there ilittle doubt that the genet# 1 market today will be featured by steel. Distribute Stock Whether this influence will be strong enough to bolster the general market Is an open question. Despite very good buying in Steel today, the general list gave grounds. Both rails and industrials paid the penalty of recent strength, apparently more than one substantial long interest took advantage of the strong market in Steel to distribute a little stock. Trading again exceeded the two million-share level by a wide margin. For a time it appeared although the oils were going to move substantially as a result of the acquittal verdict in the Doheny-Fall case. However, the movement burned itself out after a brief spelt of buying. Incidentally it is worthy of note that 372,800 shares, or more than 10 per cent of the total trading was done in Steel common.
