LOCAL PORK MARKET DROPS

SUPREME COURT RULING CONTUSES STOCK EXCHANGE Rails Break Abruptly, but a Recover as Readily Before Close. By Elmer C. Waller, *' anager United Press Financial Service NEW YORK, Feb. 22. —Confusion over the meaning of a decision of the United States Supreme Court upholding the Interstate Commerce Commission’s valuation of the Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad permeated the stock market Monday. Stocks broke in a wave of selling which swept the railroad list, sending some issues down 12 points from their highs of the day, and threatening to undermine the entire market structure. For. a time it looked as if the gains run up in the strong rail market of the last few weeks would be wiped out at a single blow, but further study of the decision revealed that precipitate unloading had been unwise and the market recovered almost as sharply as it had fallen. The Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railway had contended that the valuation put on its properties should be the real value and not the value for rate making purposes. The I. C. C. contended otherwise and the case was taken to the Supreme Court, which today found for the I. C. C. Sharp Comeback Brokers had predicted the court would overrule the commerce commission and had advised purchase on this premise. Hence when an adverse decision was announced stocks were thrown on the market in large blocks, dropping proportionately in price. Nevertheless, the sharp cor.,eback indicated the inherent strength of the market as nothing has done for a long time. The storm was weathered without serious losses at ihe close and many gains, some of them large ones were recorded. The significance of the decision is that its application may mean that roads are liable to higher payments undeb the recapture clause of the Transpoi-tation Act, and it might pave the way for a reduction in freight rates, as with the lower valuation they might ear.n over the fair return set at 5% per cent. No general reduction in freight rates Is seen, however, and actually, perhaps, no harm has been done at all. Incidentally a higher valuation would not mean that increased freight rates would follow either, because of the hardship such a move would work with the farmer. Remarkable Recovery i Industrial stocks had a chance to show their strength and under the leadership of such a representative issue as Baldwin and the price level was well maintained. Baldwin soared up nearly to 200, closing the day with a gain of 014 points. American ■Woolen staged a remarkable recovery spurtihg 9% points for the day, while Air Reduction shot up S’/a points. Several issues in this category were depressed, including Amalgamated Leather preferred which dropped 3’£ points, and Union Oil of California off 2’a. Cotton was quiet most of the day, closing 7 to 12 points lower. Metals sold down; foreign exchange heid steady. On the bond market the rail flurry had an unsettling effect, but that was eradicated to a great extent before the close.

Bn United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Denunciation of the Ku-Klux Klan as “the most un-American institution in America” by Dr. Hubert C. Herring, Congregationalist Church official, drew hissing and applause from a mass meeting of 5,000 persons here last night, held for the purpose of giving a Protestant viewpoint of the Mexican religious controversy. Biohop James Cannon Jr., head of the Methodist Church in Mexico for eight years, denied there was any suppression of religion in Mexico, and asserted th 9 record of the Catholic Church justified the action of the Mexican government. Dr. Herring, in his speech, pleaded for “a decent way” of treating the controversy, and opposed , the idea of a Protestant judgment on Catholics. RESCUE WORKERS NAMED Col. Edward C.

The Tinymites were glad to stay upon tho smoke cloud. Thus all day they listened to the Smoke Man tell of things up in the sky. ‘‘You see,” said he, “I’m made of smoke. My body and my shoes and cloak. Why, I can smoke up everything, if I just choose to try.” Said Scouty then, *‘We all fall down when e’er we try to walk around’. I wonder can you tell us how to stand upon our feet.” The Smoke Man answered with a smile, “You just don’t know the proper style of holding up your bodies, so you always take a seat.” And then his laughter broke anew. Said he, “I’ve played a trick on you. Each time you tried to stand I moved the cloud apd made you fall. So try again now, if you will, and I will hold the cloud real still.” The Tlnies then stood up and, gee, it wasn’t hard at all. The smoke Man then began to blow some smoke rings, and away

INDUSTRIAL EXPOS OPEN IN ENGLAND I “ London,- Birmingham Exhibits Last Two Weeks.

Bu United Press LONDON, Feb. 22.—Britain's biggest bid for trade since the Wembley exposition closed was made Monday when the British industrial fair was opened herd and in Birmingham, in in effort to attract moneyed buyers from all parts of the world. It was hoped that the stimulus of the fair would help compensate for some of the $2,327,030,000 adverse trade balance recorded here in 1926. London’s fair was principally devoted to small articles and that at Birmingham to machinery and other heavy manufactures. More than 200,000 invitations were sent throughout the world. Judging from replies which had been received Monday, the United States will have the largest representation, with Holland, France. Belgium and. Switzerland next in order. South America and the dominions will be well represented. Canada probably will have the largest number of buyers to examine the offerings of 1,800 exhibitors. There were only 1.200 exhibitors last year. The fair will continue for a fortnight. Although some American buyers were present this year, it was understood that Americans have experienced considerable difficulty rn recent years In finding goods they wanted in British markets. A representative of an American firm recently spent six weeks in travel among several large English cities in an effort to place a large order for woolen goods. British economists contrasted that with sales methods in the United States where salesmen would have been waiting at the docks for the prospective buyer.

NICARAGUAN EIGHT TO GAIN CAPITAL Battle Rages With Managua as Prize.

Bu United Press MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. "2. —Sacasa Liberal troops have forced their way to a position only a score of miles from Managua, seat of the Diaz government. Conservatives and Liberals were bat tiing last night for possession of Masaya, a city twenty miles from the capital. The Conservative government was understood to be withdrawing troops from cities occupied by United Stales marines, and sending them to danger points which have not been declared neutral zones by Rear Admiral,Latimer, commanding the American forces. That led to a renewal of the Liberal Charge that the marines are aiding the Diaz forces, and that American intervention is an accomplished fact. United States marines were doing guard duty on all trains between Managua and Corinto yesterday. Four hundred marines are encamped at Leon, 350 at Chinandega. and forty at I.apas. Two hundred more landed yesterday at Corinto from the cruiser Trenton, which also brought Admiral Willard.

ALLIANCE POSSIBLE United States and Conservative Nicaragua May Be Linked. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Negotiations are in process which may lead to establishment of a virtual United States protectorate over Nicaragua, present center of civil war and United States military occupation. President Diaz lias requested this Government to enter into a type of alliance with Nicaragua, regularizing by treaty the kind of military protection now given his regime by the United States. A similar United States treaty with Panama was recently rejected by the Panaman assembly. Officials here say they have no desire to violate Nicaraguan sovereignty. But President Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg take the position that this Government should not permit foreign or interna! jeopardy to its special interests there, such as rights to naval bases and an interoceanic canal. Alleged Mexican leadership in an anti-Yankee movement in Central America, and Mexico’s recognition of the Liberal rebel Nicaraguan government after the United States recognized Diaz, are considered here a serious challenge to United States supremacy in the Caribbean. This Government has no evidence that this anti-Yankee movement is Com-’ munist, or that Russian Soviet influence is a factor, according to high officials here. Senator Borah, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. is leading a congressional group opposed to the Administration's Nicaraguan policy, charging it constitutes unjustified interference disastrous to Latin-American friendship. Borah claims that President Diaz is a puppet of American interests, who has usurped the constitutional power of the Liberal rebel leader, Saeasii. Mexico recognises the Sacasa-regime, but denies giving him military support such as the United States Is giving Diaz.
