Studebaker sold off fractionally to 54 on its first quarter balance of $1.74 a common share, against $2.08 in the first quarter of 1926.

Marland led the decline in oils, breaking to new low ground for the year at 37%, off 1%, on tho earnifigs -statement for the first quarter.

April 25.—A more^cheerful view of conditioni in the Ear But ami increased interest n Cuban raw s on the part of European buyers attended the advance in the susar futures market at the close of last week.

By Klnicf C. Walker, T'nit<] I'ross Financial Editor NEW YORK, April 25. Tie dilution of the Bank of England discount rate from 5 to 4% per cent, buoyancy of General Motors, a boom in cotton prices resulting from Mississippi floods, easy money rates, and voting of the 40 per cent stock dividend by holders of United States Steel Corporation shares were the outstanding highlights of the week in liimnce here. The coming week holds as many good things. In the first plucfb United States Steel directors meet on Tuesday and the Street is almost certain that the new stock will lie MINERS ID JAKE UP PEACE 1! 3 Conference Date Set by Union and Operators.

CONTENDS SIEVE CAN’T BE CALLED Gilliom Moves to Block Habeas Corpus Writ. Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom today prepared a motion to quash or set aside the lixbeas corpus action in Marion Superior Court One which would require Warden Walter Daly of the Indiana State prison to bring D. C. Stephenson into court for examination in a civil action May 6. The suit was instituted by Mrs. Nettie Stephenson Brehm. former wife of the deposed Kian dragon, to recover $10,500 for support of their daughter, age 12. “We expect the issues will be joined in this action so that appeal may be taken to the Indiana Supreme Court,’’ Gilliom declared. “It should be settled once for all whether or not the warden of a penal institution can be made to produce prisoners in courts throughout the State in civil suits.’’ Gilliom contends that no provision is made to finance such procedure and that it cannot he done in this State.

SHERIFF FACES ANOTHER CHARGE Bu United Pres* , FORT WAYNE, Ind., April 20. Department of Justice agents began anew investigation here today of liberties granted Federal prisoners by Guy Emerick, Allen County sheriff. George Yake. formerly of Hartford City, scrying a Federal sentence for liquor law violations, was arrested Sunday night at the home of a Negro, where he -had represented himself as a Federal agent to obtain liquor. Sheriff Emrick already faces contempt of court charges in Federal Court and will be tried on these Thursday. Yake told police he was jail cook and had “walked out" to get a drink." Mr£. Ross Urges Catholic President Bu I nited Proi* WASHINGTON, April 25.—Denouncing intolerance as the greatest sin of the age. former Governor Nellie Taylor Ross, Wyoming, today appealed to Democratic women to help elect a "well qualified Catholic" to be President of the United States. She wants a Catholic President, to show this is really a republic, not one in name only, she told the National Women’s Democratic Club. ' "I am a Protestant unalterably, by birth and conviction," she said. Mrs. Ross asserted she was not even suggesting any particular aspirant; she did not mention the name of Governor A1 Smith of New York, the only Catholic now pvominently mentioned in connection with the 1928 campaign. "1 hope the Democratic party, to which I adhere, is going to he tlie first to demonstrate that it stands four square upon the principle of religious freedom, which was the chief corner stone* upon which this Government was builded,” Mrs. Ross declared, '

placed on a $7 annual basis as hinted by Judge Elbert Gary, chairman of the corporation at the meeting last Monday. Then too, Steel will issue its report of earnings for the first quarter which are expected to make an excellent showing. Following shortly, Geenral Motors Corporation will report for the first quarter. The latter statement is eagerly awaited since it is expected, earnings will justify and result in an extra .cash distribution. 196 and Above General Motors soared above 196. the highest level ever attained by the present shares. Buying was induced not only by the earnings prospects, but also there were hints of large amounts of stock being absorbed for other purposes, but no hint was forthcoming as to the identity of the buyecs. Incidentally one of the events which buoyed up the market was the impression that with the Bank of England cutting its rate, the New York Federal Reserve Bank would follow suit. This change may come next week or it may wait until month-end settlements 7vhich are expected to draw heavily on the money market are out of the way. In event of a reduction to 3% per cent the market would certainly respond with a sharp advance, even exceeding the present buoyancy. Two-Sided "While special issues were moving higher and higher, there was another side to consider in the running. Almost as many issues showed declines. indicating that the majket was still a two-sided affair, with possibilities for making money on the bull or bear angle. Oils shot downward following further reductions in crude oil and gasoline. Sugar shares moved up. with the exception of Great "Western, which reported earnings only about half of last year. Tobaccos, rails, thrashing machine shares and numerous specialties advanced. Motors in the low-priced division eased off late in the week. Just now the public is reticent about making purchases of cars, since so much has been said about a price cutting war among lowpriced car productrs. Ford and Durant movements are being carefully watched and in the meantime automobile buying is lagging. General Mtors sales, however, are still at a high rate, so that the company officials are predicting the best month in history this April.

PENNSY WAGING VALUATION FIGHT Railroad and I. C. C. Hold Divergent Views. Times I\’nsk : neilou llitr-'an. Ill: Vt-ie York Avenue WASHINGTON, April 25.—Evi dence was being introduced here today by attorneys for the Pennsylvania Railroad at a valuation hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission, which may have a vital bearing on the tentative valuations being fixed by the government on every railroad property in the country for rate-making purposes. The Pennsylvania contends that the Government has no right to make deductions for depreciation. It claims that because of a strict replacement system tlie.er is no deterioration in its property. The commission has fixed a tentative \-aluation on the Pennsylvania at $1,362,861,850. which the railroad claims is far too low. At least $350,000,000 would have to be addded if the Government depreciation figure is not allowed. At the end, if the Government in"sists upon its deductions for depreciation, which is almost certain, the Supreme Court.

In Steel's bayou the party came on a series of rafts, makeshift affairs with huts on thorn. Several had cows and pigs besides liuman occupants. Most of those on the rafts were Negroes.
