Odd-Lot Investment Buying in Small Aggregate. With Prices Barely Steady. Federal National Bank Will Pay 3 Per Cent Dividend July 1. Interesting Notes. BY I. A. FLEMING. Investors at the present time are in a conservative mood, not only in "Wash¬ ington, hut elsewhere. There is abso¬ lutely no speculative trading in local securities nor has there been for many days. Money is easy and the supply so abundant that bankers are not disturb¬ ing" loans that are "well fortified or margined, and no one is forced to sell. While prices fluctuate within the same narrow range, any heavy selling movement, not in the least likely, would make for price recessions. Odd lots are favored, indicating the lightness of the demand. A little Rail¬ way preferred sold at 84H, and odd lots of Capital Traction at 90. the stock being offered at 90%- An odd lot of Federal National Bank stock sold at J40. Bonds were a trifle more active than stocks. Railway 4s were recorded on the sales record at 82. Dividend on Merchants' Storage.

Bethlehem Steel Scoring Record. Coppers Continue to Reflect the Favorable Conditions in That Industry. NEW YORK, June 11, 10:30 a.m..Wall street seemed to view the international situation with increasing- optimism, judging- from the course of the stock market in today's early dealings. War shares were again conspicuous, Bethlehem Steel rising 5 points to J69Vf>. a new record, with an equal gain for General Electric. Elsewhere, especially among indus¬ trials, advances ran from 1 to 2 points, the copper group continuing to reflect the "favorable condition in that indus¬ try. United States Steel's initial transac¬ tion consisted of a block of 5,000 shares at an advance of a point. Canadian Pacific the Heaviest. American Can opened with sales of 4.000 shares, and Anaconda Copper with 2.000, each making substantial fractional advances. Canadian Pacific was the only heavy issue, declining over 2 points. % l'rofit-taking reduced gains through¬ out the list and the market soon be¬ came reactionary. Bethlehem Steel lost half its gain and other stocks of tnis class suffered similarly. There was a secondary rise on more moderate trading, but only in a few instances, notably Amalgamated Cop¬ per and Mexican Petroleum, did prices recover to initial high levels. .Bonds Are Steady. Canadian Pacific, in which selling was reported for Montreal, regained some of its loss. Before noon American Car. American and Baldwin Locomotives and Texas Company were taken up, with advances of 2 to points, while American Coal Products rose 10 points. Bonds were steady. Demand Reaches Inactive Issues. Renewal of buying on a general scale was witnessed in the afternoon, the demand embracing many inactive is¬ sues at 1 to 2 point gains. Federal Mining common and preferred rose 9 and 8 points, respectively. Washington Stock Exchange. SALES. Washington <;as 5s. $500 at 104*4. Washington Railway 4«. $10,000 a; 82, $5,000 at 82.

BAD WEATHER SOUTHWEST ADVANCES WHEAT PRICES Reports From Kansas Help Bulls, Despite a Fresh Decline at Liverpool. CHICAGO. June 11..Wet weather in the southwest lifted wheat prices today regardless of a fresh decline at Liver¬ pool. Strong interests here took the surplus off the market. Reports from Kansas said close examination of the crop seemed to show that filling had made no headway, and that the out¬ look was more unfavorable than had been supposed. After opening % off to H up, t1*e market here rose more than 2 cents above last night before beginning: to react. Corn Rises With Wheat. Corn ascended with wheat. Resides, field conditions were generally against the bears. Opening prices, which varied from % to 1 cent advance, were fol¬ lowed by moderate additional upturns. Oats took the same course as other grain. The feature was active short covering, presumably for a large speculator. Lower quotations for hogs weakened provisions. Declines, however, were not of a radical sort. NEW YORK. NEW YORK, June 11..Flour.Weak; spring patents, 6.25a6.60: winter pat¬ ents, 6.00a6.15: winter straights, 5.75a 5.90. Pork.Steady. Beef.Steady.

Shares Advance to 31 in Wall Street Today on Proposed Severance. NEW YORK, June 11..Shares of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company were again active and strong today, ad¬ vancing to 81* as against 21 a week ago. The rise was associated with the proposed ssTsranoe of the company's relations with the Southern Pacific Company, which oontrols Pacific Mall through stock ownership. This step, according to statements by officials, will probably be followed by the sale or lease of the steamship com¬ pany's holdings, Including a number of vessels and real estate, on terms favorable to the shareholders Sugar Market Ii Firm.

PRODUCES LETTERS AND CHECK ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Lawyers Again Clash Over Questions. Court Overrules Ex-Judge Wright's Contentions. That Mrs. Isabel Barklie of Wayne, Pa., the government's chief witness, de¬ sired to speculate in stocks, and did not seek to purchase for investment, and that she has no animosity against the defend¬ ants, were the features of the testimony brought out today by her cross-examina¬ tion at the trial of John William Henry, former head of the bankrupt brokerage firm of Lewis Johnson & Co., before Jus¬ tice Siddons and a jury in Criminal Di¬ vision 2. Former Justice Wright, who. with Attorney T. M. Wampler. is represent¬ ing the defendant, sought to have the witness tell if she had instigated the prosecution of Mr. Henry, but on ob¬ jection by U. S. Attorney Laskey the witness was not-allowed to answer. She was also prevented from making a response t.o an inquiry by Judge Wright if the Pennsylvania Company for Insurance and Annuities did not pav over $10,000 of the money on ac¬ count of the stock purchases, and whether that sum was not still due the company from the witness. In noting an exception to the ruling of the court refusing to receive the answer the lawyer made a proffer to show 1 hat because of the non-pay¬ ment of this money to the Pennsyl¬ vania corporation it and not the wit¬ ness was the complainant against Mr. Henry. Attorneys Clash. Two or three clashes between coun¬ sel enlivened the court session this morning and one brought forth so much laughter from the audience that Justice Siddons threatened to clear the courtroom. Judge Wright had asked Mrs. Barklie if she ever sought the arrest of Mr. Henry after the witness had testified that her husband and Mr. Henry were friends and fellow-clubmen and that she liked the de¬ fendant. United States Attorney Laskey was on his feet in a moment, declaring that Judge Wright from his long experi¬ ence on the bench knew better than to propound this query. "I am a public official." said the I'nited States attorney, "and it is my duty to prosecute any crime called to my attention." Judge Wright responded: "There are a good many people walk¬ ing around the street that you ought to get after." Both sides asked that the remark or the other be expurged from the rec¬ ord. but the court did not rule on the matter and it was passed over. Completes Examination. Assistant United States Attorney Archer completed the direct examina¬ tion of Mrs. Barklie about 11 o'clock after inquiring if she was not the owner of premises 1912 Sunderland place and if she ever received any Mexican petroleum stock. The wit¬ ness answered the first inquiry in the affirmative, and. after a ruling by the court, that she never received any stock. Judge Wright, in objecting to the question about shares of stock, claimed that the indictment is faulty in that it accuses Mr. Henry of the larceny after trust of shares of stock. The lawyer contended that "shares" of stock could not be the subject of larceny, as the term represents the intangible interest of stockholders in a corporation, while it is the "certificate" of stock which is the physical evidence of ownership and which alone could be stolen or misappropriated. Justice Siddons admitted the tech¬ nical distinction, yet ruled that the use of the word "shares" in the indictment could not possibly have misled the ac¬ cused. Judge Wright, taking up the cross- examination, learned that the witness had never before dealt with a stock broker and that she had little knowl¬ edge of the terms used. Her Idea of Margin. Witness stated that "margin," she understood, as the purchase of stock on the installment plan. She wanted to make some money by stock speculation, she said, although her husband had advised against it and told her he could "lose enough money for the fam¬ ily by racing his horses." Witness admitted asking Henry to protect her stock and that she after¬ ward told him to do the best he could to make some money for her. This did not mean that he was to sell, she said, without notifying her. She admitted, however, that at the time stock purports in the account to have been sold she was in Carlsbad and could not be reached by the broker. Mrs. Barklie was excused at the close of the cross-examination from the wit¬ ness stand. Getting of Information Explained. Counsel for the original seven mid¬ shipmen recommended for dismissal,! indicated by questions put to the wit¬ ness that the system permitting of the giving out of helpful hints by an in¬ structor in one section, not given in another section pursuing the same course of study, works an unfairness. The kind of "dope"' that Price received, he testified, did not come from his in¬ structor. but he understood it was dis¬ seminated in Prof. Cusachs' section. Midshipman Robert J. Walker of the present first class testified along similar lines. He said the dissemination of helpful Information was general among members of the first and second class prior to the examination. It was not regarded as having come from improper sources. Admiral Fullam. superintendent of the academy, was recalled and furnished the court with a list of thirty-five midship¬ men who had to his knowledge pos¬ sessed advance information relative to examinations. Broker Henry's Letters. Mrs. Isabell Barklie of Wayne, Pa., the chief witness for the prosecution was called to the stand by Assistant United States Attorney Archer after The Star's report closed yesterday. Mrs. Barklie identified letters received from the defendant and checks sent by her to him to pay for purchase of stocks, including 600 shares of Mexican Pe¬ troleum. She testified that she had consulted Mr. Henry concerning stock Investment while he was a visitor at her Pennsylvania home over one night in October, 1913. The witness declared that the broker had not urged her to buy. "I asked him if he knew," said the witness, "of any good stocks. He hesi¬ tated and then stated that he knew or several good things. I told him that I had some money that I thought of in¬ vesting in stocks. He then told me about the Mexican Petroleum, but did not urge me to buy." Mrs. Barklie explained that she first sent Mr. Henry a check for $2,000 drawn to the order of Lewis Johnson & Co. to purchase for her 600 shares of Mexican Petroleum. She identified the check as being entirely in her hand- writing with the *xo«ptlonof a nota¬ tion in the corner. Th« witneM d«- dared that Mr. Henry oommunicated with her frequently, both by mail and were identified by the witness. Three of the letters relating to the petroleum stock were read tp the jury, in one of which the defendant sent friendly greeting to the husband of the witness, who was mentioned as "Dear Old Archie." Acknowledges Check Receipt. The witness said she received a let¬ ter from the defendant October 30, 1912, which read: "My Dear Mrs. Barklie: I received your note today with check for $2,000. Now. to be very plain, and I know you want me to, 1 think that it would be risky to carry 500 shares of stock on that margin, as you see it would be only about 4 per cent, so I think you had better let me sell 300 shares when I can get out even.you must not mind my speaking plainly. I do think that you can make $5,000 or $6,000 in a few months if you were to hold the 500 shares. Yours very truly, "J. WILLIAM HENRY. ' Another, dated July 17, 1913, reads as follows: "My Dear Mrs. Barklie: T am very glad you have decided not to sell your stock, as I feel sure we will have bet- ter times after a while. Thank you very much for your check of $5,000. Yours very truly. "J. WILLIAM HENRY." Acknowledgment of the receipt of another check for $5,000, witness de¬ clared, was contained in a letter dated July 24. 1913. The epistle read. "My Dear Mrs. Barltlie: Thank you very much for your check for $5,000. ij hope you will not rely upon my advice in this matter, as T can only tell you what 1 hear and believe, but Archie will tell you that a broker's opinion is; not much better than "any one else's, I can say this.I bought some myself, and paid higher than you did, and still have it." j WEATHER.

Odd-Lot Investment Buying in Small

Aggregate. With PricesBarely Steady.

Federal National Bank Will Pay 3

Per Cent Dividend July 1.

Interesting Notes.

BY I. A. FLEMING.Investors at the present time are in a

conservative mood, not only in "Wash¬

ington, hut elsewhere. There is abso¬

lutely no speculative trading in local

securities nor has there been for many

days.Money is easy and the supply so

abundant that bankers are not disturb¬ing" loans that are "well fortified or

margined, and no one is forced to sell.While prices fluctuate within the same

narrow range, any heavy sellingmovement, not in the least likely, would

make for price recessions.Odd lots are favored, indicating the

lightness of the demand. A little Rail¬

way preferred sold at 84H, and odd lots

of Capital Traction at 90. the stockbeing offered at 90%-An odd lot of Federal National Bank

stock sold at J40.Bonds were a trifle more active than

stocks. Railway 4s were recorded on

the sales record at 82.

Dividend on Merchants' Storage.The .> per cent semi-annual dividend

of the Merchants' Transfer and Storage

Company is payable to shareholders of

record of June 19 on July 1.

Treasury Condition.The condition of the United States

Treasury at the close of business yes¬

terday was:

Net balance in general fund, 118,460.-64$; total receipts, $2,359,072; total pay¬ments, J1.940.8S6.The deficit this fiscal year is $101.-

386,629, against a deficit of $34,115,151'last year, exclusive of Panama canaland public debt transactions.

Federal National Dividend.The directors of the Federal Na¬

tional Bank have declared the usual-emi-annual dividend of 3 per cent,payable July 1, to shareholders of rec¬ord June 26.

Financial Notes.Because the Pacific Mail Steamship

Company was refused permission touse the Panama canal orders were sentcanceling commissions for four shipsto cost $12,000,000. It is expected thatthe ships of this company will soon..ease to fly the 'American flag.Five million dollars in gold from

MARKET ISIACTIONARY,EARLY GAINS ARE LOST

War Shares Are Again Conspicuous.Bethlehem Steel Scoring

Record.

Coppers Continue to Reflect theFavorable Conditions in That

Industry.

NEW YORK, June 11, 10:30 a.m..Wallstreet seemed to view the internationalsituation with increasing- optimism,judging- from the course of the stockmarket in today's early dealings.War shares were again conspicuous,

Bethlehem Steel rising 5 points toJ69Vf>. a new record, with an equal gainfor General Electric.Elsewhere, especially among indus¬

trials, advances ran from 1 to 2 points,the copper group continuing to reflectthe "favorable condition in that indus¬try.United States Steel's initial transac¬

tion consisted of a block of 5,000shares at an advance of a point.

Canadian Pacific the Heaviest.American Can opened with sales of

4.000 shares, and Anaconda Copperwith 2.000, each making substantialfractional advances.Canadian Pacific was the only heavy

issue, declining over 2 points. %

l'rofit-taking reduced gains through¬out the list and the market soon be¬came reactionary. Bethlehem Steel lost

half its gain and other stocks of tnisclass suffered similarly.There was a secondary rise on more

moderate trading, but only in a fewinstances, notably Amalgamated Cop¬per and Mexican Petroleum, did pricesrecover to initial high levels.

.Bonds Are Steady.Canadian Pacific, in which selling

was reported for Montreal, regainedsome of its loss.Before noon American Car. American

and Baldwin Locomotives and TexasCompany were taken up, with advancesof 2 to points, while American CoalProducts rose 10 points.Bonds were steady.Demand Reaches Inactive Issues.Renewal of buying on a general scale

was witnessed in the afternoon, thedemand embracing many inactive is¬sues at 1 to 2 point gains.Federal Mining common and preferred

rose 9 and 8 points, respectively.

BAD WEATHER SOUTHWESTADVANCES WHEAT PRICES

Reports From Kansas Help Bulls,Despite a Fresh Decline

at Liverpool.

CHICAGO. June 11..Wet weather inthe southwest lifted wheat prices todayregardless of a fresh decline at Liver¬pool. Strong interests here took thesurplus off the market. Reports fromKansas said close examination of the

crop seemed to show that filling hadmade no headway, and that the out¬look was more unfavorable than hadbeen supposed.After opening % off to H up, t1*e

market here rose more than 2 centsabove last night before beginning: to

react.

Corn Rises With Wheat.

Corn ascended with wheat. Resides,field conditions were generally againstthe bears. Opening prices, which variedfrom % to 1 cent advance, were fol¬lowed by moderate additional upturns.Oats took the same course as other

grain. The feature was active shortcovering, presumably for a largespeculator.Lower quotations for hogs weakened

provisions. Declines, however, were

not of a radical sort.

Chief Witness in Embezzle¬ment Trial Tells of De¬fendant's Transactions.

PRODUCES LETTERS ANDCHECK ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Lawyers Again Clash Over Questions.Court Overrules Ex-Judge

Wright's Contentions.

That Mrs. Isabel Barklie of Wayne,Pa., the government's chief witness, de¬sired to speculate in stocks, and did notseek to purchase for investment, and thatshe has no animosity against the defend¬ants, were the features of the testimonybrought out today by her cross-examina¬tion at the trial of John William Henry,former head of the bankrupt brokeragefirm of Lewis Johnson & Co., before Jus¬tice Siddons and a jury in Criminal Di¬vision 2.Former Justice Wright, who. with

Attorney T. M. Wampler. is represent¬ing the defendant, sought to have thewitness tell if she had instigated theprosecution of Mr. Henry, but on ob¬jection by U. S. Attorney Laskey thewitness was not-allowed to answer.She was also prevented from making

a response t.o an inquiry by JudgeWright if the Pennsylvania Companyfor Insurance and Annuities did notpav over $10,000 of the money on ac¬count of the stock purchases, andwhether that sum was not still due thecompany from the witness.In noting an exception to the ruling

of the court refusing to receive theanswer the lawyer made a profferto show 1 hat because of the non-pay¬ment of this money to the Pennsyl¬vania corporation it and not the wit¬ness was the complainant against Mr.Henry.

Attorneys Clash.Two or three clashes between coun¬

sel enlivened the court session thismorning and one brought forth somuch laughter from the audience thatJustice Siddons threatened to clear thecourtroom.Judge Wright had asked Mrs. Barklie

if she ever sought the arrest of Mr. Henryafter the witness had testified that herhusband and Mr. Henry were friends andfellow-clubmen and that she liked the de¬fendant. United States Attorney Laskeywas on his feet in a moment, declaringthat Judge Wright from his long experi¬ence on the bench knew better than topropound this query.

"I am a public official." said theI'nited States attorney, "and it is myduty to prosecute any crime called tomy attention."Judge Wright responded:"There are a good many people walk¬

ing around the street that you oughtto get after."Both sides asked that the remark or

the other be expurged from the rec¬ord. but the court did not rule on thematter and it was passed over.

Completes Examination.Assistant United States Attorney

Archer completed the direct examina¬tion of Mrs. Barklie about 11 o'clockafter inquiring if she was not theowner of premises 1912 Sunderlandplace and if she ever received anyMexican petroleum stock. The wit¬ness answered the first inquiry in theaffirmative, and. after a ruling by thecourt, that she never received anystock.Judge Wright, in objecting to the

question about shares of stock, claimedthat the indictment is faulty in that itaccuses Mr. Henry of the larceny aftertrust of shares of stock. The lawyercontended that "shares" of stock couldnot be the subject of larceny, as theterm represents the intangible interestof stockholders in a corporation, whileit is the "certificate" of stock whichis the physical evidence of ownershipand which alone could be stolen ormisappropriated.Justice Siddons admitted the tech¬

nical distinction, yet ruled that the useof the word "shares" in the indictmentcould not possibly have misled the ac¬cused.Judge Wright, taking up the cross-

examination, learned that the witnesshad never before dealt with a stockbroker and that she had little knowl¬edge of the terms used.

Her Idea of Margin.Witness stated that "margin," she

understood, as the purchase of stock onthe installment plan. She wanted tomake some money by stock speculation,she said, although her husband hadadvised against it and told her hecould "lose enough money for the fam¬ily by racing his horses."Witness admitted asking Henry to

protect her stock and that she after¬ward told him to do the best he couldto make some money for her. This didnot mean that he was to sell, she said,without notifying her. She admitted,however, that at the time stock purportsin the account to have been sold she wasin Carlsbad and could not be reached bythe broker.Mrs. Barklie was excused at the close

of the cross-examination from the wit¬ness stand.

Getting of Information Explained.Counsel for the original seven mid¬

shipmen recommended for dismissal,!indicated by questions put to the wit¬ness that the system permitting of thegiving out of helpful hints by an in¬structor in one section, not given inanother section pursuing the samecourse of study, works an unfairness.The kind of "dope"' that Price received,

he testified, did not come from his in¬structor. but he understood it was dis¬seminated in Prof. Cusachs' section.Midshipman Robert J. Walker of the

present first class testified along similarlines. He said the dissemination ofhelpful Information was general amongmembers of the first and second classprior to the examination. It was notregarded as having come from impropersources.Admiral Fullam. superintendent of the

academy, was recalled and furnished thecourt with a list of thirty-five midship¬men who had to his knowledge pos¬sessed advance information relative toexaminations.

Broker Henry's Letters.Mrs. Isabell Barklie of Wayne, Pa.,

the chief witness for the prosecutionwas called to the stand by AssistantUnited States Attorney Archer afterThe Star's report closed yesterday. Mrs.Barklie identified letters received fromthe defendant and checks sent by herto him to pay for purchase of stocks,including 600 shares of Mexican Pe¬troleum. She testified that she hadconsulted Mr. Henry concerning stockInvestment while he was a visitor ather Pennsylvania home over one nightin October, 1913. The witness declaredthat the broker had not urged her tobuy."I asked him if he knew," said the

witness, "of any good stocks. He hesi¬tated and then stated that he knew orseveral good things. I told him that Ihad some money that I thought of in¬vesting in stocks. He then told meabout the Mexican Petroleum, but didnot urge me to buy."Mrs. Barklie explained that she first

sent Mr. Henry a check for $2,000drawn to the order of Lewis Johnson &Co. to purchase for her 600 shares ofMexican Petroleum. She identified thecheck as being entirely in her hand-writing with the *xo«ptlonof a nota¬tion in the corner. Th« witneM d«-dared that Mr. Henry oommunicatedwith her frequently, both by mail and

were identified by the witness.Three of the letters relating to the

petroleum stock were read tp the jury,in one of which the defendant sentfriendly greeting to the husband of thewitness, who was mentioned as "DearOld Archie."

Acknowledges Check Receipt.The witness said she received a let¬

ter from the defendant October 30,1912, which read:"My Dear Mrs. Barklie: I received

your note today with check for $2,000.Now. to be very plain, and I know youwant me to, 1 think that it would berisky to carry 500 shares of stock onthat margin, as you see it would beonly about 4 per cent, so I think youhad better let me sell 300 shares whenI can get out even.you must not mindmy speaking plainly. I do think thatyou can make $5,000 or $6,000 in a fewmonths if you were to hold the 500shares. Yours very truly,

"J. WILLIAM HENRY. '

Another, dated July 17, 1913, reads asfollows:"My Dear Mrs. Barklie: T am very

glad you have decided not to sell yourstock, as I feel sure we will have bet-ter times after a while. Thank youvery much for your check of $5,000.Yours very truly.

"J. WILLIAM HENRY."Acknowledgment of the receipt of

another check for $5,000, witness de¬clared, was contained in a letter datedJuly 24. 1913. The epistle read."My Dear Mrs. Barltlie: Thank you

very much for your check for $5,000. ijhope you will not rely upon my advicein this matter, as T can only tell youwhat 1 hear and believe, but Archiewill tell you that a broker's opinion is;not much better than "any one else's,I can say this.I bought some myself,and paid higher than you did, and stillhave it." j
