1L SETLE, SAYS SUIT DEFENDANT $930 Action Almost Gets Into City Court Today A suit for $230 brought by DeWitt A. Riley Co, Inc., against John Soczynski, was settled actually on the threshold of the city court this morning when, after an hour's con- ference in the corridors of city hall between the plaintiff and defendunt and their attorneys, the party moved for the court and as they were about to enter, the defendant stated: “I'll settle.” The case was the outcome of the employment of Soczynski, a con- tractor, by Mr. Elia. The DeWitt A. Riley . agents of the Prudential Life Insurance Co., issued a first mortgage on the property and paid sums of money to the contractor for work done for the mortgagee. Soczynski wus to pay all subcon- tractors working on the job, and one of these was the Kolodney Brothers. They presentcd a bill for $230, and, according to the DeWitt A. Riley Co., by orders of Soczynski, the moncy was paid directly to Kolodney Broth- € Socaynski's total bill amounted | 1o $6,800. In auditing the accounts in con- nection with the settlement of the bills, it was then discovered that in the $6,800 paid to Soczynski, was! included the sum of $230 paid to Kolodney Brothers. Soczynski refus- | ed'to return this sum to the DeWitt | A. Riley Co., clalming that he had | done some extra work for Elia and | Mrs. MRS.

CALL WONEY DROPS AND CURB RALLIES ave of Selling Checked, Con- lidence Regained by Noon New York, May 9 (M—The curh market was turned highly reaction- ary after a strong opening today by & 14 per cent renewal rate for call loans for the third successive day. and uneasiness over the meeting of the federal reserve directors, but a drop in call money to 12 per cent by carly afternoon revived confidence and stimulated renewed operations for the advance. This was the first evidence of a letyp in the extraer- dinary pressure for funds this week. The utilities sold rapidly lower in the wave of selling which swept the market before midday. American Superpower A and B stocks turned upward at the opening, but quickly lost their gains. Electrie Investors lost an early gain and drepped 6 points. United Gas Improvemert |lost nearly as much. Allied Power {dropped more than a point, and Electric Rond and Share lost a gain of about ? points. Northeastern Power and Penn Ohio Edisen, how- jever, held firm.

May wheat has'dropped about 28 cents a bushel from its high of the year. It is also believed that farmers are unwilling to sell their holdings at the curremt prices and are therefore borrowing more than normal at the banks to finance spring operations. t t n Bankers see little hope for any|! marked improvement in the supply of call funds in the near future be- cause of the large sums which will be required to take care of new fi- nancing planned by several larg: lrorpomnonq 1t is estimated that! butween now and July about $800.- 1 600,000 will | required to take care 1 of the excrcise of rights which have | been granted for stocks und bonds, | being offered by such companies as {the American Telephone and Tele- the Baltimore and Uhio, apcake and Ohio and Southern railways, and Anaconda Copper.
