Stock Market (Complete Steck Exchange and Curb Quotations Appear Dafly in Wall Street Final Edition of The Evoning World.) Professional stock market traders to-day continued to maintain a Dear- igh attitude regarding the price out~ look and resumed attempts to bring about a lower level of values, It was noticeable, however, that they were meeting with much more stubborn re- sistance than has been the case dur- ing the last few days To-day’s attack centred largely on the motor shares. During the first hour of trading losses in this group extended to more than a point. But {in other parts of the list the amault ‘on prices was unproductive of desired resulte. Much of the selling came from Southern resorts where several of the largest bear operators are now 60- journing, and it is from these resorts ‘hat many of the irresponsible bear rumors have recently emanated. ‘There have ‘been repeated rumors of important dividend reductions, ot suspension of c-edit by banka to bis mercantile concerns, and also reports that certain big industrial corpora- tions seeking loans can only secure them by stipulating that they will drastically revamp executive man- agement and defer disbursements to shareholders from two to three years. These reports have had the effect of building up an extraordinarily Jarge short interest in the market which in the abeence of public de- mand for etocks is proving to be a wastaining influence of the first !m- portance. The borrowing demand tor stocks in the loan crowd, which is always an accurate index of the ize of the short interest, has been growing with each succeeding day, and to-day a premium was asked on Crucible Steel, Sears Roebuck and American Sugar. There is, as a matter of fact, a large short interest in all of the important sugar shares. And an uncommonly large sbort in- terest bas been built up in the oil and motor issues. ‘There was little in the actual news ot the day to influence prices. Money continued to renew at 8 per cent, but the demand for funds for purposes of stock speculation bas been dwin- Gling, and with the return of money from the intertor, which ia ‘being at- tracted by the high rates prevailing here, it is now expected that the re- newal rate will be lowered during the early part of next week. Steel shares were comparatively _ Gull and steady to-day. Atiantic Gulf, after declining fractionally and equal- ling the low price of the year, rallied more than two points.

Circumstances of a strange domes- tier discord, repressed and obscured for eight years, must be told in ex- amination before trial of a will con- test, according to decision handed down to-day by Surrogate John P. Foley, whioh denies application of Moses Ira Mendel of No, 103 West 55th Street for revocation of an order directing him to answer questions as to just what his relations were with Mrs. Mary E. Curiel, who died June| 7, 1920, at her home, No, 103 West 55th Street, leaving her husband $1,000, her physician $1,500, her maid $600 and the residue of her estate to Mendel. Herman A, Curlel, the husband, who is contesting the will, which he says he saw first after the death of his wife, declares in an affidavit filed with the papers in the will contest that Mendel, an unsuccessful suitor of his wife before he married her, entered into their lives eight years ago, destroying their domestic con- cord and bis happiness. Mendel, the unsuccessful suitor, answers, on_the other hand, that Curiel treated Mrs. Curiel cruelly and that the sweet- heart of his younger days finally came to bim and confided to him her sorrow. Curiel relates that his wife made a will several years ago, making him her gale legatee and the exeoutor of she instrument. He was astounded, ade says, to find that his wife, by the wil which Mendal gave to him, cut | him off with $1,000, emplaining that she had given him $35,000 during her ifetime, and wished him to have no | (urther share in her substance, and | to find that she had made Mendel her | began a contest of the will. } br. Sion Newton Leo, who also | ived at the same addreas as the | Curiels, was the physician to benefit | by the legucy of $1,500. Mary Barrett, Curiel, in his affidavit, says that | nonious for thimeen years, during which time he, by his business abi! ity, conserved and caused to grow the fortune which Mrs. Curiel in- herited from her father, Herman Bisner. Then, he says, there came nto their happy family circle the re- jected suitor, Moses Mendel. Mendel, during the succeeding eight years, says Curiel, was constantly in| the company of Mrs. Curie, taking | trips with her to Well known bathing | resorts, among them Saratoga Springs and Atlantic City. Mendel must an- swer questions concerning these trips, and also tell what he knows concerning the drawing of Mrs.! Curiel's will, Mendel, in his answering affidavit, admits that he was an old admirer of Mrs, Curiel, He says that Curiel treated his wife cruelly and squan- dered her money and that she called upon him for comfort. The trips which she took, he says, were made at the direction’ of her physician and he accompanied her because Curiel was detained in the city by business. These trips. Mendel continues, were | made with the full knowledge and consent of the husband, and he cites levter written to him by Curiel, Jan, 5, 1913, from Rochester, N. Y. in which Curie! says: “I resist the efforts of my friends and associates to get me to join their clubs or visit their homes, I prefer my present loneliness to every kind of entertainment while she is ill, hoping and praying for her speedy recovery and that she will bring back with her her férmer sunny disposition, Feel- ing assured you are a man of honor, I raise no objection for courtesies | shown her, and I thank you for| them."
