M. B. Nelson, president, said the company had shown no disposition to get out from under Its indebted ness. "Only economic conditions," he continued, "have made it necessary for ub to ask creditors to be patient and allow us to conserve the assets of the company without additional expense of litigation." "Everybody we owe will receive 100 cents on the dollar, in my opinion. If tney will bo patient. If not every body may lose." .'.!he petition filed ln federal dis trict court here yesterday ln behalf of William O. Hutson Jr., a bond hotter, alleged the company had failed to maintain a sinking fund ratio set forth ln its mortgages. Tho president, who said he had read only newspaper accounts, denied there had been failures of any sort with respect to sinking fund obliga tions. Jesse Andrews, general counsel. s?ld the suit would be contested "thorouehlv" and It "should not stand in the way of carrying out the deposit of bonds." Wall Street Still Abuzz With Debate Over Short Selling NE WYORK Pi No matter what happens In .the way of economic news these days, the argument over short-selling continues to enliven conversation in Wall street as It waits to see what congress will do about investigating the stock exchange. In the event of such Inquiry one thing seems certain that both stock exchange officials and the Investiga tors emphatically and bitterly will tterato their opposition to bear raid ing as distinguished from short soiling. Richard Whitney, president of tho exchange, Is a particular enemy of tho 'bear raider, though he vlg nri.l rt-.fi.nrii! Bhnrt-splllnir as an economic necessity. Short sellers simply sell a stock that they think Is overvalued with the Idea of buying In again when tho stock fails In a normal way; tho ccor raider, on the other Land. OUR JANUARY FURNITURE SALE .

Under the current pro- ccdure short sales must bo so marked as they go to the floor and execution of these orders Is closely supervised. . Mr. Whitney defends normal short selling as essential to a free and open market In that It provides a "cush ion." of buying orders, and represents tho opinion of Informed men on the real value of a stock.
