By HiCNItr Wasiiington, Oct. 29 The pros pect of a British tariff of at least 10 percent, which, appears as the almost inevitable outcome of the sweeping Conservative triumph in England, is viewed with grave disquietude in official circles here.

Edison industries, has a surplus of $7,000,000.

Unofficial estimates placed the value of the corporation at $13,000,000. Although not mentioned in the will, It was learned that Edison gave to his wife before his death the 13-acre Edison estate at Mewelyn Park, N. valued at 200,000. Dlaa't fjaew Owe, 'eriaa Edison frequently stated that he had no Idea bow much he was worth. He said that although, he had reaped rich, financial rewards from Ms inventions he spent it almost as fast as ba got it to finance new experiments.

The value of inventions have been estimated at many times the total amount of money in circulation in the world. Charles- and Theodore Edison were named as executors and also as residuary legatees with full power to distribute the residue among themselves and their brothers and sisters "in such manner as they deem wise and in such, proportion as they think best." There were no charitable bequests. In this connection It was recalled that Henry Ford, one of Edison's most intimate friends, is on record as stating that he will leave nothing to charitable organizations when he rites. tSet LaberMerie All of the inventor's shares of the capital stock of the Thomas A.

The reactions of the past three days have generated hopes of at least a technical rally and most of the buying which lifted prices a bit was based on this contingency. Rail shares were up somewhat at times on hope of news on the freight rate case and wage reductions; Osiris of a point or so, however, were confined to New York Central and other speculative favorites.

They were reduced somewhat by selling inspired by the Central Railroad of New Jersey dividend omission. U. S. Steel, American Can and others were somewhat above recent lows most of the day but were rattier inactive and lacked buoyancy. Most all sections of the list followed a similar course.

Bonds were irregular, grains and cotton steady. Discouraging conditions in domes -tlo business offset the constructive Influence of the British elections.

Harkness Quite Bar Body, Hits Deal O.K. Trvo Other Resignations Revenled Since (roup Backed Bench Dicker Three resignations have followed the Brooklyn Bar Association's in-dorsmenc of John H.

Harkness, a Republican and a former member of the State Transit Commission. Harkness' letter, written Tuesday, consisted of this one sentence: "Please accept my resignation." "My prompt action speaks for it-jelt" was his only comment today. Harkness' resignation was the only one of the three received yesterday which could definitely be ascribed to dissatisfaction with the action taken Monday, Gross said. "The other two might have quit for similar reasons but there in nothing in their letters to indicate It." he said. These three resignations bring to five the total to leave the Bar Association since its failure to denounce the 7-5 Bench barter.

Seelman, former member of the Appellate Division's Committee on Character and Fitness, and Paul Wlndels, former leader of the 4th A. D. At the time he quit, Wlndels explained: "My resignation was prompted by my deep dissatisfaction with the Bar Association for Its failure to take action with respect to the identical tickets named as a result of the deal between Democrats and Republicans."
