Foreign Selling in Wall Street To-

EFFECT OF THE TARIFF DISCUSSION
"lndustrials" Likely TO Be InfIu-

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
peciaI Dispatch to The Evening Star

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, April I'm sympathy with
the tenor of early London cables, prices
opened off from IA to Us per cent this
morning, and Immediately relapsed into
dullness Foreign houses were moderate
sellers around initial figures, a circumstance
wholly unexpected by the room.
Prices became steady under the influence
of the professional element, who are still
bullish for a quick turn. Considering the
recent advance in nearly all of the low
priced stocks many of which are bankrupt
and selling above their intrinsic worth, a
reaction at this time would be benefi cial to
the general character of speculation.
The market is not broad enough to war
rant any sustained advance in stocks of the
non dividend paying class, and must react
whenever present holders attempt to liar
ket them.
The reopening Of the tariff debate will
have a depressing effect on the industrial
group and prices, as usual will be made to
reflect Wall streets estimate of the various
speeches on the subject.
Railroad earnings reported today were not
calculated to sustain prevailing opinions as
to the rapid improvement in this important
financial item.
Louisville and Nashville, for example re-
ports a gross decrease for February of
$336,G61 and a net decrease of SIP, IU2, MAX
ing a total decrease for eight months of
$l69,925. Missouri Pacific, it is estimated.
will show a decrease of nearly half mil
lion for March.
The dividend paying roads are showing
encouraging improvement and will soon re-
port increased earnings If present expecta-
lions are realized.
The bear party kept up a persistent ham,
mering during the afternoon, but were
only moderately successful in their efforts
to depress prices. Western Union was an
easy mark. and sold off l per cent on the
renewed operations of a longtime bear.
Chicago Gas succumbed to the selling, in
duced by fears of an adverse decision In
their antitrust suit, losing / per cent to
SO IA Atchison lost 1-2 per cent and Mis-
souri, Pacific gained 3-4.
Cordage was again quite active at an
advance of "a per cent to % Ia The mar
ket for sterling and continental bills opened
steady. with prices fractionally lower for
short sterling.
There was noticeable falling of both
in the demand for and supply of CONT
mental bills. London's selling of our Sc
curities naturally curtai'ed the supply of
bankers bills.
The last hours trading presented no new
features. The market rallied slightly from
the lowest, but closed dull and irregular.

SIX MEN KILLED.
Terrible Result of an Explosion in n Nine
in New Mexico.

RATION, y. NJ, Feb. 24.-At $50
Thursday morning terrific explosion
occurred in the coal mines at Boss
burg, miles southwest of here and
soon band of rescuers were ut work
TO investigate the amount of damage,
and, if possible, give succor TO those
within Six bodies have been recov-
cred, and it is believed that two ltai-
ians who are missing are in the mines
and probably dead Three others
were injured by being burned, bruised
or inhaling fire damp
From the best information obtain
able it is probable the explosion was
caused by gas in an entry being ig-
pited by a miners light. 1t is reported
that Joseph Fathcringill, the fire In
spector, had but few minutes be-
fore the explosion notified William
Graham, the pit boss, that this entry,
which is l I! miles from the opening OF
the mine, was dangerous on account of
being filed with gas. Whether the
pit boss forgot to notify the miners or
they went into the entry without his
seeing them is not known. A coroner's
jury has been impaneled and is taking
evidence.
Luckily only few men were in the
mines on account of it being holiday
or it is believed over a hundred would
have persisted. The Blossburg coal
mines have been operated the past thir
teen years by the Atchison, Topeka s.
Santa Fe company and are the largest
in the territory.
