NEW YORK. April 10

NEW YORK. April TO-
A slightly lower range of values was scored
to-day owing to the lack of active demand. The
room traders continued disposed to take prof
its and short selling probably formed large
part of the days transactions. There was no
particularly new influence in the way of devel
opments likely to affect values except that the
foreign exchanges are still hardening, and there
is some promise of gold exports to France by
the end of the week. The subsistence of the re-
cent demand for American securities by Europe
is responsible for the rise in rates of exchange,
but unless there should be a change In the mer-
chandise balance, which favorS this country, or
a renewal of foreign sales of securities the
amount of gold that may be shipped is not like
ly to be large. The fear of important damage Is
leading to more realiZations on Western railway
shares, while the tariff controversy remains as
a factor that prevents the restoration of conf
dent movement in general business. Neyerthe-
less the indications point to slow expansion,
and unless the retrogade movement should be
caused by unexpected occurrences it Is not
probable that the generally hopeful sentiment
will be seriously disturbed. The belief in the
sound position of the national finances and the
possibility of failure of radical tariff altera-
lions at this session of Congress furnish an ull-
deriving basis of confidence which prevents any
pressure of stocks. Until there is more free Of
fering of stocks we do not look for any import
ant changes in the market, and on any fresh
bear raids we are inclined to think that good
stocks may be bought safely.

ton of why Carroll is not allowed the same
privileges as the others. Another Is that
he gets into trouble with bis patrons and
thus permits his game to become too noto-
rious to be overlooked.
There is a small faro layout on Kearny
street near California. and big one on
Market str eet not very far from the Bald
win Hotel.
Phil Howell, the well-known book
maker, is said to be making arrangements
to open up big game on Kearny street
near Nose Gunst's store.
Any number of small faro games are
in operation in various parts of the city,
blu: it is not known that they are a part of
the Buckley system. 1t is rather to be
inferred that they are not, because they
are run on the sly, while the big games go
on in blaze of light and in well-known
places, where they can be readily reached
aud easily entered from the main streets.
And this Is the hand of Chris Buckley,
a part of what might have been expected
in the event OF his again becoming a boss.
1t is said that Chris is not so much afraid
of San Quentin after all, and really since
he personally directed the election frauds,
and since he has made himself the patron
Of Dame Fortune in defiance of the law, it
would seem that he has grown bold again
and laughs at locks.

A SALARY MATTER.
Leeds Continuance Rests
Thereon.
He Wants $4,000 Year, but Ger
tain Association Members Object
to Paying That Amount.

Tomorrow morning the matter OF Mr.. Leeds
continuing with the Traffic Association in the
capacity of manager will be definitely settled
bv the executive committee. The question was
submitted to a subcommittee. and the whole
solution OF IL rests upon the amount or salary
to be paid the gentleman named. The commit
tee has proposed reduction To him. 1t IL as
serted, and he has refused to give such propo.
sttion consideration. IL MIR. Leeds will accept
a considerable reduction from the sum now
paid him, there is not the slightest dOuDt tnat
he can retain his Office. but II lie persists In his
demand for a continuance of his present salary
of $4,000 year there is good reason TO be-
lieve that there will be rupture
There is said to be marked diversity OF
opinion among the members OF the Trafhc
Association as to what course should be pur-
sued, ana 1t Is noticeable that Mr.. Leeds ap-
pears To be stronger among The members OIL tne
association outside Of the executive committee
than he does with the members OF that body
although it Is not intended hat the impression
should De conveyed that he Is iacKlDg IN 1rlends
in that committee
/ His friends assert that Ii would be suicidal
for the association TO let MIR. Leeds go at this
luncIure. although they are very careful IN
their utterances on the subject that their names
shall not be publicly connected with remarks
Of that tenor.
"The simple truth is that Mr.. Leeds is the
only man who can successfully carry through
the San Joaquin Valley ROAD proposition said
one of these gentlemen Yesterday, land L say
this with ali due respec for the ability OF many
OF tHc OtDeT gentlemen WHO al o dSooCidtou WIN
the project. Leeds Is familiar with every phase
OF the situation, possesses the confidence OF the
people to whom we are to look for assistance
and Is bitterly hated by The Southern Pacific
people, than which we could ask no better
recommended ion as TO his fitness ana capaDillty
for the proposed work. Ii the railroad propo-
sition falls through with the Traffic Association
we might just as well shut up shop, as that IS
the proposition upon the success or failure OF
which rests all its future possibilities. know
these are PLAIN words, but it is a time for US TO
look the issues before us squarey In the face.
A couple of thousand dollars or so ayear should
not stand in The way OF re-employ ing Mr.. Leeds
when 1t is so manifest that his services are In
dispensabe."
The full list of members necessary to insure
a continuance of the Traffic Association has
about been secured. 1t is stated there only re-
naming a small number required 10 make the
total sufficient to meet all expenses at the pro
rata scale agreed upon These few needed

A MYSTERY CLEARED.
How Forger Handbook Got the Check.
Cigars and PeDsiu.


Edward Handbook appeared in Judge Con.
lan's court yesterday morning to answer TO the
charge OF forgery and the preliminary examina-
ton was fixed for to. morrow.
The mystery OF how the check was stolen
from Dallemand & Co.'s cash drawer was
cleared up yesterday by Detective Ross Whit
taker, which will lead to charge OF grand lar
ceny being also placed against Handbook.
The detective found that Handbook had OBJ
tanned the Keys OF vacant premises next to Dal-
lemand q Co.'s store, to which he gained in
gress by window. In the adjoining house
the detective found two packages. They were
Doth wrapped IN paper, but one OF them mad

sale drugstore for placing over drugs, wrapped
around IT, On the cover was the name In

IN Handbook handwriting.
One OF the packages contained seventeen
Id ge potuIeS OF peDslD, most expensive drug.
The other contained TWO boxes OF cigars
"Elleanore" brand, and seven twoounce bot
ties OF perfume, two being broken. Captain
Lees is satisfied that these articles have been
stolen from some wholesale drugstore as all
the retail druggists In the city combined would
not have The quantity OF pepsin found In the
package.
There is only one William Hickman in the
directory. He IS the druggist for the medical
department or the University OF California, 155
New Montgomery street. Detective Whitaker
saw MI. HICKMAN and he said lie knew moth
ing OF handbook, and the university medical
department only kept very small quantity OF
pepsln in stock.
Since dambrock's arrest Captain Lees has
received letters from several retail druggists
