The speculation to-day was moderately active, but
there was more disposition TO sell than to buy and
prices deciinsd ii. The news was. In the main, of q
bulllsh nature. Liverpool was higher. the receipts at
the ports were light, the exports were fairly large. the
spot markets I'm this country werc generally steaiy.
out and prices receded. Some stop loss orders were
reached. which accelerated the decline. There was
some buying at the decline for outside and Southern
account, but the demand was small and prices closed
ut about the lowest figures OF the day. IL Is believed
by some that with more favorable weather the re-

Engraving Bureau Employees.

To the EIltor of The Evening Star:
In view of the fact that some of your
readers. who do not know the facts, may
be influenced by the statements in the
letter of the officers of the American Pro-
tectve Association, extracts from which
appeared recently in your paper. l think
1t only fair that the true conditions re-
speeding the bureau of engraving and
printing should be known. All places in
the bureau except laborers and charwo-
mer are il the classified service, and an
pointments thereto can only be made upon
certiiiCation by the civil service commits
sion. Laborcrs and ctarwomcn are an
pointed by the Secretary of the Treasury
and without any action on the part of I "A
officers of the bureau. During the past
twenty-five years the chiefs of this bu-
reau have been George Il. McCartee Henry
A Jewell, Edward Mcpherson. O. H. Irish.
/. y. Burrill, Edward o. Graves VIM NJ
Meredith and Claude NJ Johnson. Is it
reasonable to suppose that these men
could be forced into making appointments
such as charged in the letter referred to
particularly such men as Edward McPher,
