Bradstreet's Financial Review

NEW YORK, May 7.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
While current stock speculation retains
its chief characteristics the absence of
public participation, the predominance
Of professional manipulation and mar
rowness that frequently deserves, the
name of stagnation has not been with
out considerable interest throughout the
week. The principal incident was the
announcement on Tuesday that the
modification Of the Dingley tariff, as re-
ported by the senate finance committee
included In its provisions a concession to
the sugar refining industry. 1t gave the
signal for heavy covering, not only in
American sugar but in other parts of
the list. Wednesdays reports from
Washington indicated that the modified
sugar schedule would encounter strong
opposition and probably be defeated in
the house Of representatives. There was
a cooling off In enthusiasm in regard to
sugar and other stocks which was caused
by the fact that small bear traders had
been driven to cover and that other buy
ing power was totally lacking. Fears of
the rejection of the arbitration treaty
by the senate Gas proved to be the case)
mad bad effect on Americans in Lon
don' creating some further disposition
to sell on Wednesday afternoon, though
the incident seemed to be almost entirely
disregarded there. In fact, London,

part In the trading here that 1t could
not be considered speculative factor.
