usual coming from sources recently con-
spicuous IN the opposite account.
The granger shares were especially

fair volume of business at the advance
The coal shares under the influence OF

the better tone elsewhere noticeable.
The belief that a demand of considerable
proportions win arise in the near future
Is growing In conservative circles. and
international issues are being carefully
studied in consequence The drawbacks
due to merely professional operations are
apparent on all sides. and 1t is worthy Of
note that market rarely continues in ene
direction more than thirty-six hours under
such conditions. Some realizing based on
the prospect Of lower prices was q feature
OF the early morning. but for once the de-
mand was superior to the selling.
Unless a broader market intervenes and
an Increase In commission buying is re-
ported, fractional reaction would seem
to be entirely In order. Owing t. certain
conditions, not visible on the surface there
Ii reason for supposing that the decline
would be stayed without significant loss In
prices.
The Cuban difficulty is not likely to take
form preJudicial to values. and little at
tentton Is being given to this subject by
those with the largest financial interests
For the Immediate needs of room traders
sensational oratory on the subject might
force few fractions from present quota

Evidence of an intention to formulate a

This subject. while of vital importance to

FAvoRs PROPOSED DRY DOCKS.
Secretary Long Submits His Views t.
the Senate Naval Affairs Com nmittee,

the senate Naval Affairs Committee.
Secretary Long today sent letter to
Senator Hale. chairman of the naval af-
fairs committee, in reply to the commit
tees request for his views on the bills pro-
v.dinG for the construction of dry docks at
Boston. Mass, and Portsmouth, n Fl. He
indorses both propositions.
THE growing commercial interests Of the
country. as well as the very large increase
of the navy" he says. render 1t evident
that additional provision should be made
in their behalf. There appears no reason
why the navy yards at Portsmouth and
Boston should not be utilized to a much
larger extent than of late years, and every
reason why with the growth of the country
they should not be dispensed with. 1t
seems to be the universal opinion of the
there should be one or more large dry
decks in New England That portion of
our country is more exposed than amy
other to foreign invasion In case of war
the naval and commercial interests of that
region should not be dependent upon one
great dock at New York.
Indeed, just at this time of peace The
accident which has recently befallen the
New York dock shows how very valuable
arCther would be, inasmuch as one or two
of our large battle ships are now waiting,
and important work upon them is delayed
for want of dock sufficiently large for
their accommod odation.''
He suggests that the Boston dock should,
of the two, be the first built, and recon-
mends that it should be 100 feet in length.

Give Their Views.
The question Of the propriety of the en-
actment of a law permitting pooling by
railroads was under consideration today by
the subcommittee of the Senate committee
on interstate commerce appointed for this
purpose, and Messrs. Morrison and Knapp
members of the interstate commerce COM
mission were heard.
The Foraker bill was utilized as a basis
of action. but the members of the COM
mission seemed more favorably inclined
toward the Patterson bill of the last ses-
sion. as originally introduced No conclu-
sion was reached. and another meeting Of
the subcommittee probably will be held be-
.ore any recommendations to the full com
mittee are determined Upon. 1t seems prob
able that the recommendations of the SUBJ
committee Will embody the suggestions Of
the commissioners, and they hope to be
prepared to report their conclusions at the
next regular meeting of the full commit
tee. which will be held Thursday, unless
present plans are altered.
