pr.

He then announced that there would be a reception in the evening at the Young Mems Christian association, given by the ladies of the New Orleans Presbyterian churches All the commis- soners and visitors were cordially invited by the ladies to be present.
 The courtesies of the Young Mems Chris- tan association were extended the dele gates during their sojourn here. For con- venience sake and as the visitors were scat tered all over a great city, and as it was perhaps little long for the delegates to wait from breakfast at 8 o'clock to dinner at o'clock the ladies would each day, en- certain them with luncheon in artillery hail. He suggested that it would be good plan for the assembly to meet at 9:30 o'clock in the morning and continue in session until 1 o'clock; take luncheon and reconvene at 2, thus having a chance to remain in session until o'clock if neces- Sary,

 The passing over of the paragraph relat- ing to the affixing of stamps to proprietary articles led MT. Mantle of Montana to make an inquiry concerning the stamp tax on manufactured tobacco.
 MT. Allison expressed the opinion that to- bacco now in stock ought to be taxed if such a tax could be levied eonstitutionally. The objection to this was that the tobacco on hand, if taxed, could not be sold in com petition with tobacco subsequently, manu- fractured. This. he said was the considera- tfon that induced the committee to strike out the house provision. Referring to the tax on druggists supplies now on hand, MT. Allison said that all senators had re- ceiyed letters urging that the stamp tax be not levied upon stocks on hand. MT. Allison said many druggists were willing to place the stamps upon articles when they were sold, although they objected to being forced to go through their stocks and stamp articles. He believed, too, that the stamp ought to be placed on articles when sold at wholesale.
 Daniels on Tobacco
 MT. Daniel of Virginia, speaking upon the tobacco schedule, expressed his gratihca- tion that the senate committee had stricken out the house provision subjecting stocks on hand to the additional tax
 MT. Bacon thought the retroactive feature in every part of the bill unjust and ought to be eliminated. Mir Aldrich pointed out that if the articles in the hands of retail CTS were not taxed 1t was absolutely cer- tain that none of the articles would be in the hands of the manufacturers on the day the bill became law. In answer to MT Bacon, MT. Aldrich said he had seen In a trade paper the statement that the amount of the stamp tax on stocks now In mana would amount to s150900Oo
 MT. Clay said he had a number Of letters from Georgia druggists protesting against the proposed tax on stock on hand.
 After the reading of the committee amendments relating to excise taxes on persons, firms, companies and corporations, the bill was laid aside until tomorrow. On motion of MT. Allison, at 4:55 p. m.. the senate went into executive session. At 5:30 the senate adjourned

duce-Review of Trade.

New York. March e.-Trading on the
stock exchange was listless all day with
the exception of an early burst of ac
tivity. There were buying orders at the
opening, and there was the additional in
centive OF a sharp recovery of Ameri-
cans on the London exchange, that
the professional traders who were seek
ing the vulnerable points in the armor of
the bear contingent succeeded in bidding
UP prices TO uncover margins OF some OF
the shorts. The resulting scramble to
cover caused the rise. which was most
marked in the specialties. but which ex-
tended up to point also in the railway
list.
One important failure resulted from the
squeeze of shorts. After the reduction of
the short interest prices sagged with only
occasional slight interruptions during the
remainder of the day In the late deal
ings the level of the market had fallen
practically to last nights level, but
hardening at the close resulted in a small
gain throughout the list. The progress
of a periodical settlement on the London
exchange caused some buying here for
that account.
The feverish and uncertain tone of the
foreign markets was more or less reflect
ed here. The weakness of foreign ex-
changes on reports of internal trouble in
Brazil also had its influence in unsettlng
the local stock markets. Realizing in
New York Central after the declaration of
the regular quarterly dividend had a de-
pressing influence on the list The con-
tinued engagement of gold for import had
no influence in view of the hardness of
the money rates, the stiffening of time
loans and the increased actions of ten
ders on mercantile paper both here and
at other domestic centers Foreign ex-
change continued weak. The actual rate
for demand sterling fell to $i.S37s and the
posted rates were reduced l2c both for
long and short sterling. There was. in
spite of stiffening of the discount rate
in London. which was. however.
hected in rise of sterling exchange both
at Paris and Berlin.

day and there were some recessons from
early prices, but the tone was firmer than
in stocks. Total sales 81. 400. 600. U. S. new

Great Falls. March 9-Several days
ago the friends who live in this city of
George III. Hotchkiss were notified that
he was dangerously i'll, but as the re-
port was followed by another in a
short time stating that he was improv-
ing and that an expected operation
would not have to be performed, they
felt treasured. Consequently the tele-
gram which came last night announc-
ing the death was a very great shock.

seven years ago and went into business

New York. March a.-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
To-day's settlement in the stock market
here revealed "A comparatively small
amount on account of the recent licui-
dations and considering the dearness Of
money, contangoes were fairly light. This
was most noticeable in Americans where
the contangoes were to 5Ia per cent. The
settlement in that market shows that as
a result OF the recent heavy liauidations
the account is either smaller than for
months past or else the stock has gone
into much stronger hands. AT the same
time the recent shake-out was so severe
that undoubtedly the next initiative will
have to come from New York A weak
ness in the bull account was disclosed in
Grand Trunk where the contangoes were
as high as 90 per cent. The general tone
in all the markets was better and calmer
to-day. but the close was not under the

BUSINESS men MEET
Many Wool Growers Threaten
to Leave Great Falls.
WANT MORE WAREHOUSES;
The Great Northern Has Promised to
Give Better Accommodation
rangements Made for Greater
81 Storing Capacity.

Great Falls, March 9.-Yesterday eve
ming there was a meeting of the MEM
berS of the Business Mems association
in the city council chamber 1t was the
second meeting of the members which
has been held, but owing to the engage
ment of Daniel Sully at the opera house
there was not very good attendance.
The proceedings were merely relation
by the secretary of all that had been
accomplished by the executive COM
mittee. Among other matters he spoke
of the wool buying and shipping at this
point. Great Falls has held the first
rank as an initial wool-market so long
thai sometimes her citizens seem to
think that she will always hold it, but
as the secretary stated and as many
people here know of their own expert
enee there was much dissatisfaction
expressed last summer by the wool
growers who had strained a point to
bring their wool, many of them, to this
point rather than to Billings, which
was nearer point. The secretary
stated that last summer the Great
Northern had promised to double the
present capacity of the wool warehouse
and had failed to keep its promise. The
consequence, as was pointed out by the
local papers last summer, there was
considerable loss to the growers because
their clips had to stand out in the rain
ana gel soaked with water NOW many
of the big woolgrowers threaten to give
Great Falls the go-by the next season
unless they can be positively assured of
better accommodations. The secretary
stated that he had written all of these
facts to the second vice president of the
road, Mr.. Newman, and that he had re-
ceived a reply from the gentleman in
which he was assured that the company
had already arranged for an increase in
the storage capacity and that the work
would be done in time so as to allow of
the fact being spread among the dssat-
isfied wool growers.
The secretary further stated that he
had written to the manufacturers of
wool-scouring machinery in the East
and found that it was possible to erect
a plant at this point which would be
able to scour a sample of every clip
brought to this market, and show accu-
rately just how much it would shrink
for about $1,000. He had apprsed by
letter number of the wool growers OF
this vicinity of the fact and of the adj
yantages to be obtained by such scour-
ing. With such a plant at this point
every wool grower could determine
within a fraction of a cent whether the
price bid on his clip correspondent with
the Eastern price or not. All he lacked
was the shrinkage for the freight in
surance rates and the like were fixed
and well known. While it was too early
to obtain a reply to his letters il was
probable that the growers would grasp
the situation and take steps to put in
such plant.
