New York, January 16.-Commercial
Advertisers London financial cable
gram:
The markets here to-day were active
aid good, though the closing was If
regular. Americans began strong and
remained firm with strong buying of
Fries until New York opened, when the
bears sold freely, causing a temporary
reaction. There was good support,
however, and the close was near the
top. There was an active interchange
of business. but it is still noticeable
that the public is realizing. though the
market is bullish to a man.

New York, January 16.-The week

irregular net changes, loss prevailing.
London, it was estimated. sold alto
gether Z 5000 shares here, nearly half
of that amount in the first quarter of
an hour. There was no news market
wise of any Importance. Standard
stocks were in heavy demand in the
forenoon, all the grangers making new
records for high prices. The evidence
of support to leading stocks was fol-
lowed by bursts of strength elsewhere
after a period of hesitancy in the early
dealings. There was a rise in Federal
Steel on the continued good demand
for iron products, but the advantage
gained was not fully retained. Among
other specialties where renewed inter
est was displayed were Metropolitan,
Consolidated Gas, Leather preferred
and American Steel. while Air Brake
made a sensational advance Of II
points. The Pacific stocks were weak
all day. The heavy London selling was
of assistance to many board room trad
erS in bringing about a reaction in the
final dealings, although earlier in the
day when prices were offered down
there was an increase of buying instead
of selling orders brought into the mar
ket. 1t was in the last half hour that
practically all of the earlier gains in
the market were lost and in a number

tivity to-day was toward the close,

The Truth a. to Export Prices-Great
Hows Demand Relieves Manufactur-
err " Necessity of Sending Goods
Abroad TO BE Sold at Loss.


The sale to foreign consumers OF
American manufactured products at a
lower price than American consumers
are required to pay is one OF the prin-
cipal counts In the indictment which
free traders bring against the Ameri-
can policy of protection. Indeed. this,
together with the claim that trusts are
fostered and promoted by. protection, Is
almost the only ground of attack re.
naming for the free traders. The
splendid facts Of a revived domestic
trade, and of a general condition Of I'M
precedented prosperity growing out of
the restoration of protective tariff,
these great facts are so patent and so
indlsputable that the free trader Of to-
day IL reduced to the extremity of op-
posing protection on two pretexts only,
that of responsibility for trusts, and
that Of enabling our. manufacturers to
make big profits on the goods they sell
at home while selling the same class of
goods to foreigners at much lower
prices.
The frs. of these indictments-that
relating 10 the trusts-is easily dispos-
ed Of by the proof that trusts thrive In
free trade Great Britain fully as well
as in protected America, and that the
most powerful Of all our domestic
trusts arc those which are not In the
