The Sfoci Karksts.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE changes in
stock quotations for the day were unimport-
ant. The market showed strength most of
the day under repeated efforts on the part
of the bears to depfess prices although as
sisted by sales. of some, $4,000 shares Of
stock for Londcns account. was of little avail
and prices worked upward generally until the
last hour when previous gains for the day
were practically wiped out. The highest
prices of the day were made about noon, the
standard shares showing handsome gains.
Although there had been such large volume
OF sales for London, tnternationals at this
time were about last. nights close. The
market was under pressure, but the varia-
tons were fractional. Commission houses had
many selling orders. but after scins minutes
the demand more than equalled the sup
plies. Traders who sold early then bought,
and in the final dealings reversed their posi-
ton by again selling.
Several Of the largest houses were open
ly large buyers in the second hour. When
prices eased off In the late dealings. com
mission house business diminished. The
Readings were strong on story that the
leading interests in the coal trade purposed
bringing about a., workable business arrange
ment between the different coal companies
that would conduce to harmony in the trade.
Peoples Gas and Tobacco were conspicuous
for strength, as were also some OF the low
priced railroad shares and some CT the minor
specialties. New York Air Brake today took
a violent plunge of some 1919 points of which
it recovered only 3A. The selling was on a
report that the Westinghouse suit had been
about one quarter below the million shares
mark which had, been common of late.

PHILIPPINE COMMISSION.
Will Make a Preliminary Report
Before the End Of the Week.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The mem
bers of the Philippine Commission will
make a preliminary report to the Pres
ident before the end of the week, and
it is understood the report will be i'm
mediately given to the public.
The President personally summoned
the Commissioners and an hour was
spent in consultation, during which he
explained the points he desired covered
in the preliminary report. 1t may be
weeks, possibly months, before the CON-
plete report is ready
Professor Schurman, who is Presi-
dent of the commission, said after the
members left the White House that
the report to be made this week would
cover certain phases OF the situation
which the President desired cleared up
at this time.
When asked if the report would touch
upon the so-called Sulu treaty, Pro-
fessor Schurman replied in the mega
tive. THAT was purely a military ar
rangement,' he said, with which the
commission had nothing to do"
Secretary Hay and Secretary Root
were present at the conference.
The Commissioners made a full ver-
bal report to the President. forecasting
in brief the formal report that is 70
be prepared Each of the members
talked in turn not only upon the gen
eral features of the forthcoming report,
but each treating more in detail of a
certain line of subjects upon which he
was more fully informed than his col
leagues, for it appears that the COM
mission while in the Philippines took
the course of dividing into sub-com-
mittees Of one each assuming a special
branch of inquiry.
The significant feature of to-day's
conference was the revelation that the
commission is absolutely unanimous in
it's view respecting the proper line OF
treatment of the islands.
A member of the Cabinet, speaking of
the verbal report, said: I'm advance of
the completion Of the report it is not
deemed proper to make any statement
relative to the nature of the commits
sions disclosures to the President this
morning beyond the general one that
they tend to confirm the Administration
at every point on the course of the
treatment it has outlined for the island,
and to remove the last doubt as to the
attitude that the Government should
assume on the question of the reten-
| ton of the archipelago
