FAILURES
On Wall Street Did not Prevent Ad-
vance Of Prices.
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
New York, June S.--A strong ad.
vance in prices of stocks on the day
of the failure of an important stock
exchange house and on the day fol-
lowing the failure of clearing house
bank is an anomaly in Wall street.
The early strength was due to the
explanation that tho accounts OF TIN
failed firm, which was closed out ul-
der the rule were almost wholly on Tho
short side of the market. That is to
say, stocks had to be bought under the
rule to close the contract, thus Great
ing forced demand which kept up
prices. The firms account covered a
fair assortment of about fifteen of the
principal speculative stocks on the
Exchange and the total number OF
amounted to 21,200.
While the settlement of the firms
stock exchange contracts was in pro-
gress other business was almost at a
standstll and after the settlement was
completed mosta active covering move
ment began, closing strong. Prices
were quite generally point or more
above last nights The most conspic-
uous stocks of the advance were Atch-
ison and St. Paul, which gained 2a
each. Among the specialties there
were gains of 21s to 3al.
The bond market was dull but prices
advanced. U. S. bonds unchanged.

1t is believed that conditions in the
near future warrant their inclusion.
FILIP1Nos FAVORED.
The selection of skilled and unskilled
laborers has been left to the heads Of
the several departments or officers with
certain conditions as to certifying the
facts on which any removals may be
based. While 1t is believed that the
board will in time find 1t advisable to ac-
cept applications for employment as Ia
oorers, and to subject the applicants to
tests of fitness, it is not seen how, under
existing conditions this can be done.
The questions of ascertaining the fit
ness of employees now in the service will
be considered by the board at the earliest
practical date. At the beginning of the
civil administration. says the report, it
is essential that the service should not be
embarrassed by the presence of incompe-
tent employees. The act, while giving
preference to natives, still safeguards
the service by requiring that they shall
pass their examinations sufficiently high
to have their names certified for appoint
ment. The commission says that natives
round to have the capacity for positions
now held by Americans should be adj
Yanced as rapidly as possible.
The Filipinos, the report says, have
aptitude and q desire for knowledge. The
report described the civil service act as
method to prevent unworthy persons
from securing admission to the service
and to promote economy, efficiency and
honesty in the transaction of public bus
mess, which is desired in the future gov
eminent of these islands, so that the
people may have the fullest measure Of
good government at the least expense to
themselves.
The board invites suggestions at any
time from persons in the public service.
as well as from unofficial sources.
