extended tour through the southern seas my
rCute Of last took me to PaDgo Pango, the

Tutulla. had seen the French efiSrts at
colonization ID Tahiti, had visited New
Zealand during the festivities arranged for
the Duke and Duchess Of York, and had
made some studies OF social and legislative
conditions botl, there and in New South
Wales. At last was to have the novel
experience of visiting an American tropical
colony, or, as we have chosen to call it, a
naval station, and to compare it with
thesolder colonial systems of the French and
English.
On morning in late July l was up be
times for first glimpse Of Tutulia. the
largest island of American Samoa. Upoa

by motley fiotilla of native boats, and at
the same time craft was noticed putting

and red ssssshess. In the stern Fat several

Because no one would dare to do So,
was the reply.
un again looking over the laws Of Tutnila
l could readily understand that no resident Of
Pango Pango would dare to make this expos.

REPORT OF THE new

Review Of Trade.

New York, April 23.-Wall street: The
stock market opened with quieter tone
than for some time past. The dealings
in individual stocks We're not SO hearty
and the price changes, mostly confined
to fractions, were mixed. Southern p u
chic opened wide at o2A to SIC, CON-
pared with 51Ac last night on sales OK
1000 shares. There were gains of l to
W in Burlington, Manhattan, Anal
gamated Copper and Smelling. Missouri
Pacific sold down ~ and rallied point,
and Continental Tobacco lost IA. The
apparent concerted action by substan-
tlan interests to support the market and
offset any bear aggression tempted by
the 81 100000 gold engagement for export,
resulted in firmer tone, after the open
ing hesltancy. iii the principal active
stocks losses were quickly wiped out,
and st. Paul, Burlington, Baltimore Il
Ohio, Southern Pacific, Northern Pa
cific, Rock Island, Atchison preferred,
Reading, Louisville E. Nashville and
Brooklyn Rapid Transit advanced from
Ito 2R points above yesterdays close.
Trading increased in volume as the rise
progressed, and the short interest which
was considered large yesterday was was
somewhat reduced through nervousness
of the activity of the stocks. A subse-
quent drop of 2ss, to 1924, in St. Paul
checked the general rise, and there was
sharp reaction in the various stocks,
especially Amalgamated Copper, Peo-
pies Gas. Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Bur-
lington, Southern Pacific and Northern
Pacific. Offerings of stocks grew lighte"
when the reaction reached between l
and points in the principal issues. A
squirt upward of from l to 3 points in
Kansas & Texas, American Linseed and
Rubber stocks infused a strengthening
effect on the general market, but prices
did not recover to their hearty level
aside from Burlington, which rose to
1861 and Metropolitan, which touched
116. Speculation generally was quiet
and without the excitement OF yester.
days market.
Bonds We're irregular.
Reaction carried prices lower at 2
o'clock. Prominent stocks among the
Changers, acifics, Trunk lines South
Westerns local fractions and high
priced specialties sold from to points
under yesterdays closing level, ST.
Pauls extreme decline reaching Ak,
Sugar 5A, and others from / to 4 points.
Except for few rallies on recovering
by room shorts, the close was weak
under pressure by heavy selling and at
the lowest generally of the day.
