MN YORK STOCKS
Steel Stocks Disappointed
Speculrlors Yesterday.
THEY REMAINED WEAK
Heavy Influx of National Bank
Notes Is Noticeable.

New York. Jan. 24.-The realizing Of
speculative profits proceeded steadily to-
day al resulting expense OF prices
The only variation from the downward
course was due 10 purely technical
causes. Even the opening advance in
prices was largely due 10 manipulation
which began IN the London market on
cabled orders from here before the mar
ket in New York opened. The general
sseadiness in the London market helped
this purpose. The rapid recuperation in
the condition OF the Bank OF England
and the continued ease OF money there
in spite OF large withdraw walls from the
market by the bank. points 10 an early
reduction n the Bank OF England rate.
The opening prices OF stocks here proved
IN most cases to be the highest. The
weakness Of the steel stocks, which De
gan from the opening. proved a q sap
pointment for those spectators who had
hoped that the group would assume the
leadership OF a new advance in prices be-
cause OF TIE strength shown by The lead
ing steel stocks late yesterday. Yester-
days advance proved sufficient 10 bring
81 buying orders and the speculative
hackers of these stocks seemed indis-
posed 10 offer very vigorous support The
coterie which bought stocks on Monday
were credited with selling 10 realizA and
there were large selling orders all day.
which were attributed TO Chicago ac-
count The reported illness Of the larg
est individual operator IN the Street and
who has been supposed TO be long on
stocks, had considerable influence on SEN
timent. but the real basis Of the reaction
was the failure 10 attract any renewed
outside speculation as clearly demon
strated by the market decline in the a.
tivity in the market Some attention
was given 10 the reports of friction be
tween the English and Russian adnirals
in Chinese waters. The days statement
of treasury operations reflected the paw
ments on account Of gold withdrawn
from the assay office for export which
more than wiped out the week previous
gain BY the banks. A notable feature OF
the current money situa ton is the heavy
Iefux Of national hank notes. Yester-
days treasury statement shows that re-
ceipts OF bank notes for current redemp-
tton thus far this month have amounted
to $40. se160s
Closing prices OF stocks were as fol
lows:

Speaking 10 a pro former amendment,
". A Smith, Claich) brought up at the
opening OF the days session the aoroga-
ton Of the treaty Of 1S17 prohibiting the
maintenance OF war vessels upon the
sreat lakes Mr. Smith said that the
treaty was ar imposition upon the com
mercial interests Of lakes TIE treaty
was originally made in the interests Of
peace and was very properly negotiated
The reasons which the pen existed have
passed away. he desired 10 see the ship
yards OF the great lakes par
ticipate in the building Of war
ships. Mr.. Mann qlL) opposed the abr
cation Of the treaty. If We built var
ships On the lakes England must have a
similar privilege. she could build great
ships there. which would threaten The
cities on the American side and the whole
commerce Of the lakes. The treaty, he
argued, was absolutely essential 10 tire
safety of the cities OF the lakes IN case
of ar with Great Britain
Mr. Boutelle CID was in favor Of
mediah ton Of the treaty in the interests
OF the naval reserve. so as 70 permit the
maintenance Of one small armed vessel
on the upper lakes and one on the lower.
The treaty also should be modified, he
argued. so as 10 permit both parties to
the compact to build warships Of any
class. TO be taken 10 tide water.
Mr. FOss. in charge OF the bill, said the
question Of a medication of ne treaty
of 1877 was discussed by the government
commission a few years ago II was a
matter for the state department, not the
naval committee to consider.

7gac, influenced BY Liverpool cables,
which ignored the advance here yester-
day. While the Liverpool market was
again open, business. there was al a
standstill. and This condition had much
to do in the dullness which pervaded the
local pit during the forenoon. There
was some fairly important buying by
bulls on the falling off in northwest re-
ceipts, but scalpers were bearish and d
most of the selling, the market thus be-
ing confined to local hands. May rallied
during the forenoon to 75c but trade was
dull. Later trade was more active, some
early sellers covering because of lighter
receipts at primary western points and
seabOard clearances Of $4,000 bushels in
wheat and -four. May ascended to -52sc

Primary receipts were $4,000 bushels,

FRYE WASN'T WRITTEN OUT
General Wood says so bat zTr. Frye
Denies 1t


Boston, Jan GA special 70 the Tran
script from Havana reports an interview
with Governor General Wood regarding
the statements recently made BY Alexis
p FRYE, formerly superintendent Of
schools in Cuba, relative 70 the rea sons
for the Iatter's resignation. General
Wood declares that Mr.. Frye might have
remained in Cuba. within the distinct
sphere Of influence for which his ,sm
permanent and thinking fitted him, and he
so desired; but adds that ne believes that
the measures he has taken are the ones
best adapted 70 secure the -esults for
which the American people are looking.
The governor general denies that Mr..
Frye was written OUT Of Cuba By the
new law.
The position OF General Wood as fur
Their outlined is to the effect that Mr..
Frye's usefulness lay in the field Of peda-
gogdcs and not as the administrative head
of the school system, which necessarily
must be carried on in harmony with the
general system Of military administration.
In an interview today Mr.. Frye said:
1T was the purpose of General Wood.
because I was not a military officer. to
remove me from the head Of schools IN
Cuba, in order to put in my place q mill
tary officer. that officer being Lieutenant
Hanna For that reason ne passed the
law which wrote me out Of Cuba and gave
the schools completely over TO military
control.
In regard to General Woods Intirna-
ton that the new school law Is giving ex-
cellent satisfaction I now suggest that
with the new law school expenses arc not
reduced by a single penny. 1t has in
creased the paid officials by fifteen, lot
including school teachers"
