SCRAMBLE TO TAKE PROFITS
CAUSES SHARP REACTION.
THROWS DISCREDiT ON CHAR
ACTER OF UPWARD TURN.
Suspicion Has Long Existed That
Much Buying Has Been for
Pool Interests.

New York. July S-Something very Tx a
scramble to take profits at the end OF the
day served 10 throw some discredit upon
the character Of the days movement in
stocks. which had reached considerable pro-
portions. and with a semblance Of much
more substantial character than anything in
the recent course of the market. Spots OF
strength were more numerous and the we'll
established diyidend-paying stocks were
foremost in the trading. The orders from
sinZE commission houses and the Individual
biocA taken OF some OF the hlgh-graos
railroad stocks fairly warranted an INFER
elce OF investment buying, supposed to be
reinveStment OF resources made available
by the July disbursements on the part Of
inside or controlling interests in some OF the
properties. Such buying was manifest in
New York Central and Chicago and North
western. This probably had more than any
ing Of suspicion which has been persist
emily felt toward the whole recent upward
movement.
Reaction Revfves Old Suspicious.
The reaction at the close OF the day re-
vired these suspicious: and the large pro-
portion Of the days buying orders which
were for Western account kept alive the
~supposition that the Western contingent
were actively manipulating the market, IN
connection with the renewed pressure upon
tho shorts in July corn The special
revival Of old rumors OF control Of that
property by Union Pacific. The soft-coal
Carriers were taken on Inc demonstrated
benefit they are receiving from the paralysis
OF the anthracite coal traffic. This move
ment embraced some of the common stocks
Of Morgan reorganizetions. including South
ern Railway and Erie. but the Readings
and anthracite carriers generally were al
most s~tagnapt-
Foreign Exchange Rate Says.
A marked influence was caused upon senti-
ment by the sagging Of the foreign ex-
change rate away from the gold export
point, after tentative arrangements had act
uaiiy been made for 4 shipment on Thurs
day This sterling rate at Paris also raj
lied The gold export was averted by the
renewed offerings Of bankers bills against
sterling loans, which were facilitated by the
growing ease Of the London money mar
ket- The local trust companies also came
into this market as lenders of many millions
OF dollars on call. which served as a sttmu-
lating influence upon speculation The Chi
cago exchange rate continues at SOC dis
count, with continued pressure upon New
York for funds. United States Steel lost
nearly a point In the late dealings on the
postponement Of the decision OF the appeal
OF the suit against the stock-conversion plan
and on the beginning Of a new suit. This
and the sharp break In Colorado Fuel aG-
~grayated the reaction and the closing was
easy.

had a close call this afternoon. She
had d bottle of spirits Of ammonia in
her dressing-room for medicine. By
mistake another medicine was put in
its place. and just before the matinee
she took a swallow from the wrong
bottle. Fortunately the difference in
taste was noticed Immediately. There
was much commotion for a few min
utes, but the quantity taken had been
so small that the actress declared that
she felt no serious effects, and insisted
upon going on with the play. The cur
tain had been held down for some time
because of the mishap.

SHAH TO VISIT BERLIN.
Persian Monarch Going to Eu-

Berlin. April 7.-Ofieial circles here
confirm the report that the shah of

pay his respect to Emperor William.
The shah is going to Contrexyiile,
France, for his health and inquired Of
the authorities at Berlin whether his
visit would be acceptable to his majesty,
who answered affirmatively. The visit
was designed to take place this summer,
but was postponed owing to the mourn
ing for the late Dowager Empress Fred
erick. The shah probably will come to
Berlin by way Of St Petersburg. So far
as Germany is concerned, the visit is
devoid of political significance. The off,

London @Times" Discusses the Con-

London, April THE Times, comment

agreement between the Canadian gov
eminent and Signor Marconi. remarks
that the salient point of the undertake
ing is the substitution Of a costless per-
manent conductor for expensive, fragile
cables in communication between the
Dominion and Great Britain It is man
ifest, il adds, that this change alone
fully justifies the proposed large reduc-
ton in rates. and it IS reasonable to
hope that when experience is gained a
still further reduction will be possible.
It would be difficult to exaggerate the
importance of such a reduction in its
bearings on social and commercial in
tercourse between Canada and Great
Britain The idea of imperial unity
may be said to have reached maturity
at the very time when mans control of
the physical forces of the universe has
become sufficient to permit its complete
