Government Bonds.

There was an extremity Of duIluess in
the stock Market after the opening this
morning, and dullness is especially dis
appointing at this TIME IL is hard 10
discover a way TO consider il promising
Of better things I'm the near future. The
market may turn soon toward higher
prices again, Of course. and il may be-
come active and buoyant. but at least
conservative people are less confident OF
this than they were two OF three days
ago.
The theory Of the optimists has been
that after the beginning Of the new year
VIXEN money should be easy again. and
the steel company statement should have
been issued the important people would
take advantage Of the general business
prosperity TO make a big Dull market. IL
was thought that the important people
would do this. II 90 we're possible by the
most strenuous effort, because all their
interests seem TO lie in the direction
Of higher prices at this time
disappointment in the street.
Easier money conditions have develop
ed and there is every prospect OF an ex-
cenent bank statement The report Of
the Steel Company has been made public
ana Wulle II is not up TO the rCSleBL OF
the predictions. IL is certainly moi TO be
considered a poor report, either. The
market bad a little upturn but when the
steel statement appeared IL was the sig
nal for immense realizing and since that
time the market has either sagged or
been dull. This seems TO indicate one Of
two thngs-either the theory Of the oD-
timists was wrong, OF the big people have
made an attempt TO engineer a bull mar
ket and have met with 80 much OppOsi-
tion that they have given il up
Conservative Opinion Hopeful.
Appearances are deceptive, and in this
instance the outward indications may be
al fault. The insiders may be accu-
mulating stock They may be waiting I'M
iii money has come back TO New York in
great volume. And even supposing that
they have met with serious opposition in
their campaign for a big market, they
may win in the end Conservative opin-
ion favOrs hopefUlness and purchases Of
stocks on the reactions. but il advises
extreme caution also.
The Monetary Outlook
It is said that the City Bank may ship
more gold on Saturday, but the gold ex-
port movement is not likely 10 be an i'm
poItaut one The bank statement will in
all probability be q most rosy one this
week. as the banks have lost little or
nothing 10 the subtreasury, and have
gained a large amount or the interior
movement OF currency.

high tariff that Australia has recently
adopted. Speaking OF Australian condi-

Australia Is destined to become a

conditions become settled and the coun-
try energies from the grip OF the big

ought to prove OF benefit to all of
Britain's colonies. Heretofore the Brit
ish colonies have been branching out
like the tentacles OF an octopus-each
one going in a different direction and
having but faint idea of what the
other is doing. Every part OF the
British empire now understands what
the other part is doing and each one
of the colonies will try to favor the
other as far as possible. Reciprocity
between the colonies can be but
natural result. The colonies will not
fail to bend all of their energies tow
