The Paris Rourse

PARIS, March 15.-The tone on the
Bourse today was heavy, owing to the
uncertainties of the war. A strong
belief prevailed that peace will fol-
low the recent fighting, but this had
no favorable effect on the market, as
1t was still feared that the peace
movement will prove deceptive. At
the closing the tone was indecisive,

NEW YORK, March 15.-There was
a. remnant of speculative spirit in
the stock market today, but 1t was
somewhat chastened and made itseli
manifest in q conservative way. The
movement was hesitating and irregu-
lar. The fluctuations for the greater
part of the day, however, were above
last nights level and 1t was not until
the latter part of the session that any
considerable inroads were made on
prices.
Dispatches from Chicago detailing the
enormous outlay contemplated by the
railroads for equipment for 1905 caused
q squirt in the various car and locomo-
tive company stocks. There were pub
lished compilations of the extensive
traffic to originate in the Southern
territory /on account of the activity
in the Southern iron trade, and the
large cotton crop to be moved, which
led straightway to the marking up of
stocks of the Southern group of rail-
ways.
Less was heard of the recent ru-
mors regarding the VanderbiltS and
Pacifics, but they also held their pc
riods of strength.
Foreigners were inclined to sell
Americans again, the movement doubt
less originating in France and Ger
y,
Russia holdings. 1t is interesting to
note, however, that the London Statist,
in an extensive review of American
prospects, asserts a conviction that a
large movement of European capital
into American investments is immi-
nent, owing to the great expansion of
productive facilities which promises to
be required in this country.
The Statist concludes by saying: "In
spite of the growth in imports into
and the decline in exports from the
United States and also in face of the
unprecedented expenditures of Ameri-
can tourists in Europe this year, there
may be in the far distant future signs
that the gold which recently has been
exl orted from New York to Europe
will return to the United States. This
operation would be brought about by
a rise in money rates here.
The advance in the call loan rate to-
day to per cent seems to have been
Immediately due to the withdrawal of
government deposits with the national
banks, but the effect of the interior
demand for currency is looked for in
New York by the end of March, and
is taken some account of in the cur
rent outlook.
Prices sold off rather sharply on the
rise In the call loan rate, and the days
advances were much reduced or entire-
ly wiped out.
Active discussion of the proposed
stock transfer tax continued a rather
disoouraging factor in the trading.

the. late rebound to SO in Ontario G.

Thus 1t is that after successive
kicks, you may use the same
amount of gas, but your bills may
be lessened.
There is one woman living in the
Metropole block tina, has compelled
the gas company to change her
meter five different times, and she
is not sure today that she has a

last one is stealing only in a less
amount than former ones.
The Press is coming into new

settle the tariff matter for several
years to come.
President Roosevelt has tried to
keep free of the tariff controversy
at this time, SO as to concentrate
all on the battle for railroad rate
legislation.
He was careful to refrain from
committing himself to the large
and influential delegation Of shoe
manufacturers who called on him
this week; also he has INDUCED in
no extended discussion Of revision
in his forthcoming message.
But the president has very de.
cided views on tariff revision, and
1t has become known that he did
figure on writing a special message
on this subject as soon as rate leg
islation should be off the boards.
The open antagonism Of Speaker
Cannon to any revision of the tar
if presents an unexpected and a
grave complication.
His threatened course in loading
the committee against the admin
istration's plans is a complication
of even more grave character.
In it there is menace of party
disruption. There is nothing yet
to indicate that the threatened
clash might prevent the reelection
of Mr.. Cannon as speaker.

ing open war with congress. But

Special Dispatch to The Press
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. "a
An open break between President
Roosevelt and Speaker Jos. G. Can.
non appears imminent.
Tariff revision is the cause.
While President Roosevelt is
contemplating special message
for the latter part of the 59th con.
gress, urging revision of the tariff,
Uncle Joe Cannon is getting ready
to load the committee on ways and
means with stand pat members so
that the tariff may not be touched
as long as this congress lasts.
The news has leaked out that
Speaker Cannon is distrustful OF
four republicans who are now on
the ways and means committee,
the committee where all tariff leg.
islation must originate.
Representatives Babcock Of Wis
consin, Tawney of Minnesota, Nc
Call of Massa chusetts and Payne
of New York have showed recent
signs of becoming converts to the
revision idea.
These four, by combining with
the six democratic members of the
committee, would take the major
ity control away from the republi-
cans.
1t is the present purpose Of Mr..
Cannon to replace them by such
men as McCleary of Minnesota,
pronounced tariff stand pat men.
Such action at this time would

vises its readers to be upon their

In many places about the city
the Gas company is changing met

substituting specially tested ones.
Beware of this maneuver. Don't
