FINANCIAL

A general. healthy activity pervaded
Wall street this morning. judging from
the earliest ticker tickngs. The up
ward movement in prices continues and
the market is uniformally strong As
yesterday. the leaders in today's earlier
trading were the Pacific stocks. Union
and Southern being most active.
The trading yesterday was dull. singu-
larly light in view OF the firmness OF the
financial system at present. The char
acter OF this mornings operations in the
stock market was shifty, the exchange
OF securities oentering around light fiuc-
tuations' now towards higher prices. now
towards lower
Chief among matters for discussion in
financial circles this morning was the de-
termined attitude OF President Roosevelt
towards the revision OF the tariff.
This stand lends great assurance to the
hopes OF those who see I'm tariff revision
and similarly modified legislation govern
ing railroads and other great money
making semi-public institutions allievia-
ton OF present difficulties. Those op-
posed 10 the presidents views see
breakers ahead and anticipate a contest
worthy Of their mettle.
The matter OF tariff revision is one that
comes TO Rhode Island financial and COM
mercial circles with especial power for
creating a stir. The prospect OF SO pro-
foundiy elm portant a change as a general
revision of tariff regulations is calculated
TO overbear all other concernments among
traders and spectators. No more potent
force can be exerted on the stock market
OF the world today, either for good or for
evil. than a change in American tariff
restrictions.
Locally. opinion seems fairly divided to-
day. many minds being in hearty accord
with the news from Washington, others
being inclined to reticence and conserva-
tive restraint. IL is commonly conceded
that the president is ready 10 strive with
might and main that his purposes may
prevail, and important report is expected
to come out OF the federal city between
the present and March T.
A survey OF the situation, influenced by
local manifestation and national report
prompts comment upon the general
strength OF security quotations. All the
world seems prosperous and content In
the abundance OF its material wealth
There is a lack OF energy I'm trading at
the present time. which is accountable to
influences aside from the condition of Sc
curitIes.
Possibly no more applicable word can be
given as indicative of the situation than
vacant" Empty chairs in local offices
and light operation in the metropolitan
exchanges tend to prove the lack OF active
interest In the market on the part of
many Independent traders.

HUMAN FOOT FOUND
AND IS LOST AGAIN
Children Make Gruesome Discovery Of
Amputated Member-Reported
Part of Woman's Anatomy.

Police Of the first precinct are looking
for the person who removed a hu-
man foot from the rear of 16li l street
northwest last night.
shortly before dusk several children
were playing in an alley and came upon
a piece OF. newspaper tied with a red
string. They opened It and found a
foot evidently auputated at the ankle.
One Of the little girls told her father
of the discovery lie informed the po-
lice Of the gruesome fnd.
AIorguemasterS Schoeneberger was COM
municated with and was ordered to go
to the let and take charge of the foot.
The man who reported the matter to
the police says it was a woman's left
foot 1t was so badly discolered that
no one was able 10 say whether it was
that of white or coIored woman.
When the morgue wagon reached the
scene of the finding, the rcot could not
be found. The man who reported the
affair was hunted up, but he could not
tell what became of it.

moved the foot from the alley. 1t is
believed some medical student of one of
the local universities threw the foot
away.
