A MAXIMUM TARIFF BILL.
One Liable to Receive Consideration at
This Session.

Sentiment is growing among republicans
of the House ways and means committee
IN favor of a maximum tariff bill, retaliat-
ing upon countries which discriminate in
higher duties against the United States. It
was said today that President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root have been consulted
upon this subject and have not been found
averse to the proposed legislation.
1t was prophesied today in influential re-
publican quarters that some kind of maxi
mum tariff proposition would receive fav-
orable consideration by the ways and means
committee at this session of Congress
One bill now pending before the commit
tee, Mr.. McCleary's, provides as follows:
That when any country discriminates
against any article or articles, the growth
or product OF the soil or industry of the
United States by levying upon such article
or articles duties, 1mposts, excuses or taxes
in excess of those levied upon similar
articles imported from any other country
or in any way falls to admit the products
Of the United States on terms as favorable
as those accorded to any other nation.
there shall be levied and collected upon all
articles the growth or product Of the soil
or industry of the country SO discriminate
ing against the products Of the United
States duties Is per cent In excess of those
now established by law. and on all articles
which by law are on the free list, duties
at the rate of % per cent ad valorem shall
be levied and collected"

THE COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, January 10.-The cotton
market opened weak at decline OF Tale
points, and soon increased the loss to q
matter of 17a20 points on the active months
under aggressive selling by local bears and
heavy liquidation by yesterdays buyers
who were disappointed with the showing or
the Liverpool market. Trading was very
active at first and the market acted very
nervous and unsettled, fbut around 1l.33
for March covering became a factor, and
during the middle morning prices frmed up
with business less active and the undertone
steadier. Reports of freer southern offer-
ings in Liverpool were factors on the early
break.

NEW YORK. January 10.-After more

purposes. practically unchanged from last
nights final figures. American Sugar Re-
filming stock was heavy at a decline of more

rather strong at an advance of about the
same amount.
For the most part the rest of the list was
monotonously dull and the general tenden-
cles displayed seemed. If anything. to be In
the direction of a somewhat lower level.
Good judges of speculative conditions ar
rived at the conclusion last night that the
market seemed fatigued. in other words,
that II had been overbought for the time
being and the transactions through the
greater part of the days session seemed to
confirm the opinion that considerable steam
had escaped from the bull movement.

Canadian Pacific FURRY.

Doubtless the campaign in Canadian Pa
clfc was the Indirect cause of the demon
stration In these stocks. Missouri Kansas
and Texas was prominent in the same way
as of late but in general the operations
among the specialties of minor or greater
importance seemed faint-hearted under the
influence of the sluggishness which charac-
terized the standard shares
American Sugar Refining attracted much
attention in connection with the annual
meeting of the stockholders, which was held
today. but the developments at that meet
ing were what have been expected in we'll
informed circles.
Only in highly speculative quarters ap-
parently had any idea obtained that some
thing in the nature OF a melon cutting
would be announced, and presumably, the
sales on which Sugar Refining stock de-
Clined today represented the closing out of
commitments for this over-sanguine and
uniformed element

Pool and Clique Dealings.

Presumably such efforts We're made, for'

were significant of pool and clique activity
in the low-priced issues. but still the mar
ket refused in the phrase of the street,
to bull or, rather 1t pulled hard.
There was, as usual of late, an active and
animated first hour, and for the better
part of that period the buying forces seem
ed to have the upper hand.
Thereafter there was generally more stock
offering for sale than there We're willing
buyers. At various intervals this or that
issue was taken in hand and moved up
sharply, but the response around the room
was as a rule, feeble. and aggressive tao
tics were usually given over after cam
paigns of marked brevlty. There were
some striking movements IN specialtles.
Minneapolis, st. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie
was moved up dozen points in short or
der and the Duluth, South Shore and At
iantic issues were made very active.

THE IRON INDUSTRY.
ample Steel for San Francisco Re
building.

Uu11u1Ak.
The Iron Age says: The San Francisco
disaster has had a disturbing effect upon
the predetermined leaders Of the iron In
dustry, who are concerned chiefly with its
influence upon the general financial situa-
ton. The splendid vindication Of the mod
ern steel-cage construction Is exceedingly
gratifying. but some very erroneous and ex-
aggerated statements have obtained cur
rency as to the tonnage Of shapes which
will be required at once.
Those who believe that the Pacific coast
disaster will mean a boom to the steel In
dustry are as much mistaken as are those
who hold that our own works cannot take
care of the business as and when offered.
The event Of the week has been the an
nouncement Just made by the United States
Steel Corporation, Lackawanna Steel Com
pany and the Pennsylvania Steel Company
that they have opened their books for or
ders for steel rails on the basis Of SIS at
mill. We are not advised whether the other
rail mills will pursue the same course.
The pig,lron markets . are IN a somewhat
generally Arm. In the central west a sale
OF 10000 tons Of Bessemer has been made
for an eastern works. In the Chicago dis
trict the maileable foundrfes are in the mar
ment makers. the tonnage In sight being
10000. Steel foundries are In the market
for basic pig.
In foundry irons there is keen rivalry In
spots. with corresponding concessions on
business In competitive territory.
Among the sales OF steel rails are $1,000
tons for 1907 for the Southern railway. by
the Tennessee company: 1900 tons addi-
tional for the Seab0ard Air Line, and 1900
tons for the Lima and Toledo traction line
The structural mills have booked 5000 tons
for Los Angeles. No orders for San Fran
cisco have been placed.
