WILL NOT SUBMIT BID.
Report Regarding the Public Printer
Contradicted.

Contrary to the report which gained
currency last week that Public Printer
Stillings would submit bid for the print
ing of the Official Gazette OF the patent
office in competition with outside printing
houses 1t was learned today from Chief
Clerk Irelan of the patent Office that Mr..
Stillings considers. in view OF the fact that
the form of the measure allowing the work
to be taken from the government printing
office has not become a law. that 1t would
not be proper for him to enter bid. Such
action it is stated, might result in the
peculiar situation of Mr.. Stillings bidding
against himself. In case the Senate does not
pass the House bill In its present form.
The patent office authorities have taken
occasion to investigate for themselves the
report that the removal OF the Gazette
work from the government printing office
would result in the throwing of several
hundred printers out of work. and IL was
learned that the number OF men now en-
ployed on this work is only seventy eight,
so that the former report is declared to
have been erroneous.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 1S--Today's stock
market opened and trading was conducted
throughout the business session under
peculiar combination Of inauspicious cir
cumstances. To name them In their order
of apparent influence there must be citeo
the San Francisco catastrophe, the more
gloomy outlook for a settlement of the la
Dor difficulties In the coal fields, the Presi-
dents special message to Congress urging
the necessity for new legislation for the
prosecution Of corporations, and the ap-
pointment of the chief inquisitor In the
life insurance investigation to conduct the
federal inquiry into the affairs of the coal
carrying railroads.
1t was indeed remarked today that both
Providence and the President were arrayed
against the market stability, and with this
combination In active operation the days
results in the stock market could hardly
be described as remarkable.
Actual Intelligence with regard to the
state OF affairs at San Francisco was nee
essarily limited, and the advices treating
of the effects of the earthquake in that city
and vicinity were fragmentary and lncom :
plete. That the largest city on the racine
slope has suffered great disaster seemed
such dispatches as came to hand 1t Will
probably be several days before the full
extent of the loss In life can be ascer-
tanned, and probably several months must
elapse before definite estimates as to the
destruction In property will be available
The Money Weakness.
Although the earthquake at San Fran
cisco furnished the absorbing topic of
discussion. it was open to doubt whether
the circumstance played greater part
in the money weakness Of the stock mar
ket than did the Presidents insistence
upon new legislation to facilitate the
prosecution of the trusts and the more
serious outlook In the labor controversy
ever, been introduced into speculative
reckonings. and Its dramatic nature i'm
parted additional force to it's disturbing
effect upon confidence.
Wall street was apparently slow To
recognize the gravity of the catastrophe at
San Francisco, and while the event was
known previous to the opening of busi-
ness, discussion at the outset of the mar
ket was mainly occupied with the coal
strike situation and such routine matters
as the course of American stocks in the
London market.
The price changes shown there were linz
the morning foreign houses disposed of
about % 600 shares of stock in the local
market and. while the amount was not
actually large. the disposition of the foreign
orders played considera BILE part upon spec
ulative sentiment. being in accordance with
the spirit of depression which prevailed
throughout the streets.
