The plan of the minority Of the board
of consulting engineers for an eighty
nbe-foot level lock canal. which Is the
plan favored by the Canal Commission
and by Secretary TAFT. and which the
President is generally credited with
favoring, would cost, according to the
estimates OF the minority OF the con-
Sulting board. Sl39, 7Oo. 200, and would take
nine years TO build. There is law enough
now under the act OF June 2s- 1902. 10
permit the President To 40 ahead and
build such a canal
The estimate placed by the majority
of the consulting board on the sea-leyel
canal Is that IL would cost $272, 900. gGe. and
would require from twelve to thirteen
years 10 build
Mr.. Rurr maintained before the COM
mittee that the estimate OF about S40,-
0O0, 600 for the lock canal was inadequate.
He calculated that a lock canal would
cost over siss, zoo, 900. He pointed out
that no account had been taken Of the
lis square miles OF land that would be
submerged by the terminal lakes II the
lock plan were adopted. He asserted
this land was valuable and placed an
estimate OF about SIS, OOO. 600 on II. He
also took the ground that the capitalized
value OF the increased cost of mainte-
type should be added as an item In the
cost of the lock canal.
Ter Years for Sea Level.
Mr. Burr argued that as the sea-IeveI
canal would in reality COST much less
than 500 O00. 90 more than the clock
canal IL would be economy to build the
sea-ieveI structure. He thought IL wound
cost $3.50 o00001 - get sea-level canal
If a lock canal we're built first and later
made sea level. Mr.. Burr also held that
the sea-level canal could be built in ter
years
Members Of the committee are already
working on the canal bill to be present
ed TO the Senate The bill has bean out
lined IL provides for reduction OF the
membership OF the commission from
seven members to three. Restriction OF
salaries will be provided for, so that
the ofncials and employees who serve in

scale OF pay in the executive depart-
mentS. Those in service on the canal
zone Will be allowed higher pay An lrr-

The Bates Project.

The Senator then interrogated the wit
ness on the Bates project for a dam at
Minde instead OF at Gatun. as advocated
in the report Mr.. Noble signed. The
witness said that such a project could
be carried through. but that It would
cost. in his estimation. more money
and would not be as secure IS the lock
plan. He also admitted that a lock
canal could be built at Bahio as well as
at Gatun. though he would adhere to
TIE Gatun location.
SIR. Noble endeavored TO point out the
desirability of the lock plan over the
sea-level proposition. He said ne had
not given the latter scientific study,
as he was reasonably sure from the be-
ginning that such a plan was too costly.

ment was still lafgely professional, but | the success which attended it and some of the developments in the days situa- ton were regarded as justifying the speculative position and increased the confidence of prevailing opinion. The money market showed relaxation, as
 was expected the call loan rate being held at the per cent. level from the opening except for a late furry to 10
 per cent, when the days borrowing was mostly completed. This was the
 result of the heavy disbursements of dividends and interest paid by the l banks and the payment of some $2,0O0, 900 of government interest. The arri- IYal on Saturday of $1,150,000 of gold from Germany had its effect on the available reserve of the banks. Opin- ion was not entirely clear how far the
 relaxation in the money market may be expected to go. Time loans were quoted at per cent. for all dates. Dis
 counts were marked down at London,
 Paris and Berlin and foreign exchange
 yielded here, but the price of gold ad-
 vanced in London and sterling ex-
 change declined at Paris.
 Speculative sentiment over the local
 outlook was cheerful. This view was
 made up partly from the conviction
 that the preceding decline in stocks has discounted an expected closing down of
 coal production. There is a sanguine
 expectation in the financial district that the differences In the anthracite indus try will be promptly adjusted Evi- dence that only partial shutdown has been effected of soft coal production took the edge off the apprehension over the consequences. Railroad officials
 east and west were reported as giving
 assurances of large supplies of fuel on hand for the railroads and maunfactur- ing industries. The weakness of Con solidated Gas unsettled the market temporarily, but the late furry to 10 per cent. in the money rate was prac- tically ignored, as it was not considered | representative of the actual conditions
 in the market. Over confident borrow CTS left their requirements uncovered early in the day and the rate was bid up on them. The market closed strong and active, a number of stocks rising
 vigorously in the closing dealings Bonds slightly irregular. There was a very heavy absorption of the United States Steel 2nd 5s. Total sales par value $4,695,OOO.
 United States bonds were all un-
 changed on call.

It's Action Accepted as Demonstration of
 Confidence by Speculative Element.
 New York, April 2.-The action of the stock market to-day was accepted as a demonstration of confidence on the part of the speculative element which embarked on the long side last week in the strength of their position That position was maintained to-day and prices advanced briskly with more G.1ow of breadth and animation in the trading than at any time since the movement began. The aggregate tram pzctions for the day rose to over mil- Ion shares for the first time in several weeks. The manner Tn which profit taking was absorbed in the first hour apparently gave satisfaction to the speculative party and operations on the long side were then renewed with con siderable increase of vigor.

 Temporary Say the Bulls.
 The bulls were in control again yes terday and despite the coal region news and higher prices for money sent prices up from one to five points
 There was no violent uprush in prices, the improvement being rather gradual after several successive balts and moderate reactions. Somewhat similar conditions prevailed abroad, the London Stock Exchange and the Paris and Berlin bourses displaying strength.
 The settlement of the Moroccan ques- tion helped prices abroad, and 1t was thought that Europe would soon be buying American stocks freely.
 Here the rise was favored by the les- sening of apprehension on the coal question. At least 90 per cent out of the usual amount of soft coal will be forthcoming, which will enable the United States Steel and other corpora tions to get the coal they want. Uni ted States Steel responded with a handsome rise for both the common r,ta ,.tn f- their highest figures in weeks.
 Then as to the anthracite situation hope arose that both sides would come to terms of agreement before long in one way or another. The coal stocks were accordingly buoyant.
 The prospect of the court review clause in the railroad rate bill was also bullish factor
 Consolidated Gas was again weak, and the talk of a reduction of the divi- dend to five per cent. was again cur rent.
 The copper stocks were buoyant. Rock Island was stronger on its in- creased earnings,
 The bulls jollied the bears, averring that the coal strike talk was bringing the bears hard times
 The tip was that Southern Pacific was going higher.
 Morgan Rockefeller, Keene and Gates were all said to be pulling the market.
 The public, 1t was stated, was begin ming to nibble at stocks again.
 Yesterdays 10 per cent. rate for call money was the highest level touched since Friday, January last, when the same quotation was made. Yesterdays level has not been reached before in this week since 1903, when Il per cent. was touched. The bulls claimed that easy money would be soon at hand and kept on pulling prices.
 It looked as if Consolidated Gas in- vestment stock was coming on the market
