NEW YORK, April 27.-Necessi
tons liquidation was thrown upon the
market today at Il inc when the de
mand was almost paralyizcd.
The holdness with which the bear
clement operated was indicated by
the violent rebounds between on.
slaughts when the bears took lasty
profits by buying TO cover snorts.
u was tho common understanding
that tho urgent liquidation was for
account of some OF the insurance
companies. The ndiscrImnate way
in which stocks were thrown over and
the violence of the declines at which
sales were affected gave rise to dis
quicting rumorS. especially regard.
ing tho position of some of tho in.
surance companies.
The violence of the decline in some
of the high priced railroad stock 5
revealed the fact that prices had been
marked UP unduly during the recent
period Of confidence while practically
no offerings were made in the mar
kci
The Hill stocks and the North
western Paciiics were the largest suf-
ferers and Reading, New York Cen
trail and some Of the highly specu.
lativc industrials also fell abruptly.
The break Of % points in Great
Northern Preferred measured the
maximum. but the Chicago and
NortherIlwcstcrn. Northern. Pacific.
Chicago and Omallo, Col, Fuel and
Anaconda offered examples of to
is points declines. In the general
list losses OF 2 to 8 points were
fairly general.
The weakness in stocks continued
throughout the day with successive
selling movements at new low levels
|intersparcd with occasional rallies on
short covering. The closing tone was
weak. although mixed with some OF
these spasmodic rallies.

UNCLE SANS DUTY TOWARD AM.
ERlCAN SHIPPING.

In discussing "Ameria's Duty to It's
Merchant Marine" the Marine Review
lays down this proposition IF econom-
ic conditions operate to make the mer-
chant marine difficult thing to main
tain. these conditions should be re-
moved or compensated for. Such a
condition obtains IN the United states
today and Is responsible for the fact
that the country has practically no
merchant marine in the foreign trade.
The policy Of the American govern.
ment Is protective. This policy has
been extended to every department If
industry, but for some reason shipping
has been excluded from II and is a
tremendous sufferer thereby. If the
country were on a free trade basis
shipping would have nothing special to
complain Of, because 1t would be meet
Ing equal conditions. But the shipping
OF protected country which is itself
unprotected. has double burden to
bear 1t cannot possibly compete with
nigh priced vessels and high priced

priced labor .

STEEL FRAME BUILDINGS AND
THE EARTHQUAKE.

According to the Springfield Re-
publican. the latest observations in
the burned area at San Francisco,
only increase the triumph of the
stecl-frame buildings. In every IN.
stance. it is now reported. these
structures were unnjured by the
earthquake, SO far as general stabil
ity is concerned. The steel frames.
even after The fire, remain as strong
and upright as ever. a number of
the buildings of this construction
can evidently be restored to use by
interior repairs within a short time.
The effect, II would seem, upon the
new city Of San Francisco, would
logically 'bc the erection OF steel
frame blocks, SO far as possible,
even when no great height Of strrc-
ture was desired. For such build
ings In the business districts are
clearly The best adapted to with.
stand earth tremors, with which the
city must always reckon. ;"
That being true Congress might
give, Il practical illustration Of its
sympathy for and its desire to help
the people of The stricken city by
removing The tariff upon all structu-
raj steel used in the erection of the
new city. II seems rather farcical
to appropriate a couple of millions
of dollars for temporary relief work
while the steel trust is permitted to
lay tax upon all building operations
which will he felt for centuries to
come. Even the sacrcdness Of the
4 tariff should not stand In the way OF
relief for the brave people who are
doing the best they can under such
tremendous difficulties
a bill has already been introduced
In the House of Representatives ex-
tending to the San Francisco people
the privilege Of importing building
material free. Even If the precedent
of similar action In the case of the
Chicago fire were not present, the
measure should pass without dis.
senting voice.

see why opponents OF the measures de.
signed to relieve present conditions
should persist in ignoring this common
sense view Of the subject.
NEGROES AND THE EXPOSITION.

we note with interest that the pro
motors of the negro exhibit mt the
Jamestown Exposition have succeed
I'd in aronsing interest among the
colorcd citizens OF Newport News.
Since the emancipation proclanIa-
ton. became effective the former
slaves and their descendants have
made wonderful progress and If they
fail to take advantage of the oppor
t,lnity which 1907 offers them to
make that fact apparent they will
act very unwiscIy. While there are
moi many men Of wealth among the
colorcd people of Virginia, by mutual
cooperation and The joining together
Of the many little sums we have no
doubt that sufficient capital may be
raised to make very creditablc
showing in that part of the exposition
devoted to the negro exhibit.
