Colorado Protests.

The Colorado legislature has lately
passed a joint resolution opposing any
reduction OF the tariff on sugar from
the Philippine Islands. Beet sugar
production has come to be an import
ant industry in this Rocky Mountain
state. Farmers, laborerS and manu-
facturers are equally interested i'll the
protection of the domestic product
against the competition OF 10-cent
wages and cheap transportation cost.
In at least twenty other states OF the
Union the farmers are engaged eX-
tersivcly in the growing of sugar
beets, and stand with Colorado in
antagonists to Secretary Taft's pct

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The improved tone Of the general market
as 1t was recorded today was reflected at
the meeting today Of the stock exchange.
not so much by the volume Of the trading,
which did not show material Improvement,
at least as far as the entire list was con-
cerned. but by the maintenance Of the
level Of prices and gaining a higher level
in some instances.
The notable feature Of the trading was
the sale by one Of the brokers of some
one thousand shares Of the common stock
OF the Washington Railway and Electric
Company. For the most part the buying
was by one broker, although when the
trading got around 80 a disposition was
shown on the part Of q number Of brokers
to buy. Toward the close bids for several
hundred shares were on the floor at one
time and the principal buyer bid 81 for
zoo shares.
The broker who had the big block for
sale, as 1t was developed. sold at the out
set SEQ shares for 81, which was the bid for
the stock at the last meeting OF the ex-
change Thursday last. He disposed OF the
balance of his holdings at 8611 and down
to 361s.
With that selling order out Of the way.
the recovery to the starting point was made
without bringing out much additional stock
and at the close the bid was Btu. The stock
was not offered for sale.
Nothing to speak of was done In the pre-
ferred stock and 1t was passed over with
out any change being made in the figures.
Options on a couple Of lots of gas stock
sold for SO and more was to be had at the
same figure. but the best bid for options
was $50. For the stock So was bid and the
asking price was half a point in advance.
Changes were made in the quotations OF
the typesetting machine stocks and for the
copper mining stocks, but they simply re-
Elected what was done in the outside mar
kets and there was no trading.
Much concern was expressed today at the
meeting of the stock exchange when 1t be-
came generally known for the first time
that Mr.. w. Riley Decide was down with
typhoid fever. He had been about as usual
up to Thursday last, SO that even those
who are rather closer to him in a business
way did not know Of his sickness until to-
day 1t was only yesterday the nature OF
the attack was developed.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The prolonged
holiday in London, with its natural effect
on the local market was responsible for an
attack on the short interest at the opening
this morning that brought about a scurry-
ing to cover similar to that on Friday
when the bears were caught for severe
losses.
Canadian Pacific was the center Of action
In the first hour. Believing that this stock
In the declines of a week ago had been
unduly depressed and was ripe for an ad-
vance number of traders bought 1t
heavily at the opening. Sales from London
delayed the rise about five minutes. but as
soon as II was released from this check
the stock rose rapidly, till In half an hour
gain over Fridays closing price OF IA
points and an extreme range for the morn
ing of IL points.
For time a rumor of corner In the
stock had fastened the rise. but little
credence was given to II after the list be-
gan to sell off. This happened only short
time after IL o'clock. Before then there
had been fractional losses on a dimnution
of activity in the trading. but In the main
securities showed gains OF from L to

dice of the bill of complaint filed against

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 2.-The opinion was
generally expressed in financial quarters
today that the situation both here and
abroad shows q considerable improvement.
No trouble is now expected either at Lon
don or Berlin. unless the market for
American securities should experience an
other big slump. which, by the way, 10 not
generally hooked for. Within a week or
ten days some Of the best judges OF the
money market on this side believe that the
supply Of available funds will be consider
ably more abundant, and the rates for both
time and call loans correspondinSly lower.
-
Western railroads take O somewhat more
hopeful view Of the railroad situation at
Chicago than they were disposed to do late
last week. Some interests intimate that
they believe that important influence has
been brought to bear upon the labor leaders
involved in the present dispute and that.
as indicated in dispatches from Chicago
this morning, the employees themselves are
not in favor Of going out, realizing that
they are we'll paid at the present time. and
that II tho business Of the country should
slow down materially reductions. rather
than increases in wages. would be the rule.
very positive Information last Friday from
prominent railroad interests that q strike
at Chicago was altogether improbable.
There seems to be PRETTY general conf
dence today that q way will be found to
settle the present differences without
general strike.
1t is rumored that the management Of the
Great Northern Railway Company has de-
cided definitely not to make any modiflca-
ton of the date as most recently announced
for the payment for the first four INSTALL
ments of the new stock issue, which would
require an aggregate of $24,00O.OOO on
April Q. 1t is further rumored that the
will be deposited in one Of the most promi-
nent national banks in this city.
Some observers have been inclined to be-
lieve that unusual importance should be
attached to the action recently begun in
tine Texas court to restrain the further
payment Of dividends by the Southern Pa
cific Railway Company until certain de-
mands regarding the bonds Of the SUBJ
sidiary companies should be satisfied. 30
far as can be learned from the interests
who began the action there Is no ground
for assuming that they have In mind any
thing more with respect to the Southern
Is stated in the bill filed with the court.
According to the best information obtain
able today the sensational recovery in Can
adam Pacific on Friday was due chiefly to
a drive against the short interests. which
had become pretty unwieldy for security
the floating supply Of which Is relatively
so small.
