TUBE FOR CUSTOM HOUSE.
Plan to Haze 1t Connected 7cith
.4pprai$er's Warehouse.
IFrom The tribune Buretu.I


Washington. Jan 24.-Representative Herbert
Parsons Of New York. placed under way to-day
a project that promises to facilitate TO a marked
degree the business Of the customs service In
New YOork. In a bill which he introduced in
the House he asked for an appropriation Of
$50 coo for the construction OF pneumatic tubes
between the appraisers warehouse and the new
custom house. They are separated by one and
one half miles, Mr.. Parsons has explained to
his colleagues, and the only means of communi
cation is by way OF the densely crowded streets
Of lower New York In the transmission Of in
voices. ACCOMPLISHMENTS. estimates and other
papers between the two present buildings there
has been great delay and much annoyance. The
ca bs used for the service, are expensive.
Mr. Parsons has the hearty support of the
Treasury Department. and Is hopeful OF secur-
ing the enactment of the bill at this session.
He at least has been active in behalf of the plan,
and VIII spare effort 10 secure prompt action
on his bill TO carry it into effect.
The bill referred to-day 10 the Commit
tee on Public Buildings and Grounds. Mr. Par
sons viii ask to have IL taken from that COM
mittee and given TO the Committee on Appro-
prlations. He will then strive TO have that
committee include the item of s150.000 in the
Sundry Civil Appropriation bill.

From The Tribune Bureau J

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington. Jan. A.-The House Of Repre-
sentatives to-day for the sake Of economy.
voted to abolish all the eighteen pension agen-
cies In the country except one. II Is proposed
10 have all this work done hereafter by a single
agency to be located in the Pension Office in
this city II set forth by those who ia
vored this action that its adoption would re-
duce the number OF clerks in this service from
485 to 236. and would save the government
100000 year.
Mr. Dalzell OF Pennsylvania, precipitated the
contest by moving that the Pension Appropria-
tion BILL which provided for nine agencies,
should be amended as TO provide for eigh-
teen. as at present Mr.. Gardner of Michigan.
in charge OF the bill. had felt the temper Of the
House since the debate the subject yester-
day, and suggested that It would be economical
and in every way desirable to have only one
agency. to be located In Washington. He intro
duced an amendment providing for this.
When II came to vote, badly was the
Dalzell amendment defeated (5S to 114) that no
one found courage to demand a rising vote on
the Gardner plan OF having only one agency.
The affirmative vote was Enthusiastically de-
Cisive.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4--Brandstreets to-
morrow will say: Quiet prevails in dis
tributive trade. but Industrial lines were
never so active at this season. Post-holi-
uay and weather conditions affect both
wholesale and retail trade, the latter line
noting slackness In demand for heavy
wearing apparel.
While the car shortage trouble is still
very acute the country over there are re-
ports from a few sections, especially the
northwest and parts of the Pacific coast
freely.
1t is noted now. as last year at this
time, that mild weather while n draw
back to some lines of trade. allows of
building being carried on In a usually
closed season.
New orders for steel rails are of goodly
proportions, and II is reported that two
western roads have placed contracts for
upward of 10000 tons for delivery In 1905
Two Independent Pennsylvania rail pro-
dGcers announce that they will not book
orders calling for delivery after August
for less than $50 a ton. an increase of 81,
and the highest price quoted for standard
rails since 1900, but the leading pro-
ducer shows no disposition to advance
its price. Building operations have fall
en- off but the railroads continue to
Place goodly contracts for structural
shapes. Domestic copper is firm and con-
siderable premium prevails for spot sup
plies. But late advlces indicate weak
ness for warrants and refined copper in
the oversee markets.
Grain prices have shown little move

The aggressive strength of all kinds Of

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Speculative sem
timent which has seemed to be in a
state of solution during the present
week was precipitated into tangible
form on the side of higher values today.
Substantial advances resulted from
the disposition to buy stocks. The de-
mand was varied and affected the list
throughout, although there was marked
favor still shown for stocks which long
have held the foremost place in market
movements. A hesitating short inter-
est, which has been added to during the
week, encouraged by the lack of re-
sponse in the market to favorable de-
velopments, was an important element
in the days buying.
The pronounced relaxation in the
money market was the underlying
ground for the advance. Funds on call
were in apparent abundance and the
rate for the day did not get over per
cent with the ruling rate below that.
The forces which have brought about
this condition promise to continue ac-
tive for some time to come.
The estimates of the weeks currency
movement make it evident that sub
stantial inflow from the interior to New
York has set in and is likely to be eX-
tended in view of the seasonable sub
sistance of requirements for movements
of the crops. New York appears to
have received in the neighborhood of
SS,000,000 in cash during the week.
Side by side with the relapse in the
money market there was revived de-
mand for remittance abroad through
the exchange market.
Union Pacific was one Of the strong
est and most active stocks on the list
in spite of the beginning of the inquiry
by the interstate commerce commission
into the relations of the Hartman
properties with a view to discover pos
sible conflict with the law. There was
an aggressive recovery in the Hill
stocks.
The large gains in the net earnings
of the Southern Pacific and the Union
Pacific also helped those stocks, Other
railroad reports showed by contrast the
severe effect on net earnings of the
growth of operating expenses No diff
ficulty was found in absorbing the sales
to take profits on the day and the clos
ing tone was buoyant and very active
