BACKWARD TURN
IN WALL Street
Fridays Small Gains More
Than Lost in YeSter-
e days Trading.
DAYS NEWS UNFAV0RABLE
CONDITION OF THE MONEY MAR
kET NOT A PRESSING FACTOR.

New York. Feb. 29.--The tone Of dull
depression reasserted itself in the stock
market today, and yesterdays small
gains were more than lost. The room
traders found themselves long of stocks
as consequence of yesterdays move
ment, and when they attempted TO take
profits the narrowness of the market
was clearly demonstrated. News of the
day was unfavOrably construed. The
assertions current earlier in the week
regarding the revival in the copper
trade came in for some dispute and
demand for that metal from producers
of finished products was pronounced to
be still insignificant. Former rumors
OF reopening operations in Montana
and of consolidated control in the cop
per industry were without verification
and lost their influence
The consequences of the measures by
the government at Washington to en-
join the payment of Southern Pacific
dividends into the Union Pacific treas
ury came into renewed discussion.
kThese developments turned the princi-
bal stocks which led yesterdays adj
Vance toward downward course and
AFFECTED the whole market by sympa-
thy. The attempt by the Texas state
authorities TO force a receiVership for
the Texas & Pacific disturbed specu-
lative sentiment and aroused apprehen-
sions of bad effects on railroad prop
critics generally. A bad impression was
caused by the unexpected receivership
for the Oriental National bank, for
which success was hoped in the efforts
to resume operations. The mercantile
reviews proved conservative in their
views of betterment of the trade and
industrial situation, and offered no ma
terial on which TO base a continuance
OF the rise.
The prospect of an unfavorable bank
statement was of some sentimental ef-
feet. although the immediate condition
in the money market is not a pressing
factor in the stock market: Sterling
exchange receded and the Bank of
England received a large consignment
of gold from Egypt. The private dis
count rate in Paris, however, adj
vanced. The London Statist voices the
opinion that foreign exchange at New
York is being kept down by a cOnsid-
Arabic investment of European money
the United States, and reports that
railways continue TO raise
additional capital by means of short
term notes, many of which was placed
in London. Ii was in the statement of
actual conditions Of the clearing house
banks on Friday night, and not in the
statement of averages, that the week s
cash decrease was reflected. The eX-
pansion in the loan accounts shows
some financing in progress during the
week that has not appeared in the
news.

there are contestiHg delegations go

other men are mentioned. Speaker
Cannon has his state, with fifty-four
votes; Senator La Toilette has his
state; Vice President Fairbanks has
his state. But not one of them all has
one single vote outside of his own
political bailiwick- that is to say, out
side of his own state. Secretary Taft
has picked up all the delegates in the
south and in the middle west and
stands today as the leading candidate
SO 1t seems fair to say that Taft is
certain to Ike the Republican nominee.
Now. on the other side. in the Demo
cratic party Mr.. William ]. Bryan has
instructed for him 20S delegates. More
over, there are eight delegates from
Rhode Island who, though not in

Cobwebs Accumulate on Taft's Office
Door as He Goes From Place to Place

Especial Washington Correspondence OF
The Argus
Secretary Taft, who has been seen
very little about the war department,
Is once again making long jour
ney. Ostensibly the trip is simply a
visit to Panama. Why the secretary is
needed there, is not known. We have
five commissioners paid $4,000 yeaI
each to attend to the work there being
done. OF course, if it is absolutely nee.
essary to add to this galaxy, of talent
the secretary of war of the United
States nobody must question the fact.
Yet it would seem that if the commits
sioners, who have been described as
the most brilliant, able Woodworking
officials in public service, are not able
to handle the work on the isthmus
without monthly visits from Taft there
must be something wrong with their
methods or their energy. Mr.. Taft went
to the isthmus on the cruiser Prairie.
When he comes back he will be landed
either at Pensacola or at Charleston.
1t is apparent the place of landing de-
ponds upon the political needs of the
moment. From his landing place he
will make another stamping tour
through the south. In the meantime
the cobwebs grow over the Office of the
secretary of war.
Mr.. Taft's Travels.
In the last year Secretary Taft has
seldom been in his Office three days in
succession There is hardly any spot
on the civilized or even the uncivilized
world that he has not visited. Other
candidates for the presidency, like
Speaker Cannon. Senator Knox and
Senator La Toilette and Vice President
Fairbanks, have refused to accept any

In determining the action of that con-
Yention
The Democratic state conventions
are coming slowly, but North Dako-
ia, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa, II

And If you look at the east the state
of Massachusetts has been carried alb

United States might as well figure now
that the convention is going to be con-
trolled by the friends of Mr.. Bryan
and that the nomination will be made
within the first three ballots.
Publishers and Politics.
The committee of newspaper pub
fishers recently. in Washington found
themselves treated with scant courtesy
by the committee appointed to consider
their demand for the repeal of the
duty on wood pulp and on print paper.
| have talked at some length With u
member OF this committee What puz-
Zles him is that when the publishers
and owners of newspapers, of whom
he is one, reached Washington they
found that six congressman, no one of
whom was newspaper owner, had
| more knowledge of the paper business
than anybody, except the purchasers of
print paper for newspaper, could pos
sibly have. This might be indicative
Of extraordinary intelligence on the
part of the congressman ON the COM
