STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Great Activity in Special Stocks
 Volume Expands.

New York, April 2S.-The stock market to-day gave a striking dem onstration of strength and expanded substantially in volume. The figures of the aggregate sales do not fully bear out the presence of extreme an- imatlon in the market which was due to great activity in a number of sec lected stocks These were, at the same time, the most conspicuously strong stocks in the market and were carried up to prices not touched since some time before the financial crisis o; last october, Sales, also were the largest since the panic period in Oc- tober, Union Pacific was the leader of the movement and it's price has re- covered more in proportion than any other stock in the list. ro-day's movement carried with that stock in closest sympathy other members of the trans continental group in which conditions resemble most clearly those of Union Pacific. Tho movement was spotty and uneven, some prominent stocks coming tardily into the move ment and some failing to respond at all. In the former class were the metal industrials. After remaining sluggish throughout the earlier part of the day these stocks were moved upwards later, as though to rectify the artificial appearance of the move ment. The advance showed every ev- idence of skilful leadership and the conviction was general amongst trad CTS that it had the support of the great powers in the banking, railroad and financial world.
 Opinions remained somewhat d. vided as to how far these auspices are offered to the market from a feeling Of encouragement over the improved investment demand reflected in the | Pennsylvania bond sale or how far they may be divised to foster and stimulate that demand and help other projected new capital issues. News developments continue mixed in char acter, abundant money resources on the one hand and continued deprcs- sion in industry and commerce on | IIt OlneT, All lliDDlItiHl HlHl hFl idt- ! tor was the belief that support had 1 been secured for the coming Union 1 Pacific bond issue, with large foreign participation. St, Paul was strong on l the suppositon that parts of the com panys Pacific coast extension will be- gin earning some in a short time Northern Pacific was strengthened by the revival of old speculative rumors of an intended large extra distribution of profits.
 The presidents message vas ac- cepted calmly and without effect or stocks. The unevenness of the day'' strength left some conspicuous stocks with not enough vantage ground or the reaction, when profit taking sci
 in, to save any of their gains. Tho changes show a sprinkling of losses in consequence. The figures of the U, $, Steel quarterly report were moi available before the stock exchange session closeed, but the earnings con formed closely to estimates curren fol several days past.

The midday advance in United states Steel common to 36 7-S, a new high re- cord thus far for the year, did not re- fleet any anxiety over the quarterly report, to be given out after the close of business. That much of the buying of thls stock represented short cover ing there ls no doubt; but the amount of liquidation was relatively small which meant that most persons thought they saw improvements in sight at no distant date Reports came from Pittsburg that smaller interests were dissatisfied with the effort to hold fln- ished steel prices, and that they would probably force another meeting in this city later in the week. for the purpose of making a readjustment of prices on lower level. There was no confirm ation of this, but it found believers in some quarters.

Wages Reduced by Tariff Protected
ndustry-Business Good, But Res
toration of Pay Contingent on
Taft's Election.

Chicago, September (SpeciaD The
trusts, monopOlies and benefciarieS of
high tariff have inaugurated anew
their scheme of intimidating their en-
ployes to vote for Taft This form
of bribery is we'll illustrated in the
notice which has been posted in the
shops of the Standard Roller Ball Bear
ing Company of Philadelphia, a copy
of which has come into the hands Of
the Democratic national committee.
The notice reads:
THE reduction Of ten per cent in
wages last winter was to have been
restored when business conditions
would warrant it. While we are busy
at present, we feel that it's continua-
ton will depend upon the result of the
presidential election, and that if Mr..
Taft is elected a general improve
ment in all lines of business will er-
suit
'On November 28 we will, therefore,
restore the old rating to all employees
whose wages were reduced ten per
cent. last winter, provided Mr.. Taft
Is elected president
(signed) IS. S. EvELAND,
President"
An investigation reveals the fact
Eveland made a trip to Hot Springs,
Va, saw Mr.. Taft, and obtained his
approval of the course Mr. Eveland
admitted that he had done this when
questioned about the matter, and
stated that others in the iron and
steel business would do the same.
1t will be noticed that the reduction
in wages was made last winter under
a Republican administrator, and still
continues while the concern is enjoy
ing the benefits of the D,ngley tariff,
which it has had for IL years; it
should also be observed that the no.
tees cite the fact, I'VE are busy at
present." so that the advance might
now be made as was promised. But
the company is holding out the bribe
that it will not be made unless Taft
is elected.
Mr.. Eveland said further when these
facts were called to his attention,
that his company Lad 1000 men at
work now, and that orders were pill
ing up so fast that we can hardly catch
up with them" In spite of that he
holds over the heads Of his employees
the threat that their wages will not
be restored if Bryan is elected.
In explaining why he had reduced
wages under Roosevelt and proposed
to restore them under Taft, Mr.. Eve
land said:
'~Taft is a very different man from
Roosevelt 1t is all right for the peo-
pie out west to think that Taft is just
like Roosevelt. Just keep them think
ing that way, but we in the east know
different. Why, there is no compar-
ison between the two"
The Standard Company is a trust
and controls the roller ball bearing
output of the country. 1t makes the
small steel ball bearings used on chill
dren's roller skates, and also $4,000
ball bearings, the largest made in
the country for big machines. Among
those who are interested in it are the
Vanderbilts and Astors of New York,
and several Of its directors are also
directors of the United States steel
trust. The company maintains an
open shop

PROJECTING
IN BANKS
An Ohio Example Of Taft's Posi-
ton and OkIahoma's Proof
of Brvan'S Position.

One of the planks OF the Denver
platform favors guaranteed bank de-
posts. Mr.. Bryan addressed the
Ohio legislature in February favoring
guaranteed deposits. Former Gov.
Herrick subsequently addressed the
legislature in reply to Mr.. Bryan, op-
posing any such protection for banks
and bank depcsiNors.
Mr.. Taft, in his speech of accept
ance, denounced the plank of the Den
yer platform, which hectares for ma
tional law for national banks similar
to the Oklahoma law for state banks.
thereby coinciding in the views Of Mr..
Herrick, and opposing the views of
Mr.. Bryan. Below are two dispatches
showing what Mr.. Bryan stands for
and what MI Tart stands for:
