THE SENATE WILL IMPOSE
SECRECY ON THE TARIFF

Washington, March 22.-Emulating 6
the ways and means committee OF the
house, the senate finance committee
will take precautions to prevent the
divulging of the schedules of the tar
if until such a time when the bill will
be completed. In the few sessions the
committee held, the rates were not
discussed, the business being confined
to questions of procedure, such as
agreeing upon the employment of ex-
perts in tariff making to aid in pre-
pairing the bill. The democratic COM
mitteemen will not be consulted until
the bill is perfected, though they will
be given an opportunity to examine
it before it is presented to the SEN
ate. Aldrich plans for the republicans
to perfect the bill, then submit it to
the full committee, and the democrats
will have chance to submit a minor
ity report to the senate at the same
time that the bill is reported
The finance committee has decided
not to incorporate figures in the bill
until it is completed. Tables will be
prepared which will be kept under
cover in the committee rooms. Also
the question of rates is to be postpon-
ed until the phraseoIogy of the various
principles to be incorporated in the
bill, is agreed upon.
Washington, March 22.-The first
gun in the tariff debate was fired in
the house today iby Payne of New
York. In opening he declared the coun
try was overwhelmingly in favor of
protective tariff but he did not be-
lieve there was man within the
sound of his voice who would rise in
mis- seat and say he was in favor of
tearing down every custom house in
the United States. He declared the
Ding1ey bill had been a boon to the
people of the United States. In proof
Of which statement he cited the i'm
mense collection of revenues and the
expenditures under it, as given in the
recent report on the bill. These ex-
penditures included 5O,00O,O0O for the
Panama Canal for which no bonds
were issued. The entire surplus over
ordinary expenditures had been $125,
100000. He said:
"Surely not bad showing for rev
enue bill which was also protective
measure"
No tariff" he declared, 3" could be
revised without hating the business
The revenues were not keeping III
with the expenditures and the time

had come to hunt for more revenues.
The bill" he said, was prepared with
the greatest care as the result Of long
hours of work and with the fullest in
formation before the committee"
He attributed the loss in revenues
to business disturbances OF 1907 and
1908.
Washington, D. C., March 22.-The
attention of American manufacturers
will not for the next few months be
entirely focused upon the proposed
tariff revision in this country. France
proposes to revise its tariff and in the
changes to be made the United States
is vitality interested. If the proposed
French tariff bill should be enacted in
to law in it's present shape, American
trade would be injuriously affected.
Contrary to the usual custom. the
measure had it's origin in the Tariff
Committee of the French Chamber of
Deputies and the attitude Of the Gov
ernment toward it, therefore, has not
formally been defined in Parliament.
The probabilities are, however, that
the bill will undergo a number of
changes before it finally is enacted in
to law which, it is expected, will be
about the first part of next year.
Some interesting facts in regard to
the new measure are CLEANED from a
compilation entitled Proposed new
customs tariff of France" prepared by
N. L. Stone, Tariff Expert of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor, the
object of which is to indicate the pro
posed changes of tariff rates on goods
which the United States either ex-
ports to France or could export under
favorable conditions.
Taking upon the articles covered by
existing France-American agree ment
it is found that the following are af-
fected by the proposed changes. Can
ned meats-It is proposed to advance
the general rate of 20 frances per 100
kilos to so frances, an increase of so
per cent while leaving the minimum
rate of Is frances unchanged. While
the agreement remains in force, the
proposed change would, therefore, not
affect American canned meats.
Fresh apples and pears-Under the
existing agreement these fruits are ad
mitted at the rate of 2 francs per 100
kilos. 1t is proposed to advance the
minimum rate to francs and In
crease of $50 per cent, and to increase
the general rate from 5 to francs
Should the increase of these and 9th
er minimum rates covered by the exist
ing agreement lead to its abrogation

NEW YORK COTTON
PRICES WERE LOWER

NEW YORK, Feb. There has been
more or less weakness in the cotton
market since a week ago. The decline
Up TO yesterday amounted to is to 20
points, with a slight recovery yesterday.
The Liverpool markets have been DUH
and heavy and the spot markets weak
the world over.
It is but natural that there should be
q slack demand for yarns, indeed the
tariff uncertainty is the cause OF the
unwillingness of manufacturers TO go
far in the future, and this is but a re-
Election Of the very cause Of the dizziness
In all American industries, and TO q
certain extent in foreign industry as
well. A deep revision is the hope Of the
English manufacturers. They look long
ingly 10 this market.
The receipts of cotton are heavy and
there are no indications that the Re
Ceipts viii drop of. January 10 was the
cate set for the reduction In receipts TO
be evidenced, but as yet there Is no
sign of a let-up. The visible supply at
this time IS 100000 bales. This is the

year for many years.

Volume of Floating Stocks---Traction Shares

Last week on the local stock market

ably due to the fact that investments
are well held and the floating supply
of stock is not large.
This Is certainly true of the street
railroad stocks. and also of the bonds.
The annual reports Of the public utility
corporations that are at hand have all
showed a satisfactory condition. The
report of tine Washington Gas Company
has not been made public although it
is required by law to file its report with
Congress by January %. If it has not
made a big gain 80 earnings during the
year it will be disappointing 20 stock
holders, who are confidently expecting
a good statement. The fact that there
has been so much agitation against the
quality of the gas served to consumers
by the company and that there is an
insistent demand for lower rates has
caused a little liquidation OF this stock
for immediate delivery and at the buy

There was a report on Change vester-

RESERVE DECREASE
AND MONEY RATES
Shifting Funds to Trust
Companies Not Likely TO
Affect Money.

NEW YORK Feb. 7.-On January 50
last the surplus reserve Of the assocf-
ated banks of this city was S27, 697,sl5.
Yesterday the reserve showed but
$40 335, 500, indicating a loss for the week
OF Sl7,S60. 600. This is the heaviest loss
that the reserve has sustained for many
a week Moreover the surplus is less
than it has been at any time for months,
with the single exception of the week
ending December 10 when it was
$1,000 600. From then to January 3. II
rose TO Ss9,aSl. 600. and IN two weeks is
back TO the $40 $50 500 point A loss OF
s20000o90 in deposits and specie offset
each other.
The movement OF the previous week
In which the trust companies strengths
ened themselves against the new law
requiring them TO carry 10 per cent re-
ment. A year ago the surplus reserve
was so $50 10. and the loans 81 f39, l55, 009
The loans now are $1.343, 667, 400.
Just what effect this shifting OF re-
sources VIII have on the money market
remains TO be seen. However with
commercial demands as moderate as
they are and with no special call for
money from any other source than the
