New York. March 15-There was again
to-day only a sluggish and desultory
movement Of prices IN the stock market.
the distinguishing feature OF the market
being, however. the failure OF values 10
recede under developments that In such
narrow speculative conditions as those
which now prevail might ordinarily have
been expected to produce a sharp decline
in at least certain stocks.
To begin with. all the foreign bourses
were heavy, and in some instances dis
tinctly weak under a recurrence of the
Austro-Servian diplomatic difficulty. Just
exactly Of what this difficulty to-day con-
sisted did not seem clear. except that the
Servian reply 10 recent note addressed
by the government OF Austria 20 that

depression in the European markets.
mere was no large selling OF stock here
Tor foreign account
More Delay at Washington.
Again to-day the news from Washing
ton indicated that there was going 10 be
more delay than had been looked for in
the organization OF the House OF Repre-
sentatives, owing TO the fight over the
question Of the adoption OF the rules
governing the extra session OF Congress.
and, further. there was another and
rather striking break IN the price of
copper metal It appeared to be true that
some OF the large netal-sellinE companies
on saturday and to-day offered copper for
SAFE at figures lower than any touched
since tho II 81 cent price quoted In the
panic days OF 1907.
But strange 10 say, all these matters
a1ected the security market hardly AT all.
ana then only toward the close of the
business day, when few spectators for
ule ran mustered up courage enough 10
attack Amalgamated Copper stock with
a number OF struggling short sales. which
induced but a relatively small decline In
the price Of the issue. The general mar
ket sympathized with this final reces-
sion. but IN such feeble way as 70 be
barely noticeable.
Watch Work of House.
There were those observers who at
tributed as the real cause Of the selling
movement to which reference has been
made the upset that occurred late in
the day in the House Of Representatives.
when, after the election OF Mr.. Cannon
as Speaker, the motion failed 10 pass
adopting the old rules Of the House as
those governing this extra session.
As the stock exchange was closing. Il
was much in doubt Just what the de-
cisiOn Of the House on this question
either had been or was likely 10 be and
II was apparent that the sentiment Of
the House was Pretty nearly evenly divid-
ed on the subject
Having due regard to the business in
terests Of the country financial senti-
ment would undoubtedly be better pleased
II the old rules should be kept in force
until the regular session, inasmuch as
this would help 10 secure a speedy enact
meat OF the new tariff bill
II is realized however, that at least
certain amount OF revision OF these
rules cannot long be postponed. and II
Is altogether probable that whatever hap
pens the dominant party In Congress will
not suffer any prolonged delay in the de-
bate upon the new tariff schedules.

PLEASING THE FAIR.


1rreVerant persons suggest that
mans only object in life is to please
woman and to serve her Slightly
exaggerated this statement. perhaps;
yet there must be some truth at the
bottom OF it. Otherwise, asks a writer
in Hacper's weekly. why SHOULD man
wait or woman at all? Why take
pleasure in being agreeable to her?
Why go out of his way to assist her?
IN other words Why should he be chiv-
alrous?
ChivaIry is the expression of man s
real, instructive Difference for women.
Although, like other instructive feel
inGs, it is modified or rooted up by
education and civilization. the CIlival-
rous instinct nevertheless still makes
itself felt in modern man. 1t compelS
him when confronted with women, 70
pass through three different stages.
IN the first place he strives to attract
WOmans attention; in the second to
please her; finally to serve her.
The urconcerned are highly diverted
by the first. There is no end to the
things a man will do to attract a Wo-
mans attention. Nothing is too ap-
surd. One man found it necessary to
spoil his patent leather shoes. He

gle there, stupidity.
Other men use other methods; some
grow spry and climb fences, stumble
over their own feet; some imagine
themselves the proud possessors OF 4
voice and exercise it; others whistle
out of tune or tWirl their mustaches
Still others grow disconnected and for
get where they are going or lose the
thread of their conversation.
So much for the desire of being no.
ticed. When it comes to pleasing w0
men men are more particular. They
then strive for personal perfection.
The intellectual ones go about with
poetry in their breast pockets and
learn it by heart, ready to repeat il
at the first occasion. Or they dabblc
into art or literature or some ism
in order to acquire the correct pose.
The more matter OF fact puzzle over
material things-whether their hair is
parted in the right place; whether the
red or the blue tie will make the bet
ter impression. For men are vain and

States the basis, instead of the value
mentioned in the manifest accompany
ing the shipment.
1t is expected that France will inn
pose her maximum tariffs Immediately
on the termination of the existing
agreement The United States will be
practically helpless so far as retalia-
ton is concerned, until March 30, 1870
One measure of retaliation that has
been considered is the exclusion abso-
lutely of French champagnes and
sparkling wines Undoubtedly these
could be shut out of the American
market under the pure food law, for
it is we'll known to the government
chemists that certain preservatives are
used in preparation of the French
wines which are forbidden or are sub
iects of regulation under the food and
drugs act.
The original trade agreement with
France was made on June 1, 1898, un-
der which substantial reductions were
made in the duties on French i'm
ports, principally champagnes and
liquors. In return the government of
France gave reciprocal advantages
to certain products of the United
States, principally argols. canned
meats. lemons, oranges, and certain
fruits, fresh and dried, and woods,
sawed timber and paving blocks. But
the spirit of the reciprocal agreement
has not been observed in very many
important respects.
Secretary Wilson made statement
recently in the course Of an official
conference on the subject Of recipro-
city with France, that not a pound of
American meat had been admitted to
France since he had been secretary of
agriculture. notwithstanding the trade
agreement is supposed to give favored
rates to the American meat producers.
The French have found an effective
method of exclusion in hard sanitary
measures imposed, by which the
American products have been ex-
Guided.
