Financial Review

NEW YORK. March S.-rhe irregular and
uncertain movements of last week in the stock
market were the reflection of the uniformed
speculative sentiment. Dealings were small
and largely in the hands of professional ope-
rators. The disturbing effect of throwing open
the steel market seemed to have passed &c
some extent and conditions in that trade were
reported to have cleared somewhat Price con-
cessions in steel products were reported as
still in progress and the 'postponing of wage
reductions by the Lackawanna Steel company
opened up that phase OF the process Of read
justments going on in the steel industry
Developments IN the copper trade have been
hard to read. and the obscurity and confusion
concerning them has served to keep alive the
effect OF steel trade developments.
Reports OF some large sales of refined cop
per at prices above the recent average and OF
specifications promising larger transactions
were circulated in demonstrative manner,
and market quotations were marked up in
London and New York. Criticism OF the ad-
vance as manipulated and suspicion cast upon
the reports of sales had the effect of causing
sharp relapses in the prices Of copper. There
followed then reports Of a collapse In the cop
per market. and of open market conditions
which met with counter criticism and threw
the whole situation into confusion.
The labor outlook clouded by the pre-
parations making for the struggle in the an
thracite trade incident to the termination OF
the wage agreement on March 81. The demands
formulated on the one hand by the miners and
the argument against the claims published 10y

ference. An incident was the circulation OF
rumor of the intention to shut down the an
thracite mines on April l. until a settlement
with the miners should be secured.

TELLS FUTURE
OF AEROPLANf
LEWIS NIXON DESCRIBES USES
OF AIR CRAFT
Cities viii Have Landing Stations on
Tops of Housewife Anchor
in the Air Reached by
Elevators
LBy Associated Press

NEW YORK, March LEWIS Nixon,
the well known shipbuilder, spoke OF
the possibilities of aerial navigation in
an address at the Richmond County
Automobile club annual dinner last
night.
'Aeroplanes in war, he said, would be
used for scouting, the dropping OF
small bombs and the attack of large
dirigibles.
The field of the helicopter probably
would be largely on the warship, be-
cause of its ability to rise without a
start.
Cities soon would have regular land
ing stations on the tops of houses, Mr.
Nixon said, and already persons We're
building docks where airships might
alight safely.
Just as a big ship anchored far from
shore in deep water, so the airship
would anchor high up in the air and be
reached by special elevators held by
cables fastened to shackles or the
ground.
Based upon observation and calcula-
tions made from results already OBJ
tanned and hence in no sense specula-
tive it was safe to predict, he said
that the airship would soon appear
with a length of from $500 to 5000 feet,
which could easily go with 100 passen-
gers from here to Europe and return
within a week.

MANY LABOR UNIONS
MAY JOIN IN STRIKE
General Public Continues to Patronize
Cars and Suspension Is
Marked by Absence
of Disorder

MANILA, March S:-The strike of
the street car men in this city, which
was declared March 4, has not spread
beyond the railway operatives as yet,
though there is still a possibility that
other labor organizations will go out
in sympathy.
The various labor unions of the city
held a series of meetings on Sunday
for the purpose of organizing an eff
fective boycott against the street rail-
way, but the general public continues
to patronize the cars as freely as has
been the case since the strike was
begun.
There has been no disorder. Details
of the city police, armed with shot
guns, are placed aboard the cars at
night, but they have not been called
upon to quell any riots.
Governor General Smith has decided
to remain in Manila in order to keep
a close watch on the developments of
the strike situation. The other mem
beers of the insular commission have
gone to Baguio in the province of
Benguet.

Especial to The Herald

LONG BEACH, March 7.-Thousands
of people who witnessed the third bal
loon ascension of young Jean Savage of
this city this afternoon feared they
would witness a fatality. Savage went
up about 5000 feet an unusual height,
before cutting loose his parachute, and
the stiff wind prevailing at that alti-
tude swept him swiftly out to sea.
Savage came down in his parachute
beyond the breakers, and without
assistance, but with much difficulty,
gained the shore, the parachute buoy
ing him up. The parachute was
washed up by the breakers shortly aft
erward. The balloon came down some
distance from shore, but was recovered
by launches.
Savage, who is a well known young
man about town. went up for Harry
Wright, the professional balloonist, who
was i'll. The place where he landed in
the breakers was in front of the resi-
dence of ALI Myers, the Goldfield mil
lionaire.
