WASHINGTON, June 6.-Haying
acted upon most of the vexed prob
lens in the cotton schedule last week,
the senate expects to complete this
schedule on Monday or Tuesday.
This will bring the senate face to
face with the woolen schedule, which
virtually is a re-enactment of the
Dingley rates, but nevertheless will be
fought by the progressive Republi-
cans" aided by Democratic senators.
AS night sessions will be held
throughout the week, indications point
to the completion of the woolen sched-
ules by Thursday or Friday.
No program has been outlined as to
the schedules to be taken UP next, but
ii is probable some work will be done
on the free list.
The finance committee has been
called to meet Monday to outline the
policy of the senate so far as it Is con-
Cerned.
The date will be fixed also for re-
porting amendments on number of
questions not acted on in cotton.
On account of the progress made last
week, senate leaders are predicting the
bill will be voted upon in the senate
by June 10, and that congress will be
ready to adjourn before July 4.

TRUST TO HOLD
MILLION SHARES
UNITED STATES STEEL PLAN
ENLIVENS PARIS
ENTRANCE TO FRENCH MARKET
NOTABLE VICTORY
Episode Contributes in Great Measure
to Prestige of Stocks of Foremost
American Industrial Con-
solicitations
By Associated Press.O


NEW YORK, June 6.-There was q
sudden rekindling of the speculative
spirit in the New York securities
market last week and toward the end
of the week this resulted in a state ol
excitement not witnessed in the market
for more than two years.
Various incidents served to awaken
the market, but apparently it was the
project to introduce the United States
Steel stocks in the Paris market which
was of most effect.
The great reservoirs of French capi-
tai comprised in the numerous small
accumulations of that thrifty people
are considered the most inviting field
of supply for that attractive commod-
ity known to the financial world.
Not only does it furnish an abundant
supply, but investments once distri-
buted among French holders find a
lodgment so tenacious and free from
the usual vicissitudes of constant
supporting by speculative maneuvors
that stability is thus insured.
Field Hard to Invade
This field, however, is regarded as the
most difficult of access by outside en-
terprises, owing to the combined ef-
fects of the extreme conservatism of
the French investor and the rigid re-
quirements of the French law and
bourSe regulations.
The news that way had been found
by the United Steel sponsors to thread
this labrynth appealed Immediately to
the speculative sentiment.
1t was reported that the plan for
dealing in the United States Steel
shares in Paris would involve an accu-
mutation of as much as a.million shares
for lodgment in a trust, against which
certificates would be issued as the
medium for transactions in France.
The episode was regarded as adding
greatly to the prestige of the stocks of
the great American industrial consoll-
dations.
Peace Between Railroads
An outburst in the transcontinental
railroad stocks had it's inception in the
formal agreement made between the
Union Pacific and the Northern Pacific
for the Joint use of trackage in re-
gion beyond Seattle.
This was interpreted as a definitive
treaty of peace between the two great
railroad powers and as providing final
assurances against such a damaging
conflict as was involved in the contest
for control of the Burlington.
Intimations were circulated in Wall
street that the status of the st. Paul. 5
Pacific coast extension was definitely
fixed at the same time. This group of
railroads was affected further by the
Atchison's offer of $26, 900, 900 of convert
ible bonds and the consequent insur-
ance of it's financial requirements
Rumors of intended increase in divi-
dends on Hartman railroad stocks
and of an exchange of Southern Pacific
preferred stock for the combination in
duced a furious speculation in those
stocks.
