organization. Both are old senators and
both are tolerably familiar with tarfn
schedules. They are in complete accord
with the Aldrich program for tarif re-
vision and are exerting powerful inhu-
cree in the framing of the bill.
Quite unexpectedly to most of the Sen
ate, Reed Smoot of Utah. the apostle OF
the Mormon church, whose admission six
years ago was the matter of prolonged
controversy, is taking very active part
in the debate. Senator Aldrich Is reYih-
upon him to handle a number of ques-
lions pertaining to the debate and fire.
duently asks him to reply to interrogato-
ries Senator Smoot is not an orator but
he is ready on his feet. Out in Utah he Is
something of banker and manufacturer
and has a grasp Of business questions.
He has proven himself a careful student
of the tariff. served as chairman of one
of Senator Aldrich's subcommittee and
is now rapidly gaining prestige as lead
er among the senators from west OF the
Mississippi river. He is more of con-
sentative than most of his colleagues
from that section of the country and
gets along very we'll with the Eastern
leaders. Senator Smoot has just entered
upon his second six-year term.
Over on the Democratic side is Senator
Bailey of Texas. whom many regard as
the strongest and most formidable debater
in Congress. He is not the minority
adler but he is virtually taking charge
of the tariff bill on the Democratic side
OF the chamber. Senator Culverson OF
Texas. the minority leader. is not a men,
Der Of the finance committee and there
fore is not in good position to conduct
an opposition on tariff bill. Bailey is
fairly we'll informed about tariff. He was
a. member of the House ways and means
committee for number of years while
he was the minority leader of the House.
He never fails to draw a crowd when he
speaks. for he proceeds with splendid die
tor and enunciation and is always ready
for any senator who dares to interrupt
him. He enjoys crossing swords with the
Republicans, who are rather careful about
getting into an argument with him unless
they are certain about their facts. Sena-
tor Daniel of Virginia is fiaring forth
somewhat in the debates but he is not as
aggressive as an orator as he was 10
years ago, when he loved to plunge into
the thick of talking fray.

MORE CONFIDENCE.

anthracite remained to be sold in the
event of the expected settlement with
the miners of wage agreements The
revival Of anxiety over the prosnects
of delay in the enactment nf tho tariff
revision measure contributed to the de-
preston.
Another factor against the market
was the unfavorabIe weather conditions
for the wheat crop which gained in
huence from the renewed up-turn in
the price of wheat. The halt in the
advance in prices in itself brought tie
usual msgivings of the elimination of
a movement, the completion of opera
lions based on known favorable condi-
tons and the effects to be expected
from an effort to realize profits on an
advance. A powerful factor in sooth-
ing these approximations was the easing
of the money market.
A decisive factor in the later i'm
provement of speculative sentiment
was the conviction that conditions in
the steel industry We're undergoing Il
turn for the better. The publication
of the United States steel earnings
for the first quarter of the year helped
this feeling. OF greater effect was the
report of stiffening Of prices exacted
by the leading producers on several
classes of steel products.
The readiness with which capital Is
interested in railroad bond offerings
opens a way for resumption of the sus-
pended expenditures by the railroads,
but the large proportion of current
bond issues designed to refund pre-
vious short-time obligations for re-
sources already spent enters into tn"
consideration.
