DEALINGS EXPAND
Varying Price Movements Left Net
Changes Small.

New York, March 17.-The coinci-
dent reception of the new tariff bill
and Of the United States Steel annual
report offered 50 indigestible a mass for
consideration that it proved difficult
OF assimilation. While much that was
presented in the new material was
known in its general purport previ-
ously, there were additional details
and some surprises. In the case of the
new tariff bill the extent of the cuts
in the iron and steel schedules was
called a surprise, although expectation
OF a cut has helped to depress iron and
steel industrials in the stock market.
The provision for increased authorize
ton OF one year treasury certificates
had the effect of suggesting a feeling
Of anxiety over the treasury position
which was not helpful to financial SEN
timent. There is discernible in the
tone of the discussion in the financial
district q belief that the changes pro-
posed in the first draft Of the tariff bill
represent the possible maximum OF the
reductions and that changes will all
tend in the direction of moderating the
cuts. Professional traders have looked
for some expression Of trepidation on
the part Of securities owners upon the
first appearance Of the bill and have
accordingly built up some short ac-
count In the market. Covering opera
lions by this element Were factor in

Steel annual report was scanned with
earnest attention and the detailed
showing of gross operations Of the
subsidiary companies revealed the ex-
tent of the last years depression in the
industry much more effectually than
had the summarized return Of net re-
turns to the holding corporations pre-
viously published. The fact had hardly
been grasped, as stated in the general
remarks OF the chairman of the board
that the production of rolled and other
finished steel products for sale to Gus
toners outside of the organization was
in 1903 only 6,206,932 tons. the lowest
for any calendar year since the United
states Steel corporation has been or

renewed decline in demand following

WHAT TIE PAPERS SAY.
A Self Made Judge.


Any young man who thinks that he
car never amount to much because he
never went to college is invited to
study the career of William Fl. Will
liams OF Derby, soon to be judge of the
superior court of the state of Connecti-
cut. The state agrees that he will
adorn the bench, yet Mr.. Williams, not
only never went to college, be he never
went to a law school, never went to a
high school, aud his acquaintance with
the district school of his early days
was limited. too.
He was the son of poor widow and
at 10 years he was unloading sacks of
grain at a gristmill near Derby. He
worked hard, studied in his spare time.
completed his education, got chance
to study law in a Seymour law office
and was admitted to the bar. Colonel
Wooster was the leading lawyer of
Derby and a leader Of the state bar.
Young Williams stacked up against
him several times and came off with
enough of the honors to convince the
colonel that he had better have Will
hams with him than against HIM on his
cases. They became law partners.
Judge Williams career from that time
is well known.
For a self educated boy to become a
leading lawyer and a judge of high
court is greater achievement than to
lay waste a kingdom. Let's all take off
our hats to Judge Williams.-Water

1t is interesting to observe that Com
missioner Corbin also recommends the
revival of the state tax as a part of his
scheme to distribute more equitably
the burdens of government among all
who are able to contribute their share.
But 1t is not our purpose to comment
at this time upon these measures or

ought to be thoroughly studied and
6igested by the business interests of
the state, which are Incorporated. 1t
ought not to be too greedily seized up
on by the corporations already taxed
as a possible escape from their present
rates of taxation or from an increased
rate, nor by the small towns of the
state as a sure escape from state tax
