CASTRO MUST DEPART

France Intends to Force HIM to

Washington April 9-The French govern
ment has informed the State Department Of its
determination to put into effect Immediately the
decision to expel ex-President Castro of Venez-
uela from Fort de France, Martinique, and
compel him to return to Europe
The plan is to put him on board the first yes
sci touching at Fort de France. II this decision
is carried out. Castro will be on his way TO
Europe in a day or two. unless his physical
condition is such that ocean trip at this
time would put his life in jeopardy The first
steamer scheduled touch at the Martinique
port Europe bound is the French liner Ver-
sailIes due there tomorrow
State Department officials gratifed by
the way in which the French government has
acted. France, the officials say. has realized
the possibilities in the case and has met the
wishes Of the United States in barring the ex-
President
Some Of the prominent officers Of the govern
ment are disposed to look Castro's reported
illness with suspicion, taking the ground that
It may be q clever ruse designed by him to
make it appear that return to Europe IS
necessary to obtain surgical aid. when in fact,
the real purpose is to save his face" He
realizes they say. that conditions for him on
this side of the Atlantic are against him. and
that his best course is to go back to Europe
and watch for opportunity later.

DULL TONE IN
STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Hesitation and
constraint made themselves felt in the
stock speculation again today following
the volatile movement of Saturday. The
explanation of the action of the market
was somewhat obscure. It was suspected
that a process Of distribution of stocks
under cover might be going on for ac-
count of some Of the most important
financial interests. That the appearance
of things was designedly confused was
taken for granted, and the abundant re-
sources displayed in the work of forming
this appearance made the smaller following
Of habituaI traders wary in extending their
operations.
The dullness into which the market fell
from time to time was due partly to large
reduction of the outstanding short interests
by the covering operations responsible for
the buoyant rise in prices Saturday.
The assembling of congress had its usual
restraining effect on the speculative spirit.
1t was understood at the outset that the
presidents message would not be pre-
sented today and the stock market be-
lieved itself TO be accurately posted on the
contents of that document. The soothing
effect of that supposed knowledge was
somewhat impaired by an intimation that
it was TO be followed at early date by
other special messages, devoted to the
topics in which the stock market takes a
particular interest. There was not much
confidence in what might be the contents
Of these still unwritten messages.
Another sudden drop in American sugar
was regarded as suggestive and helped to
prompt a selling movement of wider
scope At the same time there was an
aggressive demand for other stocks. This
had a neutralizing effect and kept the
market unsettled.
There was occasional demand for Read
ing, with insistent assertions that divi-
dend increase was near. Sales of Rock
Island preferred at 80 made g new record
for that stock, due to reiterated reports
that it would soon go on per cent
basis. These and like points of strength
gave the market a spotty appearance and
did not alter the weakness of others,
especially in the metal group and among
the Pacific railroads.
The question of wage readjustment
among railroad employees was discussed.
but without greatly disturbing effect. The
feeling is due in part to assumption that
the railroad managers stand ready to make
concessions in demands for increased
wages. The high cost of living is given
as an indication of a likelihood that
higher wages may be conceded, although
it is pointed out that reductions were not
made in the late period of depression.
There were transfers of currency again
to San Francisco and foreign exchange
rates held at a figure where more gold
was engaged for South America.
Money rates were not changed, but
money brokers reported some time loans
on special collateral at rates from 51a to
6 per cent.
Bonds we're firm. Total sales, par value,
