Buffalo, May 2-President Taft and
Secretary of State Knox we're guests
of honor Saturday night at the banquet
held in honor of the two leading COM
mercial organizations of Buffalo-the
Chamber of Commerce and the Manu-
facturers' club. Thomas Penney, for
mer district attorney of Erie county,
acted as toastmaster.
Secretary Knox devoted himself to
an explanation of the recent reforms
in the consular service. He declared
anew that diplomacy and trade must
go hand IN hand and that it was a
misconception to construe it other
wise.
Appeal for BaIIinger.
The president devoted the greater
part of his speech to purely local top
les. He spoke of Niagara Falls as an
embarrassment because of its scenic
grandeur and industrial utility. This
brought him to a discussion of the
conservation of natural resources and
indirectly to a reference to Secretary
Ballinger when he said:
Let me lift my voice in behalf of
those who are responsible for carry
ing forward this work and plead that
they shall not be traduced and mis-
represented in reaching a solution of
a problem most difficult"

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

While an improvement was noted IN
the general stock market today, there
was no change in the local situation as
compared with that of yesterday, unless
perhaps the tendency TO be somewhat shy
about making bids when the list was
gone over during the call was slightly
more pronounced. But there were no
concessions in the asking price, so that
tho &me disparity existed today between
thosl two levels.
AS mi&4t be expected in such situa-
ton, the~ was little trading. What is
called liQuidation,f the shaking out or
speculative holdings slightly margined,
is not often witnessed on the local Hx-
change, as that species of holding1Efs
not common here.
At the same time there has been a
shading off in prices, SO that some are of
the opinion this Is sort of bargain-day
period in the local stock market. How
ever, there were none of the usual symp-
toms of such a condition.
A suggestion of the recent bid of %
made on the floor of the exchange for a
control of the Firemen's Fire Insurance
Company may possibly be traced in the
change made in the bid for the stock to-
day, when 2O14 was substituted for 10.
which was recorded yesterday No change
was made in the asking price at 30.
There were some indications of a mar
ket for the preferred stock of the graphic
bid from 30 to SO. but although the ask
ing price came down to "a, there were no
transactions. Yesterday the asking price
was 40.

LONDON. January 21.-In the late
dealings the approach OF the week lend
absenteeism and fortnightly sentiment
were influences which tuned down the
buoyancy Of the markets which has been
bred this week by the eliminating gains
of conservatives at general elections. The
political aspect, however, sustained senti-
ment with cheerfulness at prices reactino
from the highest level. The domestic
markets closed steady. Foreign securi-

Roosevelt Not a Literary Person.

From the London Saturday Review.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been made a MEM
Der of the French Academy Of Moral and
Political Sciences, and will be received
by the institute on his return from
East Africa. The honor, it appears. is
merited by the 'originality'' OF Mr.. Roose-
velts literary output So runs the Of
fetal bill. 1t Is quaint, but is it true
one? The French journalists. unfortu-
nately, rather give things away. The Mr.
Roosevelt who is being honored is not
really literary person at all. He is the
REORGANIZATION OF Anglo-Saxon energy
and the apostle of national idealism."
Anyhow, we rather wonder at the French
institute. Can that body really afford to
let itself down in this way?
