LIMITED SCALPING OPERATIONS
FEW IMPORTANT CHANGES
IN QUOTATIONS.

work has been stopped on the new
plant of the American Steel and Wire
Company, at Corey, Ala, and 500 men
thrown out of work. The Carnegie
Steel Company has blown out four
furnaces in ten days. Three more will
be placed out Of commission next
week
The Mexican situation was not es-
pecially cheerful, and the bears are
likely to attack industrials on lessen
ing business and conservativeness of
these corporations, and further en-
couraged by the belief In many circles
that the decisions will not be favor
able.
The Missouri Pacific situation Is get
ting better, and the election of strong
banking interests should check ia
miliarity by bears.
The first two hours of the afternoon
brought no improvement in trading
and but the slightest change in values
on the leading stocks, barely one
eighth. Steel was exactly b off from
where il closed yesterday, while Union
Pacific was also off u, and Reading

better idea of the regular dullness and
limited fluctuations than the net
changes of u In the three active lead
ers. The fluctuations of the Ave hours
were within II point, a weak opening,

NEW YORK. April Att was de-
cidedly dull session, even the bears mov-
ing Ianguidly. while the bulls were
hanging on to what they had. 1t Is
the usual kind Of market at the end of
the week, with but halliday session
between today and possible decision
Monday. No one cares about extending
ones trades. the evening up process be-
ing in order and likely to be more gen.
eral tomorrow. Everyone hopes that
the trust decisions may be Forthcoming
on Monday, because 1t Is recognized that
the whole country is waiting for the
clearing Of the obstacle to general i'm
provement in business. but there are
few who have any idea that II will be
handed down, although there are but
few more opportunities for decisions
during the April term.
Expert opinion on the market is that
1t is in good shape, better buy than
sell, rather oversold, and in position
TO rally easily. But II is further ad-
mitted that there is no incentive to
buy stocks" and traders are very
bearish." ... ......-
Opinions evidently do not agree and
traders do not appear to care much
one way or the other. while the public
is utterly Indifferent. Fractional nrofits
are quickly taken in.

the discouraging order. Construction

Taft Preparing Reply
To Senate Resolution
On Guggenheim Grant

President Taft is preparing TO re-
spond to the resolution introduced In
the Senate yesterday, and passed, call
ing upon the Administration for Its
reasons for apparently giving the Gug-
genheim interests a complete monopoly
of the terminal facilities of the coal
fields now famous through the contro-
yersy over the Cunningham claims.
The defense of the Administration
will be that a monopoly has not been
granted to the Guggenheim nor to any
other single interest; that there was
no reason to believe that the Guggen-
helms controlled the Controller Bay
Railroad and Navigation Company. and
that after all only 16O rods of water
front has been, conveyed to the COM
pany at Controller bay, and only $50
acres to the railway.
While the resolution of Senator La
Toilette was directed to the Secretary
of Interior, the President will take 1t
upon himself to prepare the answer,
which shall go to the Senate. He un-
derstands that the inquiry is directed
at his Administration and at former
Secretary Ballinger. He will. there
fore, take It upon himself to communi-
cate the facts to the Senate.

By JUDSoN c. wELLIvER.

sessing exclusive information can go
and enter the lands withdrawn without
taking chances that somebody else will
beat him to them"
Advantage Is Obvious.
The advantage of this situation. in the
case Of the precious harbor lands on
Controller bay, is obvious.
The question is whether. after this
secret opening of these lands. people
connected with the railroads did actu-
ally enter the tidewater lands in the
interest of the railroads. That question
will be answered when Senator La Fol
Iette's resolution of inquiry Is answered.
The resolution calls for full informa-
ton as to whether these lands have been
entered. filed upon, selected or occu-
pied, when, and by whom. The Forest
Service authorities are of the impress
sion that entries have been made:
That the procedure followed In this
particular case did actually make
secrecy possible. is shown by the fact
that the Forest Service experts in such
matters, actually did not know OF the
Withdrawals of the Chugach lands,
when they were first asked about the
matter yesterday.
In answer to an inquiry by telephone,
the official who would ordinarily be eX-
pected to give the information In such
a case. replied that there had been no
elimination of lands from the Chugach
forest
He was assured that the elimination
was made last October. but insisted
that he never heard of II.
Ordinary Routine Reversed.
Later, on making investigation in de-
tail, the official discovered that the
elimination had been made.
In the ordinary procedure, the entire
forest service would have been informed
of all steps. But this was no ordinary
procedure.S The whole routine or such
cases had been reversed. Ordinarily,
the recommendation for an elimination
of forest lands is made by the forest
service, which draws up the form OF a
proclamation. This is sent to the In
terror Department, and becomes rou-
tine matter. Duly approced In routine
processes. the proclamation is ready lot
the signature of the President: But II
does not commonly go TO the President
for the signature. There is kept In the
Interior Department confidential clerk
"a woman, by the way-who has the
exclusive authority to sign the name
Of the President to all such documents;
and this she commonly does.
But the Chugach AFFAIR was very dif-
ferent The Forest Service refused to
recommend the elimination; the matter
was appealed to Secretary Ballinger and
President Taft: and they decided In
favor of making the elimination, con-
Quoted the further proceedings, and did
the business by the executive order pro-
cess instead of the proclamation method.

On the advance very few shares have
been sold, relatively. More selling was
