has been no marked change in any of the deadlocks which have been referred to in previous letters and which are still hanging over the market.
 Decisive action one way or the other Is expected In the iron and steel deadlock as a result of this weeks conferences. If it should come to pass that the verdict is to maintain prices of product and then if no business should follow 1t is morally certain that number of independent pro- ducers will go out after new orders. This was the programme announced by 8 group of independents about ten days ago.
 The pow-wows on the 9th, 10th and 11th may bring these insurgents back to the stand-pat anchorage, but 1t is exceeding ly doubtful. They are dead-set against the high price remedy for depression and believe as firmly as Carnegie or Stewart ever did that the way to loosen things up was to mark down the price of goods
 Then there Is the copper deadlock and the woolen goods deadlock and the cot ton deadlock The theory Is firmly enter tained by very large and influential hold back element that these various situa- tions will have to be liquidated before permanent improvement can be hoped for Railroads are giving 1t out conversa tionally that they are all ready to go ahead and buy new material and equip ment and proceed with their other money spending plan right away. feeling confi- dent that the Interstate Commerce Com mission will rule their way on the rate question.
 It Is observed. however, that no pros- pectuses for new bond issues are being published on the advertising pages of the newspapers or In the financial news col umns. Evidently the railroad managers are still mindful of the saving grace of conservatism and prefer to await the offiical announcement of the Interstate Commerce verdict before committing themselves in black and white.
 The news from Washington as to what the Interstate Commerce Commission is going,,to do comes in very strong these days that the commissioners will favor the railroads.

Alphand did no better in transforming Le Carriers d'Amerique into the Butte de Chaumont as we now see 1t. The air of the terrlls thus transformed is now wholesome.

 The Belgans like to eat and drink to- gether at a common table, and sometimes DO rhaps their healthy appetites might seem to the squeamish foreigner to draw them into the buzzling.

 Everyone knows that the best burgun- dy is to be found in Belgium. So, it seems to me, is now the best champagne and bordeaux.

THE FRENCH sToCKBRoKER
An Important Member of the AristOc-
 racy of MilliOnaires

From Moodys Magazine.
 The French stock brokers are a very small privileged circle who may trace their history as far back as 1904. They were first denominated Agent l. de Change" in an official document on April 5. 16S9.. Their institution, however, was swept away in the stormy days of the great revolution and by an act of parlia- ment passed in April. 1791. the profession of stockbroker was open to all individ- uals. provided they paid a trifng sum of money in exchange for the license.
 The result of so much freedom was im- modiately felt through all sorts of scan- dals due to fraud. swindling and unlim- ited looseness In a very short time the general public had entirely lost confidence in all the matters and in nearly all the individuals concerned with the bourse. The government therefore re-established the exclusive privilege of the Agents of Change and granted them the ex- elusive right to quote the rate of ex- change and the value of public securities, while the 1ale of the latter must neces- sariy be made through them.
 That monopoly, granted to the first holders who had nothing to pay for 1t, may eventually be withdrawn or reduced by new law without any indemnity to the present holders. This, however could pc uoHe OHly IT a new permanent was elected with majority of socialists uni- hes. that is to say, of the political party whose programme Is to hunt capital up to it's very last redoubts."
 While there are HOO seats in the New York stock exchange and about 5000 job bers and brokers on the London stock ex- change. there are only 70 Agents dc Change" at the Paris bourse, and there cannot be more. fat
 If we hear in mind the enormous trans actions done every day. we shall realizs that all the Parisian Agents de Change belong to the modern aristocracy of mil. lonaires. They are sworn officials, ap- pointed each of them by a degree of the president Of the republic with the previous agreement of the minister of finance The duties which the French stock broker dis charges together with the privileges at- tached to them. make up what we term in Paris tune charge d'agent de change The charge" goes generally from father to son, a fact which is readily understood. since the position may be considered as second to none, even In financial circles. The charge" however, may be bought and sold according to certain regulations and provided that the candidates be high ly honorable men, well known in business circles and finally agreed upon by the government. The money 10 be paid for the holding ranges from 1,0co.o00 to 2.000.- GOO francs. IT the candidate cannot dis pose of so much cash. he can take one or

Speedy
From the Youngstown Telegram.

From the Youngstown Telegram.
 The Curbstone club members were dis- cussing the speed of motorcycles when the ancient carpenter, who had just come in, joined in the conversation.
 Talking about motorcycles" he said. "I took count of them in front of my house the other evening.
 T noticed that continual string of them seemed to be coming by the place, 50 l started in counting.
 By the time I had reached 9S7 I made a peculiar discovery. I happened to no- tice by mark of the tire of the wheel that it was the same motorcycle that had been tallying.
 "The rider went so fast round and round the block that mistook him for parade.

: Life of an Automobile

From the 3OullnR MHgdZlHe.
 How long should an auto last? That Is the question and the experts always be- gin answering in chorus: That depends" Depends on what? Some people die young, through belief in "a short life but a mer- ry one" Joy riding and standing out in the rain are not so healthy for a car as regular hours and good garage. On the other hand, the utility of the car may be more important than its longevity \
 Deterioration in the car occurs most rapidly at points where there is friction and vibration. These are, prevalent in varying degrees all over the car. but mod ern designing makes it comparatively easy to remedy them at points where they are most acute.
 First and foremost, the elixir of life to car is plentiful supply. of clean high grade oil. not only to the engine itself. whatever be It's fabrication system. but to every part where friction Is possible. The necessity of wise and methodIcal Implication has been noted before in these pages, and some of its difficulties in minor points emphasized. ' The longevity of a car depends to a great extent on wise and timely replace ments. 4
