FISCAL TREATIES
ARE MADE PUBLIC
Agreements with Honduras
and Nicaragua Next.

The Senate decided yesterday to make
public the treaties with Honduras and
Nicaragua refunding the public debt and
reorganzng the fiscal systems of those
republics. The action was taken in the
executive session following a special
meeting of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee which recommended such action.
The substance of the treaties has, here
tofore. been stated generally in press dis
patches
Opponents of the treaty have been de-
manding that the treaties with the Cen
trail American republics be made public
and that they be considered in the open
session. The state Department officers
have more than once expressed their
willingness that this should be done.
In making public the treaties certain
messages of the President were disclosed
which We're read with more than usual
interest. they furnish some Of the CO.
gent reasons why the administration be-
leves the treaties should be ratified
without delay. Under the cry of dollar
diplomacy" ratification of the treaties
has heen held up successfully for this
session. With a better understanding
OF the contents of them and of the rea-
sons for urging their adoption, the Sen
ate leaders believe that ratification of
both conventions will follow, If not at
the extra session, certainly at the regu-
lar session in December.

easy and the banks and trust compa-
nies are anxious to loan on stock ex-
change collateral at call.
The liquidation has come from men
more important than the ordinary COM
mission house customers, and the ques-
ton at the close to-day was, of course.
whether or not the liquidation from
wealthy holders of stocks, from men
whose holdings are very largely invest
ment holdings, has ceased. The market
gave some indications that such was the
case. 1t rallied for the first time since
the decline began on Tuesday morning.
but whether or not the rally was strong
enough to display the end of the reac-
ton remained an open question after the
market closed.
Only a small part Of the early losses
were recovered in the course of the
rally Stocks sold off again in the late
trading, and II may be that the recovery
was due to nothing more than the COW
ering OF short contracts and some less
confident of the bearish SPECTATORS
In connection with the market action,
the bank statement was OF peculiar in
terest. 1t showed a contraction of more
than s20,O00,0O0 in the loan account, and
1t was naturally suggested that the loan
reduction was due to the liquidation of
stocks by men who had been carrying
securities for the long pull. At least, no
other logical reason was assigned.

LONDON CARMEN
QUIT ON STRIKE
Great Railway Trouble in
Kingdom May Result.

London. Aug 5.-Twenty thousand car
men struck tonight in obedience to the
request of the Transport Workers Fed
Grafton and also to enforce their own de-
mands for shorter hours and more pay.
Additional labor troubles have cropped
up, and it may lead to one of the big
gest railway strikes that Great Britain
has known.
The danger points are Liverpool and
Hull. At Liverpool the freight handlers of
the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway are
discOntented. and they threaten to tie
up the holiday traffic. At Hull the men
of the Northeastern Railway refuse TO
handle goods shipped by the Great Cen
trail, owing to n dispute with that COM
pany. The new Holland meeting tonight
will decide.
