STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Tendency Toward Weakness
Some Specials Show Strength.

The record Of the opening yesterday
was not impressive beyond the fact
that the tone seemed to be fairly
strong. Little can be said TO reflect
reason for the action OF stocks, except
that there are few buyers and the sell
ers are not vigorously pushing any
movement toward lower levels ana
buyers are not aggressive. 1t Is case
Of OF agin, on agin, gone agin, Flnne-
gan; sometimes weak, sometimes
strong and at other times nothing do
ing. To conflne a review TO the action
of the market and tho arising OF daily
factors. directly and indirectly inhu-
encing its movements. would require
very limited space. The chief factors
which form the substantial basis OF
energy for bull movement are so
pronounced and are developing so rap
idly that other influences are minor
and incidental. and have only senu-
mental application. But ii must ne
conceded that these passing factors
are sufficient TO keep the market
wavering between advancement and
decline, so tho recital Of Irregular
movements largely constitutes the
present requirements of reviewer 81
the stock market. One stock opens a.
an advance and another shows loss.
while in few minutes these stocks re-
verse their market positions. Such Is
the average story of each day, so
summary Of daily transactions for
some time has been monotonous re-
iteration of stock operations, the
weekly results displaying few vital
changes 10 warrant decided future pre-
dictions. Yesterday was no exception
10 this general rule, and fractional do
clines followed fractional gains AZ the
opening. The specials exhibited the
most strength. and Central Leather
was among the leaders Of that class.
The coppers, especially Utah Copper.
gave evidence OF strength. bu, not suf-
liCiently 10 warrant any enthusiasm.
Erie and Southern Railway issues re-
ceived some attention on the bull side
and American Can stocks had modcr-
ate strength. The optimistic inter
views given out by Chairman Lovett
of the Hartman roads failed 10
bring any special buying stimula
ton, and the market remained in
its spongy condition. notwithstand-
ing the lack of bearish informa-
ton. Exceptions of strength were
shown IN q few stocks in the afternoon
trading. such as American Cotton oil
and the Can issues. The latter held
ship which were circulated TO keep
them on the upward move. Colorado
Fuel and Iron touched a new high Tor
the year; but the closing quotations
revealed TO buying spirit and stocks
sagged in dull indifferent channel.
with no promise Of action either way.
The announcement of the initial I'M
portation Of gold this season emphl-
sized the fine condition Of our crops
and general conditions. Money held
an influence over the market. az the
interior demands for funds were sum
Gent 10 cause reduction OF New
York balances, and suggested the calls
for funds in outside points. The inter
national indications are that more gold
will come from abroad and the stock

future in this direction.

ompled I'm the late history Of the king
dom. But this one comes on s'ach-
wafer Of Parliamentary WEAKNESS fol-
lowing no important agitation and asso'
ciated with no considerable manifesta-
tons of passion. Perhaps without ais
respect II may be added that there Is
marked difference between the personaii-
ties of the gonists on both sides OF
to-day and those OF generation ago {;
and of course there is now wholly lack
ing the intense exacerbation incident TO
the great schism in the Liberal party
which caused the defeat Of the nrst
Home Rule bill.
The prospects of the bill are also such
as to induce an apathetic rather IMAM
an animated attitude. The measure Is
humanity certain to pass. That was as
sured when the passage Of the Parlia-
ment bill deprived the House OF LORDS
of the power to veto It. 1t Is not GER
tain that the House Of Lords will have
anything to do with this bill. If II Is
regarded as a money bill the Lords Will
nave IlSut w iVJSN'
amend 1t; and that 1t may be 30 re-
garded is apparent, for anything is for
that purpose a money bill which deals
in any manner with taxes, charges on
tie consolidated funds, provision OF
money by Parliament or anything OF
that sort. OF course, the Home Rule bill
is conspicuously and very largely de-
voted to such matters OF finance. But
even IL It were not a money bill 1t would
be in the power Of the Commons to pass
1t in spite of the Lords by doing so at
three successive sessions, the third pas
sage being at least two years after the
original introduction. SO there is no oc-
casion for getting excited owe something
which is q foregone conclusion.
1t will be a strange anti-climax to
have a measure which for many years
excited such violent passions finally dis
posed of in so quiet and llstless man
ner. 1t will be well If the result of It's
passage shall be to keep passions al
layed and to provide permanent solu-
ton Of the much vexed problem.

THE RESULT IN Maryland.

Control of the Republican State Con-
yention turns on the vote Of single
small county, where an official count may
h necessary TO determine the winner The
President carried twice as many coun-
ties as Colonel Roosevelt did and was
defeated only through the unexpected de-
lection of Baltimore city-a result due
TO the intrusion of an issue entirely for
eign 10 the merits Of Mr.. Taft's candi-
dacy.
The Republicans Of Baltimore city
and of the strong Republican counties
of Western Maryland had become very
impatient of the domination in state pol
itics of the Stone machine The new pri-
mary law put an effective weapon In
their hands with which to crush the
power of the Baltimore boss and they
used 1t remorselessly. The Roosevelt
sweep in Baltimore city and county and
in that part Of Western Maryland where
Republican voters are most numerous
and most independent was in a large
measure a protest against the Stone
regime. In Southern Maryland and on
the Eastern Shore, to which Mr.. Stones
sway did not extend. Governor Colds
borough and National Committeeman
Jackson encountered no factional oppo-
sition and Mr.. Taft carried these sec
tions solidly. The President has again
suffered undeservedly for the faults Of
Others. Had there been no anti-Stone
fnsurrection lie would easily have car
ried the state.
Maryland's primary law is perhaps the
most vicious so far invented. 1t is espe-
cially repugnant TO Republican principles
aud practice. since II re-establishes the
unit rule, which the Republican national
organization long ago repudiated. Under
II the Congress district lines are wiped
out aud solid delegation at large Is sent

iy representing either the majority OF
the voters in the state at large or ma

SEES DECAY OF ORTHODOXY

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: One startling evidence OF the great
change that has come over religious
thought Of to-day Is the liberal attitude
taken by many ministers Of orthodox
churches. AS an example Of this. DR..
Grant invited n heather" teacher. Abdul

In introducing him Or. Grant said: He
teaches the fundamental unity or all re-
iiglons-a truth in which this congrega-
ton believes most profoundly" Fancy

FAKE PROSECUTIONS

Not a few even OF his present sup
porters must regret that Colonel Roose-
welt, in promoting his own candidacy,
continues to make so many assertions
which inevitably tend to cloud great
reputation and blot the memory or a
great career Thus on Sunday he charged
that President Taft's suits against the
Standard Oil and Tobacco trusts were
flake prosecutions" and said that the
President permitted the Department OF
Justice 80 TO shape matters that the
result was a complete notification OF
"all the good results Of his suit The
courts, not Mr.. Taft, fixed the terms or
reorganization for the dissolved trusts.
The Attorney General urged the courts
to make them much more drastic than
they did. In the case of the Tobacco
trust, for example, the court refused to
order the sale of a retail agency, the
United Cigar Stores Company, In ac-
cordance with the Attorney Generals
recommendation and declined to keep
the new companies into which the COM
DlIdllpu was ulNlutu ouPNh''
for period of years, as he urged.
In pursuing the course that they did
the courts followed the precedent which
had been set in Colonel Roosevelts own
administration, when the pro rata dis
tribution of the Northern Securities
Company took place. II President Taft
is responsible for the results Of the To-
bacco and Standard OIL prosecutions
Colonel Roosevelt was responsible for
the precedent which was followed If
the later ones were fake prosecutions,
so was the earlier And If the prosecu-
tons were merely fake" why are
Colonel Roosevelt's Steel trust friends
indignant because Mr. Taft has brought
an action against their combination?

Occasions When It Should and Should
Not Be Shown.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There seems 10 DO a great deal or
comment aroused by the heroic action or
the men on the Titanic as to whether the
privilege Of entering the lifeboats first
would have been accorded the women and
children il women possessed equal political
rights with men. Personally, l had never
supposed that men were courteous to woil-
en- as a reward OF merit for taking no In
terest in the government OF their country
l always supposed that men were cour-
teous TO women because they are inc
mothers OF the race, and because OF the
perils, physical disability and sacrihce
which motherhood involves. had further
moro been told by woman who has lived
and voted in wyoming (wherc women nave
voted for forty years. that she had never
seen finer courtesy anywhere than that
shown by the rough miners TO the women
at the polls.
There we're women on board the Titanic
when she sank, but not one was picked up
by the lifeboats. while few OF the men
were able TO swim and keep afoat until
rescued
All the political privileges in the world
will not give women the same muscular
strength that men possess. but men ana
women should work together for the better
ment OF mankind and for good government
and unless woman receives the ballot sne
cannot do her share 10 safeguard the well
fare of society. l do not disbelieve in won-
an suffrage because a few women dis
grace themselves by smashing windows.
