The uneasiness which was displayed in
the market yesterday seemed to have
been dissipated overnight, with the result
that there was a reaction toward higher
level Of prices during the morning. Ac-
ton of the governors Of the stock ex-
change permitting the indefinite postpone
ment Of deliveries OF securities tieo up
by the Equitable fire enabled the traders
to proceed with more confidence. althougn
the fact that vast quantities OF STOCKS ana
bonds were unavailable tended to restrict
business.
Bear operators covered extensively at
the opening, and their operations were

were distributed again: and II crept up

Operations In other stocks were on a
much reduced scale, and fluctuations
were unimportant.
Occasional spurts of activity sent prices
to a higher level. United States Steel
was absorbed freely at times, and Its
gain of a point resulted In a better in

COMMERCE BOARD ORDERS
EXPRESS RATE REDUCTIOTS
Also Calls for Drastic Reforms
in Regulations and
Practices

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Sweep-
ing reductions in express rates aver
aging, in general. approximately Is
! per cent; drastic reforms in regula-
tions and practices, and comprehen-
sive changes in the methods of oper-
alton. are prescribed in a report made
public yesterday by the interstate
commerce commission OF it's investi-
CATION into the business Of the l3
great express companies OF the
United States.
Dealing with the identity of in.
tcrest between the various companies.
the report finds that while these com
panies are separate legal entities. 1T
is OF interest to regard this fact that
(. BY stock ownership and otherwise
they are so interlaced, intertwNed,
and interlocked that IL is with diff
4 ficulty We can trace any one of the
greater companies as either wholly
independent in its management or
the agency OF a single railroad sys-
tenn. So that while these companies
operate separately and compete With
each other for traffic, the express
business may be said 10 be almost
family affair. An interesting gen
Biological tree in fact. might be drawn
ishowing a common ancestry In all or
< the larger companies And while
many names may be used TO aesig-
nate these companies. il is within the
fact to say that aside from the oper-
atone of the minor and distinctiyely
Z railroad express companies, the ex-
press business OF the United States
is managed by not more than thIee
groups OF interests"
The inquiry was the most extern
sive, and in wealth of infinite detail,
probably the most thorough, ever
prosecuted by the commission. IL
was conducted and the report was
prepared by Commissioner Franklin
X Lane. II has been in progress for
nearly three years. The report itself
makes COO printed pages II involved
an examination and comparison OF
practically more than GOO 100000 eX-
press rates in effect in this country,
in addition to an examination OF mil
lions of waybills and an investiga-
ton, through the books Of the COM
panies, OF their financial operations
and business methods.
Commissioner Lane is OF the opin-
ion that the conclusions reached con-
stitute a long step towards the solu-
tion of that gravest problem OF the
American householder, the high cost
OF living.

The assessments OF $1,000, 900

on the tax rolls by the assessors al
a time when there was serious doubt
about their legality. Circuit Judge
Hally rendered his decision against
the assessments before the assessors

Every year there is a deficit OF
about $4,000 which means that about

year Liquor money usually goes into
