Stock Market

New York. May 2.---Specuiation
reached g. state OF deadlock to-day.
Extensive covering having been forced
by tho sharp rise OF stocks yesterday,
the demand from this source was
diminished. Although some small
gains were registered in the early
trading, no aggressive efforts were
made on the long side. and the marke,
resumed Its familiar aspects. with mar
row and irregular movements and n
saggtng tendency. The active stocks
In most cases fell slightly below yes
J ferdaY's close! although in few of
tie important issues was the range
Tor the entire day more than u point.
European markets were strong on
the Improvement in the political out
look. The effect of this Improvement
was recorded in the rise here, trading
In about 5000 shares, which We're
eScniS divided between purchases ana
sales, There was some buying by Fer
lin and Paris on direct orders
The heavy tone toward tho close
was Influenced by the development of
new weak spots among the inactive
shares, conspicuous among which were
Pullman. and Virginia Carolina Chem
ical. Both OF these stocks reached
new low prices for the year.
substantial gain in cash by tho
banks on the weeks operations was
indicated by known. movements or
currency Estimates OF the weeks
gain varied from s4.50O,ooo to $500
600 not allowing for over the count
az" payments ON May 1. which may
effect tie result materially. Money
rates held steady on the lower basis
which has prevailed recently Bankers
were OF the opinion that II the more
favorable indications for the passing
of the Balkan crisis were borne out.
relaxation of the European money
markets, which was marked temporar-
lily by the reduction in the Bank OF
England discount rate to Ia Der

sumed
Some additional low records we're
made by per cent bonds. but the
general movement was uncertain.
Liquidation was checked in some
bonds. which have been especially

We need every q liar of the in come tax to be raised by the tar fl bill, and every dollar thus placed in the territorial treasury Is dol. lar less for the United States to appropriate from it's treasury.
 We need to be treated. in the tariff bill. just as you are treating Porto Rico and the Philippines. In sub-div sion N., page 207. the bill provides that all revenues collected in Porto Rico and the Philippine Is lands hereunder shall aecrue intact to the general government thereof, respectively.

Won't you please offer and support such an amendment in aid of the de velopment of territory which needs your help?
