limited Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, March 4.--Because
the sundry civil appropriation bill
contained provisions exempting labor
organizations and farmers associa-
lions from prosecution under the
Sherman law. President Taft today
vetoed that measure.
The provision against prosecution
of producers of farm products was In
serted in the house by Representative
Roddenberry, Of Georgia. That exempt
ing labor unions, was offered by Rep
resentative Hamlin of Missouri.
The sundry civil bill carried an ap-
preparation of about $115,000,000
Immediately upon receipt of the
message, the house began a roll call
in an attempt to pass the bin over
tho veto.
In his message President Taft said
that the limitation might prevent the
department of justice from prosecut-
ing cattle thieves, illegal land fencers
and produce dealers who combine to
raise prices on farm products. He de
clared that the provisions were I'M
constitutional.

ing Post.
NEW YORK, March 4-Most of the
great markets were more or less UNI
settled today. although The reaction
here was much less pronounced than
was that at Berlin and London. The
German bourse was notably weak, ow-
ing to the tension in the money mar
ket which caused the banks to cur
tail loans to mercantile customers.
The English market was also depress-
ed by liquidation from Berlin. The
selling here was at no time heavy.
and while the market showed rather
decided weakness in the afternoon.
the reaction was natural, III view OF
the extent of yesterdays advance 1t
was significant that on the declines.
which We're in most cases only frac-
tional the market became noticeably
dull. There was nothing to indicate
that the inaugural address had had
much effect upon the market The
fact was that Wall street did not have
time to digest the address or to do
anything more than take account OF
its chief recommendation The whole
market before the close became rath-
er weak, on reports that the situation
in Germany had become troublesome
and that the demand fer money at
Berlin might force other markets to
| give up gold to that quarter before
the month was out Closing prices for
most stocks here We're near the low
/ est of the day, but there was nd
pressure in the final trading.
I A slightly easier tone to the money
market here was reflected in further
advance of foreign exchange rates to
a level which gave rise to some dis
cussion as to a possible resumption OF
the gold export movement to Paris.
No Paris facilities we're offered today
1 but it was evident that the recent
rise in foreign exchange rates had
made the resumption Of Paris gold
movement much less difficult than 1t
was a week ago.
The situation in this respect was
made the more interesting by the re-
i cent developments in Germany and the
effort of Berlin banks to secure large
advances of money here. 1t was evil
dent, however, that the German bid,
: ders would have TO raise their bids
considerably above the five per cent
level that was offered recently for
special deposits from New York
banks.
