WAGNER'S REVIEW
Closing Stock letter.

New York, Oct. 6.-The days mar
ket seemed to reflect in a concerted
sort of way, careful analysis by
the speculative community over the
weekend as to tariff possibilities.
Steel, particularly. was under pressure
almost from the opening, with foreign
houses selling stock, but the supply
coming to a large extent from the
west, it would seem. The announce
ment from Washington that the pres
ident is even now working on his anti
trust program to be presented at the
regular session of congress, of course,
did the market no good. Throughout
the session the buying power was
noticeably weak with the result that
most issues got into new low ground.
Money showed some little signs OF
hardening and, all in all, there seems
little upon which the bull can work,
up any legitimate enthusiasm, where
as, the future seems to present un-
certainties enough to make the bear
more aggressive in his attitude.

REPUBLICANS ARE
URGING REFORMS
Meeting Is Called for December
to Change the Rules Of
the Party.

Washington, d. c., Oct 6.-The re-
publican national committee will meet
in Washington on Tuesday. Dec. 16,
to confer on party matters and to take
away any action which may be deemed
advisable. A formal call for the meet
ing will be issued tomorrow. The meet
ing was decided on at a conference Of
Chairman Charles d. Hilles and Secre-
tary James b. Reynolds.
The decision to call the committee
results from the repeated requests Of
republican leaders that an opportunity
be given &c revise the rules of the re-
publican party.
The principal changes demanded are
in the basis of representation from
the southern states at national con-
ventions; and in the method of elect
ing delegates from states that have
primary laws covering that subject.
Senators Jones and Cummins, repre-
senting the socalled Cancellation COM
mittee selected by republican and pro-
pressives at Chicago last spring. have
been in communication with Chairman
Hille8 recently and have renewed the
request of the party factions that the
national committee take up the con-
vention question at once.
1t is expected that the national COM
mittee, when it meets in December,
will not agree TO the calling of a ma
tional convention without protest on
the part of some of its members, who
claim the committee itself has ample
authority to- make the necessary
changes In rules and regulations.
An increasing number of republica
| leaders, however, insist that whateve
changes are made should be autho
lied by a national convention the !.
| oughly representative Of the voters OF
all the states. If the national commit
tee decides to call the proposed con
vention. it is expected that it will set
date early in the spring for the gath
ering so that the party machinery may
be ready for tho campaign prollmIn.
airy to the congressional elections of
next fall. 1t is expected the conven-
! ton, IL called, would be held In Chi
cago.
