GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


Steel common was weak from start to
finish without q suggestion OF rallyinS
power. Its action Ia perhaps best de-
scribed by the English expression Hat
which Is translated as actively weak The
opening was wide. the first transactions
being done at prices from u to y OF a
point below Thursdays close. The stock
rarely sklps big fraction like that ex-
cept In times of excited markets The
occurrence Is all the more extraordinary
because the stock was not moving in old
ground. but was taking new course
Dealings were heavy. the 10000 shares rep
resenting q larger turnover, comparatively
speaking. than on Thursday. To quote
an observer on the floor stock was simply
poured out The precise influence ex-
erted by the tonnage statement was mol
quite clear. Yesterdays decline was OF
course a continuation of a movement OIL
ready under way. SO perhaps there was
no need to refer to the tonnage figures
except as the removal OF factor which
might have been a factor. The possible
ity Of favorable surprise as In the
February figures may have caused tenn
porary curtailment Of selling. III this Is
what did happen renewed pressure from
sources on an even more
aggressive scale would be natural. But
the weakness OF the stock was all the
more marked because II has really mad
a very big fall. A perpendicular de-
cline Of ~. points in three days Is some-
thing out OF the ordinary.

PARIS, Oct. 26, French trade ag
gregating 1,SO0,0O0,O00 francs or $780,
100000 a year is thrown into the mar
ket as a result of the war. Such was
the total value of goods purchased by
France last year from Germany and
Austria, the balance of trade being in
favor of Germany to the amount of
2O5, 900, 900 francs and in favor of Aus
tria to the amount of 54,0O0,000 francs.
Local committees are being organ
lied with a view to placing this BUSH
ness to the best advantage. The Com
mittee of Industrial and Commercial
Defence is taking up the interests of
small manufacturers. who have not
been in touch with the foreign consum-
er in a way to enable them to make
new connections directly. Proposals
are being made to English business
organizations with a view to an ex-
change of visits in the two countries
of Representatives of commercial and
industrial concerns. The Importance
of this work to the United States may
be understood from the fact that Of the
purchases from Germany last year
there were 177,0OO,OO0 francs in ma
chinery, while France purchased from
the United States only 57000,000
francs in this line. Germany supplied
1903 900 900 francs in cereals while the
United States supplied 95,O0O,000.
Another committee is being formed
to consider the question Of hotels
which are, to great extent, in the
hands Of Germans, while those con-

French Boycott All
Goods From Vaterland

proposition is To establish a number OF
hotel schools, such as the one already
in operation at Thonon, where every
branch of the hotel business is taught
practically. French hotel keepers in
Paris have organized schools of Ian
uages FOR their younger employees In
order to fit them to take the place OF
Germans, as the question of language
has always been weak point with
French employees.
Everywhere is seen evidence of tho
intention to follow strictly the iniunc-
tons of the official decree in the boy
cotting of German and Austrian pro-
ducts. In the stationery stores Aus
trian pencils have disappeared from
view and it is impossible to find any
of the usual German articles in the
delicatessen shops.
Monsieur Lelievre, President of the
Industrial Defence Committee, states
that the principal difficulty the Com
mittee encounters is in the case OF
houses which are practically known to
be thoroughly German but continue
business under names adopted for the
contingency. There are no statistics
giving the number of Germans occupi-
ed in commerce and manufacturing in
France, but the proportion is very inn
portant and the Defence COMMITTEES
proposes to ask for radical measures
of protection against their continue
ton under false colors.
