REVIEW OF The
STOCK MARKET
Market Irregular at Close
Steel Spring Passes
a Dividend.

Early professional selling yesterday
brought out little stock, and the trading
slackened until around noon the mar
ket was almost at standstil. Passing
OF the dividend Of Railway Steel Spring
common. al best an uncertain dividend
payer, was made the occasion Of re-
newed pressure in the early afternoon
Profit taking i'm the last hour, however
made up a great part Of the losses. and
in some instances produced gains on the
day. Transactions in bonds. while in
larger volume than on Wednesday
were in a narrower list. with slightly
easier prices.
The failure of the directors Of the
Railway Steel Spring Company TO take
action on the common dividend en-
phasized the effect Of the present poor
condition Of the railroads on allied in
dustries. Railroad ordering is expected
to continue on a to-mouth basis
until a decision Is reached on the pro
posed freight rate increase. Steel Spring
directors announced that with lessened
demand a small volume Of business and
poor outlook for future orders, not even
their large cash balance, would justify
continued interest payment. The stock
declined TO % on the news, loss Of
DO points. closing at %. Last year the
common paid a dividend, per cent.
for the first time since 1905.
Some effort was made 10 depress

and operations continuing on a small

ended the day unchanged. Copper de
clined a fraction. International Har-
vester lost more than its gain Of the
day before. Corn Products preferred
advanced 6i2 points above the low fig
ure of Wednesday. closing at 65le,
nearly 3 points up. and the common
made net gain Of over point.
Railroad reports making unfavorable
comparisons with those of last year
produced little market effect. Lehigh
Valley and Southern Pacific both pre-
scented disCouraging decreases in gross
and net for February. The Norfolk &
Western 100000 600 equipment trust
4ios were four times oversubscribed.
The Bank of England's return showed
its loss of strength continued. with
gold holdings reduced over 100000. the
result of failure again to get any of the
new Cape gold Of the week. The per
centage Of reserve, 4316. against 1892
the week before and 1900 on March
II. while above that of the correspond
ing week cf last year. was low for the
season. The bank rate, however, was
held unchanged al 9 per cent. and open
market discounts were easy. The Bank
Of France again improved its position,
adding over $500, 600 francs TO its gold.
reducing its circulation 60O0O.0Oo. and,
with 1OO00OOo0 more deposits, extend
ing its advances and discounts only
little over 100000.
Money rates here showed little
change. Time accommodation is slight
w easier. and call loans were renewed
at ia per cent. Since Friday the banks
on Sub-Treasury operations have lost
S4,917.OOO Demand sterling continued
to weaken.

AUTOMOBILES SAVED
PARIS FROM GERMANS
FOUR HUNDRED MACHINE S
MOVED 10000 FRENCH SOL
DIERs TO FRONT AT A VERY
CRITICAL PERIOD.

PARIS, Dec. 27.-It is not generally
known that the Battle of the Marine
was won by automobiles. General
Gallieni had 400 taxicabs and other
| light motor cars at his disposal 1t
will be remembered that Won Kluck,
with the right of the German army,
got as far as Champiley. General Gal
lieni, as military governor of Paris,
had large force at his disposal and
he was responsible for the defense of
Paris.
Gallieni figured that he had more
men than he really needed and that
10000 of them could be spared for
work at the front.
Acting entirely upon his own re-
sponsibility he ordered his men to
crowd into the automobiles. He made
each taxicab carry nine soldiers. 1t
was a curious sight. There were two
in each seat, two on the hood, one
ming board
Within six hours he threw the
whole 10000 against the flank of the
Germans at Meaux. about 35 miles
from Paris. Won kluck evidently had
not reckoned with such sortie He
was forced to stop and give battle.
The French, retiring on his front. re-.
formed and gave battle. The result
was the retreat of the Germans from /
Marine to the Aisne after the san. !
culinary battle named from the first
river.
No other nation in this war has .
used the motor car with the effeC,. |
iveness of the French. Working with
amazing rapidity just after the begin.
ming oil the war, the French army oIi.-
GERS drafted men who had been EN-.
played in automobile manufacture
foremen, skilled workmen, testers
and drivers. The officers were drawn /
from the manufacturers, agents and
