LONDON In FEAR
OF NEW TAXATION
Gilt-Edged Issues Sag-Copper
and Oil Shares Firm-Better
Tone in Americans.

London. April 4.-The budget pro-
posals were not known prior to the
closing Of the stock Exchange to-day,
and gilt-edged securities sagged, ow-
ing 10 fears Of fresh taxation. The
tone of the market. however, was
cheered by the resumption OF the
Treasury advertising eXchequer bonds,
which strengthens the belief that
new loan was not imminent. Maroon
stocks continued strong and copper
and oil shares were firm, but rubber
issues closed weaker. Consuls closed
unchanged at 57as; the new war loan
unchanged at 1914.
American securities were shade
more active on slightly frmer basis.
The Bank Of England sold $4,000 IN
bar gold and exported $4,000 IN SOW
ereigns 10 the United States.
Money conditions were easier and
discount rates were quiet. Money
loaned al to Az per cent. Discount
rates for short and three months bills
were 49, ~ per cent.
Gold premium at Lisbon was oo.OO'

Secretary Scott, of the Commercial
Club. Saturday received a letter from

Columbia river highway between the
Multnomah county line and Cascade

Cured in clearing away slides result
ing from last winters snowstorms.
Before the paving could be laid it was
necessary to almost degrade the mile
stretch. Records of the Hood River
county court show that 5000 were ex-
pended in clearing away slides.
Mr.. Benson in his communication de-
clares that the paving is we'll laid and
will not wear out. He urges Hood
River county authorities, however, to
take some immediate action for the
drainage Of the Highway this winter.
Unless drains and culverts are kept
open, he says, much damage will be
caused by winter storms.
