IrrcsuIarity Is Pronounced.

Summarizing the action yesterday of
the New York list, w. B. Hibbs & Co,
local brokers. made public the following
telegram from their New York cor
respondents after close yesterday:
while an improved tone prevailed in
the rail department, irregulaTity was
pronounced in other directions. The dip
lomatic situation was unchanged. 1t is
anticipated that an official statement is
likely to be issued after a conference
scheduled to take place this afternoon
Copper shares failed almost entirely
to respond to daily reports of large sale
of metal and further advances in
the price OF the latter The cur
rent large earnings do not excite new
buying for reasons that the Street have
not been able to clearly define. Per-
haps 1t is due to the fear that a tempo
rary lull in the demand for the metal
would doubtless be quickly followed by
large offerings from second-hands and
a consequent decline in the quoted price
Of the same
1.-THE munition shares have lost much
OF their attractiveness as far as outside
participation is concerned, primarily for
the reason that expressions of views by
persons in high kuarters acccntuate the
fact that rather the most has been
made from a stock market viewpoint in
a goodly portion of the Industrial depart
ment Of the amazing corporation earn
ings.
'Then, too, European advices seem to
incline to the view that hostilities, at the
utmost, are not likely to extend much
over another year.
The current political and diplomatic
controversies still initiate against
broad rise. OF course, short covering
might force temporary rally. but un-
til either Berlin recedes or the Villa mat.

! Street for Some Time.
OTHER FINANCIAL NEWS
High Class, 5 Per Cent Bonds Hold

mental Trust Continues Advance.

While the announcement that President
Wilson will address Congress today was
not made until after close of the gen.
eral market yesterday. the belief is that
much of the reaction reasonably to be
expected from the apparent seriousness
of the controversy with Berlin already
has been discounted,
Wall street has been unusually well
advised as to the progress of the negotia-
tions and the tensity of relations, and
the market has dropped to a position
where it is believed the shock of any
revelations the President may make will
be comfortably absorbed. Doubtless the
address of the President will have its
effect: II less belligerent in tone than
the bears expect, reaction from the
early depression may result in the last
hour; If more belliserent, the opposite
will be true.

New York. April 1s-Stock market fea-
lures today were a continuation of the
rather peculiar trading on Monday. The
total dealings were maintained on a scale
OF only moderate activity with a curious
mixture OF rather aggressive buying in
certain directions, and some tnststent
selling pressure IN others. There was

anything of the muddle into which the

when the enomous surplus now held in the United

EARTH Is WEARING AWAY
Planet May Continue Million Years,
But There Is Some Doubt
About 1t.

This earth is not going to last for
ever. 1t may continue for a million
years, but there is some doubt about
that. 1t is wearing away. Every CEN
fury it is weaker than it was century
before. 1t is natural that it should be
so. The winds and storms and earth
Quakes and foods are conspired to
break up its crust and reduce it's vital
force. A leveling process is going on
constantly and in the far future all
that will be left of US will be hard
ball, like Mercury has become. The
life conditions will constantly become
Trailer, until human life will be forced
off the planet.
1t doesn't interest us, of course, eX-
cept as a speculative question, sug-
costing the fate of animal life and the
destiny of humanity, But the scientists
see the crust of the earth gradually
giving way and making the planet less
and less the abode of human life. Re-
Gently in Alaska there was an uplift
of the earth's crust fully forty feet,
which indicated a sinking elsewhere,
probably in the ocean, of an equal
amount of the earth's crust. Similar
conditions are reported elsewhere, not
so marked, possibly, but numerous
enough to show the tendency of terres-
trial change. In a few centuries,
when we return to the earth for a
visit, which we all expect to, we will
not be able to pick out spot that is
now crowded with so many fond men,
cries. But, nevertheless, get the fond
memories ready anyhow.

FEW SECRETS IN DIPLOMACY
Diplomats Cannot Now Safely "Lie
Abroad for Benefit of Ones
Country at Home"

1.-THE golden rule and the Monroe
greatest of American diplomats, said,
"our guides in American diplomatic
life" Truthfulness and discreet frank
ness are, in his opinion, its distinguish
ing qualities. 1--WE have generally told
squarely what We wanted, announced
early in the negotiations what we were
willing to give and allowed the other
side to accept or reject our terms"
The secrets of UpIomacy still exist,
to be sure; many things are safely
hidden in the archives, and still more
in the memories of ambassadors and
ministers. But diplomats cannot now
safely "lie abroad for the benefit of
ones country at home" They may be
reticent or they may use language that
wells their real purpose, but in no
career is a lie more looked on as dis
graceful and useless than in this
career to which Talleyrand and Mat
ternich gave bad reputation.
The study of little things was the
principal business of some of the older
diplomats. There is story that Tai
leyrand always sat with his back
against the light and with snuffbox
in his hand. Sitting in that position,
he could watch the play of his oppo-
nents features, and by offering his
snuffbox could gain time before an
swering a difficult Observation-Disclosures
