candidate for the nomination as joint
representative from Wayne and Union
counties, declaring that Wayne county
should be magnanimous to its smaller
sister county, which had not had a
native son in the legislature in a score
OF years Wayne county, the Union
delegates We're informed, was magnan-

And now, shouted Linus P Mere

wayne delegate as alternate for Harry
Holmes, we are repaid for this cour-
tesy by Union county's four delegates
casting their votes for Bridgeman, who
comes from county which does not
have enough Republican votes to flag

Meredith addressed his remarks to
Walter Bossart, district chairman, and
Bossart was kept busy for an hour ex-
planning to the indignant Wayne dele

his home eounts's action
Rossart Shifts Blame.
Bossart also declared that mas
much as the Republican candidate for
IA,
was Wayne county man that Wayne
was not actually entitled to represent
tation on any of the state convention
committees. In fact, he said. Judge
Comstock had requested that Wayne
county not be given recognition in the
making of such appointments
Bossart was promptly informed that
if Judge Comstock had made such a
request the fact had never been COM
municated to the members of the
Wayne county delegation. He was
also told that good politics" should
have prompted the Union county dele
gates to have given at least half their
votes if not all of them to Wayne
county's candidate, in the first place
because he was former Bull Mooser;;

magnificent expansion after the war
were predicted for Russia by NJ. Rod
zianko, president of the Duma, in an
interview with a British correspond
ent just published here. Russia, and
Great Britain are now great friends,
he said, and he commented in this
humorous way on their former differ
ences:
"Oh. of course, we have quarreled!
But that was natural. Even husband
and wife. Well, it is not so? But
that is long ago. The mistake was
that we did not know, till the war

that we were necessary each to the

\ cording to Reserve Board.

yesterday its regular weekly bank state
ment as at close of business on Friday
The consolidated statement indicates but
few changes in the reserve situation of

0.6 millions, the result of additional bond
purchases and increased holdings of ac-
'ceptances by the banks.
The combined gold reserves Of the banks
declined about 100000, Philadelphia
Richmond and Chicago reporting the
largest decreases, while the gold re-
serves of the New York, Atlanta and San
Francisco banks show the largest gains
for the week. The total cash reserves
OF the banks increased about $1,000 900,
New York and San Francisco report
ing large gains of cash. offset in part
by net cash Withdrawals, mainly from
the Philadelphia, Richmond and Chicago
banks.
Discounted paper on hand shows a de-
crease of abut 81 100000, the four banks
most active in the discount field report
ing smaller figures than at the end of
the preceding week. Against this de-
crease acceptances on hand show an in
crease of over $1,000, co., Boston, New
York, and Chicago, reporting increased
holdings of this class of paper. OF the
total bills on hand, acceptances con-
stitute at present about So per cent

BETHLEHEM HITS
FOR 10 points
Goes Up on Strength of Deal
with Pennsylvania Steel
Company.
MARINE STOCKS POPULAR
Banking House Circulates Report that
American Can Dissolution Decision
May Be Expected Tomorrow.

New York. Feb. 19.-Coppers were
Joined by the marines and some Of the
war stocks as leaders Of the stock mar
ket today. Bethlehem Steel responded
with a ten-point rise to the news Of its
deal with Pennsylvania Steel. Pitts
burgh Coal rose sharply. Motor stocks
were all firm.
Among the Coppers, Utah and Shelters
on the inside market and kennecott on
the curb attracted most attention. The
move in Smelters was impressive be-
cause il rose in the face of bad condi-
tons in Mexico. Copper men feel that
it Is about time SHELTERS broke loose
from the Mexican situation because 1t
has such a profitable business elsewhere
that changes in Mexico, while able to
help It materially, cannot hurt 1t much.
Marine stocks, particularly the prefer
red, appealed to Wall Street again today.
Now that there is official denial of the
British plan to fix a maximum freight
rate, the stock becomes a speculative
investment Even II the war were to
end in the near future the company has
been so well financed by the big earn
ings already made that the water has
been squeezed out OF the preferred
stock. The opinion is almost universal
in Wall Street that receivership proceed
ings will be abandoned and the company
left as though they had never been
begun.
Cetral Leather directors have let it be
understood that they favor the policy of
paying out in dividends one-half Of the
net earnings acCruing to the credit of
the common stock and as the report
just issued shows 10S2 per cent on that
stock, the street is preparing to move
the issue up to where a five per cent
stock should be. Traders believe it
should be put up to a much higher level
because the last quarter showed a net
profit Of SIS per cent, which is at the
annual rate Of PIP per cent.
A banking house that keeps in close
touch with the American Can affairs is
authority for the rumor current today
that the decision Of the United States
District Court in American Can dissolu-
ton cases will be handed down Monday.
A favorable decision Is expected.

Foreign Conditions Hurt Market.

The next real activity in the New York
list will make its appearance when big
banking interests have been satisfied
that danger of immediate international
complications has passed. As long as
the period Of security lies only between
the time of delivery OF one note and the
receipt of its reply, the interests which
are responsible for market activity and
rising prices will stay out, and the mar
ket will refuse to reflect the corporate
prosperity shown in annual reports made
public since the first Of the year
