The United States paid s15,000,-
600 for the territory of Louisiana:
the Gadsden purchase involved an ex-
penditure of s10,000,000; the first
cession of Mexican lands cost about
S1S,000,000: Alaska cost $1,000, 900,
and the Philippines s2O,OO0,000. The
total area of the Danish West Indies
would appear like an ink spot on
map of any of the other, but the pur-
chase price, s25,O0O,OOO, is highest of
all. Perhaps this only indicates that
the other parcels were obtained at
prices far below their real value. 1t
serves also to emphasize the fact, well
established in economics, that real es-
tate has no other market value than
that which somebody is willing and
able to pay for it.

STEEL BOARD REDUCED
Directorate Cut From 18 to Is Mem
bers

NEW YORK. April 17-Edmund C.
Converse. Alfred Clifford and Thomas
Murray resigned as directors of the United
States steel Corporation at the annual
meeting today in furtherance of the policy
of cutting the directorate from Is to Is
members. The following directors of the
1919 class were nominated James A.
Farrell, Il. II. Gary, j. p. Morgan George
w. Perkins and George f. Baker.
Judge Gary told the directors that the
Steel Corporation and It's subsidiaries now
employ about 250,000 men, of whom 5O,-
900 are stockholders. At his request b
r, Snth an employe told the stockhold-
ers something about working conditions
Smith declared that the steel corpora
tion did not cut wages last year until two
months after other corporations. and that
the wages of common laborers were not
touched.
Replying to Smith, Judge Gary said
that during the period of business de-
preston the directors favored passing the
dividend rather than reducing wages of
common laborers He said he considered
IT an honor to be connected with a cor
poration whose employees were willing to
stand before the stockholders and express
appreciation for their treatment.

LITTLE SELLING
ON CURB MARKET
Brokers Think Market Waits on
Definite Action on U-Boat
Question

NEW YORK, April 17.-The Broad
Street Curb was Influenced by the same
mood and factors that determined price
movements on the Stock Exchange. The
stories of Villas death found enough be.
llevers in the early trading to induce some
buying and cause advances ut the start,
but within n few minutes the demand
diminished and buying orders, even at
concessions. became extremely scarce.
Reports Of renewed submarine activities.
both In the Mediterranean and on the
English coast, and dispatches stating that
foreigners had been advised to leave Mex
leo. were quickly followed by liquidation
in many of the most active stocks ike
Cuba Cane Sugar. Mdvale Steel, Kathod-
ion Bronze preferred and the motor stocks.
outside of these issues little uneasiness
was in evidence, and prices of the oils
and copper stocks held fairly well, con-
sldering the restricted dealings.
Those who have most to do with move.
ments in many of the various groups OF
securities express the view that the mar
ket Is still waiting for definite action In

tlons. 1t was insisted that while break

the same time buying power cannot be
expected to increase until buyers Know

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, April lin the first
hour of business today in the Foreign
Exchange market the price feature was
a recurrence of decided strength III
French exchange. Quotations advanced
10 the highest figures of the rally last
week, 5.9sh for cables and 5.99 for
checks. Sterling ruled at the highest
recent figures at 4,76b for demand and
AIT 1-16 for cables.
RalchmarlSs held firm at 1885 and 73 "a.
Other quotations were: Lire cables.
6.49b; checks, $50; Swiss cables, 5,l6 !;
checks, 5.16h. Vienna, 1886 and 1910 ;
Stockholm 29.4O and 1880 Pesetas.
1910 and 1919; guilders, 425s and 42&
roubles, 301S and $685..
The above-quoted figures for French
exchange are nominal, as that class of
exchange was very scarce early today,
and II is difficult TO obtain quotations eX-
cent on actual business. The tendency is
toward a higher level, in the opinion OF
foreign exchange experts.
Around midday was further sharp ad-
vance in French exchange to $50 for
cables and 5.9515 for checks This is an
extreme recovery of II points from the
extreme low level reached the middle OF
last week and reflects the expectation of
the impending arrangement of large new
credit in this country for the French Gov
arnment Sterling Exchange also held
hrmly at 4,75h for demand and AT lis
for cables.

Business, Buys From Liverpool

NEW YORK, April 17,--Free liqulda-
tion of May was the feature at the open
Ing on the Cotton Exchange this morning.
A spot interest took up nearly all the of.
ferings and held the market in check.
The tone was steady with prices 1 point

Liverpool sold about 5000 bales of Janu-
airy on the call, more than half OF which
was taken by a commission house, which
at times does large business for German
account. Southern interests were good
The market was quiet during the middle
of the morning and fluctuations rather
narrow and irregular, After selling up to
12O2c. for instance, July eased off to
1l.97c. under moderate selling order, and
other months also sagged back TO a shade
under Saturdays closing figures. There
was no change In the general character of

o'clock on further covering or a little
scattered buying from commission house
