MARKET NEWS By R. Allyn Lewis

There is no doubt that taxation ru- mOrs are being greatly exaggerated
 An outside element seems to have bought rather freely in anticipation of a drive at the shorts on a war declar- ation. This has been getting out on the tax runors.
 Banking interests continue to sug- gest the wisdom of giving but little attention to unofficial developments from rumOr- -mongers.
 There is an increasing belief that not only is the strength in Anglo French bonds reflecting the assurance of vic tory provided by the United States entry into the war, but also the defin- ite tendency toward an early peace when Germany realizes the absolute hopelessness of it's fight
 Specialist advices show a quiet de- mand during all recessions for first grade rails.
 Financial interests of high standing are reported to be buyers of Great Northern pfd., Union Pacific. St Paul. Atchison. New York Central South ern Pacific and Norfolk are particularly well taken, according to gossip in these quarters.

far from being inappropriate at the present time: Intelligence, patriot ism, Christianity and firm reliance on Him who has never yet forsaken this favored land, are still competent to adjust in the best way all our present difficulty"
 The administration that has just been placed in office owes its power to party triumph, but it is none the less the administration of the United States and of every citizen. And just as in the times of Madison and Lin- coin, who also were chosen as the rep resentatives of parties, the honor and integrity of the nation required that the whole people support the admin istration. so now the honor and in tegrity of the nation require that the whole people support the present ad- ministration. Let those who think that they can range themselves in op- position to measures of defense and of vindication of national rights without leaving a stain upon their names re- member the odium that still clings to the supporters of the Hartford con vention and to the Copper heads of our Civil War.
 But suppose the president makes mlStakeS-rnuSl we SldHu ny ililn lHeli : Yes, although we need not defend the mistakes. Of course he will make them No man is infallible. We can only hope that they will be few and harmless; and when he makes them, let our criticism be friendly. He must be our leader. He can be neither deposed nor recalled. For better, for worse. our fortunes for peace or for war are committed to the keeping of the administration.
 No man need surrender his opinion, but if he translates his opinions into acts hostile to the safety and honor Of the country or into attempts to de- feat the measures devised to that end by the chosen delegates of the people, he invites and deserves the eXcration of posterity.-Youth's Companion.

"On the issue of the war;" said Madison, are staked our national so- vereignty on the seas, and the security of an important class of citizens whose occupations give the proper value to those of every other class. Not to con- tend for such a stake is to surrender our equality with other powers on the element common to all, and to violate the sacred title that every member of society has to its protection AL though the present situation is not quite like that which confronted Madi- son, Madison's language is tremendous ly suggestive.
 Lincoln devoted his inaugural ad- dress to a calm discussion of the futil- ity of secession, addressed to those in the south who still love the union. But this sentence from the address is

FINANCES AND |. MARKETS

NEW YORK, April 9.-(Wall Street. The many disturbing factors of the past week were augmented today by additional unfavorable crop reports, cratic and spectacular movements ln the commodities markets and an nouncement of Austria's rupture with this government. Early quotations were mainly higher, but these gains were largely in the nature of short coverings, the market losing all it's advantage in the general liquidation Of the last hour.
 Banking interests expressed disap- pointment at the absence of definite advices from Washington regarding prospective government bond issues and the question of taxation.
 Exchange markets were strong and active.
 During the forenoon United States Steel and various other industrials Of the same class, as well as munitions and equipments, mace gains of to 1 points. Shippings and metals were less responsive but srrong. Rails were heavy. Total sales 6S5.000 shares.
 The heaviness of stocks extended to the bond list, numerous domestic is sues receding from F point to a full point but the international group was strong. Total sales, par value, S6, ,450,- 000
 In government bonds the only fea- ture was a two point advance in the coupon tours on call.
 CHICAGO, April S.-After smashing anew today the high price record, wheat values had a severe break due largely to realizing by holders who be- lieved that the government report showed the winter crop at the worst stage and that some improvement had taken place. Heavy calling of margins tended further to increase bearish sentiments as did talk of government measures to stop speculation in food stuffs. Fluctuations which covered an extremely wide range, as much as ten cents in some cases, were followed by an unsettled close at net losses of 3 to 5Ac, with May at S2.G6 F to $207 and July at $l.S4% to $1.S5. Corn finished 3$s to 4%c down and oats off 1Ac to 22s @2hc, but provisions up F to 32c.
 At first crop reports, especially from Kansas, were of continued pessimistic character. About the middle of the session, sellers began to be in a de- cided majority, and from that time on the market was on the down grade, with only brief transient rallies.
 Aside from somewhat more hopeful winter crop reports, there was late gossip of a possible huge increase 'of spring wheat seeding. The posting of domestic visible supply figures show ing a big falling off in the total avail able stock had only a temporary effect.
 Corn, like wheat, reached new top quotations and then receded sharply. Oats merely duplicated Tn a restricted way the action of other cereals. Fresh tOn notch afiO0c nm bnoe were reflected by provisions. Demand was broad and general. Close
