Public Ownership Opposed
This leads the commission into a dis q.
cuSSion of public ownership of street
railways, from which this conclusion is
derived:
While eventually it might become
cxpedient for the public TO own and
operate electric railways. there is moth -
ing in the experience thus far obtained
in this country which win justify the
assertion that il will result in better
of cheaper service than privately op-
Grated utilities could afford IL properly

ownership and operation must as a gen

"If the reforms incident to public
regulation which we suggest in this re-

such reforms should at least enable pub

The commission recommends that

also that trolley extensions into new
territory where property values were
specially benefited should be paid for
by assessment OF such property "and
that the amount of such assessments

THE WEEK IN REVIEW

NEW YORK, Mdrcn -o--bTau- streets tomorrow will say:
 Distinct improvement in business is reflected in the weeks dispatches. Trade among wholesalers and Jobbers is moving in even better volume than week ago, and while the conserva- tive feeling on the part of the buyers noted in the advices for recent weeks is still present, it is perhaps less em- pfasized than hitherto. The most marked improvement, however, IS noted in retail trade which has reacted strongly to the stimulus of Easter shopping and the first really spring like weather of the season. The better ment is shown particularly in millin- cry. dry goods. notions and footwear, but in other directions also. more ac- tivity has become apparent. Manu- lecturers in general continue opera tions at full capacity. though owing to the inadequaey of transportation facilities and some shortage of labor, their output is still behind demand and deliveries are hampered.

NEW YORK. March 26.-Stocks were tossed to and fro, apparently at the whim of professional traders, dur ing the greater part of today's active session, but rose almost buoyantly in the final hour on confirmation of re- ports that the gold import movement vas under way.
 Announcement of the gold inflow, which is expected to attain formidable dimensions. was accompanied by steady advance of sterling exchange. demand bills on London rising to -$3so before the close of the market.
 The broad rally was accelerated by a decline of call money to six per cent, or three per cent under its opening rate. and offerings of time funds for short periods at slight concession from long prevailing quotations
 The session was marked by several distinct advances and reactions. due chiefly to heavy selling for profits in several of the more speculative shares. General Motors. for example. opened at 100. a gain of 16 ponts on the larger dividend fell back to 377 and closed at 391. net advance of points
 Affiliated shares, notably Stutz Mo- tors and Stromberg Carburetor. moved more consistently. Stutz closing at 324, within a point of it's new maximum and a gain of 42 points. while Strom- berg forfeited part of its six point rise.
 Other motors, also equipments, steels, oils, coppers and numerous sgecialties were carried on the crest Of the rise to levels extending from to points over the preceding days close and rails also improved. though in comparatively minor degree. Sales amounted t6 1875 .000 shares.
 Save for several unimportant ex- ceptions Liberty issues strengthened and the international group was also il regularly higher. Nominal gains were made by railway and industrial bonds, also local fractions and other utilities Total sales, par value, ag- gregated S12.2o0.000.
