SHOWN IN BONDS

NEW YORK. June 10.-Confficting
influences were at work in the bond
market today. On the one hand. there
was the easing of money rates. which
normally would have counted more
than anything else. On the other
hand, however, there was a persistent
weakness in stocks. causing good
deal of unloading Of bonds by people
caught in the decline. and there was
the depressing influence of the con-
tinued heavy outpour of new. securities
Even before the new government
and New York state financing, the
market was in a more or less con-
gested state owing to the too rapid
bringing out of syndicate offerings.
But this congestion has been ma
terially increased by the $500, 100000
United States note offering. and by
the SAL 100000 New York bond issue.
The net result of these factors in
the trading of the day was an irregu
lar price movement with a saggIng
exception was the liberty 3l2 per
Cents. which al one time We're up over
point on the day and more than 3
points from their recent low. The
as abrupt as the decline indicates
that the latter was caused by special
liquidation, which, having ceased, was
followed by prompt rally.
Mexican 6s Decline.
Other liberty issues were unchanged
or nearly SO, and so were most for
eign government bonds. United King
dom SIS OF 1887 were heavy at their

STOCKS STEAD|ER,
FEW SOFT SPOTS
Money Easier, With Less
Selling Pressure Exerted.
Action in SpeciaIties.
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK. June 10.--In today's
market situation the test was wheth-
er unfavorable trade conditions and
dividend action or the improvement
in the money position would exercise
the larger influence. The rate on call
loan renewals was reduced to per
cent-the third successive reduction
within the course of the week. This
was a direct response to the remark
able showing in the weekly bank
statements. especially in that OF the
New York Federal Reserve Bank. The
rise in the reserve ratio from 60.3 to
64.2 was chiefly due to the transfers
of German reparation money. But In
part also it was the result OF fur-
Their curtailment both in Wall street
and commercial loans, and the unu-
sual inrease Of the week put the bank
in the strongest position It mas oc-
cupied in more than a year.
There was very little doubt. In view
of this showing. that the New York
institution would soon announce an
other cut in its discount rates. ana
that this action would be initiated
by the federal reserve system gen
orally. The money market was plain.
ly preparing for an announcement OF
this sort, not only by the drop in
call loan rates. but in the lowering
of quotations on commercial paper.
The latter decline was particularly
significant because it was precisely
the same sort of thing that occurred
just previous to the last reductlon
in the reserve rate.
Steadfer, But Not Strong.
In the stock market it was evident
that the strong bank showing ana the
accompanying relaxation in money
and discount rates was nishing an
element of support. In certain direc-
tions there was better and more
effective buying than there had been
on previous days.
Even fresh weak spots were brought
out to check recovery, and caused
considerable unsettlement at times

which accounted for the weakness in
some of the Industrial preferred
stocks, and which explained the heavi-
ness in the general bond list.
Trading in Coppers.
Further selling came in Utah Cop
per representing the response of out
side holders to the dividend cut. which
had not had time to be widely known
before the close of business last
night. When this selling was over.
the stock was inclined to rally and
Anaconda and other members of the
group develop a better tone.
The statement by the chairman of
the finance committee of the Utah
Company that there has been sub
stantial improvement in the metal
market since the closing of the
properties April T. came in for a
good deal of comment and had a
bearing upon the market for the
copper shares in general.

ships and several other men to aid
in the building in the United States

BRITISH MINER STRIKE
SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT
Million and Half Additional Union
Men in Agreement to
Join Movement

LONDON, April 1.-THE federal
of general workers, representing
100000 persons in more than 100
industries outside the triple alliance
decided today to support the triple
alliance strike in the interest Of the
miners.
The general walk-out is scheduled
to start tonight and both sides are
holding their lines firm in antici-
patton Of the struggle.
A manifesto issued by the miners
federation last night seems to render
any possibility of renewed negotia-
tions hopeless, apart from yielding
on the side of the government The
government yesterday met the min
ers half way by agreeing TO give fin
ancial assistance as should be neces-
sary to start the reduction Of wag-
es on a national basis. The miners,
however, insisted on acceptance also
Of the pooling Of profits which the
government throughout has declared
to be impossible.
This irreconcilable attitude Is de-
priving the miners Of any support Of
theh press, and apparently Is tend
ing to ALLEVIATE the sympathy of O
large section Of the public.
The government proposal was that
wages should be fixed on national
basis and. that committees in each
district, composed equally OF owners
and miners, should consider from the
state.
While the miners are thus losing
the support Of the general public,
organized labor il steadily consoli-
dating on the side Of the miners.
The AmaIgamated Society Of Loco
motive Men and Firemen has decided
to strike with the triple alliance The
executive Of the railway clerks as
sociation also recommended joining
the strike. The electrical workers OK
London threaten to strike.
There is still some question as To
whether a strike Of all the members
OF the triple alliance il possible to-
night, The railway men may be call
ed upon to strike without a ballot,
but the transport workers are re-
quired to take ballot before strike

NEW FRAME HOUSES
VIRTUALLY FIREPROOF

CHICAGO, April 14-A new type
of wood frame house, much less
subject to damage by fire than those
in general use, is being developed
and tested at the Underwriters La
boratories here.
The laboratories announce that ii
appears practicable, even with the
ordinary wood joists and studs com
monty used for floors, walls and
partitions, to reduce fire losses and
consequent danger to life in houses
of this class. Only few of the dang
er points need be given special at
tention.
The new system developed is by a
covering. of metal lath and plaster
held in place by wires surrounding
the beams which continue to act ev-
en- after the wood beams have start
ed to char.
Wharton Clay, Engineer and mem
ber of both the National Federation
of Constructive Industries and The
National Congress of the Building
& Construction Industries says
"from the results of this test, it is
practically assured that houses can
be constructed with practically no
extra expense which will stand in
tensive fire for one hour and keep
the family and property safe from
destruction"
"The new method frame so pro-
tected by metal lath and paster that
the lives Of the occupants or the
building would be safe against the
effects of fire. Thirty minutes is the
least time that should be allowed
for complete safety but a protection
of one hour is being sought after by
fire proofing engineers

LEAGUE WANTS
DRY-COPS in
CIVIL SERVICE

/ BALTIMORE April 1.-THE acti-
vities Of the National Civic Service
Reform league in combating the ap-
pointment of loose and inefficient"
prohibition enforcement agents were
reviewed in the report of the coun-
Gil of the league at the annual meet
ing here today. The report urges
support of a bill before Congress
requiring that ali dry agents be
placed under civil service regula-
tions and be subjected to the Gust
omary examinations.
1t also takes sharp issue with the
provision in the measure insisted up
on by the anti-saloon league, which
would permit the appointment of
persons without previous experience
in criminal Investigations.
The report alleges that the anti
saloon organization prefers to let
the agent posts continue political
spoils rather than agree to normal
method Of providing for their com
petitive classification under the civil
service law
The leagues long opposition to the
system Of appointing postmasters to
office, permanently or until re
moved on charges, purely political
appointees," is set forth in the re-
port. which proposes open competi-
tive examinations of such incumb-
ents in order 70 continue in office.
The report aserts that these views
have been concurred in by the pres
ident and attorney general Com
mentinE on the federal civil service
provision giving absolute preference
to soldiers, sailors, widows and ex-
service men, the report asserts.
"As time goes on the manifest un-
fairness Of veteran preference is be-
coming more apparent to the mem
bers Of congress. The effects in in
efficiency of service should be care
fully noted by the league and the
evidence secured be placed before
Congress with the request that this
vicious legislation be repealed"
