STEEL STOCKS
TAKE DROP AS
MARKET OPENS
BIZ STUART r. WEST.

New York, May 15.-Pr1ces start
ed on the stock exchange today
about where they had left of Sat
urday. The old time precedent of
big Monday opening" on a ris-
ing market was not followed. In
stead, heavy realizing sales, mostly
from speculative quarters, bring
ing with particular force against
the favorites OF last weeks steel
trading and steel merger stories.
These stocks within the first quar-
ter Of an hour or so fell from 2 to 8
points and thei rdecline for a while
unsettled the entire fist. But as
has been the practice all along,
when weakness developed in any
one direction it was promptly off,
set by fresh buying demonstra-
tion in other directions. AS the
steels fell behind the coppers were
taken up, partly because these
stocks had previously participated
only moderately in the upward
movement, and partly because Of
genuine conviction that the market
for the copper metal is at the be-
ginning of a revival similar to that
OF the steel market two months ago.
The foreign exchange markets
were steady and French govern
ment and municipal issues which
had been under pressure for the
last week, had quite a pronounced
recovery. This seemed to bear out
the statement expressed in the lat
est cables from Paris that the fail
ure at Genoa had not disheartened
the markets there because it had
all along been thoroughly expected.
AS for the new Hague conference,
called for June, to take up the
Russian question again, financial
opinion and any reaction there may
be to the matter in the markets
will naturally be postponed until
It is certain the United States will
not accept the invitation to join in
the deliberations. Such refusal. ac-
cording to the prevailing European
view would foredoom this second
gathering also.
The behavior of most of the steel
stocks with the exception of Lacka-
wanna in the days market was
consistent with the usual Wall
street policy after the good news
is out. The Observation-Disclosures
merger has been accomplished.
The other and larger combination
which included Republic Iron and
Steel and Midvale has, from the
best Information, virtually been
completed. Therefore it is not>sur-
prislng that people who have had
advance knowledge of these deals
should have been DESTROYS of draw
ing down some of their profits.
One or two of the oil stocks
Standard Oil of California and
Transcontinenta1 Oil-were bid up
but they were exceptions, involving
apparently a special cause. Specu-
lation in oil shares generally has
rather been killed by the official
figures on the gasoline supply,
which, although they only cover up
to April /, show that the reserves
were still altogether abnormal de-
spite the improvement in the de-
mand since the first of the year.
The April figures in the foreign
commerce do not show any great
amount of change as compared
with March. Exports were a trifle
larger while imports fell off $39,-
ures stood at $104,900, 900 as
against $74,00O,0O0 in March and
the largest monthly
credit in the merchandise trade
since last October.

Paris. Feb. 20th.-The British Govt.
has conditionally accepted the French
proposal to allow the Preparations Com
mission to deal with the German reply
regarding reparation payments this year
and reformation of the German finance
it was stated. The principal reservation
made by t1e British is that the contribu-
ton of the German reply is referred back
to the Preparations Commission. A
meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the
Allies to settle this question is awaiting
only the formation of the new Italian
ministry. The Govt. is wiling to leave
the entire question of organizing the IN
ternational economic conference at
Genoa to the League of Nations, it was
said this morning by a high official with
reference to a report from London that
idea was gaining ground. The French

on the Oval. Frederiksted, between the
Merry Juvenile Club Of this town and a
picked eleven of the St. Patrick's Club
was won by the West End team, the
score being two goals to one, The Fred
eriksted players were, however, grown
up young men and the teams were, there
fore, u~nequally matched. the Christian
sted Club being composed of boys IA to Is
years of age who were nevertheless too
sportsmanlike and game to back out af-
ter they reached the ground and found
the odds against them.

Paris, Feb. 21st.- Louis P. Loucheur
Ex-Minister of Liberated Regions de-
clared last night it was his belief that

plainly that | belieVe'We never will be
able to pay a sou to America. | say
it because there are Americans here
who | hope will cable nv words across
the SEA we uGVCL Call pay uC nLtCSL
billion francs we owe America with the
added interest. America has all the gold
and we could never pay in goods on ac-
count Of the customs barriers raised by
the United States ITSELF, he said. He
added that Mr.. Lloyd George had agreed
in principle to cancel frances debt to
Great Britain on condition that the Uni
ted States cancel Great Britain's debt.
Referring to the question of r6parations

to make Germany pay to the utmost.

TRIES POLITICS; GETS LAUGH

Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin X,
Lane and Senator Francis G, New,
lands, of Nevada, were the men who
created national interest in the recla-
nation of western land through irri.
cation. and all three of them have
figured in the senate discussion on
that subject. Senator Pittman, of
Nevada, recently paid a tribute to
Senator Newlands as the father of
the western reclamation policy, and
called attention to the fact that Sen
ator Newlands was a Democrat
In the more recent discussion in
the senate, Senator Nicholson. Re-
publican, Colorado. by implication dis
paraged the late Secretary Lane by
declaring that Theodore Roosevelt
was the man who placed reclamation
on the map. Whereupon Senator Har-
rison paid a tribute to the late Pres
ident Roosevelt as a great man, but
exposed Senator Nicholson as a sup
porter OF Mr.. Taft and an opponent
of Roosevelt when the two we're can
didates for president.
Senator King, Democrat, Utah. add
ed to the confusion of Senator Mich
olson by interiecting this statement:
THE senator (Mr. Nicholson) sup
ported Mr.. Taft, and Mr.. Taft and the
Republican party conducted a cam
paign of vituperation and abuse of
Mr.. Roosevelt
Il yield to the senator from Colo
RADIO to answer" said Senator Harri-
son. But Senator Nicholson was ST.
lent and the incident closed with

ARRESTED IN PARIS

When Richard English of Paris, ap-
piled to Postmaster J. Walter Payne
in the lobby of the Paris postoffice
for C. o. d. package and had paid
the charges, amounting to $119, and
received the package, he felt hand
laid on his shoulder and turning
around saw State Narcotic Agent l..
H. Sheehan, of Louisville, and Sher-
iff M. Peele Colliner, of Paris, who
informed him he was under arrest on
a charge of violating the narcotic
laws. English was taken into the
private office of Postmaster Payne,
where the package was opened and
found to contain sixteen ounces of
morphine, enough, according to Shee-
han, to last $50 physicians for at
least three months through an epi-
demic requiring its use. The boot
leg value of the narcotic was esti-
mated at $4,000. Joseph Veal, Louis
vile, who was with English at the
time of the arrest, was also held with
the former as an accomplice.-Paris
