puts q mandate on the commission to Ak

view the improved earnings OF Febru-
airy and March, chiefly owing 70 i'm
minence of coal strike. would not
Justify q rate reduction. The bearish
attitude toward the rails was enhanced
by the possibility that the American
situation might be influenced indirectly
by the 40 per cent freight rate reduc-
ton In Canada, which, according 70

Heavy Selling at Close.

After a day, In which the markets
action had been decidedly irregular,
came a wave Of selling just before the
close and carried stocks down sharply.
The general list closed near the SEES
sion's low points. Selling in those Issues
which had been among recent specula-
tive favoritea and advances of which had
been most marked was particularly
noticeable. A canvas OF commission
houses revealed that major part OF the
selling was liquidation of long stock.
Part OF II WAS proht taking and part
OF II for traders who did not like the
markets action, and were disposed to
step aside and watch proceedings. That
there was bear selling could not be
denied, but demand for stocks in the
loan crowd was not sufficiently heavy to
indicate that such selling had been i'm
portant.

the proceeds Oh the DOnQ money IN

taking care of the interest and sink
ing fund.
There are special expenses taken
care of by the fund.
I'm making the levy Of tax for the
interest and sinking fund the commits
sion OF the trustees is included there
in.
I'm no instance should any tax be
levied out of the general fund to take
care Of this Indebtedness, which is a
specially created debt to be taken care
OF by the specially created funds"
