Council in its meeting in Rome last night. The attempt on the life of Signor Mussolini in Bologna last Sunday, and the recent incidents in Southern France are understood to have a connection with both, although the re-establishment of the death penalty had been considered for some time. The resignation of eight Ministers and Under-Secretaries was announced to the Council last night, notably that of Signor Luigi Federzoni, Minister of the Interior. Signor Mussolini himself takes over the portfolio of the Interior, leaving the six major Ministries in his hands—War, Navy, Aeronautics, Corporations, Foreign Affairs, and Interior. He is retaining Signor Federzoni in the Cabinet, however, giving the head of the Nationalists the Ministry of the Colonies, the post he held before the murder of Matteotti. The Tribuna views the changes as an essentially Fascist move, made necessary by the need of consolidating the unity of the régime, and placing under one head the activity of Government and Party. Earlier in the day the Fascist Council approved the text of a Bill aimed against the enemies of Fascism. The Bill would revise all passports for abroad, prevent emigration, suspend any publication criticizing the régime, dissolve any association working against the régime, create a fixed domicile for anti-Fascists, take sanctions against those who wear the Fascist uniform without right to do so, and establish a special bureau of political investigation attached to each Fascist command. In addition, the death penalty is instituted for attacks on the person of the King, Queen, Crown Prince, Regent, WALL STREET ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Call-money rates rule steady. It is worthy of note that transactions shrink in amount on declines. Nothing like definite orientation of the local list is expected to develop at the short session with which the week ends today. There are conflicting influences. On the favorable side may be reckoned the prediction of a 200,000-ton increase in unfilled orders of the United States Steel Corporation at the end of the month. The market resists selling pressure consistently despite the announcement that the ratios of the Federal Reserve Banks are smaller. The Iron Age in its weekly trade review states that the pig iron and steel markets are at variance, the former being active and advancing, owing to the strength of coal, and the latter quiet. Steel production has so far not been affected to the same extent as have orders, but the output for November is expected to show more decline compared with October than October compared with September.

(Paris Times Radio) NEW YORK, Saturday.—Il' merger of Eastern and Middle Western railroad lines being made by Mr. O. P. Van Sweringen and Mr. M. J. Van Sweringen, owners of the Nickel Plate Line, has shifted ground again and the new basis is reported to be a lease of the Nickel Plate to the Chesapeake and Ohio line. It is believed that such a combination will have the immediate approval of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The Eastern terminus of the Nickel Plate-C. and O. combination will be Hampton Roads, Virginia, and Newport News, Virginia, the present Atlantic coast ports of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. The Nickel Plate Railroad now unites Chicago, St. Louis, and Cleveland with Buffalo. By its union with the C. and O. it has a good Atlantic terminus, while the Chesapeake and Ohio at the same time gains an outlet in the Lake district for Eastern coal shipped Westward. The Chesapeake and Ohio is a great soft-coal road, carrying from the mines of West Virginia and Kentucky to the Atlantic seaboard and to the West. Although it owns connections leading both into Chicago and into Toledo, these were not sufficient to render possible a full utilisation of the capacity of the road. LATEST NEWS American Can (New).

II In Newbury Race (Paris Times Special) LONDON, Saturday.—Highborn II won his match with Oojah at Newbury today. J. O.

Even if the public has not yet adjusted itself to the workings of the Betting Tax and the new duty throws rather a gloom over race meetings, there was no question at Newbury as to what it was that attracted the public. It was certainly an inauspicious time for such an event as the meeting of two of the fastest sprinters in the racing world and the weather did not help. The going was not calculated to assist speed over such a short distance as six furlongs. In spite of these disabilities there was a larger crowd present than has been seen at race meetings since the new duty came into operation.
