, IN TRADING IN NEW YORK MARKET
.Tehdency of Most Stocks, Toward Lower Levels Diplo
. shatic Situatipn Holds Attention New York Centr.il
i ' Makes Fractional Gain on Good Annual Report
V NEW -YOIIK, April 16.
' burinp tho two-hour session on tho Stock Exchange today prlco movements
rcre irregular and tliero wna a tendency In moat stocks to sell to tower lovels.
Trtcn changes, however, wero for tho most port small and unimportant. As
Is Usually tho case on Saturdays, tho trading generally represented ovenlng up
'for the -week-end. There was a slight show of strength In tho Initial trading, but
this- did not last long.
Tho, present diplomatic situations between this country, Germany and Mex
ico continue to hold tho greatest attention In 'Wall street. Tho majority In tho
Street bHH felt that everything would come out satisfactorily and that there was
no need for alarm.
Now York Central was ono of the linn Issues among tho tails, showing a
fractional gain. This was attributed to tho showing of tho annual report, which
was good.
Tho majority of tho war Industrials sold off, ono of tho weakest Issues In
this group being Crucible Steel, which was dowrt moro than a point. Coppers
wero fairly firm, because of the- continued largo demand for tho red metal.

DECIDE TO BUILD BRIDGE
Conshohocken Will Get a New Struc
ture Across the Schuylkill
NORIUSTOWN. April 16. The Mont
gomery County Commissioners have an
nounced that they will erect a new bridge
across the Schuylkill River at Consho
hocken. This action is the result of a
petition tiled some years ago and kept
alive through the efforts of David II.
Ross, of Conshohocken. He advocated
that a concrete bridge be thrown across
the Pennsylvania and Reading ratlroad
tracks In Conshohocken, the Reading main
line in West Conshohocken and tha river
at a probable' coat of JI60.000,
Whether this kind of a structure -will
be built the commissioners do not say,
but it is believed that a bridge of lesser
magnitude will be agreed upon. The com.
mlssloners decided to make Immediate re-'
pairs to the old wooden bridge, which ha
..W..W " .ww .w. w..... .,. .. ...w.. u.v wU-
mlssloners declare is "in a most dangerous
condition." Unt! such repairs are made
the commissioners will employ four men
to regulate the traffic over it to prevent
accidents. A team nearly went through
the planking of the bridge a few days
ago.

ASQUITH SPEECH

PEACE HOPES GROW
By FRANCIS W. HIRST
L'nltor of the Economist, London.
Special Cable (0 liventno J.etiocr
LONDON', April IB. Market conditions
durlnir the week have nltorsd very little,
but since Premier Asqulth's speech and
the Impression It has made, confidence has
Increased, especially In glltedgeu stockn.
It Is expected that more minimum prices
will bo removed Boon, and the Treasury
Is taking; new steps to encournrjo Invest
ment tn wnr lonns. The enormous quan
tity of outstanding Treasury bills Is due
to the fact that Investors and business
men wish to have funds nvllable as soon
ns pence comos In sight. Dcsldcs this.
Treasury bills fill the void left by tho
great reduction of trade In bank bills.
The withdrawal of tho railway tax: Is
not surprlslnff, In view of tho criticisms
It evoked. Tho amusement tax ami the
mntch tax nro also under fire, but tho
budget, as a whole, probably will stand,
though some special severities In the new
Incomo-tax scnlo mny be modified.
BIy first Impression orf Premlor A
nulth's reply to Chancellor von Bethmann
Hollwey Is rather strengthened by inquiry.
It has removed an Important obslaclo to
peace processes. TI10 fact that It has been
published In the German press nlso seemd
significant.
A very shrewd member of 1'nrllament
writes me concerning Lord Cromer's let
ters and Mr. Asqulth's speech; "Thore
is one great gain, namely, matters have
been placed on tho footing- of argument
Instead of mero hrulo force."
The oxchango situation In Scandinavia
and Russia Is very artificial, now that
Norway, as well as Sweden and Denmark,
refuses gold. Russian exchange may Im
prove on tho reopening of Archangel. Yes
terday a decline of Italian exchange curi
ously was accompanied by a rise In tho
French rate.

CHECK WITH VARIED CAREER
FINALLY LANDS IX CARD GAME
Man "Who Snys Ho Found It Is Held
on Charge of Stealing It
A check for $5.25 that circulated for
two months, met with many experiences,
and finally was canned nt a bank, and
was tho cause of Arthur Mnwchkcr, 20
years old, of ICaBt St. Ixmls, III., being
held by Justice Townsond on $200 bond
to await tho nctlon of tho grand Jury
on n charge of stealing tho paper.
The check was issued by tho East St
Louis Cotton Oil Company to an employe,
who cashed It at a grocery store. Tho
grocer gave It to Oscar Dertke, a bread
wagon driver. Dertko turned It In to
his firm, which sent It to the bank, whence
It was returned with tho notice that It
had not been properly countersigned by
the oil company. It was returned to
Dertko to be returned to tho grocer, but
Dertke missed It after he had hung the
coat containing It 6n a nail.
Mashkor says he found tho check on
the ground. He then took It to the oil
company's office, had It countersigned,
tried twlco to ensh it, failed, and finally
lost It In a card game. Several days
later it appeared at the bank and was
accepted.
ITALY CHEAPEST COUNTRY

Prices of Foodstuffs Have Not
In-
creased Materially
Italy Is said to be the cheapest nf the
countries at war In which to llve cheaper
even than neutral Switzerland. Hotel rates
are still reasonable and house and apart

wera before the war. Food prices have
not Increased as much as In France, Ger
many and England. This last-mentioned
condition Is duo mainly to the laws pro
hibiting the exportation of all foodstuffs.
The only food product, tho increase in
tho prlco of which has troubel the Italian
stomach, Is macaroni. Its price has gone
from 6 to 10 cents n pound. Eggs have
remained stationary in price,
The only seemingly Insurmountable dif
ficulty of the poor lies in the cost of coal
for heating and cooking, Fuel has In
creased from 24 cents the hundred pounds
to 75 cents. This difficulty, too, the
poorer people meet by the co-operative
kitchens, where several families cook their

SENSATIONAL CHANGES IN FOREIGN J

Market Quiet, With Prices Generally Unchanged
Tho market for foreign exchange dur
ing the last week was so sensational as
to recall to mind the unprecedented Un
Rettlement nnd contusion that developed
after the beginning of tho European war,
which resulted finally In n quotation of
$7 per pound sterling. At the low level
nf tho week, 6.09, frnnc checks showed a
discount from normal of approximately
16.14. That level mado tho decline from
the opening figures of the Inst day of
the previous week 8 ',4 points for checks
and 8 points for cables. Tho week ending
February 19, Fronch checks were quoted
nt 5.83 nnd cables 5.87 u.
As a prominent foreign exchange expert
put It, France la hard set to finance con
tinued enormous purchases of wnr sup
plies In this country. Franco's particular
problem Is to provldo the $360,000,000 to
settle this Indebtedness to the United

BRITISH WAR OFFICE EXEMPTS
SUB-EDITORS (COPY READERS)
Considered More Essential to Papers
Than Any Other Members of
the Staffs
The British War Ofllce has refused to
exempt from army service a great many
newspaper men and women who have
been designated by the Newspaper Pro
prietor's Association of London as essen
tial to tho work of publishing the local
papers.
Art editors, photographers and dark
room operators are not considered as edi
torial btaff employes by the War Ofllce,
and It refused to exempt them from mili
tary service. The same ruling was ap
plied to all society editors, fiction editors.
sporting editors and headline writers.
Sub-editors (copy readers) were considered
more essential to the papers than any of
the other members of the staffs.
"The general principle to bo followed,"
the War Ofllce ruled, "Is that the men to
be exempted are serving some vital pur
pose during a time ot war."
Many of the leading London papers
were careful to publish a notice reading
much like this: "It should be mentioned
that the editor of the London has
not applied for exemption or postponement
of services in any case of any war-age
men on the editorial staff."

"No, Gus did not get drowned!" says
tha Wlnfleld correspondent of the Els

lunches, soft drinks. Ice cream, fancy
candles, tobacco and cigars. Step In and
see him since he got his bath." Kansas

BIG INCOME TAX GAINS
This Year's Receipts Will Total $100,
000,000, it New Record
Reports to the Trenmiry Department
and the Commissioner of Internal Revenuo
Indicate that tho collections of Income
taxes, for which returns wore mado up to
Mnrcli 1, will nggrcgntc $100,000,000. This
estimate Includes $19, 487,000 already col
lected slnco the beginning of the fiscal
year. The collections of corporation ami
Income taxes In tho lata fiscal year
amounted to $80,000,00" and the highest
estimate made thus far this year has been
$85,000,000.
The $100,000,000 mark Is the highest In
tho history of the Income tax. The causes
for this increase are vnrlously explained.
It Is held by a majority of those In the
Internal revenue sorvlco that the general
prosperity of tho country Is responsible
for tho result. By others it is the opinion
that the enormous orders of war muni
tions have brought about tho Increase in
corporation taxes and In incomes.
It Is certain that In the figures of ex
ports In war supplies enormous Increases
appear from month to month, and these
products are from concerns that from the
begnlnlng of the war have been closely In
spected by the Internal rovenue authori
ties. It will not be possible however, to
know prcclsoly the source of the expected
Increases In Internal revenue taxation un
til well on toward the end of the fiscal
year.
Telephone Far From Piano
One Important point about musical good
housekeeping: Keep the telephone as far
na possible from the music room. It Is
fatal to cut off the Krcutzer sonata, just
ut the most frenzied climax, while the
grocer explains why he forgot the lard,
or the operator Informs you In a bored
voleo that she begs your pardon. Robert
