DUBLIN REVOLT FAILS TO SHAKE LONDON MARKET English Economist Says Present Outbreak Is Dif ferent From 1798 Uprising REDMOND PRAISED Ireland Is Too Prosperous to Lend Herself to Dangerous Separatist Movement By FRANCIS W. HIRST R neclat Cable lo Evenlno Ledger LONDON. April 20. Ireland Is tho home of surprises. The Inst Is unplens. nut, but according to the Stock Exchange baromctor tho city does not take It very seriously. Thero nlwnya has been an operatic a)r nbout tho Sinn Fein, which probably ac counts for the cxccsilvo optimism In Dub Mil Castle. Cortnlnly our stock market has been dull nnd lifeless since tho hull days, but tho final repulse of the Oermnn attacks nt Verdun Is felt to more than outweigh tho dlsngrcenblo news from Dublin and tho prolonged Cnli'net crisis, Ireland, I think, Is too prosperous to bo widely nnd dnngcrottily rebellious. In 170S tho situation was very different, Itc llglous. political and economic oppression caused cruol grievances which no longer exist, and thousands of I'rotostnnta were revolutionaries. Tho rebolllon then wni led by nobles, priests nnd I'rotcstant squires. My lieliof Is that tho present ebullition should subside quickly under firm treatment. The sensible speeches of Redmond and Carson are a good omen, French exchange Is recovering under the salutnry Influence of n strong doso of gold shipped from Paris. American Bharcs nro better, thanks to moro favorablo reports ns to your labor disputes. Scandinavia Is now the most prosperous part of Kurope. Reports thence Indlcato much depression In llerniany. As to our Cabinet crisis, tho shuffling of the political cards might brliig somo fresh and useful men Into tho administration. PHILADELPHIA MARKETS GRAIN AND FLOUK WHEAT Hecelpts. 3:111.374 bush.

In nn nrtlclo In tho Berliner Tnireblatt n German who was an interned civil prisoner In .1 British con centration camp, but was exchanged and returned to Germany, describes tha relief work given by the British Society of Friends to Imprisoned Germans In Great Britain. "Tho Quakers first appeared nt the con ccntratlon camps In October, 1914," says tho Ovorseast News Agency summary of the article. "They visited Individually all tho prisoners and made records of tho destitute families left by them, and nil these families received help from the Friends, tho society also providing em ployment to such prisoners as were re leased. "The Quakers furnished books and re views to the camps, and held lectures, which, however, were soon prohibited by the British authorities. Thoy also pro vided transportation for those allowed to return homo, and distributed food and clothing among destitute Germans who had been left nt liberty, but being without employment wero unable to pro vide for themselves. Becords wero kept of all these families, and the children in them received milk nnd healthful food. A woman physician was charged with tho care of children and of women who wero lit. The Quakers also Invited des tltue persons of alien birth Into their homes and treated them there with cordiality and with the utmost tact.

City Will Dig Turning Basin in Front of Port Richmond Elevators "Work will be started Monday morn ing on the digging of a turning basin In front of the Tort Richmond export ele vators of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company. This work will ex tend from Dyott street to just below Cam bria street. Shipping Interests have felt the need of a deeper channel In this vicinity for a long time, but as thero was no Fed eral appropriation to do this work, which Is under the Jurisdiction of the Federal Government, nothing was done. During the last Administration at a conference between city and Federal officials It was arranged for the city to dig thla basin. Assistant Director Hasskarl, of the De partment of Wharvest Docks and Ferries, said yesterday that tiro work would prob ably be completed by the middle of July. The contract has been let to the Bowers Southern Dredging Company at 87.45 cents a cublo yard. The channel In this part of the river wll be dug 33 feet deep and a width of 300 feet. At present only I75.000 is available for the work. Detain "Countess" at Ellis Island NEW YORK. April 29.

Estimates of Europe's Inquiries for Steel Range From 250,000 Tons Upward There wan a slight let-up In the demand for bonds during the last week, although prices were not materially changed, only fractional recessions hnvlng been Indi cated throughout the list. Bond houses reported a steady day's business, but there was no noticeably urgent request for large amounts of either bonds or short-term notes. At the closa of the week quotations wero somowhat easier for certain Issues, ntthough It war stated that securities were not pressing for salo from any quar ter. Kntlmntes In steel circles of the tonnage Inquired for by Europe ranges from 250, 000 tons upward, with the average nbout 300,000 tons. It Is stated by some of the best authorities that tho steel Is wanted for munitions and tho only drawback Is the fact that mills In this country Are booked so far In advance that It will Jie Borne tlmo before deliveries can be made. In addition, the domestlo business Is growing larger each week and will absorb moro of tho capacity of the makers than heretofore, which will prevent the booking of all the business offered unless the- ship ments are spread over n long period, ex tending far Into the new year. . Opinions In railroad as well as sterjk circles are that the transportation com panics In this country may reasonably bo oxpected to bo kept busy during the com ing months with freight trafric, and this will have Its effect on cars and locomo. tlves, as well ns the rails, Replacements will be large within tho next year cr lw, it Is believed, and the orders being placed by the roads bear out these views, a Virtually all tho contracts call for dellv crlc late this year and In 1917 While there has been talk In some cir cles that the top mark In prices, as tvell as business In steel, has been reached, or at least Is being approached, there nro many of the beat authorities In the trado who do not share this view. On the Philadelphia Slock Exchange, In the two-hour session today, Tonopah Bel mont was again tha most active Issue, ad vancing to 6, to a new high mark for this year, more than 10,000 shares changing hands before the close. Tonopah Mining waa up Vi. The activity In Bql mont was caused by the further advance In tho price of bar sliver, Tho advanoo In the price of tho white metal means very much to Belmont, which has 1,000, 000 ounces stored. Tonopah Mining has 000,000 ounces, and Jim Butler has 400, 000 ounces. Price movements throughout the general local list wero Irregular. Reading was weak In sympathy with n downward turn , In the Now York market, as wa.s Baldwin .J,ehlRh Valley Transit common gained a half. Electric Storage lost U point. Philadelphia Electric moved up fraction ally, as did the Traction Issues.
