NFW TORK. April .-The developments
In 'he outlook for affairs taut week were
resumed na distinctly faorable from
financial standpoint. The effect w to
atlmiilate renewed demand for securities
uffietcnt to outweigh the disadvantages In
the technical position In tha atork market
mA to turn the price movement upward
aaraln. Th" disadvantage in the technical
Doftltfon !sv In the extent to which the
rise In prices had heen carried, the large
Increase In the long account and tho diS'
pcsltloit t close It out a the profits
accrued. This disposition operated to cause
a wavering -of the price movement during
part of the week, Which was read as an
ir,c nf uncertain ' sentiment over the
further progress of Improvement In condl
tlons. The most potent factor In bringing
tpeculative sentiment rut of thla state of
hesitation was the Improve grain crop
advices and practical breaking down of
the speculative corner In wheat. The alump
In wheat waa so clear a demonstration 01
the pravloua Inflation In value that claims
on which the advance had been baaed lost
their power to convince.
Metals Outlook Brlarater.
Moreover, the newa from tha wheat fields
was so distinctly encouraging aa to dissi
pate the Incipient crop scare which hung
over tha financial markota tho week before.
The abatement of anxiety over the agri
cultural prospect waa of decisive Influence
In tha ahaplng of speculative sentiment. A
more cheerful feeling in the great basic
metal tradea was another influential lector
In shaping the financial view. Evidences
multlnlled of the expansion In the Iron and
ttoel trade. Chairman Gary Informed the
Vntted, Stales Steel stockholders that their
business had bten restored to aooui m
olume of the December rate. The expan
elon In tho demand haa pot affected prices
as ret and the business done at current
rates 'rrritsf W '. ar Rorrnenondlnr reduction
tn nroflt. That conditions are shaped
towards restoration waa believed. Reporta
, v. ,nni- trade also Indicated a rate
, of Increaee In the , demand for refined j
copper. Including a large export, that
promised to overtake the rate of production
and put a stop to the surplus accumulation
Replrts of the growth of the general
merchandise movement and of the Increase
of railroad traffic waa more consorvntlve,
although Incoming rapcrts of railroad earn
inga showed gratifying comparisons with
the low earning power of . this period last
year. Tn tha coal trade the feature was
the conference for a settlement of the
anthracite mlnlne; wages and the growing
confidence that an agreement waa In sight.
Meaer Firmer.
The money market gave evidence that
the period f plethoric conditlona was
coming to an end. Rates for call loans
were higher and the tone of the time
loan branch was firmer In accordance
with this ayotem. Cash la coming to New
York still from the interior but the
' ......... ,.t mMA haa been on a scale
sufficient to keep tne nexi , .
The loan account of the banka has con
tinued to expand with the underwriting
of new railroad bond Issues and thla ro
rn.lr.ment has reduced the supply of
funds available for use on call In the
..w market. The bond market enjoynu
a sudden revival after a aubsldence of
activity early In the week, wnicn urougm
the olume of sales on Thursday to a
par value of upwards of 110,000.000, a
market seldom exceeded In breadth and
activity. The march of events In Turkey
waa watched with placid Indifference In
all tbe greet securleles markets and the
calmness with which that newa was re
celved had a considerable sentimental
effect toward assurance.
I.arae Contracts for Steel.
The keen competition among the atoel
mills for ordf ra of finished producta has
resulted tn the placing of a lere volume
of business during the week at low prices.
In some Instances, notably for steel pipe
the Jowest prices In eleven years were
made. Wire producta. prices tor wnicn
have been better maintained than for
other material, with the elngle exceptluu
of ralla. have yielded from SI to i: per
ton; nails now selling from $1S to

Contracts have been closed for finished
Steel products aggregating about 400.000
tons, Including 110.000 tone of ralla, 70.000
tone of billets, 50,000 tons of structural

15,000 tons of bars.
The lamest rail contracta waa S5.000

contract was 15.000 tons for the Curtis

of statistics show that the share which
customs duties have born in producing the

the report, "that because a doien articles
or groups of articles pay three-fourths of
the tariff duties collected that the making
of a tariff and the determination of rates
of duty and the rate of revenue likely to
result therefrom Is by any mans a simple
matter. The rates of duties levied anu not
applied merely to groups of articles as
a whole, but at different rates and In differ

WEEK'S DEBATE ON TARIFF
Senator Bailey .Will Make Extended
Speech on Taxing Incomes Today.
FINAL REPORT ON BILL READY
It Is Expected that Senate Will
Pass Measure Within Foar
Weeks House In Nom
inal Session.
WASHINGTON. April 2T.-The income tax
In connection 'with 'the tariff bill will
receive especial attention in the senate
during the present wrtli 'Senator Bailey;
who has introduced an amendment to the
bill providing for a flat rate of taxing
Incomes, will open the ball on Monday
with a protracted speech In support of
his amendment and he probably will be
followed by others for and against the
provision.
Mr. Bailey has made a careful study
of the Income tax question and will be
prepared to present the subject in all of
Its bearings, both It'gal and economic. He
is expected to express himself pointedly
and no doubt he will be subjected to many
Interruptions, with the result that there
may be much spirited colloquy during his
speech. He, hopes to conclude on Monday
but probably will continue for at least two
days.
The committee on finance probably will
report its final amendment to the tariff
schedules tomorrow, and as soon aa the
opportunity permits the senate will return
to the consideration of the bill, para
graph by paragraph, taking up in order
the Items which during the reading last
week were laid aside for future considera
tion. There are about 200 of these para
graphs and as amendments to each of
them are contemplated It may be Inferred
that much time will still lie necessary for
the completion of the senate's work.
Four Weeks In Senate.
The general opinion Is that the bill will
remain In the senate for. it bout three or
four weeks and after the senate completes
Its work the time of adjournment will de
pend upon the attitude of the house
towards the numerous changes. There
are very few set speeches In prospect, but
among those who will speak are Messrs.
Raynor, Clay and Bcon. The two Geor
gia senators occupy opposite positions on
the lumber schedule. Mr. Clay standing
for free lumber and Mr. Bacon contend
ing for the retention of the Dingley rates
of 12 per thousand feet.
, I'ntll the- committee on finance concludes
Its work the senate will continue to meet
at II o'clock ach day, but as soon as the
comn.lltee finds Itself free to give all of
Its time to tho bill In the senate the hour
of meeting will be advanced probably to 10
o'clock, with a view to facilitating action
