Which Retrains More Than Tfcree Points. NEW YORK, Aug. l7.-8ome s ight Im provement was shown by the stock market today. At the aliening a drive of the (-hurts served to depress prices of many issues to a new low level, but the list Bo.in became relatively steady. Shortlv before the close another selling movement obllteiated a majority of the gains, the general list beln lower than the preceding day. The most encouraiflnK feature was the bin Ing and resultant strength of I'nlon Pa cific, which, after selling down to yester dny's low point, rebounded, and by mid day had gained more than three points. If surface conditions nmv be accepted aa a guide buving of Cnlon Pacific today eminated from substantial sources which have vehemently denied much of the gossip recently current and denounced the selling of I'nlon Pacific as having orlslnated In obscure or Irresponsible quarters. I'nlted States Steel also reflected good support at advancing prices, although turning heavv when offerings became too free. The stock waa taken In large amounts, the day's output being 217,000 shares. Manv stocks displayed a distinct lack ward tendencv, particularly St. Paul. Read ing. Lehigh Valley and the Hill Issues. The street waa plainly discouraged over the prospects of indefinite prolongation of the congressional session and the apparent failure of the efforts to adjust the labor situation In England. The statement of the Bank of England conveyed no Idea of any undue strain. Its proportion of re serves to liabilities Increased almost 2 per cent and was well above the average for the last ten years.

Buyers of beef steers were all out In the yards In good season In the morning and it did not take them very long to clean) up everything in sight. Still the trade was not active, it being a rather slow, but fully steady market. There were some cat tle here better than anything seen in the yards for a long time, one bunch selling up as high as $7.80, not only the highest prices touched so far this year, but the highest of any time since September of last year, when $7.85 was the top. Cows and heifers were in fair demand, but the market was without any especially new or entertaining features. Prices In the main were fully steady with yesterday. The offerings of stock cattle and feeders were very small, but the demand was good for the better grades. As high aa $5.80 was paid for choice branded westerns.

About eighty five loads of animals, mostly heavy butch ers, consisting largely of aows, made up the run. and despite continued limited re ceipts the demand from all quarters proved conservative. Droves for local killing were put up in leisurely fashion, costing around $7.10fn7.15. Extra heavy and rough packers moved at or near $7.03. Support from shippers and speculators still cuts a big figure In the trade, fully 10 per cent of the run moving Into channela other than local packing. Closing demand waa possibly a little stronger than the de mand early in tba sesalon, but It was well along toward 11 o'clock before ySrds were J entlrelv cleared. Rest bscon animals on sale moved at $7.46, Identical with yesterday a blah price. while ordinary butchers sold largely at $7.10. Representative aalea: Kt s P.

Tnide In all of Its branches was rather late in starting, the delay In fat sheep partly arising from the necessity of sort ing and shaping up the supply In general. Demand for good killing grades had a strong undertone, however, and bulk of business was done on a steady to shade higher basis. Toppy ewes reached $3.6V the highest price paid for some time, and fat yearllnga on the handy weight order went to a packers' pen at $4.75. The per centage of heavy wethers Is becoming smaller dally, of course, and while the de mand Is naturally more responsive early rounds produced little business of conse quence. Good heavy wethers are selling around $3.40rd3.50 and handy classes are quotable up to $3.75. As compared with last week's close all kinds of fat sheep are closing firm Xo perhaps a little higher in spots. Good Ismbs moved with a fair degree of freedom around $6.5"fff6.fi5. Indicating a steady trade and a quotable limit of $6.90 or $7.00. Much of the strength apparent earlier In the week has vanished and cur rent values average generally steady with those of laat Friday. Feeder demand failed to show as much ilfe as on recent days, but this condition was not very surprising In view of the fact that a reduced week-end supply Is generally large enough to satisfy a coun try demand of curtailed volume on the clos ing days of any week. Prices were well sustained, even though trading was quiet, leaving a set of quotations that show lott 40c advances over last week's close. Feeder purchases yesterday amounted to 4,800 head, about half of total receipts.

STEEL AND THEJANIC OF '07 Theodore Roosevelt Writes Article on Subject for Magftxine. ACTION NECESSARY AT THE TIME Sttnaenarnt Cnatrol of Basinets Tkrostk Ore Property lloea Slot Absolve to nap y from vio lation of ahrrmati Art, NEW YORK. Aug. 17-Ex-rresldent Roosevelt has an article on "The Steel Corporation and the Panic of 1917" In the Outlook appealing today. Mr. Roosevelt discusses his recent appearance before the congrestonal committee investigating the Steel Corporation, repeating the written statement he then presented and dealing with some of the lines of Inquiry and Irs responses. He says: "On Saturday. August 6, In compliance with the request of the chairman of the congreslonal committee Investigating the absorption of the Tennessee Coal & Iron compiiny by tic Steel corporation, 1 ap peared before that body. 1 had nothing hew to which to testify. There was tint a fact of the sMKhtest Importance or of the slightest bcaiing upon my action which was not already known, and which hail not been known from the time I acted and Incidentally I may mention that this Is also true as regnrds Panama, the deal ings of my administration with the Sugar Trust or any other trust, and aa to any other action of my administration. No body need feet either concern r hope as to whether anything done by my adminis tration will be "discovered," for the ex cellent reason that there Is nothing that was. hidden. Did Not Inquire About Motives. "I made to the committee the statement which follows. Several questions wers then askrd by different members of the committee. Most of these questions dealt with matters not of sufficient moment to warrant allusion to them here. Many of them were as to what my belief was con cerning the motives of the Steel Corpora tion pcoplo In auqtyrlng the Tennessee Coal & Iron company's property; to which, of course, my answer was that It was not my business, and neither was It In my power to search the hidden domain of mo tive, and that my action was conditioned, not upon what 1 believed to be the mo tives actuating the Steel Corporation, but upon my belief that the action which they proposed taking would be enormously to the benefit of the community at large at that particular moment. Whether the chief motive for their action was a doelre to absorb the Tennessee Coal & Iron com pany, or whether their chief motive was to save the threatened New York firm from failure, and thereby stop the panic, was ot no concern to me. "That both motives were in their minds I thought possible, and now think possible. What was the predominant motive was of no consequence. My concern was that the action should be taken and the situation saved to the Interests of the people of the United States. Most Individuals have short memories and the events in question took place nearly four years ago; but if any one will look back and think the matter over seriously and in good faith, he will under stand that It was not a question of saving any bank or trust company from failure; the question was of saving the plain people, the common people. In all parts of the United States from fearful misery and suf fering; and this was what my action did. Action Waa Necessary. "One of the questions put to me Indicated disbelief, or, to be more accurate, perhaps, I should say that It was meant to be under stood as Indicating disbelief, that the action taken waa really efficient In stopping the panic. At the time, and for some months after the panic had been stopped, no man would have ventured to express such dis belief unless prepared to be greeted with derision by every human being who knew anything whatever of the actual facts. The question Is not be be treated seriously, for It cannot' be so treated. The action taken was. In my Judgment, the only action that could stop the panic, and It most certainly was of enormous, and In all human prob ability of decisive, Influence In actually stopping It "Certain other . question related to the alleged fact that during the last four years the ore lands formerly owned by the Ten nessee Coal and Iron company have been developed until they are of such enormous Importance as to give to the steel corpora tion nearly complete control of the steel buslnrss, through control of the sources of the raw material. Whether or not this Is so has no bearing upon the action taken four years ago. The purchase as made did not by Itself, one way of the other, af fect the status of the steel corporation so far as the Sherman law was concerned; and this statement Is not affected by considera tion of what may not be a totally different state of affairs four years later. I dealt with facts as they were, not with facts as they might or might not afterwards be come. I believe that this coyers every point of any consequence raised in the questions put to me after I had made my statement."
