TARIFF WARJN SENATE ON Republicans Begin Fight for Public Committee Hearings, UNDERWOOD BILL ASSAILED Mlchlirnn Member Declare the Menanre Will lleanlt In Itepe- ' tltlnn of Dnrk Dnya of '.Mnetle. !

While this phase yna pending when the senate adjourned until Tuesday, sev eral republican leaders predicted that they would win their contention and that public hearings would be forced over the heads of tho finance committee, Democratic leaders, however, disputed this prediction. Senator William Alden Smith of Michi gan In a vigorous appeal for considera tion of tho bill In the open Instead of "In the darkness and gloom" of the com mittee room, assailed the tariff bill. He declared that It would result In a repeti tion of "dark days" that followed the Wilson bill, that the sugar Industry would be ruined, that other Industries would suffer, and that already business wns fulling off rupldly throughout the country. Charging that free sugar In three years would give tho American Sugar Refining company and the Federal Sugar Ilefln Ing company an option which they would foreclose on the property of the beet sugar Interests, their only domestic rivals.

GAIN IN BUILDING SHOWN Production of Iron nnil Steel Con tinues Close to Cnpnclty De liveries .M title More Prom ptly. NEW YORK, May 10. Dun's Review today says: In Mlto of some curtailment of orders lor merchandise uffectt-U by pending tariff changes the umirually favorable crop conditions have resulted in .1 marked Increase of confidence throughout the west nnd south. The passuge of the tsrlfff bill by the house of representa tives brings the end of this element of uncertainty mi asm ably nearer. Mean while It Is a most encouraging fact that reports from flfty-lght cities show a gain In building activity for April of 1 I er cent, as compared with tho same Month in 112, a heavy decrease at New York City bolng more thnn offset by gains elsewhere, particularly at Chicago and at most points in the west and on thu Pacific slope. Production of Iron and steel continues closo to capacity, but new shares ro less Insistent and deliveries are made more promptly. In textiles warmer and more settled weather has greatly Im proved the volume of retail trade, al though mordants are still conservative In pluclng fltllng-ln orders. There is a somowhat tetter outlook for leuther, but hides continue easy. All speculative markets are dull and this fact accounts largely for the dacrcase In bank eurn Ings from last year, which, however. Is comparatively small, amounting to only 7 per cent thlx week. Recovery (from western flood effects Is fairly complete. Rullroud earning In April Increased 2.7 per cent over Inst year. Financial senti ment In the east Is less cheerful than mercantile sentiment in the west, but money locally continues essy. Heavy refunding of corporate, Issues Is, how- ever, duo tho remaining months of the year. The best feature of tho situation Is tho fact that every condition favors large crops. The foreign commerce .at the port of New York during the most recent week amounted to $.13,4S,8SJ ugalnst 32,144, 5W last year. Commercial failures this week In the United States are 274, against 263 tho cor responding -week last year. Failures In Canada number 23. HIIADSTIIEET'S OPTIMISTIC. Uiiiiaimlly Fnvornble Crop Pros pects Influence Conditions. NEW YORK, May 10. Brodstreefs to day says: Trade movements evidence the existence of barriers to active progress, but the week's progress, nevertheless, .indicate the current needs aro of heavy volume and that they are more sufficient to make for a satisfactory. If not Indeed, active distri bution of current account. Consequently Jobber's stocks, which are by no means large, are being subjected to further in roads and though there Is considerable evidence, of frequent shopping for small parcels, this tendency really Is Indicative of a wish to cut cloth only when and as It Is needed. On the other hand, buying for future accounts except In a fow sections feels tho Incubus of prospective tariff regula tions, and It Is over this aspect of af fairs that most caution Is manifested. Still adjustments are being made In con sonance with what Is deemed to be In evitable and as a result the unsettlement that Is giving rise to mixed conditions In economlo affairs Is to be regarded as of a transitory character. Seldom have crop prospects been moro favorable, soli con ditions almost cverywhero being unus ually propitious, -while the outlook for winter wheat Is well nigh Ideal. At tho moment prices for textiles In the east tend to resist declines and a reaction toward more or less Bteadlness Is re flected In some branches of the cotton goods trade. Wool Is qulot and most new wools coming In are on consignments. While retail trade Is good, It would move more freely if weather conditions were settled. Labor does not lack employment, build ing being very nctlvo with mill work showing no abatement. Flour manufac turing Is quiet nnd there Is loss doing In Iron and steel, both as regards specifica tions for the finished article and new business. Copper Is firm, not so much because of new demand as to tho statistical position of the motal. There arc fewer Idle cars. Lake tonnage Is heavy. Prices for meat, farm and dairy products are lower. Col lections may be considered about fair. Money Is a little easier but the banks are well loaned up. Bonds have lately worked Into a better position but stock market operations continue narow.
