The morning session of the Exchange was characterized by the most intense dullness, Indifference on the part of the usual speculative market, the absence of many of the usual traders and a lack of news of sufficient Importanco to cause more than fractional changes In prices. To this extent has the market displayed its keen disappointment at being obliged to wait yet another period for the elimination of tho great stumbling block in the path -of aggressive action.

The ordinary run of news was not especially important, but at the same tlmo it was more encouraging than otherwise. Money is easy despite the fact that the country is drawing funds from reserve centers rather more liberally. The annual report of the New York Central showed earnings of 6.41 per cent on the stock. Moderate gains In tho earnings, gross, on all lines of the system were wiped out by tho increasing cost of operating. President Brown gave notice that he would seek an Increase In freight rates if the expenses continued to Increase.

He also made public an equipment agreement between the roads in the system to issue 44 per cent equipment trust certificates to bo repaid in fifteen annual installments. Interest and dividend disbursements for Aptll 1 will exceed and this should at least give impetus to tho bond market and may cut some llguro in the stock list. Steel producers report considerable improvement in their business. Tho American Bridge Company has been awarded tho contract for 6,400 tons of steel for the New York postofllce building adjoining the new Pennsylvania station, and 3,800 tons for a new Masonic temple In this city, me renn-sylvania Company has asked for tenders of 6,000 tons to be used In construction nt Itn tthrtna at AltOOha. There "was no improvemant In tho opening hours of the afternoon.

There may be some life In the last hour, but If it continues as it Is the volume or business for tho day will be tno ngmem. for any full day's session In many months. Customers' rooms wcro deserted, many brokers left the exchange, and the trading posts were given over to the gossip and the Interchange of pessimistic opinions. Steel was higher. Union Pacific s.

"I find that both the borrowers and the lenders hero in the bureau are amor- tho higher priced employes men who get from J1.200 to J2.400 per year. Waple himself received more than $1,200, and yet he was driven almost to suicide by the persecution of loan sharks, both in the bureau and out. who were demanding 10 and 20 per cent a month.

A good spirit prevailed at the meeting. It was agreed to hold four meetings yearly. Jn' a Mtter argument In the inter-mouhtalu rate cases. Attorney Louis D. Brandels charged tlie Interstate Commerce Commission with "unwitting "hut rank injustice against the Atlantic Seaboard." He declared that in favoring shippers of the Middle West, the.

commission was practically killing the inter-mountain business relations of the East. "Nothing could be more unfair," said he, "than to make the orders, which the commlssicvi has made conditionally In these eaises. permanent. Unwittingly the commission has been most unjust. In considering the Middle Western, shippers they have entirely overlooked the welfare of the thousands of brwlness concerns on the Atlantic seaboard.

"The East" has Just awakened in tlie fact that It is about to tx vIrtlmlr.o1 For a long tfne it considered the cases now being argued as concerning the West only. Xt now realizes that the commission hai conditionally given tlie Middle West rtflte concessions which will enable its merchants to monopolize business In the tar West and freeze out Eastern competHora completely." The Oil trust scored on the railroads today when the Interstate Commerce Commission orderod a rediction of one-half cent per hundsed pounds on freight rates on crude oil shipped from tlie wells of tho Standaryl Company, at Stoy. to points in Indiana.
