The San Juan ana Arecibo councils have passed "< cents per pound taxes, following the ac tion of Mayaguez. There"is serious ques tion of the effectiveness of the action taken unless all the cities '. Join In it. Merchants are exercising vigilance against suspected importers. >: m .m dares to openly import coffee, as it. would mean his ruin by boycotting.

Steel stocks themselves and their price movement are narrow. The market guardians of the stocks shov.'ed. themselves amply able to take charge of all the stock offered, shoeing that the company's shares have come to be closely. held. But the sup porters of the stocks are inclined to take profits on holdings thus acquired upon ay advance in T>rice. and they bid up the prices when anything like an out_ side demand develops for the "stocks. Un der these artificial conditions-the move ment of the stocks.has little significance The • general list showed a disposition today to ignore the : steel s, cocks. Th*» railroads concerned in. the Northern Pa cific settlement and others allied by iden tic! ownership or otherwise resumed the leadership of the market today. This may | have been based upon a published- re port of a prolonged conference yesterday at Ear Harbor between the three finan ciers who conducted the Northern Pacific contest and its settlement. The Morgan and Harririian roads were generally ef fected in sympathy/including Illinois Central, Chicago & -Alton, Southern Railway and Chicago,. Indianapolis & Louisville. . ■;>'-:.■;. The • anthracite carriers manifested some strength and the bituminous coal carrier* made gains., although Norfolk & ; Western and Chesapeake & Ohio suffered ; from profit-taking. A sharp decrease in earnings of Norfolk & Western for th*» second week •in August seemed to em phasize thi3 disposition. Some large In ! dividual blocks of Southern Pacific Union .Pacific and St. Paul were taken 'in the last hour, and those -stocks rose l%<slvi over last night. The-stock market con tinued to show -sensitiveness to develop ments in the.money ami exchange mar ket, A sharp recovery in sterling this morning led to somja., inaction from the opening strength in .stocks. Offerings of wheat bills were porte smaller in con nection with < reports, ofi smaller seaboard" wheat clearances, which caused a reac tion in the wheat" market. But this in liuence was largely offs, i by the targe receipts on account of. Australian gold ,i. posited at San a Francisco. The sub , treasury's debit balance with the clear ing house of $1,852,802 was caused by re ceipt of checks agaiast-gold on the Pa cine coast to the amMttrrt of $1,400,000 A fcrther shipment 0W>.500,C00 is on the ■way to San Francisco from Sydney This makes It evident that th- London market wUi find a way: to-meet: its gold obliga tions 10 New York-without stress and possibly without actual shipments of gold it is to be noted, however, that United States + treasury operations continued to drain the money market the govern ments, surplus thus far this ■ month hay-; ing reached $1,564,021. while for the cor responding period of last year the eovernl or $4....^1..^.

The low priced shares seem to show the most activity, and perhaps they offer the best inducements for the time being. To our mind there is very little to be guined from a market llke this.
