The activity in the stock market continues under
the stimulus Of cheap money and larger traffic upon
the roads of which the shares sold M the Stock
Exchange. Ii is fact evident 10 all who will take
the trouble 10 examine The financial condition of
nearly every road upon the list tnat the natural in
crease Of the business of the country has brought 10
them a permanent traffic sufficient to make them
secure of income upon all their cost Ii il this which
stimulates the present activity, lquite "a much
a. abundance Of money. and, until their traffic de-
crcases no reasonable argument exists for a perna-
nent decline in their market value. Under the eX
ctement Of speculation prices Of course will fuctu-
ate but the short steps will be down and the long
one. up III is ability TO earn dividends under honest
management which now mainly attracts capital TO
such roads as the Northwestern. the Cleveland and
Pittsburgh ard Michigan Southern. Spectators Of
course follow in the wake of men of capital and eX-
perencc in daily affairs, but speculation alone could
not give the railway share.market the hold upon the
Iublic il now possesses.
