CIews on stocks.

NEW YORK, March 5-The stock market
is flooded with mysteries, " and rumors of
gigantic railroad deals upon an unprece-
dented scale as being either in progress or
| already accomplished. Details of these
have filed the daily press for weeks past.
but only such operators as are within the
charmed circles appear to know the true
inwardness of many of them. AS a conse-
quence, Judgment passes for little in es-
timating the future value of many securi-
ties, for the market IS almost wholly under
the control of comparatively few persons,
whose operations must inevitably influence
the value of thousands of millions of stocks
and bonds. Never in the history of Wall
street was the value of such an enormous
aggregation of securities so absolutely I'M
der the control of so small circle as at
this time Such a state of affairs cannot
be considered satisfactory; because not
only is speculation likely 10 be unhealthy
stimulated, but the future of these combi-
nations gives birth to a variety of uncer-
taiuties which, while they may elevate
prices, will certainly not add to their sta
bility. There is little question but that in
the end some Of these combinations will
work for the best interests of all concerned;
but in proportion as their result means in
creased profits to capital without CORE
spending benefits to the masses, and so far
as their effort is to restrict competition, we
may, sooner or later, expect the awakening
Oi~acLlNe puOllC QOSIlllUy. AgSreSSlOnS OIL
this sort by capital are sure to be followed
by reprisals on the part of labor; while the
demagogue in politics requires no better
material for his anti-monopoly cry than
these com bines to restrict competition, and
the labor agiLator finds his best argument
for a strike in the increasing profits of cap
ital.
Reasons such as these cannot be ignored
in estimating the distant future, but it is
the more immediate future that Wall
street is now concerned about. While the
situation presents many natural conditions
of great strength, especially those based
upon the development of our natural re-
sources, which tempt US into being at times
too optimistic, still there are some very sug-
gesSye features which call for prudence.
Although stocks are in strong hands, the
public. whose operations are necessary TO
healthy bull market, have not yet taken
vigorous hold, and the cliques responsible
for recent advances have been encountered
with millions Of stocks sold by foreigners
which they never calculated upon. If Eu-
rope takes back these stocks they will be
much relieved; if not they will have more
TO sell In either event they have large
undertaking before them to induce the pub
lie to take their stocks at the higher range
of values. Circumstances, however, favor
them IN many ways, and when the unload
ing process starts in we may expect some
lively and erratic moves

Co1lapse ola New Yeri, saIt TrDst

New YORK, March THE salt market
has gone to pieces, as the result OF the COL
lapse of the western New York combine
The price of salt is tumbling, and there
seems to be no bottom to it. Dairy salt is
down 40 per cent, and common salt is 30 per
cent lower than on January l. The salt
market is practically controlled by these
western New York concerns, when they act
together, and although the central New
York companies, at Syracuse and other
points were not included in the trust, their
business is affected Just as much as if they
were in the present controversy
The agreement has been in force for sew
eral years and was limited to January l,
1892 It was not thought that there would
be any difficulty about renewing the ar
rangement until the representatives of the
companies got together, when it appeared
that they did not agree, some of them
favoring Strengthening of the trust by
more rigid arrangements and others lean
ing the other way. Therefore the whole
business fell through with the present
result.

been incorporated at Trenton, n. j., with
capital stock of s., O0O,0 600. The business
Of the company is to own rice plantations,
divert streams, erect elevators and mills

opinion IS that the company is nothing less
than a rice trust. The principal incorpora-

Reports to the leading grain men of Kan
Sis City from their country co rresp ondents
IN all sections OF Kansas report that the
outlook for wheat is excellent in every par
tlcular. II is declared that fall-pIanted
wheat never looked more promising at this
season than it does now. The plant is
hardy, well up. but not too far advanced.
The recent copious and general rains have
done 1t great good, and it is in excellent
condition TO pass through the present cold
weather without injury
One of the significant movements of the
times, illustrating law of development in
business, is seen in the consolidation fthe
coal interests Of the Colorado coal and iron
company aud the Colorado fuel company of
that state, which are just brought under
one management. They are the two largest
corporations in the state, and excepting the
Ignite coal miners of Northern Colorado,
they control practically all the states coal
ana coke product. An effort is now being
made TO consolidate the Ignite mines.
When this is done the coal product of Colo
RADIO will be in the hands of two corpora

LONDON, July 25.-Immediately upon the re-

news Of the shooting Of Mr.. H. C. Prick, chair
man Of the Carnegie Steel Company, efforts
were made TO get into communication with
Mr.. Carne gle, who il now in Scotland, in order
to obtain a statement from him in regard to the
attack upon Mr.. Prick, but this was impossible
as Mr.. Carnegie il ensoonsed ct RAnnoch Lodge,
railway station to which is thirty-fve miles
distant. He has taken all possible precautions
to prevent any person from obtaining access
to him, and has positively refused to answer
any telegram or letters connected in any way
With affairs at Homestead.
Mr.. Carnegie has preserved the same silence
toward all. The members of the American
legation here and other persons in London
with whom he 10 usually In Communication have
not heard q word from him since the be-
ginning Of the troubles at Homestead. The

day, at which q resolution was adopted
strongly condemning the course of Mr..
Carnegie Ia regard to the Homestead

Mr.. Carnegie insult British workmen by further

hoped that they would show their detsstation of
him by contemptuoualy refusing to accept any
