PROGRESSIVE CAPITALISTS.

One of the most marked tendencies of
the day is the realization by capitalists
that union is strength Cooperation has
made, and continues to make, more prog
ress among the giants of finance than in
any other department of life, unless it be
that of the uniication of the interests of
labor. That the formation of immense
corporations is frequently contrary to the
common welfare of the race, it is impos-
sible to deny. Where the end sought by
the massing together of vast sums of
money is strength which shall be able
to cripple competition, and secure monop-
oily, the movement is directly hostile to
public interests. But the formation of the
transatlantic Mortgage and Securities
Trust, Limited reported in our special
dispatches this morning, while it marks
an epoch from the immensity of its scope,
would seem to be innocuous because its
efforts will be diverse and distributed, and
not concentrated to secure despotism in
any particular industry.
There are several features in the under
taking which mark it as different from
most recent investments of English capital
in bulk in this country. The high stand
ing in the financial world of the hackers
on both sides of the Atlantic points to a
sound business basis for the investment
The international nature of the Trust
shows that it is not an attempt of diamond
to cut diamond, and that moneyed English
men have learnt the necessity of utilizing
American knowledge of American affairs
The vastness of the combination, the
variety of its efforts and the ubiquity Of
its interests will make it the subject of
much interested attention If there should
be any attempt to act against the law by
the creation of monopolies, recent events
warrant the assumption that the law will
know what to do and will hesitate less
than it has done in the past.

HIS NERVE Is HIS FORTUNE.
How a Bear Specu!ator Cleared a Million on
Short Wheat

How Bear Specu!ator Cleared a Million on
Short Wheat
Chicago Inter-Ocean.l
Ed Pardridge, the bear speculator, is with
out doubt the heaviest trader on the short
side that the world has ever seen. He is a
persistent bear on wheat and has stayed on
that side when all the rest of the spectators
were bullish and waiting to scare him into
covering his shorts. There have been
times of late when 1t required nerve
and money to stand short, but he had both.
and has been nearer right on the speculative
situation than any other trader, and at the
have been times when his line ran up into
the millions, when an advance of l cent
would mean the loss of fortune. The sit
uation has been such, however, that by hold
ing on things came his way and he got out
all right
The wheat market has suffered of late by
the belief that there is too much wheat in
creased by the publication of the Govern
ment crop report on THURSDAY, showing re-
serves in farmers hands on March OF ILL.,
ooo. ot0 bushels. quantity never before ap-
reached 1884, 900 bushels. Oflate the local

are said to be the foreigners,
and they are beginning to show
Generalization. and the unloading enables
Mr.. Pardridge to cover his shorts at IL big
profit. Every day the past week. since the
price of wheat commenced to decline, Pard-
ridge has lost heavily, but on the breaks he
bought. On Thursday he took in several
million bushels. He admitted yesterday
that he had bought 2, ,000 600 bushels on Fri
day and as much more yesterday.

said. "and have made great killing" .-
"You must have made over $7G0, 900 of late"
ri have made a great deal OF money, more.
than at any other time in my life. guess
the profits will be more and think wheat
will go lower still unless there is damage to
the crop by cold weather."

A NEGATIVE ROAD BILL.

The vitality of the agitation for good
roads is demonstrated by the fact that tn e
New York Legislature has bill before it
for facilitating that work. tits satisfactory
that the necessity of work of this sort is
recognized; but otherwise the bill is a
very good example of what legislation of
this sort ought not to be.
The whole work of building State roads
is to be placed in the hands of commits
sion which will have the pleasure of
spending $40, 600, 900 if the people vote in
favor of loan of that amount. The only
check in the action of this commission is
the professional advice of the State Engi-
neer. The part which local communities
are to have in the work, which should be
largely their own, is to appeal to the
Supreme Court if the line of road selected
by the commission does not suit them.
The State roads are to be built to con-
meet county seats and places of greater
Importance, which, as these points are
usually connected with each other by
railroads, is very nearly what is not
wanted. The measure of negative quail
ties is suggested by the fact that the sum-
maries of the bill contain no intimation Of
a standard of excellence or durability re-
quired on the roads to be constructed un-
der this act Until more complete un-
derstanding of the needs of the. road
question is attained than is revealed by
this act, it would be better to continue the
public discussion and postpone legislative
action
