FINANCIAL REVIEW.

Reported for the LIGHT by Henry Clews
& Co.
New YORK, May 2l.-During the
past week, Wall street has had an
other squirt Of realizing, in which
London also has joined, and with
the effect Of a general decline in
prices, especially in the lower
priced stocks. And yet the effect
has not been dispiriting, nor such
as to cause any lack of confidence
in the future. The past realizings
seem to have followed the mere
idea that, when prices show con-
siderable advance, it is the safest
policy to pocket profits. And yet,
after these successive sellings-out,
there has each time been a renewal
of eager buying; nor does it seem
likely that the sales of the past
week will prove to be an exception
to that rule.
Tho market has some remark
able features which do not seem to
be generally understood. Few OF
those who have been buyers have
had any very decided idea why
prices should have risen as much
as they have; and to most it has
been matter Of surprise that quo
tations should so promptly take a
higher bound after each turn OF
realizing. Judging from mere or
binary reasonings, some are now
disposed to think that a resting
point has been reached, at which
the market should be tested and
observations prudently taken OF
the coming financial weather. And
yet it is more than likely that, in
spite Of themselves, these same
cautious observers will soon find
themselves again buying.
There are unseen forces behind
the market, which few understand
and the force of which still fewer
appreciate. Those forces started
the movement when 1t was little
expected; they have carried Ii for.
ward with unexpected momentum ;
they have scarcely been suspected
by the most sanguine "bulls;" and
venture to predict it will be
found that they have not yet ex.
hausted their energy. These in.
fluences began to show their effects
three months ago, and were usher,
ed in by the operations of the Loan
Syndicate. They are not, however
to be attributed wholly, nor even
principally, to that negotiation,
The Syndicate really did little
more than prepare the way for the

ly existing, but which had been
held in restraint by the deranged
condition OF the Treasury finances
and the consequent misgivings
about the currency. Nor has this
remarkable revival been so largely
attributable as many have sup.
posed to the abatement of doubts
about our ability to ward of the
silver dangers. That has had an
important influence undoubtedly
and yet its effect has been but
secondary. The real causes lie
deeper. To find those causes, we
must go back to the conditions

CONTRIBUTED SCRAPS.

Written for the LIGHT.
The business men of Kansas,
City pay the railroad a bonus to
give cheap excursion rates every
week to that city, for an hundred
miles in all directions.
This plan has paid the business
men Of Kansas City, since it has.
given it a good country trade, that
it would not have otherwise en-
joyed.
This plan deserves to be adopted
by the business men of San An
tonin, as it would double their
trade. Cheap excursion rates.
would induce people an hundred
miles away, to come to San An.
tonic to do their trading.
The railroads would make.
money by giving cheap excursion
rates. They always derive a bene-
fit from such excursions, as they
stimulate travelling.
Excursion rates from Houston
to San Antonio would induce thou
sands OF those attending the Con-
federate reunion to visit San An
tonic.
Our business men must wakel
up and work to increase and ext
tend their trade by means of ex-
cursions from the surroundings
towns on their railroad lines.
Cheap rates of fare will induce peo-
pie to come here, who could notI
but for the reduced rates OF
fare.
Our business men might paw
each railroad specified bonus for
each excursion, as an inducement
to the several roads to give cheap
excursion rates.
These excursions might come
from Austin, Luling, Yoakum
Beeville, Cotulla, Uvalde and Ker
vile, and all intermediate points

ations show that we are in the be-
ginnings of a movement in rail-
road investments of a new and
special nature, the magnitude of
which it is not easy to forecast,
but which seems to have by no
means reached its elimination.
In view OF these facts and indica-
tions, we conclude that the up
ward movement in prices has not
yet reached its climax, and that
1895 is likely to prove an extraor-
binary year in railroad invest
ments.
The foreign demand for our Sc
curities has shown no abatement
during the past week. About $10,-
100000 have been placed in London
and Germany, including 100000
of the treasury stock Of the New
York Central Railroad. In all and
including the United States loan,
the amount of our securities taken
in Europe since the middle of
February last is close upon $780,
100000.

It is not the work of the state or
the municipality to make people
either moral or religious. The
real duty OF these governments is
to preserve the peace and protect
the property of the citizens. 1t has
nothing legitimate to do beyond
this, and its restraints are only for
the purpose of seeing that the idle
and vicious do not prey upon the
industrious and the law abiding,
ana that they do not disturb
the peaceable citizen while they
prey on one another. To step be-
yond these bounds and pass laws
regulating morals, or to prescribe
laws for personal conduct, is ar
abuse of the prerogative that IL
lawfully theirs.

since 1892 in this country and since
1890 in Europe.
That depression was the result
mainly of universal over-produc-
ton. The over-production was the
consequence of a large excess Of
producing plant, growing out Of
the progress of modern invention.
The over supply Of machinery has
been so universal and so great that
the capacity for production still
largely exceeds the possibilities Of
consumption. Industrial invest
ments, except in the case Of few
monopolies, are consequently earn
ing almost nothing; and from that
two important results follow-in
the first place, an unprecedentedly
low rate of interest on industrial
capital and, in the. next place, the
withholding Of new capital from
industrial employment. These re-
suits involve the further conse-
quences Of establishing a reduction
in the market rate Of interest
which may quite possibly be long
continued; and investment is be-
ing diverted to securities which
are exempt from the evil of over
supply. Such exemption is found
almost alone in railroad securities.
There has been quite a furore in
London on African gold mining
stocks; but that excitement has
exhausted itself, and nothing re.
mains, either for speculative or in
vestment purposes, except the
long-neglected railroad issues Of
the United States. Within the
last five years, the yearly construc-
ton OF new railroad in this coun-
try has averaged barely 5000
miles; while, for the ten previous
years, the yearly increase averaged
7,400 miles. The current rate OF
railroad construction is thus far
below the ratio OF increase in COM
merce. 1t is true that the earn
ings OF the roads have fallen very
low; but 1t is also true that prices
have fallen proportionately, and
also that their receipts are now be-
ginning to show a material in
crease, in sympathy with the re-
covery OF general business.
These facts seem to mark out
railroad securities as form Of in
vestment destined to receive a spe-
cial preference until prices have
reached a point that will bring
their yield to about parity with
that of the investments which are
now suffering in productiveness.
This drift is clearly indicated in
the fact that Europe has, within
the last three months, taken some
$90,000,000 OF our railroad invest
ments alone. That extraordinary
movement cannot be regarded as
merely, or in any important sense,
speculative for the next export of
shares previous to this week has
~robably not exceeded $1,000, 900,
the remainder having been new
tissues OF railroad bonds. The fact
Of Europe having mad Nhese new
Investments, is attributable, in the
first place, to the current prefer
epce for railroad securities prevail
ing there as well as here, and also
10 the fact that the amount ot rail-
ROAD capital In this country is so
immense as to afford the best
source of supply. These consider
