The probability that something unfavor-
able 90 the market might transpire upon
the assembling OF Congress has been am
ply discounted by the decline In prices IN
the last fortnight. We DO not believe that
any legislation Of a detrimental character
will be. or can be- passed at this session.

Present railroad earnings are only rela-
lively bad. and are the result OF condi-
lions past. Future earnings will be bet
