As the Stocks Upward Fly.

1t is significant thing for the London
Times to publish. as it did yesterday
morning, carefully prepared statement
BY one of its correspondents in this coun-
try giving the encouraging facts regard
ing American railways. These railways
urnish the bulk OF all the American Sc
curtles dealt in London. The facts
given by the Times are familiar enough
on this side of the water-increased trat-
fc following long period OF enforced
economy and yielding increased net
earnings-yet not only are the English
VIGOROUSLY slow in recognizing such
truths, but the Times is slower than the
average Englishman. The publication
of such letter is an act of deliberatlon
in that office, for it involves a decided
change of policy. And as the Times is
a very high authority with the class who
have money to invest-not merely to
gamble wth-the incident is all the
more significant. We may remark, in
passing, that it confirms the view we
took last week as to the further return
of American securities which was pre-
dicted by the governor of the Bank of
England.-New York Times.

A Good Settlement.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The settlement of the tin plate scale
by a compromise between the con
fiicting claims is a satisfactory and
promising solution of one of the pend
ing wages disputes. By this settle
ment 10000 workers are assured of
an advanced rate of wages for the en-
suing year. The dispute was between
the offer of last years rate of wages
by the employers and the demand of
IS per cent advance on last year $
scale by the workers. The compro-
mise gives the men part of the adj
vance demanded, the exact ratio of
the gain being variously stated from
7 to 9 per cent. 1t is thus to be seen
that one of the wages disputes. Of
which calamity howlers attempted to
make capital, has been promptly set
tied with an advance in wages aver
aging about s per cent.
