the others now owned by the syndicate,
and with the two electric lighting COM
panies, will represent something like S10,-
900 900. exclusive of all improvements al
ready made and to be made.
1t is the intention of the syndicate to
combine the street railroads in one great
system reaching into all parts of the city
and suburbs, and providing for future cleo
tric line connection with Baltimore. The
length of this road will be something over
seventy miles of single tracks or thirty
five miles of double tracks. 1t will be at
least double the length OF the Capital Trac-
ton Company.
The plans Of the syndicate probably have
not been arranged as to details as yet
The future development of these plans and
their announcement will be most interest
ing TO business men. The fusing OF roads
which now lay. up a surplus of, perhaps,
10 or 20 per cent on their capital stock
every year, after paying all fixed charges,
operating expenses, and dividends, with
other roads which have never paid divi-
dend. and making the entire system yield
a good income on the investment of Sl0,-
600. 900 or more, will be beautiful work
for Messrs. Crosby and Stevens
Some suggestion has been made that the
syndicate intends to purchase also the
Washington and Great Falls road. Stilson
Hutchins. who is largely interested in the
road, stated to reporter for The Times
yesterday that there have been no nego-
tiations for the transfer of his line
Gossip on the street has also suggested
that the Washington Gas Company is to be
included in the deal now pending. 1t may
be stated that there Is no truth in these
rumors.
The times., 1899-03-01

The fact that the New York stock mar
ket went of a point to three points yes
terday on an unfounded rumor, quickly
denied. that Admiral Dewey had sunk a
German warship. indicates not that the
rumor was believed, but that people were
rather disposed to sell before the rumor
came out The fact that the market did
not rally to any extent when the story
was positively denied also shows this.
On the whole the suggestiveness OF the
decline should be unpleasant to the bulls.
There has been no better indication OF
lack of faith in the bullishly inclined for
several days The future course of the
market is an interesting problem. but not
one to which any attempt at an answer
NAV be made lightly. For many weeks
politics national and international, have
had little influence on the market, and
market critics are 10th to venture any
predictions, except with wide reserva-
tion for the Philippine situation. II is,
perhaps, true that the majority OF profess
SIGNALS and some Of the market leaders
expect to lower prices before there
is any great advance. Uncertainty regard
ing the Philippine situation is, as they say
with good reason, worse than pretty bad
facts would be. There is noticeable, also
some indication of Il tightening OF money.
The banks have probably had ii in their
power to raise rates considerably for a
snort lliUt, 1T lcdsl utSc ldClS,
in connection with an already well de-
veloped bearish feeling in many quar-
ters, could very readily cause further de-
clines today and during the remainder Of
the week. The market leaders undoubt-
edly could stem any further decline this
morning if they SO desired, but it seems
probable that they might prefer to buy
stocks a few points lower.
While there is undoubtedly this feel
ing of distrust in many quarters it is
also certain that there will be good buying
this morning and at any further reces-
sion, on the theory that prices will not
be likely to go much lower after the good
declines that already have been made.
Buying OF this kind, II done with discre-
tion wins great deal oftener than buying
on rapidly advancing market AS an
example OF this IL is not To. be doubted
that Atchison preferred will be taken
by good people. 1t will be remembered

that in the former break of this
stock the hardest kind of pounding did not
suffice to send the price down more than
five or six points. The advance which fol-
lowed was to new high figure, 67, two
points above the previous high. And now,
during the present slump, the decline has
been nearly as great as the one before.
The tendency of Atchison preferred is up
ward, and will continue to be until the
stock is as high comparatively as others

so. The January earnings of the road are

st. Paul seems to be another stock
worthy of careful consideration by people
who believe in ultimately higher prices
this year and desire to buy on recessions.
Despite one of the best earnings state
ments ever issued by an American rail-
road, showing almost the certainty of u
per cent earned on the common stock this
year, st. Paul has declined nearly four
points from the high price of a few days
ago. And this in the face of the fact that
the stock is fifteen points behind that of
Burlington, while the latter road is earn
ing less money. ST. Paul may undoubted-
ly go lower, but it will not go far, if the
opinions of the shrewdest people in the
