street, National German-American Bank
Co. wire us: "While 1t seems almost a
farce to speak of the rate of money has
AFFECTED the stock market, yet, neverthe-
less, the slight stringency rates has, with
out doubt, checked the buying demand
and caused not a few sales, with quota
lions as at present, and with small mar
gins and Indifferent credit a good many
traders deem it wise to go ashore and
gard this as bear market, but, on the
contrary, we are disposed to buy and con-
tinue buying should stocks go down.
While speculation in certain lines such
as Northern Pacific common, Union Pa
cifc common, Atchison preferred, etc,
has halted, yet improved earnings and
general business prosperity will soon
start them up again after the April mon
ey market is settled. But good dividend
paying stocks are not likely to so down
to to any appreciable extent, and we. think
that purchases of Northwest Burlington
and others of that class will pay well
during 1899. In our Judgment, Northwest
will go as high as Lake Shore has done,
and any one now purchasing it and hold
ing on for future will be splendidly re-
warded Tobacco continues its upward
course, and there has been good buying
Of Metropolitan. We see no reason to
change our views regarding Reading pre-
ferred, nor Steel & Wire, both are cheap
