The important movements in the railway
lie. during the week have been in the
Pacific issues. everything with the name
Pacific" having scored good gains The
clfoues that have been operating in the
Huntington issues. Southern Pacific and
Pacific Mail have been active nearly every
dav though toward the latter part of the
week they gave up Southern Pacific for
I-r:on Pacific common Southern Pacific
went above "a. and made the highest price
in its history by Is point. II closed the
week al 43 3-S. Union Pacific common went
10 so -. also high record. and closed at
a. rs. with a net gain Of more than J
points. Thsre is every reason 10 believe
that both these securities are 10 reach much
higher prices in the near future. 1t may
be stated on The authority of one OF the
chief brokers for the recent most heavy
buyers Of Southern Pacific that its reaction
al this time is not expected TO be more than
a point or two if that and that the inteu-
ton is to advance il a good many points
before the end of the year. The intrinsic
value Of both Union and Southern Pacific is
rot disputed Il is said by people familiar
with the business Of the Union Pacific that
its present earnings are at the rate of
8 per cent on she common stock. The sys-
TEN has greatly increased its earning ca
nacity through its new connections, and the
outlook is that il Will greatly increase its
earnings rather than diminish them. In
a general way. the same may be said of
Southern Pacific.

The advance in the Baltimore and Ohio
issues was somewhat OF surprise to the
greater part OF the street despite the fine
monthly statement Of the company, which
Indicates that the full dividend viii be
earned on the preferred stock, and some
thing between and 8 per cent on the com
mon in addition, Both of these securities
have been practically neglected for many
weeks past, and the clique that executed
the coup IN them this week evidently con-
sidcred the issuance OF the statement to be
an excellent opportunity 10 move them to a
higher level.

The annual election resulted as has been
stated before in the reelection of Presi-
dent Hibbs and the other officers Mr.
Hibbs has been a popular presiding Off
Ger and as was stated by Vice President
Decide at the election meeting, his term
Ct Office has been a notable one for the
ailOunt of business done and the general
prosperity OF the exchange. Mr. Deeble
very gracefully resigned the right 10 the
nomination for president, which would
have been his according 10 the usual Gus
tom, in favor of Mr.. Hibbs.
The largest business of the week was in
Gas stock, OF which about 5000 shares
changed hands. More than 1000 shares
of this amount was sold by cne broker on
Monday to close an account. and. although
the price declined a point under this heavy
realizing, it has regained the entire de-

are at the rate of s. 100. 600 1t is esti-
mated that the actual earnings for the
fiscal year will not fall below 81 800 O00.
Taxes, interest. and rentals will not
amount TO over 81. .O00. Oo0. and the surplus
will thus be S1.5O0 900. The requirement
for the debenture stock is about 5000
which leaves in the neighborhood OF
81 600 900 for the preferred ~ and "B"
issues OF more than enough TO pay their
entire dividends In the past four months
of the year the company has earned suffi-
cient to pay alt of its interest and rental
charges, leaving the earnings Of the next
eight months for the stock. The preferred
stocks are both considered excellent pur-
chases at their present level and it will
be seen that the equity of the common
stock is also 2 very fair speculative propo-

It viii be seen that there have been no
declines during the week. and that the av-
/ erage advances have been three or four
points The railway list has had the most
steady advance, but some OF the indus
trials have shown the largest gains. 1t
is one of the noticeable facts also that the
iron and steel securities have all moved
ahead with somewhat mere spirit than in
ether recent weeks. The Federal Steel
issues in particular have been strong and
at times active. No possible review of the
week can dispute the fact that it has been
an extremely important one TO the bull in
/ terests both in the news developments and
/ in the movement of security prices
| The action of Sugar has been particular
( ~ coed during the week. It has had a net
! advance CT ten points. and has been at all
! times strong and active and very evidently
under the control of the bull faction. The
public watches Sugar with more interest
! than is warranted by the manlpulatlYe ma
ture Of is movements. When the stock
( advances there can be no question that the
public is more inclined toward active op-
! timism than it is by strength even IN the
4 grangers. Ii is extremely fortunate for the
speculative public. therefore, that the sugar
/ people have decided 10 boom their stock
! al this time in harmony with the general
market The truth regarding the sugar
situation is very much in doubt, but there
seems to be very little question that some
deal between the tsust and the independ-
ent refineries is now under active consider
. 8tion. The popular story Is that the trust
is to double its capital stock and pay a
dividend of per cent on The entire amount
The additional capital stock it is said is
to be used in buying up the outside refin-

and severe decline during the early au-
tumn. but the same people are rallying to
its support again now 4 great many
bought il around 30 and sold it around 40.
They are buying it back now. The great
future prospects Of the company lead many
10 forget that its small capitalization makes
the stock easy to manipulate in either di-
rection BY the insiders. It costs money TO
forget in Wall Street. The lambs spend
their time in losing their money over and
over again in the same way because they
cannot remember. There is q very large
probability that Pacific Mail viii be sold
of to much lower than the present prices
before Congress has acted on the subsidy
bill. This statement is made on good au-
thority. This may not occur but buyers
az the present level should have ample mar
gins IL they do not intend TO sell quickly.
one of the interesting railway earnings
statements of the week was that of the
Chicago Great Western for October and
for ne four months Of the fiscal year. The
figures are as follows:
