Inquiries We're received from Salt

Na'eo works and would interfere with
the expected shipment. Inquiry devel-
ops the fact that there has been no
snowslide, and the opinion prevails
here that the story was started in Salt

strong. Whether it affects prices IN
salt Lake or not, it viii not have the
slightest effect here, as the story vas
made out Of whole cloth.

New York, April 4.-Stock trading to-

part of the professionals, tended to pro-
duce recessions, particularly in the active
Specialties, which, of late, have attained
the largest advance. The traffic agree
ment between Third Avenue and Man

of those properties at the opening, Third
Avenue rising and Manhattan g points.
This brought about extensive realizing

bination of the rival companies Talk

strain the Brooklyn Transit from leasing
former rival traction company together
with realizing on Brooklyn Transit's large
advance, caused the stock to ease off 3
points. The iron and steel shares ended
irregularly changed, with Federal Steel
national Paper lost and Chicago Gas 8.
Excepting the coalers, which rose in some
cases materially, the general railway list
showed little changes, the grangers being
to display strength were Rubber, Tin
Plate, Leather preferred, Continental To-
bacco and Long Island the two last
named rising 3 and 4 points respectively.
Call money continued firm and ranged

Indignation I'm England,
CRISIS is
A Policy of Patience Toward the
Beers.


London, Sept. i. - After twenty
four hours Of an apparently acute
crisis, the Transvaal situation has re-
lapsed very much toward the status
of a fortnight ago. and the sands in
the hour-glass which are marking the
lapse of Secretary Chamberlain's
eleventh hour are running with dec
orous and judicial slowness.
Ii the dispatches and editorials APP
pearing lately in the bulk of the
English newspapers had been really
representative of the true condition Of
affairs, England and the Transvaal
would have been fighting two days
ago. A widespread impression pre-
vailed that the cabinet meeting would
bring an ultimatum and a 1T was
generally believed that Gen. Sir Red
vers Henry Butler would depart Cape
wards and that the whole of the
troops warned to be in readiness
would be modified forthwith.
Although the cabinet has not Of
ficially issued and account of its pro-
ceedings, there Is no doubt that it
acted, and acted unanimously, giving
the Transvaal another opportunity OF
satisfying British demands and avoid
ing war. President Kruger mas al
ready stated in the volksraad that he
would be willing to send a committee
to a further conference. and. barring
the chance of hostilities precipitated
by some unauthorized act arising from
the extreme state of tension OF mems
minds in South Africa, the result OF
the conference must be awaited.
London, Sept. 1.-THE cabinet has
decided TO send 10000 troops to South
Africa in addition to the national
force already of 5000 men. OF these
reinforcements 5000 will be sent from
India and 900 from Egypy, a battalion
Of the Northumberland regiment,
which will sail Immediately ships are
ready, and the remainder from the
Mediterranean stations.
London, Sept. 12.-It is understood
that Gen. Sir Redvers Butler will start
for Cape Town next Saturday. Mill
tary authorities are chartering steam
ers to transport troops to South Africa
as rapidly as possible. Although the
aspect of affairs is more peaceable, the
special dispatches from Johannesburg
report the greatest anxiety there. Fiji
teen hundred persons left there yes
terday and 1t is proposed to transfer
the business Of the stock exchange to
Cape Town. The johannesburg III
Gil is appealing to the government to
start relief work to meet the excep-
tional distress.
A dispatch from Blomfontein reports
the distribution Of arms aud consider
able exodus to Cape Colony. Accord
ing to this correspondent the Beers
are massing on the frontiers and there
is no abatement of van preparations
in the Transyaal.

SHANGHAI STATUS OF THE TRUSTS.
Not So Many Outsiders Taken I'm as


Kansas City Star: There appears TO be a hull
At present in the trust movement Few new
trusts have been announced of late. This 10
not because the field has been tharoughiy
worked. for several big combinations have been
pending during the past few weeks with some
obstacle In the way of completing them. That
obstacle appears to be the unwlllingness OF cap
ltalists to furnish the requisite amount OF
money.
20 widely exposed that men OF wealth airs slow
10 take hold Of their projects. When II Is well
known that nearly every trust which has been
organized within the past two years mas peen
capitalized for two or three times the actual
value of the properties included In the comoi-
nation, and that the commissions OF promoters
In many single instances have amounted TO a
fortune. IT is no wonder that conservative cap
italtsts hesitate about having anything farther
to do with such reckless and dangerous nnan-
cierirg.
The truth OF the matter IS that outsiders
that IN to say, persons not directly interested
In the industries involved-havs not taken
much stock in the big trusts. In nearly every
case the securities have been distributed among
the men who owned the various separate con-
Germs which Joined the combine. In cases
whore IT was necessary to pay cash Tor some
plant, the owners Of which were unwilling TO
accept stock and bonds to stay In the trust.
the money has generally been furnished by
those who organized the combine
The general public has but small holdings OF

yidual properties which were consolidated still
own the shares of the trusts. and are likely to
continue to hold them, at least until some years
Of experience have shown just what real value
inheres In the securities. The plan to unload
on the public has not succeeded. The public
has been too wary. A collapse OF trust stocks
would hurt only the men who organized the
trusta and even they would lost only the paper
pronts resulting from the watering OF the stock.
Nearly all the big trusts are organized with
no bonds. Their entire capitalization is In the
form Of stock. This plan has this advantage
that dividends are payable only II earned. II
the companies were heavily bonded failure to
pay interest would result I'm bankruptcy. But
the trusts are in no such danger. because a
failure TO make large profits would result
merely in cutting off dividends without en-
dangsring the solvency OF the company itself.
For this rea son the trusts are not the menace
10 the financial stability OF the country that
many observers feared they would be. limo
oent holders are in no danger OF losing by
them, because there are no innocent holders, or
very few. Trust stock are still in the hards OF
the trust organizers and are likely to remain
khere
