These two statements for last year
with those of Pennsylvania, Southern
Railway, st. Paul, Atchison, Burlington
and Rock Island for September. recen ly
issued, and that of the St Paul issued
yesterday, showing The gross earnings for
the fourth week of October, are certainly
as brilliant showing as could be desii ed.
They demonstrate that the railways of
the country are and have been imme nscly
prosperous. and they foretell for the fu-
ture, very plainly, a continuance OF this
prosperity. They are very differt mt from
what the bears would have had people
expect. The Rock Island September state
ment was given out yesterday, imme-
diately before the close. 1t completes
the September statements OF the gran
gers. and shows small decrease in net
earnings. With this one exception, in
creases have been made by the entire
group. II will be remembered that it was
to the grangers that the bears chiefly
looked for disheartening news, owing 10
the smaller wheat crop. The decrease in
net for the month was $500. On
the other hand, the gross earnings If
the St. Paul for the last week of October
were the best of the new fiscal year The
total was 81 1870. an increase of s173,-
1873 The total gross earnings sor the
first four months Of the year was $14.-
S22,3l2, an increase of s707,276. The
grangers were among the most buoyant
stocks on the list during the October
boom. and since the advance they have
held their own remarkably well. The
group is locked on with favor by con-
servative investors, and Atchison pre-
ferred especially is considered to have q
fine future before it.

The present business of the steel trusts
and the fine promise of Improvement
make the outlook for their securities
quite as promising as that of the railway
stocks. Every report that has gotten out
recently regarding these companies has
been Of increasing business and large
profits, which ensures earnings far in ex-
cess of dividend requirements. Yesterday
it was stated by an officer of the Federal
Steel Company for instance that the sur
rlus after all charges for the year to
September / was at least sI3.000,000. The
trade reviews yesterday all made rar-
ticular reference to the Improvement in
the steel and iron business. The steel Sc
curities have been held back somewhat by
the Wall Street fear of Democratic sue
cess and of the attitude of Mr.. Bryan to-
ward the trusts. 1t is not to be expected,
however. that any decline in these stocks
in the event of the defeat of Mr. McKin
ley would be more than temporary one.
The traction securities are expected to
have boom after the election no matter
who wins. Their business is increasing
and intrinsic reasons aSa plentiful why
they should advance. but in addition there
is the belief that Tammany is buying the

case of manipulation as the street has
seen for a long time. There is plenti-
full supply of money in the country fer the
use of the bankers. and the spectators,
too. 4 large amount reached this side
last week from Europe. and more from
Australia and the K!ondike. Rates have
been lower than ever before this autumn
and it is entirely probable that they will
be reasonable during the remainder of the
year. The Normsers. who made mis-
take i'll going short Of the market Q week
OF two ago. and wished to cover their
shorts this week. called il all their loans
and refused to lend their money out again
except with so per cent margins. They
alone did much 10 advance the call loan
rate 20 90 per cent for the few minutes
that it renamed at that figure.
The bank statement was not nearly so
good as was expected. and for this reason.
perhaps, it should be considered bad but
as matter OF fact there is very little
change in the position of the banks. The
figures are not easy to understand. There
Is a loss of cash and loss of surplus re-
serve. although the general expectation
had been that both these items would be
increased. The figures of the statement
are as follows:

The figures given below show the clos
ing prices of the important securities yes
terday and on Saturday. October 13. and
Saturday. October 20. The prices of Oc-
tober 20 were not far from the top of the
advance. In most cases there was small
further boom during the following day or
two. 1t will be seen that the decline
since the top represents only the last
point or two. Prices are now as high or
higher than they were on October &c. 1t
is believed by many careful market people
that this advance is to be a permanent
one and that no decline Immediately after
election will wipe any great part Of it
out. If this proves TO be the case the
boom OF the autumn and winter of 1900
will date from about the beginning of Oc-
tober. What the level will be at the end
of the quarter is interesting problem. |
