realize that per cent preferred railway
stocks are not to be had often for S12
share. The return on the investment made
at this price is more than z per cent,
which, with call money at "a and time
loans at and 4, must be considered very
good There has been some talk among
the bears because they can think OF moth
ing else to say over the large reductions
in operating expenses on the Atchison dur
ing the past year. II Is suggested that
sufficient money has not been expended
for the proper maintenance or the system.
This is simply untrue. The expenditures
out of earnings for maintenance have been
liberal The figures show that large sums
have, in addition. been expended out OF
earnings for improvements that might very
properly have been charged to capital ae-
count The company has earned above ac-
tual operating expenses at least per cent
on preferred and 5 per cent on common
stock. Nothing short of a revolution in
business should now endanger the pre-
ferred dividend. What is to be locked for
is fine winter wheat crop and continued
handsome increases in earnings for sor,o

The total income for the year was s23.-

much bearishness among the professionals
regarding Burlington. which it is said is
selling entirely too high, compared with
St Paul and Rock Island. The stock may
decline. but 1t should not be forgotten
that there have been hints from excellent
sources that the Union Pacific Northwest
crowd is buying the stock. There are ex-
cellent reasons why these lines should
desire to have an important voice in the
affairs of Burlington. The company has
seemed inclined recently to push west

London was a rather heavy seller OF
American securities all day yesterday, the
total balance probably being at least 30,
900. Some OF the sales represented liquida-
ton and some undoubtedly business on
the short side for New York houses. The
legitimate selling in London was owing to
the situation in China, which, rightly or
wrongly, the foreign markets seem to con-
Glder a very grave one. Its effect more
than onset the news of the occupation OF
Pretoria. On this side, from the opening
o. the market, speculation followed the
lead OF London. The market was profess
gfonal almost entirely, and the profes-
sionals have all turned bears on the theory
that 1.-THE good news is all out and the
public have refused to come into the mar
ket. The only strong feature OF the situa-
ton technically is the very apparent fact
that the real holders Of securities refuse
to sell, and probably Will continue to do SO.
The outlook is uncertain, but not bad in
any event, for holders OF securities and
Spectators are amply protected. Probably
q continuation OF the professional see-saw
market should be looked for at present
with a tendency toward higher Level
rather than q lower. News on this side Is
good. Congress has adjourned. There has
been no antitrust legislation. Earnings,
both railway and Industrial continue ex-
cellent In almost every case. Money will
remain aDundant linportallons Oh Soi0 are
likely in the near future. The Atchison
dividend has been declared, and the North
ern Pacific common stock dividend will be
shortly. Reports from the iron trade are
encouraging. Purchases on the declines of
the international securities and the steel
and iron stocks are to be advised.
The losses in the international group
were naturally most important yesterday,
owing to the London selling. Atchison
was sold 20 the extent of 1900 shares on
the other side. and the bears attacked 1t in
New York as we'll The decline from

den production does not keep pace by any
means with the steady increase Of popu-
lation. and only by diverting the capital
and labor which now furthers commerce
and trade in Germany, TO the farms and
fields, can Germany's future food sup
ply of the country be assured. But the
task Of turning back the young men or
the rural districts who have migrated to
the cities and caught the fever of trade
and trains. TO the drudgsry Of farm life,
would be difficult one indeed, as would
also be that of attracting TO agricultural
pursuits the capital that now earns such
abundant profits from industry and trade.
In conclusion, the census states that the
legislation enacted this year in regard TO
the increase of the food supply will have
a potent influence in shaping the economic
history of Germany for years TO come.
TURKEYS ANTI-PORK DECREE
No response has yet been received at
Washington from the Turkish govern
ment to the strong protest lodged by the
American charge at Constantinople, by
direction Of the state department, against
the proposed decree excluding American
pork from importation into Turkey, and
It IS not known by the department
whether or not the decree VIII actually
be executed. Meanwhile the department
Of agriculture is preparing an elaborate
presentation Of the reasons why Ameri-
can pork should not be attacked IN this
fashion and il probably will be the pur-
pose 70 make the defense Of our meat
products, as embodied in this state
ment, sufficiently comprehensive to meet
not only this proposed Turkish decree.
but like hostile orders and enactments
by other European governments.

The quality yesterday was very poor.
There was nothing but common hogs in,

PAST. Taking it as a whole, the quality
was the poorest Of the week, which at
10 time was better than average.
The receipts yesterday were light only
1,C90 hogs coming in. A week ago the
receipts amounted to 1,400. There was
only a fair run Of wagon hogs in, which

before the usual closing hour. a few
cars Of hogs arrived, however after the
