STOCK MARKET GOSSIP
Outlook for Ultimately Higher
Prices Excellent.
PcsxibiIity Tint Pool support Mny

Temporary Dccline-BuyinE Prob

way. and Industrinls Prosperous.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-The outlook in
the stock market is as satisfactory as at
any time yet. The factors of chief i'm
pcrtaIce are conducive to higher range
of values. The prosperity of business
continues. Railroad earnings as a whole
show material increases over year ago,
which proves that general business is still
growing. Authorities on ircn and steel
say that the coming year will be one of
great activity and profit in the trade. The
trouble in the anthracite field has been
terminated and huge output of both
counted on. The entire industrial and
commercial situation. in short, is such as
TO be productive of good times.
The movement of stock market values
in the week ended yesterday was not ac-
companied by transfer Of strong hold
ings to weak hands. 1t is indeed true that
heavy realizing sales took place and that
many people who had accumulated Sc
curities at much lower prices were SELL
ers; but the buying, however, was better
than the selling, and in most instances
represented activity by interests who have
great faith and large financial resources
behind them.
The chief owners of stocks at the mo-
ment are not the so-called weak public
traders. 1t does not necessarily follow,
however. that reactions in prices will not
take place. Pool support may be with
drawn at any time. and good buyers may
rest on their oars for awhile, thus afford
ing the trading element an opportunity to
shade prices. The few small spectators
who are in the market are, of course, in
danger, despite the recognized bull ten
dency of the market. Their holdings are
not protected by large margins, and their
confidence in higher prices vanishes the
moment fractional recessions take place.
1t is this kind of spectators that the pro-
fessional element is looking for, but the
fact that the small commission house deal
er is not yet in the market to any extent
makes current bear transactions discourage
ing. The nearness of the election may
check outside buying this week, but the
confidence Of investors in business condi-
lions apparently precludes the possibility
Of an important decline.
The prospect is that there will be an
abundance of money hereafter for speeu-
lative purposes, no matter what proper
items stock market operations attain. The
cutgo Of money to the South and West for
use in handling the crops is practically at
an end. return flow may begin at any
time. The liberal supply of cotton, grain,
and other bills of exchange makes it pos
sible to continue the importation Of gold
from Europe as long and in as great
amounts as may be desired. Taken Alto
gether, anything like pinch in money for
a long time to come appears to be out Of
the question. On the contrary. moderate
rates should prevail for money right along,
for the supply promises to keep in excess
Of the demand.

The Kansas City Southern deal is still
much discussed, and variously described
That there has been deal Of some nature
is now no longer open to doubt. and John
W. Gates seems TO have large part
in II.
According 10 one Wall Street report Mr..
Gates undoubtedly acquired control OF the
Kansas City Southern Railway from the
Hartman interests. That he was acting
simply to increase his own Investment in
that property is not thought likely. 1t
is now reported that Mr.. Gates was really
q middleman n the matter and that the
purchase will involve an important al
lance OF railway interests. Mr.. Gates

and sprang in to forestall the would-be
purchaser, who then had to buy from him.
The profit reputed to have been made by
this prompt action is estimated at from
$4,000 to 100000.
One interesting feature of the case is
that Mr.. Hartman himself is factor in
the New York syndicate, which also in
cludes Kuhn, Loeb & Co., that controls
the Chicago and Alton. Either the Chi
cago and Alton or the Missouri Pacific
could connect with the Kansas City South
ern at Kansas City, from which point it
runs south to Port Arthur. Texas. There
has been an explicit denial by Chicago
and Alton people that they have any in

one OF the policy denials for publication

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Deerfoot, full
blooded Sioux Indian from the West, ar
rived in Brooklyn Friday to renew an
acquaintance with white girl whom he
met when he was in this city last spring
with an Indian village show. He drank
freely and was soon in condition that
made all streets look alike to him. He
did not know the young lady's name or
address, but he was sure of the fact that
she lived in BROOKLYN.
At 2 o'clock yesterday morning Deer
foot took a chance on $50 McDonough
Street, and, ascending to the second floor,
announced his presence with a series of
war whoops. The occupants CT the house
put furniture against their doors and tel
ephoned to the police. The officers ar
rived and arrested Deerfoot. In court he
easily proved his innocence of any evil
intent. and on being released took the
first train for North Dakota.

II will be seen that Notwithstanding the
losses of the last three days OF the week
nearly all issues again show a net gain
for the entire period. Another encourag-
ing feature Of the showing is in the fact
that the business of the week has been
well distributed. In dull periods the most
active twelve stocks on the list usually
absorb considerably more than half the
total transactions.

The reaction in Federal Steel was on
profit taking on the advance. but at the
lower level there has been renewal of the
substantial buying which originally caused
the advance above 40. The company has
received some very substantial orders for
steel rails on the SIG basis, and the Off
cials are confident that following the cleo
ton there will be revival Of activity in
the trade and an advance in prices for both
pig iron and billets. which will reduce the
present large difference between the price
for billets and that for rails.

Sniked His GUNS,

A Memphis gentleman has been try
ing lately to induce his wife to adopt
the habit of drinking glass of wine
at frequent intervals during the day,
says the Memphis Scimitar. She is
inclined to be delicate in health,
though not decided invalid, and her
well-meaning husband fancied the
spirits would strengthen her. She OPP
posed with all woman's 0bstinateness
his suggestion. Perhaps she recalled
when her lord and master had come
home reeling like ship whose cargo
had shifted.
The other day he spoke to her after
this manner:
"You are unreasonable, my dear, not
to drink wine.
Her reply came sharp and pointed:
"Perhaps; but I've noticed that you
are unreasonable when you drink it. J"
