HOW THE CLUBS STAND.

The new organization of the National
League is now in good running order, and
is writing upon the pages of baseball his
tory of the record for 1900 The contests up
to date have been devoid OF any unusual
excitement or sensation. The attendance
at the games has exceeded the expecta-
tions of club owners, who are correspond
ingly iubilant, notwithstanding the dark
clouds that are appearing above the base
ball horizon and threatening a storm Of
Indignation that may be fatal to their per-
sonal interests in the near future.
In the games played thus far the Brook
lyns and the Philadelphia have shown up
strong. the latter club winning all three of
the games with Boston with compare
tive ease. The Beaneaters are usually slow
at the beginning, reservlng their resources
for the final run down the home stretch.
The hard fight in the East from present
appearances will be between the Quakers
and Superbas, with Boston and New York
coDtending for second honors. In the
West the Pittsburg and ST. Louis clubs
will occupy the centre of the stage, and
the fight between these two clubs will be
to a hot finish. The Cincinnati and Chi
ond division possibilities.
Objections are being urged all along the
line to the return TO the one umpire sys-
TEN, particularly among the managers and
players. 1t is contended, as the teams are
now so evenly matched, that the contests
are more exciting, requiring the most
scrupulous attention from the umpire to
properly determine a particularly close
play, and that as II is impossible for one
umpire to always be on the spot where
these plays occur, his decisions are often
in error. and frequently unsatisfactory.
Under the espionage of two competent
umpires these evils are of much less fire.

STOCK MARKET GOSSIP.
The Steel Episode as m Influence
on General SpecuIatfon


NEW YORK, April 22.-It is the fashion
for the moment to be entirely pessimistic
regarding the immediate future course of
the stock market owing to the Gates on
slaught against the steel industry and the
securities of the steel companies, and the
resulting depression of the general market
by forced liquidation and the renewed at
lacks of the bears. What the immediate
market will be is a matter of some doubt
1t is not in the least impossible that there
will be declines in many parts Of the list
and at any rate much feverishness and
wider fluctuations. 1t will be well, how
ever, for investors and spectators to ex-
ercise the utmost caution in embarking
on the bear side of the market. Ii is even
probable that purchases of the good rail-
way securities on the dips in prices will
prove more profitable and less worrying
than short sales. And this hopeful view
of the situation does not in the least at
tempt to disguise the fact that there have
been unpleasant revelations regarding the
Steel and Wire Company, and that even
in other quarters iron and steel prices
may have been too high for the best in
terests of the trade. Neither does it over
look the fact that such a campaign as Mr.
Gates has engineered cannot be without
temporary bad effect on the general mar
ket
Several good things are also likely TO be
the result of his work. however. much as
he may have neglected the consideration
of this phase of the situation. The chances
are that the episode in the iron trade
which has engrossed the attention OF the
street for an entire week viii result in the
establishment Of more satisfactory condi-
tions in the industry. The storm which the
chairman Of the American Steel and Wire
Company has brought down upon his own
head may lead to a better understanding
of the trade situation and more healthy
trade conditions than have existed for some
weeks past.
That there is wonderful demand for
iron and steel products. both at home and
abroad, cannot be doubted. If there is
cutting OF prices several dollars ton on
steel and on iron, the margins of profit will
still be immense and entirely adequate TO
show large dividends on the securities of
the best of the new companies like the
Federal Steel and the National Steel con-
Germs
All hope of curtailing Mr.. Gates power
has not yet been given up either There
were some conferences held yesterday by
the opponents of this gentleman, and judg-
ing from the whispers which reached the
outside world there may be efforts made
to bring about changes in the directory in
the near future. OF course the terms of
the charter prevent the turning out of Mr..
Gates before the end of the fiscal year.
but powerful opposition might make his
post an extremely uncomfortable one. The
forces which are arrayed against him arc
preparing for "a show of hands at the
meeting which occurs on May 7.

Bradstreet's railway summary is another
fine commentary on the outlook. 1t is
shown that for the first week Of April the
earnings of seventy-one roads amounted
to $3.50. 619, 1913 per cent larger than in
the same week a year ago, while for the
second week of April forty eight roads re-
port earnings of s6,622, 001 a gain of 11.5
per cent over 1899. Net earnings coming
to hand are likewise very favorable as
shown by the fact that the gross receipts
of III roads for February aggregated near
ly So. eco COO, or 1914 per cent larger than
in 1899. while improved weather conditions
thu year as compared with last are reflect
ed in an aggregate Of net returns of 500,
600, 900. gain OF IS per cent over year
ago, net receipts thus gaining relatively
twice as much as gross returns. In some
sections the gains in net are simply
enormous. those on the trunk lines in Feb
ruary being nearly double those a year
ago, while the Eastern. the Southern, and
the Southwestern systems show smaller
but none the less satisfactory increases.

1t should be remembered in considering
the prospects for the coming week, and
for the remainder of the year in the in
dustrial group of securities, that there has
already been such a selling OF the steel
group as must have wholly discounted envy
thing actually and intrinsically bad in the
iron trade. 1t is possible, and, perhaps,
probable, that there will be a further spec
ulatiye demonstration against these securi-
ties. but on every break many people who
are not carried OFF their feet by the pass
ing waves OF sentiment will buy them
There can be very little doubt for instance
that there will be people willing to take
any risk involved in buying Federal Steel

of public speculation The figures show
plainly, however, that the cause of the
break was that holders of the best OF the
railway securities will not be likely to
-liqudate their holdings TO any important
extent. Some of the pools may be forced
TO let go, as was indicated on Saturday by
the heavy selling of Missouri Pacific. There
will be purchasers of stocks on every

AS for the situation outside OF the steel

guments on the outlook for the export

rates on this side. AS usual this argu-
ment is of course, without foundation.
There may be exports of gold but they

try, and to Wall Street. except in the
most momentary and sentimental way.
Money is over plentiful on this side If

easier and induce again heavy buying of

level of prices. That such gold exports
will not be very large or long continued
