The reports Of net earnings for August
given out during the past week have been
no less gratifying than those of gross earn
ings. Perhaps even they have been more
appreciated and more commented upon, be-
cause they were less expected. Reports of
number of railways already have been
published. That of the Atchison was given
out yesterday. 1t continues the remark
able record OF that company, and 1t does
much to convince conservative market peo-
pie that the securities of this company are
among the most attractive on the list. The
increase in gross for August was s515. 100
and the increase in net s327.S75. The earn
ings of the Atchison last year were nearly
9 per cent on the preferred stock. They
were equal to the full 3 per cent dividend
on the preferred stock and per cent
dividend on the common. Vice President
Morton during the week made the predic-
tion that the system viii earn during the
current year ; per cent on the preferred
and per cent on the common. Ii viii be
seen that this prediction is not without
good foundation. Such result would re-
quire an income of only about 81, 600, GOO
more than that Of last year. During July
and August the increased earnings have
already gone long way toward this The
increase has been much more than the pro-
portion for two months. The outlook for
business during the coming months is en-
tirely satisfactory.

The financial outlook is better than it
has ever been before at this period of the
year. Money is plentiful. and even in New
York, which has been supplying the West
and South for several weeks with funds,
there is a surplus reserve of 81, 0oO, 600.
This surplus is much better than is usual
at this period. Better than this, the pros
pect is that the plenty of money will con-
tinue. The bank statement yesterday
while in itself not a good one, was much
better than had been predicted by the ex-
perts. The loss of cash was less than
81 coo, 600, instead of more than $9,00O,000
as had been expected. The loss in surplus
reserve was less than 1900, 600, instead of

The immediate cause of the reaction
was, of course, the talk Of the prs
poets of an early adjustment of the coal
strike. II is not we'll, however, to at
tempt to assign causes too closely, for
the stock market movements. In this
case there can be no question that the
big people believe prices have gone low
enough and are acting accordingly. The
tumble was. in the first place, a manipu
lated one and the prices reached away
below real values. The market people
very surely would have found some rsa-
son for an advance, from near the price
where IL did begin, whether there had
been an Improvement in the strike situa-
tion or not. L. d. Fowler, the broker,
suggests that Wall Street has decide d
to work for Mckinley by boom from
now until near election time. He says
that there are evidences in plenty that
the word has been passed around TO Luy
stocks. This is most interesting. The
plan of the Republican financial people
at first was that the outlook for McKin-
leys success should cause the boom.
This plan evidently has miscarried. The
next best thing is that boom shall
attempt 10 put life into the Republicans.
The intrinsic reasons why prices sh jUl1
advance more or less rapidly from their
present low level are clear They are
