Saratoga Track to Change Hands.

1t seems almost certainty that the Sara
toga, N. Y, race track will soon change
owners. The option on the property which
G. Walbaum the president of the Saratoga
Racing Association, gave r. T. Wilson, jr,
expired yesterday, but up to late hour
the deal had not been actually closed.
The syndicate that is negotiating for the
Horse Haven property is composed Of Will
lam c. Whitney, Alfred Featherstone, F. r.
and T. Hitchcock, r. T. Wilson, jr j. H.
Alexandra, John Sanford and Perry Bel
mont.
OF course the deal will be of the greatest
benefit to Saratoga, it will mean open
racing dates for at least three weeks, and
with proper management the meeting would
be one of the best in the east. Horses are
greatly benefited by sojourn at the
Springs, and for many years 1t has been
noticed that horses which are given
preparation at Saratoga more than hold
their own during the fall campaign.

Different Conditions This Year.
The campaign Of 1900. as reflected In the
istics in common with that Of 1896. The
summer of this year was unusually dull
the daily volume Of business frequently
falling below the record for an active hour
but the undertone was strong and politics
was not discussed. The public showed no
sign of lquidating securities and brokers
were said to have been carrying fewer
stocks than usual. In the language Of the
street, securities had gone into strong
hands" The call money rate reached the
legal limit only once, and no boarding of
money was reported IN any quarter.
been discussed. but without apprehension
Certain influential states have been put
In the doubtful column by the two cam
paign committees, but Wall street has not
wayered Four years ago Wall street con-
sidered 3 to 1 fair betting odds. On w ednes-
day of this week to l was quoted as a
fair reflection Of the chances. Unaccount-
able enthusiasm for the rival candidate In
such a pivotal state as New York has
failed to curtail the odds on the present ad-
minis ira ton.
The betting is particularly interesting this
year. inasmuch as the odds are given by
interests already long Of stocks and are
therefore committed to higher prices. Such
a condition precludes hedging to any ex-
tent On the other hand, an opportunity
for hedging on the short end of the bet
does exist. For example. the purchase of
200 shares Of stock for every $1,000 wagered
against 5000, the prevailing odds, requires
only five-point rise to restore the amount
risked, whereas should the wager be won
the stock is margned 25 points. an amount
now regarded as being entirely ample.
Wall Street Confident.
From these facts it is evident that Wall
street is confident Of the future. but 1t Is
Just possible that this confidence exists In
spite of politics. Vested interests must be
protected, and even should Wall street lose
its wagers it is not likely to lose its head
at the same time. Present tranquility
should at least guarantee this. If the mar
ket needs support on Wednesday morning
the vigilance Of the street will have discov-
cred 1t early, and some time between the
closing of the polls and the opening of the
exchange emergency measures will have
been devised.

Chicago is now busying itself on the cal

a government building is under construc-

was begun in 1897. The estimates indicate
that about one-tenth Of the work neces-

Therefore, Chicago lives in hope that 1t

A Panic Four Years Ago.

In view Of its record along these lines the
public very naturally turns to the daily
market reports in order to get Wall street s
point of view upon such an absorbing topic
as a presidential election.
Four years ago the fear of a cheapened
and debased currency forced a panic upon
the stock market. Securities were sold and
the proceeds converted into gold and the
coin boarded. Deposits We're withdrawn
and safe deposit boxes were in unprece-
dented demand. The supply of money for
commercial purposes was rapidly decreased
until a positive strngency prevailed. Bor-
rowers were forced to sacrifice coliaterals
because Of the inability to shift loans or
pay them when called upon. The legal
rate of interest became a memory and call
money loaned from 10 to 49, per cent during
the summer and fall of 1856. In August
of that year the public d!sregarded values
and sold securities for what they would
bring. The day preceding the free silver
demonstration in Madison Square the eX-
IRENE low level was reached. The day
following a rally set in and securities were
repurchased. The recovery continued in
spite of high money until the day of the
elections. From August to November Wall
street employed the time in cautious buy
ing of securities to be sold on the enthus-
iasm of a sound money victory AS a re-
suit of this buying an irregular advance
was recorded from the low level of Au-
gust extending in some instances to so
share

DON OF FUTU RE

Written for The Evening Star.
In discussing the progress and incidents
OF the presidential campaign the attitude
of the security markets has been frequent
ly quoted and the price level from day to
day accepted as a gauge of confidence The
inseparable relationship between politics
and finance and the proverbial timidity OF
capital lend to the stock market air OF
prophecy which many conservative people
accept with the assurance usually accorded
only to the more conventional methods OF
argument. Wall street is not local thor
oughfare. but is the monetary highway
leading through to every center of indus
material prosperity. Wall street is versa
tile, sensitive, sympathetic, and it gauges
it's emotions by dollars added to or sub
tracted from a normal condition designated

the profits to be derived from the trans
portation of coal and iron. 1t computes
the profit in converting raw material into
a marketable product. and twice a year
determines the amount of interest to be
disbursed to security holders and provides
for the unemployment of the sum. Wall
street asks leading questions and draws
accurate conclusions from evasive answers
Wall street listens well in spite of the din
and plans for tomorrow while taking ad-
vantage of knowledge gained yesterday
The present is period in which the future
is discounted. 1t lives always in the shad-
ow of coming events. An accident is re-
garded a necessary condition precedent

AUGUSTUS DEPOT MIDDLE.
Contest of the Railroads Before the
City Council.

Augusta, Jan. 10.-The City Council in a
committee of the whole heard the petit
tons of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad
for the use of certain streets, the right
to condemn certain property and the grant
Of certain other property for yards and
shops, and the petitions of the Southern
Railroad, the Georgia Railroad, the Cen
trail Railroad and the Atlantic Coast Line
for the use of Walker street for union
passenger depot purposes.
Leading officials in several of the roads
and attorneys for both sides were pres
ent and made speeches, and it was nearly
midnight before the session ended. The
square of Walker street which the allied
railroads ask Council to close up, lies be-
tween the present depot and the Harrison
block, which has been purchased by the
Seaboard Air Line for depot purposes and
the use of the entire width of the street
would necessitate the condemnation of a
part of the Harrison block for a new
street.
The Seaboard Air Line claims that this
effort of allied roads to close up the way
to their depot block is for the purpose
of obstructing their coming to Augusta,
and is covert attempt on the part of
the Southern Railway to throttle the COM
petition that threatens it from the Sea-
board
The answer of the other roads is that
they are not antagonizing the coming of
the Seaboard at all, but are simply pro-
ceeding to comply with the demand of the
city that has been made upon them
through the Railroad Commission of Geor-
gia for a new passenger depot; that their
enterprise or scheme, as it is called by the
other side, antedated the purchase of the
Harrison block by the Seaboard, and it
would be just as reasonable for them to
say that the Seaboard is trying to inter
fere with them by purchasing this adjoin-
ing block. They are not at all anxious to
build depot, but are doing so under COM
pulsion, and if the city is not willing to
grant them the facilities to do So they
are willing enough to keep their money
in their pockets.
After hearing all that was desired
to be said on both sides, Council appoint
ed a committee, Garrett of the First ward.
Allen of the Second Barrett of the Third.
Lombard of the Fourth and Elliott of the
Fifth, to further consider the matter in
detail and report back to Council not later
than Saturday.
