Despite denials it certainly looks as
though the Pennsylvania Railroad has
purchased a substantial interest in Nor
folk and Western stocks Whether Penn
sylvaHia has acted alone in the matter or
jointly with Vanderbilt interests remains
TO be seen. The result. however. will be
the election 10 the Norfolk and Western
board OF a representative Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. as in the case Of the Bal
timore and Ohio. Il is understood that
the advent Of Pennsylvania In Norfolk is
entirely welcome to the management OF
that property. Pennsylvania will not con-
troll Norfolk through a majority owner

factor in Norfolk's affairs. Quite apart
from all this however. Norfolk and West

Nobody doubts that Norfolk will show
per cent on the common for the year, and
nobody will claim that a railroad stock on
which 4 per cent is being earned is dear

the great granger roads have earned less
than per cent, and have been considered
cheap and proved to be cheap in the 1O's.

The Financial Chronicle" Of last week
has a comprehensive table OF new ind s.
trial companies formed in the year 1899.
The capitalization Of these new companies
aggregates 81. 593. $4,000 This is divided
as follows: Common stock, S2,2S5. 500, O00;
preferred stock $S99 rs. coo; bonds 1926, -
$50 900. In addition. the American TObac-
co Company increased its capital from
S21 600 coo to ST.. coo, the Continental
Tobacco Company from SO coo. eco to $780,
COO 600, and the Lackawanna Iron and steel
Company from s3.750,OOO TO S25.OO0. 100.
These are the figures that explain if they
do not warrant the Comparative apathy of
the speculative world over the steel and
iron securities. The newspapers few
months ago were full Of warnings that this
immense capitalization would result in ruin
for the companies and that in addition it
must prevent any upward movement in the
general market II has been seen that the
general market is able to take care OF it,
self and with the proven fact that the
steel companies can and do earn immense
dividends on their capitalization ii would
seem that the time is about az hand when
this group also will begin to improve in a
radical way. On what are intrinsic values
based if not on earnings and diyidcn's and
the promise for the future? The intrinsic
values are present and the market values
will approach TO that standard slowly OF
rapidly ar the market may favor.

The minister also brought a dispatch

give no Indication of 4 purpose on the part
Of the Royal family 70 return TO Pek.!i,
although there is reason to believe that
efforts continue TO BE made TO Induce the
Emperor to return 10 the capital.
In The absence Of official details those
in authority are III doubt as TO whether
the Russian move is designed to insure
occupation of Manchura or is only another
move in the pacific tendencies which the
Cars Government has given expression
tc.
AS to Russian designs on dancsluria, it
is being recalled that in the Russlan note
ct August 2S the Government specifically
stated:
Russia will nor fail to Withdraw her
troops from within the boundaries of The
adjacent Empire, provided, however. that
the action of other Powers stall not stand
Il the way.
1t IS question, however, whether the
present aggressive course OF Germany in

There is a strong impression III oflicia!
quarters that the entire trend of Russia
is toward the ultimate acquisition of Man
