1T used to be predicted" he said.

Porto Rico Conditions.

The people of Puerto Rico are
showing signs of encouragement at
the failure of Congress to provide a
government for the island. The local
Spanish papers h. We printed many
articles criticising the American gov
ernment and the American people
and policy. The army and navy on
GERS gave ball there on tine even
ing of Washington's Birthday. issuing
invitations to many Puerto Ricans.
The editor of Ell Diario stated in his
paper that he could not accent. He
said he did not feel that he could at
tend American celebrations nor OBJ
serve American holidays until the
American people chose to recognize
the people of Puerto Rico by giving
them a government, and thus lifting
them from the commercial miro from
which they have sunk. The local
papers join In declaring that the pres
ent conditions are worse than during
the darkest days of the Spanish re-
gime.

HOLDS A SECRET
And II Is Worth $50 ooo, 900 In Wall
Street.

Wall street is in the vortex of the
.reatest gamble that has character
aed speculation since the birth of the
stock Exchange. Big operators and
he bucket-shop 'pikers" are all
;ucssing as to the next dividend that
sill be declared on the 36.96S,000 of
common stock of the Sugar Trust.
There is only one man who knows
precisely what is going to happen
st the next meeting of the directors
I the company, and he trusts no one.
That man is Henry O. Havemeyer,
resident of the Sugar Trust The
meeting does not take place until
March 10, and in the next ten days
,ortuucs will be lost and won.
Ii Mr.. Havemeyer so wills the divi-
lend can be passed, and the price
,f the stock will possibly drop 20
Joints. Or he can declare the regular
quarterly dividend of per cent, and
;he stock will jump so or 40 points.
President Havemeyer has been
quoted as saying that the trust made
no money during 1893. During that
year however, it paid in dividends
@7,023,920.
In 1896 the Sugar Trust produced
20 per cent. of the sugar consumed
IN this country. 1t now controls 20
1er cent. of the total production.
These are President Havemeyer's
own figures. The Arbuckles barely
produce 5 per cent. and the indepen-
dent 25 per cent. On this basis when

REPORT ON TRUSTS.
The Industrial Commission Makes
Scn:e recommendations.

Scn:e recommendations.
The Industrial Commission has sub
mitted to Congress preliminary re-
port ON trusts and industrial combina-
tions, together with testimony, review
OF evidence, charts showing effects Of
prices. etc The Commission makes
the following recommendations, based
on such information as it now has:
Promoters and organizers of cor
rorations or industrial combinations
which look to the public to purchase
or deal in their stocks or securities
should be required to furnish full de-
tails in regard to their business neces-
3ary for safe and intelligent invest
ment. Any prospectus which fails to
give this information or which gives
false information should be held le-
gally responsible. The nature of the
business, together with the powers of
the various officers, should be eX.
pressed in the certificate of incorpora-
tion. which should be open to inspec-
ton.
Directors or trustees of corpora
ton, it is said should be required to
report to the members thereof its
financial condition in reasonable de.
tail at least once each year.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. it is declared, should be given
authority not only to prescribe the
methods of keeping accounts of the
railroads and to demand reports in
such detail as it may require, but al.
TO to inspect and audit said accounts.
1t also says the Interstate Com.
merce Commission should be author
lied to make rules for freight trans.
nortation.
The report says that it is difficult
to state accurately the amount of
over-capitalizatiOn of the various com.
binations. The following, however,
gives fair estimate on this point of
the concerns mentioned under the
head of ver-capitalization.
American Sugar Refining Company,
capitalized at twice the amount
(75 900 .0O0l of cost of reconstruction
of plants.
Standard Distilling and Distributing
Company. six times the actual cash
value of the plants.
National Steel Company. double the
value OF plants.
National Biscuit Company, double
the value of plants.
American Steel Hoop Company,
double the value OF plants.
American Steel and Wire Company,
double the value of plants.
International Silver Company, IS
per cent. over-capitalized.
National Shear Company. five times
more than cash value.
The Standard Oil Trust, it will be
a0tcd, is not included in the list of
companies "orercapitalized"
