There is again talk of the possibility of
combination among the title insurance
companies, but those interested in the
possible deal refuse to discuss the pros
poets. The fact that there are too many
of the companies for the business to be
done is known to all concerned. and con-
servative stockholders in all the concerns
are unit in recognizing the desirability
Of a union. Up to the present time each
party has seemed to demand too high q
figure and the attempts at deal have
fallen through for this reason.

1t is impossible to foresee what will be
full people look for continuance of the
| advance Indefinitely now. Others predict
that 1t will continue until election week
Many professionals look for break early
this week. What seems to be very nearly
certain is that there will be no bad tum-
Bile in prices and that the advance Of 1900
has begun in earnest, subject to the usual
recessicns on profit taking. The reasons
fer taking this view are many and sound
The railways and the trusts are all
prosperous and 1t is on their prosperity
that the value of market securities is
based. Money will be cheap, according
to the best financial experts. Call loan
rates will continue low. and the borrow
ers Of funds for speculation purposes will
have little trouble for some time to come.
The people have immense sums for in
vestment in stocks. and have been wait
ing a long time to make their purchases.
The big capitalists and corporations al
ready have secured large blocks of stocks
for the boom and will hold them until
the level of prices is much higher than 1t
is at present. The hopeful expressions
that these people are making show, too,
that they are now ready to see the adj
vance begin. If they were DESTROYS to
keep the level down while they accumu-
lated more stocks they would talk gloom
lily Of the outlook as they did all during
the past summer.
There is little new in the financial stu
alton. Several weeks ago the shrewdest
Wall Street people began to predict that
there would be no stringency this au-
tumn. and their view OF the outlook is
now verified. Large sums of gold will be
received in New York this week from Eu-
rope, and the outflow OF money to the IN
terror Will be virtually at an end. Yes

An officer of the Capital Traction Com
pany is authority for the statement that
the company has surplus over the divi-
dend requirement for the first nine months
of the year of $4,000. This is almost
$4,000 a month excess 1t is the belief Of
! this officer that the surplus for the full
year will be about $4,000. Inasmuch as
the stock was put on per cent basis
only short time ago, the showing is con-
sidered most satisfactory one. The divi-
dend now equals $3.50, 900 year instead OF
$500 as formerly. Capital Traction

The Southern Railway securities were
among the steadiest and strongest of the
conservative railway stocks, both making
good advances, on what was shown to be
in large part investment and inside buy
ing. The earnings Of the Southern Rail-
way since July ] have been among the
most satisfactory on the list, showing
every week an increase in gross anc
every month a large increase in net. This
record, taken in connection with the an
nual report OF the company, recently given
out, is making good friends for these Sc
curities in large numbers. The report shows
that the company is not only increasing
its business, but increasing its traffic per
mile steadily. And moreover the increase
is not due simply to the better times in
the South generally. The Southern has
created business for itself by establishing
new enterprises all along its lines
throughout the South. The outlook for
the system is peculiarly good Mr.. Nor

a slow advance until the figures OF the

The local stock market has been quite
as important and interesting in its way
as the New York market. Business has
increased heavily and prices have ad-
vanced in nearly all the active securities
There has been some professional BOOM
ing and some covering Of shorts, but a.so
good buying for investment has been
noticeable. 1t is very certain that local
investors consider the present good
time to buy stocks. One of the brokers
said yesterday that there was more nonej
ready for investment on Street recently
than at any time in the past year OF
more. He predicted that the advances
made recently will be carried further In
several stocks and bonds.
Mergenthaler Linotype has been the
most active issue on the list and also the
most buoyant. The annual statement OF
the company given out during the week
was the best ever published by the COM
pany. 1t was much better than Street
had been led to believe 1t would be by
an industrial clique that went short OK
the stock for some unknown reason. In,
earnings for the year were $l,9lS,0O0, or
only $s1, 900 less than the requirement for
the 10 per cent regular and the l0 per
cent extra dividends for the year. 1nas-
much as these dividends were paid this
year, though the last annual report
showed only $1.G00,00O earned, it would
seem that the talk Of reduction Of the
dividend rate is disposed of fer another
year at least.
