1t is estimated that the prices of the
leading classes of steel products advanced
IN 1889 more than 100 per cent. These
same classes of goods have declined in
price this year about 80 per cent and al
ready the recovery has begun It will be
seen that there is no particular reason 20
fear that the steel trusts will not continue
to, earn their dividends. Raw materials
nave also gone down in price. The trade
reports are that business is improving all

This statement shows that the banks
are losing money but, on the other
hand, it indicates that they will very
surely be able to lose money for some
time longer without feeling the pinch
greatly. Conservative financial men say
that the worst that need be expected is a
manipulated advance in call money rates
to 3 or per cent, perhaps, which would
not hold for long
The evening times., 1900-09-29

Fears of a poor bank statement, which
proved to be not unfounded, and less
hopeful outlook for the settlement of the
miners strike did not prevent smart Gov
ering by the shorts today, and as a result
there were small advances all over the list
before the close of the short session. Gu
riously enough the gains were nearly all
made after the bank statement appeared
showing a loss OF cash of nearly $7OO0-
eco. The close OF the week leaves the bulls
III much more hopeful frame of mind al
though they do not expect a steady advance
in prices, Of course. They believe that the
low prices of the week will prove to be
the lowest OF the movement and that De-
fore election the level viii be much better
than it Is now. They advise the purchase
of securities on every recession, to hold.
The strike situation while not as good as
it might be is still generally considered in
the Street to have improved during the
week. The business world generally is in
a better frame of mind, improvement show
ing especially in the steel trade. The fear
of stringent money market has been CIV
