Of employment. The market being In
control Of few hands, prices can be
forced up. Taxation beyond the dream
of the past can be laid by private hands
upon the whole community, the entire
nation. The enormous power Of aggre-
gated capital can corrupt and debauch
our city councils, our legislatures, our
congress- What a revelation of the spirit
OF our modern corporation has been
given in the last few days in the astound-
ing statements of the profits Of the Car
negie company last year and for the pres
ent year. company expecting to make
from $40, 0G0, 900 to $50, COO coo in the current
year on capital Of SIS, 900, 900, to what ex-
tent water we do not know, is asking
the state to tax the whole nation under
the guise of a tariff that 1t may be able
to increase the wages Of It's workingmen.
No more revolving story is told than the
story of the Standard Oil trust. as Henry
D. Floyd has given it. Regulation and
control must be assumed by the state
and pushed forward as fast and as far
as needful. The end of that control Is
not to break down the high organization
of capital, but to safeguard 1t from its
own greed and rapacity, to humanize 1t
and to neutralize it. and, ultimately, to
socialize It. The ultimate outcome of
the trust seems to me what is practical
in the dream Of socialism. -

and SIS, 900, 900 over 1898. The excess OF
exports over imports was however reduc-
ed from about So, 000,e 600 in the two pre-
vicus Januarys to Sal, 1913, 600 last January.
The returns for the expired portion of
the fiscal year continue to run on record
breaking lines. During the last seven
months our exports have amounted to
$4S6, 402, 900, against $3.50, 943 900 the same
time last year A very considerable por-
ton of this increase, it Is gratifying to
note, consists Of American manufactures,
which are competing more and more sue
cessfully with other nations. Our i'm
ports in this period were $500, 10o, 600,
against $749, 900 the year before.
We are inclined to fairly hopeful view
of the market; the British successes in
South Africa, the passage of the currency
bill and the bullish sentiment In the
street ali being in favor thereof Money.
as already said, is likely to become more
active, but not sufficiently to hinder a
moderate buying movement The extraor-
binary earnings of the iron trade, as
developed in the Frick-Carnegie dispute,
are likely to attract attention to the iron
stocks, especially when it Is understood
that this rupture will not disturb the
present satisfactory conditions Of that in
dustry. 1t now looks as If the iron trade
would be run to its full capacity for the
remainder of the year at least. The uses
for iron are extending SO rapidly that
the worlds production Is below consump>
ton. and until the former expands or the
latter contracts there is no likelihood OF
stoppage of present conditions.
We still continue to recommend quick
in-and-out turns for moderate profits
rather than for long holdings.

1.-The Medieval system Of regulating
this business world by great guilt broke
down by its own weight. Then followed
an era in the eighteenth century and the
beginning of the nineteenth century OF
pure individuahsm, Of almost unchecked
competition. This, in turn, Is breaking
down Of its own weight. Labor or
ganizes, capital organizes. Capital is or

Within a few years we have this monster

Great dangers attend this development.
These dangers are plain enough to every

Feb. 1S.-In spite of the excellent war

Despite the high hopes entertained by
the bull element in the wheat market,
there was loss on the prices of that
grain recorded last week. While 1t was
fractional, save at Duluth, the outcome of
the week 9 business was disappointing,
an advance having been confidently look
ed for In fact, all the indications at the
close of the previous week were that
prices would improve. rather than de-
teriorate. Bears were active throughout
the week, and reaped their reward,
though in small measure. Contrary to
expectations the British successes achiev-
ed in South Africa had little effect upon
the American markets, and wheat shared
in the disappointment caused thereby.
The future course of the market is all
guess at present.
Corn has followed wheat to the down.
ward chute, and closed Saturday In
weaker condition than has been shown
by that grain in many weeks.
Oats have cut little figure in dealings.
Prices have ruled about nominal.
STOCKS RATHER SLOW.
The stock market has also been Of the
disappointing sort the past week. Wmie
tho stronger securities have at least held
their own in a general way, yet there mas
