Wilcox ordinance, should move
the people to make extraordinary
efforts for charter reform for this

THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

The stock market irregular on a small
volume Of business Early strength fol-
lowed by reactions and light trading, but at the
close the greater number of issues showed small
net advances. Wall Street was more engrossed
in discussion of the American Steel and Wire
scandal than in speculative operations. and III
every quarter of the Street the tone of this dis
cussion reflected intense indignation against the
men who had used and mismanaged a big cor
poration to further stock market plans Of a
questionable character. Wall Street and the
public will not remain out of the market for any
length of time because of the manipulative tao
tics OF a clique of Chicago gamblers. but 1t is
certain that it will be long period before the
public will trust its money to securities that
have been the playthings of men who evidently
do not recognize the meaning of fair play or
fair speculation. If the American Steel and
Wire Company is rescued at once from the
hands of stock jobbers, there will be reason to
expect a happy future for the concern.
The country's iron and steel business is not
l;oing down hill. There is no unhealthful reac-
ton in any branch of trade and there is no rea-
son for pessimism in Wall Street or elsewhere
The steel stocks will doubtless be without pub
lie support for a time. but the good issues will
not be without substantial owners. First class
industrial concerns whose presidents and drec
tors are not cOnneCteN WIFI edliipieiS NiiduOS
will find favor In investment circles. The best
industrial stocks are selling at bargain prices.
It may be that they will go lower before the
market RECEIVERS from the shock of recent
manipulation but barring a radical change in
trade conditions, these stocks are practically
certain to sell higher. At the moment, how
ever the railroad stocks naturally appeal to In
vestors and spectators more than do the in
dustrais. The industrials, however. are pass
ing through fire and the good ones will come
out unhurt.
Despite the reassuring reports from trade
centres the steel stocks did not manifest ma
terial Improvement yesterday. The American
Steel and Wire scandal rested heavily upon the
steel group, and only the more courageous trad
ers dealt in these securities. Commission houses
were reluctant 10 accept orders for the indus
trials especially American Steel and Wire, eX-
cept upon margins that practically bought the
stocks outright. London not afraid Of the
local market and bought it's specialties in large
amount erbitrage houses taking in all about
% 600 shares The decline of the last few days
has intrenched good stocks in strong hands.
and for technical reasons alone the market
ought TO enjoy a substantial rally. Attractive
railroad issues not likely to cause holders
losses, and especially those issues which have
not enjoyed advance in proportion to the in
crease in their actual worth. American Steel
and Wire issues closed at substantial losses, the
common losing moro than three points and the
preferred four points. Railroad stocks were
generally higher at the close.

CHARACTER OF TRADING.

Public operators were not factors in yesterdays
market. The public has been frightened by the
sad Mr. Gates who thought week ago that the
steel business booming, but who now sees
nothing but depression ahead The public left the
steel stocks alone. but Board Room traders and big
spectators dealt in them. Commission house Duy-
ing not active. and the business transacted
chiefly In the railroad stocks. The traction
shares were weak especially Metropolitan. There
good buying of Missouri Pacific and all the
Southwestern stocks and active demand devei-
oped for Mexican Central. Traders sold the general
list being especially active in American Steel and
Wire. Jacob Field sold 1000 Federal Steel and
Flower & Co bought. The Wormsers bought heav-
lily of American Steel and Wire. London was an
active buyer, taking balance 5000 shares Chi
cago sold the steel stocks. Norfolk and Western
active and touched 40. Housman Co. were
again heavy buyers of this stock st. Paul was
well taken by local and foreign houses. American
Steel and Wire continued to decline on persistent
selling from Chicago and the complete lack Of local
support Sugar firm the greater part of the
day. and railroad stocks generally closed strong.
Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling preferred advanced
three points to 20. This stock has gone up ten
points in days light dealings. 1t Is under
stood that it will be placed upon per cent divi-
dend basis.

REPORTS ABOUT BURLINGTON.

Some selling of the Pacific stocks has been en-
couraged by reports that the Burlington road would
build to the Pacific Coast and disturb the present
harmonious relations between the transcOntinentai
roads. According officers of the Burlington. the
company has no intention of continuing it's line
the Coast and they say that the report is doubt
less due to the fact that the road will this year
run a through passenger train from St. Louis to
Portland by way of the Northern Pacific. Bur-
lngton officers also deny the report that the
pany has sold an additional 81 100000 of ILL.,
nois division 31a per cent bonds. The company has
only issued 100000 of the new 31a per cents this
year, and they put out last February and sold
