The steel Concentration.

Journal of Commerce.
1t is not surprising TO learn that the
policy of the Steel Corporation is to en-
centrate its manufacturing operations.
Nor is it adverse to the public interest,"
The public has general interest n
having production carried on as econ
omically and efficiently as possible; Il
the scattered Establishments are not to
compete with each other their separate
maintenance is of no general import
ance- OF course the closing of the
smaller works will paralyze the small
communities where they have been OPP
Grating, but, other things being the
same, the concentration will be rather
favorable than the reverse to the coun-
try as whole But it will put an end to
one of the most plausible of the argu-
ments offered for combinations OF own
ership. In the beginning the promoters
we're e little shy of local hostility, and
they were very ready to explain that
they were going to economic on costs
of transportation; ley were going to
keep the scattered concerns in opera
tion and to give to each the work near
est to it, so that there would be the
minimum of hauling. Now that the
consolidation of ownership is effected
the opposite policy is to be applied;
distribution of products will be from
fewer centers, and there will be more
transportation than before, but the
economies of concentrated production
will be secured-if everything goes
well.

steadier coree Market.

NEW YORK, May 11.-The Journal
OF Commerce says to-day.
During the past fortnight the coffee
market mas shown fairly good under
tone, and there has been a fractional
advance in prices from the bottom fis-
ures touched
The steadiness of the market has been
based largely on the receipt of advices
from Brazil, intimating that the move
ment of the new crop will not be as
early as had been generally expected,
and one firm made lower estimate OF
the probable yield of the coming Santos
crop, their figures being $500, 900 bags.
The mere fact that one firm made a
lower estimate, coupled with the ad-
vices received saying that the crop
movement will be later than expected,
and also some vague reports Of loss in
weight by empty and hollow trade. has
had q tendency to lead some OF the
trade to look for reduced crop estimates
later ia The season. There has been,

Country People with Them.

A Chicago dispatch says: ''Phil-
lips and the operators who are running
the heavy speculation in corn have the
country people with them. Phillips tells
them that they are the ones who give
out reports as to the condition of sup
plies, and that they should be willing to
stand by their reports. 1t is this that
makes him so popular with them, and
they believe in him and he in them.
1t is the first time in many years LAT
the western farmers have been able to
run successful 'bull deal" The high
price is not attracting corn here as rap
idly as expected Phillips is confident
he will not have to pay for over ten
million bushels or seven millions, in adj
dition to his present cash holdings
There is speculative craze ror corn and
oats, with everyone buying corn, from
the farmer to the country banker. They
have made money, and, ignoring legnl-
mate methods, are going it wild They
are here in large numbers and appar-
emily letting things at home look after
themselves. Taken in connection with
the extended speculation in the stock
market, there has never been such a
speculative feeling here before

Trust Company Problem.

Journal of Commerce.
Pittsburg banks will have the sympa-
thy of banks in this city in their alarm
over the creation of twenty-six trust
companies since last fall, with an aggre-
gate capitalization of nearly six mill
dions, and more trust companies form
ing. These Pittsburg trust companies
appear to have been used in the float
ing of industrial combinations. The
older trust companies are said to have
doubled their capitals, sold the shares
at high prices and stored away great
sums of money, which the banks would
like to supply for the usual considera-
ton. The trust companies are drawing
deposits by offering high rates of in
terest, and by offering installment mort
cages in sums of one thousand dollars
and over they are drawing funds away
from savings banks and loan associa-
tions. The probability is that in the
evolution of banking the time has come
for the differentiation of banking es-
Establishments, the lines of demarcation
between, banks and trust companies be-
ing more clearly drawn, and different
classes of financial institutions being
created to serve different needs of the
community.

A dispatch to the Register from
Philadelphia states that the Evening
Telegraph of that city stated yesterday
that the organization Of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad has been virtually de-
termined upon, and that the oficial
announcement will be made within the
next few days.
The Telegraph stated that the new
president of the B. & O. will be L. F.
Loree, who has been and is at present
fourth vice president OF the Pennsyl-
vania Company, and general manager
Of the Pennsylvania lines west OF Pitts
burg. ]. c. Stuart is given by the
same authority as the new general sup
erintendent of LIE entire Baltimore &
Ohio lines. Mr. Stuart is at present
general superintendent of the Middle
and Northeastern division of the Bal
timore & Ohio.
This news will not be very gratifying
the friends of Genl. Supt. Thomas Fitz-
gerald in Wheeling and in this section.
The shipping interests have been urg-
ing his selection as general manager,
and the press cities along the line OF
the road have said many complimentary
things about Mr.. Fitzgerald. If the
Evening Telegraph story is correct Mr..
Fitzgerald will not be chosen as general
manager.
The Telegram adds:
Such an arrangement will place the
Baltimore & Ohio under the entire con-
troll of the Pennsylvania railroad. lhe
latter is already represented in the di-
rectorate of the Baltimore & Ohio by
four of it's own people, and with Mr..
Loree as the president its interests
would be all the more strongly cement
ed
While no official announcement has
been made of the appointment of Mr..
Loree, the sources of information are
such as to leave no doubt but that this
is the intention of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. AS general manager of the lines
west of Pittsburg he has had excellent
opportunity to study the Pennsylvania s
interests in connection with the Balti-
more & Ohio. 1t is the evident inten-
ton of the Pennsylvania railroad to
build up its freight traffic from the
west to Baltimore, which will give the
company another terminal from which
to ship freight to foreign countries.

The Advance in Prices,

From Dun's Review, May H.
Dum's index number, covering $50
quotations, with quantities taken &C
cording to the per capita consumption,
was 1862 30 on May list, an advance of
&l3.10, or la per cent. during the month
CT April, and IL per cent. compared
with the level of prices on May /, 1900.
THE cost OF living at the present time is
greater than at any recent date, but still
slightly below the month of March,
1908 Considering the ratio of increase
in activity of nearly all Branches OF
trade and manufacture, the extent to
, which labor is employed, and the larger
amount of money in circulation, there
would seem to be no reason to expect
that quotations would now exceed all
previous records. One striking differ
ence, however, comparing the index
number with March 1900, is found in the
metals class, where unreasonable infia-
tion was conspicuous last year. While
prices of iron and steel products are
high, there is sufficient conservatism
to prevent any absurd advance, and con-
seQuently there is less danger of such
a complete collapse as occurred year
ago. Another wide variation is seen in
the clothing division, where both WOOL
en- and cotton goods, with the raw ma
terial in each case, have suffered Sc
we're decline. Footwear was also selling
at exceptional prices, and hides were so
per cent. above the level of January.
1888, when the total of all commodities
was Se99.02, or 3S per cent above pres
ent prices A healthy demand is now
reported for boots and shoes, but no dis
position is shown to force quotations
beyond the safety point. Hence, de-
spite unexampled prosperity in all sec
tons of the United States. the cost of
living, as accurately indicated by this
number, is held down in manner that
shows there is less tendency to excess
sive speculation and accumulation of
goods, and consequently less reason to
fear a repetition of the disastrous set

BIG FOUR MAY BE USED

In Lieu of the short Line From Well
ington to Cleveland.
In connection with the purchase of
the wheeling & Lake Erie road by the
Wabash interests, there was scheme to
establish connection at Cleveland by
building line from that city to Well
ington. The Wabash was to get into
Pittsburg by short line crossing the
river near Steubenville and connecting
with the w. & L. E. about Warrenton.
Negotiations, which are now in pro-
gress, it is believed, will result in the
abandonment Of the scheme to build
the short line from Wellington to
Cleveland tits said that arrangements
will shortly be perfected whereby the
Wheeling & Lake Erie will use the
tracks of the Big Four between the
points named.
