people consider the Pennsylvania stock
one of the best on the railway list at It's
present price. Its advance has been large
and important but not nearly so radlcal
as that of the Western securities And
Pennsylvania stock deserves to sell on
per cent basis more than any Other
stock on the list perhaps. It's earnings
are far in excess of the dividend require
ments, and they are increasing steadily
and with a beautiful regularity. Its divi-
dend record has been excellent.
The tobacco securities have been the
feature of the past week in activity and
strength. The reason for this boom was
not understood by the outsiders at first
and for this reason it has not been partici-
pated in by the public to any extent The
wisdom Of purchasing the stocks after
such Il big advance is much to be cues
toned. Nobody doubts that the Tobacco
Trust is one of the most profitable in the
world. Some people say that it is the
most complete monopoly in this country,
and that its percentage of profit is largest.
1t IS even whispered mat the present Con-
soiidated Tobacco Company plan is really
only carried out in order TO hide-the tre-
mondouS profits of the business and to
divert the attention of legislators and
others from the size of the dividends that
would be declared BY watering the stock
sufficiently il viii be seen that the divi-
dend rate can be continued low and the
insiders at the same time get big returns.
But granting it to be true that the trust
Is prosperous in remarkable way, the
tobacco stocks are much manipulated.
and after such an advance as has occurred
recently a sharp decline is not in the least
impossible. And furthermore with all the
water that is to be injected into the new
company even the finest of prosperity is
perhaps fully represented by the present
price of American Tobacco common and
Continental Tobacco common stocks.
Louisville and Nashville has been strong
this week on the outlook for a larger div
idend disbursement. One story is that
the regular rate will be increased to
per cent and another that there will be
no change in the regular rate, but an ex-
ira dividend of l per cent at the next
dividend period.

the continuance of the heavy surplus of
leXpOrts over imports, the plenty Of money,
the closing of the war in the Philippines,

Careful people that have gone over the
situation are of the opinion that the level
Of prices is even beyond any that would

cent boom In railway securities hinges on
| the vast harmony plans Of the railway
finanCierS. 4 fictitious demand for the
Western railway stocks. and a demand
that ca be only temporary in the nature
of things, has been created. The differ
Cnt factions have been buying the stocks,
not because they were cheap or good in
VestmCuJs, but because they wished to
secure a certain relative position in the
railway field. The prominent spectators
have been buying the same securities be-
cause they realized the competition
among the big parties. As a result, prices
have reached the level where common
stocks are on a and 3i& per cent basis.
No one tuat understands the railway busi-
nesS thoroughly, and has watched il over
the argument that any such level is
sound one. And to the extent that 1t is

Western securities, and in many Of the
Eastern stocks as well. are not likely to
prove profitable. Purchases if made at

small rallies. Even this course is not
without its dangers. St. Paul, Rock ISL

Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, North

are in this category.

As TO the immediate course of the mar
ket there is room for more difference Of
opinion. Many authorities believe that the
insiders wish to continue the boom for
some time longer and that the summer is
likely TO see the level advanced many
points. Others consider the chances all
the other way. The arguments of the lat
ter are rather more plausible. The sum
mer has never been chosen by the big
people for boom in the past. and for a
very good reason. The public and the pro-
feSSiOnSlS are away from Wall Street at
that time. The insiders, too, and even to
a greater extent, are off on their vaca-
tions. The only cause for putting up the
level is that a market may be secured for
stocks at good prices. The summer is not
a good time for this A professional mar
ket with declines more important than
rallies, seems rather more likely than
boom for the next two months Next au-
tumn there may be a resumption of the
bull market until the harmony plan has
been carried out and the insiders have
sold out the stocks that they wish to dis
pose of.

Another official announcement was made

all that the Pennsylvania has said in the

Of a surprise to many people. If Il is true
that the Pennsylvania has no interest in
the Atchison it may be inferred perhaps
that this system does not wish TO 20 west

Henry Clews, in his weekly financial

mony plans:
1t IS hardly necessary to note the hope
fui conditions connected with the crop
prospects. the prosperous condition of
home trade, the abundance of our exports
and the closing of war conditions in the
Philippines. The present range of prices
much more than discounts anything war
ranted by conditions of that charac cter.
The al-ContrOlling factor is the extraor-
olnary railroad situation and especially
the necessity arising therefrom for the
procurement of large masses of stock for
special and transient purpose. Therein
lies the force and direction of the market
1t has created a set Of mOmentary condi-
