age that poor corn crop will do to the
railways of the West. One of these is
that the business of the lines in general
is much more diversified than ever be-
to the entire freight business of any of
the lines is comparatively small: 1t is
estimated that on the average the corn
hauled by the lines is only about 6 per
cent of their entire freight. Tine other
factor of moment in the situation will
be the new community of interests. If
this plan will do what is hoped of it, il
that might be expected to follow any i'm
portant decrease in the volume of bust
ness.
The Washington times., 1901-07-21

The most important single event of the
week undoubtedly was the announcement
of the success of the harmony negotia-
tions in the West, ensuring for all prac-
teal purposes one great central manage
ment for almost all the railways beyond
the Mississippi If the trust idea is a
good one in business way, if ii restricts
competition, prevents rate cutting, pre-
vents new construction, curtails expenses,
and in general tends to increase gross
business and net receipts, then this COM
munity of interests in the Western rail-
ways may be said to he one of the most
important developments the railway busi-
ness ever saw The plan has been an
alyZed by the shrewdest and most eX-
perienced men in the financial world. and
by the theorists. and the universal belief
is that i. offers great promise of solving
a number of the difficult problems that
have grown up in the business during the
past decade, and of making an era OF
great prosperity for the railways.
There has been a disposition in some
quarters to give as much Importance to
the news of drought in the cotton belt as
to that in the West AS a result the
Southern Railway, Louisville and Nash
Vile, Chesapeake and Ohio. and other
Southern and Southwestern securities,
while not as weak as the grangers in the
recent break. were sold off rather badly
and have not recovered with any great
animation in the subsequent boom. Some
of the experts in railway and financial
matters believe that this view is ill-found-
ed and that these securities will be likely
to make an excellent showing in the
coming year. The cotton crop may be
small, but up to s-certain point this would
be a good thing for the South generally,
ensuring high prices for the staple. 1t is
not yet clear that this point Will be
passed. In any event the era of prosper
ity is we'll established throughout the sec
tion and the railways have obtained
magnificent start which it will be hard
to overcome. In this connection an article
based on statistics from the Textile
World" year book for 1901, published else
Iere in todays Times, is most interest
ing as showing the immense increase in
cotton manufacturing in the South in the
past year. The following figures just
published by Scott & Stringfellow, the
Richmond brokers, are also worthy OF
careful attention:
The Southern States during the past
four years have produced 10 per cent of
the worlds supply of cotton. and the ex-
ports of cotton from the United States
far exceed in value those of any other
product. In the settlement of balances
due by our country abroad our exports of
cotton are Indispensable, for We can only
rely upon the money from our exports of
cotton every year while no other product
of the soil can be depended upon with the
same certainty.
1T is equally interesting to note that
from manufacturing standpoint the
South is forging to the front; e. e.. We
give below a table of the worlds cotton
spindles in 1900 as compared with 1885;
The Washington times., 1901-07-21

During the same period the number of
looms in Southern cotton mills have in
creased 50,600, or 81 per cent, and the
taking of cotton for home consumption
has Increased 746, ,595 bales. or 81 per cent;
consequently the South is beginning to
realize that the raw material can be
manufactured into the finished product
as cheapIy in it's own borders as it can
elsewhere and thus keep at home the
money that heretofore has been sent
away for the purchase of cotton goods"

Government Bonds.

The past week has been a most inter-
esting one in the stock market with much
of news and gossip to influence specula-
ton and many people of importance in
the financial world willing to speculate.
1t has been a somewhat unusual week for
nishes nothing more entertaining than the
small ups and downs of professional
traders market. on the whole il will
probably be agreed by conservative peo-
stances the showing made has been
handsome one. Prices during the early
part of the week, after a sharp decline on
Monday, made excellent and almost SEN
sational advances. There has been some
recession since Thursday, but the net
NOV ement since Monday is nevertheless
strongly in the right direction. This is as
IL 81 ould be, all things considered. and it
may be inferred that careful people have
been fairly well satisfied.

The stock of the Forward Reduction
Company an oil enterprise of Importance,
gives promise of proving a good invest
ment. The company owns and has leases
on some of the best oil lands in Texas
and Louisiana, and 1t has in addition
patented chemical process for reducing
crude oils which has been pronounced
by many experts the superior, long way,
of the mechanical processes now in gen.
eral use 1t is said that the oil properties
of the company alone are worth more
than the entire capita! stock of the COM

The outlook for the Southern Pacific
for the coming year Is most interesting
To certain extent this system Is in
both the corn belt and the cotton belt
and IL might be inferred that ii Will suf-
fer more than nearly any other lines in
the West or South for this reason If both
crops should suffer badly. Undoubtedly
a short corn crop and a failure of cot
ton would be a blow to the system. but
IL is probable that it covers too wide a
territory to be very badly damaged by
the failure of even two such important
crops for one year only. The position of
the company has been wonderfully i'm
proved during the past year In every way.
Large amounts of money have been eX-
pended in betterments and most advan-
tageOus traffic arrangements have been
made with other systems. The Southern
Pacific, too, will be one of the lines to be
most benefited by the stability of rates
to be brought about by the community of
interests. The discovery of oil in Texas
and California will be a factor of in
creasing Importance TO the system. In
the one item of the substitution of oil for
coal as fuel the company will save several
millions Of dollars year. IL is said.

well by the Keene clique and their flUc-

At the beginning of the new fiscal year
three weeks ago the price level was eX-
tremely high and well-informed financial
men pointed out the numerous matters
that suggested a decline of Importance.
Talk of the dry and hot weather in the
West was already heard. The bank state

the outlook financially was poor. There
was the probability of trouble with labor
in various parts of the country. These
things We're not good for a bull market
with high level of prices in July. The
decline came. sharp and decisive. For two
weeks or more prices went off steadily
and a long way. The fear of drought
in the corn belt was realized and the APP
ers proved to be well founded People
that had bought stocks at a very high
level sold them out with bigger or smaller
losses. but almost always with losses or
some kind. There was general liquida-
tion in which some of the most important
interests in the country took part. II was

that time the level of prices has been re-

Meanwhile the corn crop is still In dam

and the strike of the steel workers Is
growing no less serious. A good many
people believe that it will be long drawn

ness interests of the entire country.
With these two serious adverse conditions
