THE DECLINE IN STOCKS.
Wall Street Banker Who Thinks the Bear
Movement Has Been Overdown.

In their financial letter, issued July
goth, Haight & Freese Co., of New
York, have this to say concerning the
recent decline in railway stocks on ac-
count of bad crop reports.
1.-The declines of the past week more
than discount the actual situation, adj
hitting all the calamtous reports to
be actually true. AS rule, reports are
always alarmingly exaggerated, in the
zealousness of the bears to break the
market as far as possible, in the pur-
suit of speculative profits. Ten years
ago the destruction of crop was a
far more serious matter for the crop
carrying railways, and the reason is
as follows:
sIn those days the hauling of the
crops comprised nearly rs per cent of
the roads traffic while today the crop
haul does not comprise 20 per cent. The
upbuilding of the country and it's in
crease of population offer the road
more diversified business. Today they
are like a great department store in
which one or two departments may not
prove money making success. yet the
possible hundred odd other departments
turned into the concern would prove
large profits.
'sAs a proof of the following logic,
we would call your attention to the
fact that last year, with decimated
crop along it's lines, Northern Pacific
made for the year the greatest earnings
in it's history and steadily advanced
from below so to above LIS without COW
ering. A good many people sold their
Northern Pacific below so while others
Uent short owing to crop failure.
