the community Of interest plans. The
hitch which developed out Of the rival
nv of two big interests TO secure Bur
lington & Quincy was chiefly RESPONSE
Bile for the abrupt termination of the
bull market last spring. IL is quite ap-
parent now that the spectacular dem
onstrations in Northern Pacine last
summer had probably more to do with
recent declines than the corn crop fali-
use. President McKinley's death. or
fears of stringent money. IL follows
then that the market is still largely in
ffuenced by this transaction, and that
any solution of the present tangle will
afford very decided relief and stimu-
late renewed manipulation for higher
prices. The indications are that as
soon as this question is settled the
movement towards Capitalization OF
railroad management will receive
fresh impetus. and the effect Of this
upon values 1t Is too early to deter
mine. There is no gainsaying the ad-
yantages of this movement 50 far; not
merely to the owners Of securities but
to shippers and passengers alike who
receive the benefits OF uniform rates
and better and quicker service. SO
long as rates are not pushed too high
it seems likely that the railroads Will
not meet with any severe public crit
icism. One step in consolidation forces
another. and the movement is not like
ly to cease until all the large systems
have control OF the territory they are
best fitted TO serve. While negotia
tions of such vastness and intricacy are
under way we may expect all sorts of
rJfmorS favorable and unfaVOra Die and
when completed these plans will I'M
doubtedly add to the stability and
value CT good railroad properties; but
in the interim we may experience wide
fluctuations and more or less friction
as rival interests play for position.
This may tend to increased activity in
the market and renewed speculation.
1t is well known that big men are car
rying large amounts of stocks which
they are not unwilling to part with at
present prices and their interests lie in
the direction of higher prices.

VIEWS OF HENRY CLEWS.

Special to the Register.
NEW YORK, October 2G.-The stock
market just now presents the interest
ing though not unusual spectacle Of
moving in conflict with natural con-
ditions. and being entirely under the
control Of powerful and able Inanipula-
tons. The investor OF ordinary pfd-
dence thinks that prices are still at u
high level; and thai the slight reaction
from the boom of last spring, while it
may not justify any bear movement. is
certainly not bull argument. 1t should
be borne in mind, however, that the
present situation Is 4 very unusual one
and cannot be measured by usual stand
ards. There has bsen reaction in Ger
tain sections and in certain industries
from causes too familiar to call for
repetition; on the other hand there are
sections of the country and particular
industries which are just feeling the
full effect OF the wave Of prosperity; so
that while it may be receding at some
points it is still progressing at others
causing confusion of results out OF
which it is not easy to form confident
opinions.
The chief indications of recession
have been in the smaller profits of the
industrials, the losses here and there
in our export trade and the damage to
crops from drouth. On the other hand,
the leading industries continue exceed
ingly active and old and new establish
ments are running to their full capac-
ity. The enormous Consumptiye de-
mand for products of all kinds sur
passes the expectations of the most eX.
perienced merchants and manufacturers
and affords the most striking testimony
of the soundness and substantial char
aoter Of the countrys growth. This is
especially true of iron and coal the use
OF which is dependent upon the activity
Of other lines Of industry. There are
no signs CT reaction in these markets;
and it is evident that slight concessions
in values would bring oft a new lot
of orders that are being held back for
just such d contingency. fhe agricul-
tural situation is undoubtedly the most
unfayorable factor observable. but the
harm there is confined to spots, and has
many offsets, so that the injury will he
much less than anticipated in July last.
Farmers are generally prosperous and
out of debt and vel able to meet their
losses. Briefly stated then the agricul-
tural industrial and commercial situa-
ton, while not SO brilliant as a year
ago, is sound and satisfactory; and in
these directions no very strong bear ar
gument can be found.
There being nothing outside of the
market to influence speculation, prices
must naturally be controlled by move
ments more closely connected with
Wall street. This is precisely the case
in the stock market at present Out
side affairs have been about discount
ed and railroad stocks are still chiefly
dominated by the progress or delay in

NEW YORK, October %. 1925 p. n.
The stock market was see-saw to-day
with fluctuations within about two
points. St. Paul and Missouri Pacific
we're the chief features. The trading
in the genera list was on very small
scale. the bank statement was sur
prise in that it showed gain in cash
item where the known movements in
money indicated a loss Of over 5000 900.
The increase in ,oans was expected and
probably resulted from large opera
tions under way in the nigh priced rail
road stocks. The heaYiness OF the steel
stocks puzzled the street and rather
discouraged trading in the industrial
division. The course CI these stocks ex-
cites the greatest surprise because the

different showing in this respect. how
ever, the really large Increase in loans
prevented enthusiasm over the cash
gain. not only because it operated
against an addition to the surplus, but
also because It showed that the dis
