CUNNING FOR ST. PAUL.
Lambert Mtimates That This 4c-
counts for j. j. Hits Pessimism.
Try TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.


Chicago Dec. 15.-John Lambert. formerly
president of the American Steel and Wire Com
pany, intimates that J. ]. Hills recent utter
ances are evidence of a desire on the part or
Mr.. Hill and his friends to take advantage of
the distress in Wall Street capture the St
Paul and make il of the properties of the
Northern Securities Company.
About this time of the year observed Mr.
Lambert lin 1901 the United States Steel Cor
poration had orders for 2500oD tons of steel
for future delivery on its books; at present it
has booked 800, 900 tons, and its entire capac
ity for steel rails is sold UP to the latter part
of November. 1908 The demand for all finished
products is unprecedented and prices are highly
remunerative. The inquiry for all iron and steel
commodities is so large that are importing
pig metal from Canada and England. I regret
that are compelled to buy abroad, but 1t
shows most conclusively that we have not yet
reached the point where manufactur
ing in excess of home consumption. Therefore.
/ am led infer that J. J. Hill misquoted
when he threw the future prosperity Of the
country in doubt.
Mr.. Hill keeps in close touch with the busi-
ness of the country, and of course he knows
better. particularly he is of the ablest
railroad men, not only in the United States.
but in the world Again. say, considering his
shrewdness, his ability, his perspiculty, he
must have been misinterpreted.
AT time in the history OF the country were
business conditions so good they are to-day.
Take the Hill properties, the Great Northern
the Northern Pacific and the Burlington; their
next statements will show very large increases
in gross and net over last year. l know OF no
railroad property that is spending more money
to amplify its facilities than the great properties
in which Mr.. Hill is the controlling spirit II Is
known that the question of making the Erie a
double track line between Chicago and New
York is under considerations the Illinois Central
will put down additional rails over a very large
part of its route between Chicago and New
Orleans. These are two out Of few; hence IL
seems singular that with Mr.. Hills prospective
decline in business. he with others should be
enarging the physical part OF the roads.
While talking about increasing the
capacity of railroad transportation. ! am re-
minded that the st. Paul was the subject of a
contest for control about this time two years
ago. a contest which, you know, was transferred
to the Burlington. when it found that the
St Paul could not be had in the open market.
Many people think that the acquisition Of the
St. Paul is still desired. Without question, 1t
would strengthen the Northern Securities Com
pany greatly, both physically and financially
