Wall Street. Gossip.

Especial to The Times Dlspntch.)
NEW YORK, Oct s.--The opening Of the
stock market was irregular and rather heavy,
In view OF the lower tone In London. Traders
were somewhat bearish and commission houses
were without orders for the most part. The
general opinion among the representative houses
was that the disclosures In the United States
Shipbuilding case would tend still further 10
restrict public interest in the market. ~
Amalsamated Copper was weak In sympathy
with the heavy tone Of copper stocks In London.
The other Standard OIL stocks were heavy. SO
that the room was inclined to discount stories
OF weakness In the market for the metal and
declining demand
The renewal of liquidation In the United
States Steel issues In London had m unfayor-
able effect. The most serious OF the selling
seemed to come from Pittsburg and the Middle
West.
The keynote OF the speculation In the early
morning was the discussion OF the Industrial
situation, stimulated by mo recent reduction In
Steel dividend and falling on OF earnings OF
that corporation. The principal effect of these
influences felt In Amalgnmated Copper,
which continued to BIO sold freely. Traders ar.
gued that the reaction In the metal industry
would probably include copper In Its move
ments and In consequence doubts were express.
ed that the present dividend In Amalgamated
Copper would be long sustained. While specnla.
tlon was not marked by conspicuous liquidation,
tho sentiment OF the trading element was In.
clined to dependency.

STEEL CoMPANY,s REPORT.

Several facts of public interest are given authoritative
publication in the annual report of the United States
Steel Corporation, which appeared in Republican
papers throughout the land Monday morning
OF greatest Importance is the item of employees and
their wages for in this particular be found the pro
lection" afforded the workingmen by the high tariff
which enables the great trust to exist The statement
shows that the average number of employees for the year
I6SI27, and that they received III salaries wages
the sum OF $I2o52S 343-an of barely 500
nuay, a little So day for each working day.
In determining what the in the plants and mines
actually earned it will be necessary deduct the fancy
salaries paid the president and superintendent and
agers-fOr instance Schwab gets Million and the other
brass collars paid fabulous This reduces very
materially the earnings of the aborers and brings their
wages down below s. day
In the meantime the has paid dividends of 7
per cent $5IO,Oooooo of preferred stock and per
$5o8ooo,ooo of common stock-of which stocks
at least half pure and represents nothing tangi-
bic but the cnch the has by virtue of proec-
ton afforded by the Dingey tariff Having paid these
usurious dividends the trust has hand undivided
surplus of $1,000 ooo-neary twohirds much the
total amount paid in wages
The total volume of business of the trust was $780,
100000, and to produce this business labor was paid
trife less than one-hfth
This fact plain from the statement: The undivided
surplus and the dividends watered stock undoubtedly
to as much the earnings of the employees OF
the big trust That is the wages of the workingmen
could have been doubled and the would still have
been able to pay liberal dividends its stocks.
So far known the trust has announced an in
tenon OF increasing wages. although the
is made that orders booked will keep the plants going
the entire year.
And the steel trust its existence. its monopoly
and its usurouS profits TO the Dingley tariff
Great is the trust favorite child of the tariff grand
child of the Republican party

THE INTRAcrABLE MoRos.

The details of the fighting that took place last week
in the advance of Capt Pershng and his command the
island of Mndanao gives color to claims of mill
tary men that civil government i'll the Philippine archi-
pelago tried far The strong hand is still
y for having tried impose the methods of peace upon
people who not affected to in any way.
The Moro is 'savagely intractable than the
t1veS OF the civilized of the islands He lacks the
cunning of the Pine and has continued fight but there
plenty of proof that the other natives simply bid
ing their time and awaiting day of reckoning How
little the authorities civil and military know of the con-
dons IN the more remote provinces of of the ISL
ands is demonstrated in the fact that Capt. Pershng
found forts at Bacolod which had been year in the
building and over which few insurgent battle flags.
1t is not to be doubted that the same conditions ex-
St elsewhere. The civil government has been putting
weapons in the hands of who insurgents
heart though enrolled in the constabuary and those
men who have fought against and know the of the
Filipino are outspoken in expressing their fears
that the civil government is armng foe that will turn
us.
Army say frankly that they expect the United
States will have more in the islands year from
now than there were when Aguinado was captured.
Naturally they inclined scott the possibility of
the civil being able cope with condition
but there grave believe that there is much
cause for the doubts they express.
In the of the Filipino it might have been more
discreet to have permitted the constitution to follow
the flag at a greater distance.
