HARD TASK AHEAD OF
THE NEW STEEL MAGNATE
MICH Expected Of Schwab's Successor.

P1TTSBURG. July 4.-There is much
discussion in this city over the proba-
Bile policy of William Ellis Corey as
acting president of the United States
steel Corporation. 1t seems evident
here that the arrangement made does
not include the seddling of Mr.. Corey
with any Of the financial intricacies OF
the big corporation. His work will be
devoted entirely to the practical end and
to the producing of steel.
In this connection 1t may be remarked
that the corporation will endeavor to
increase the production OF all its plants.
The pressure on the mills manufacturing
rails is shown by the requisition made
on the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, the
management OF which has been notified
that the production for July be in ex-
cess of 10000 tons. while the best pre-
vious record has been $500 tons. Mr..
Corey Will devote most of his time TO
looking after these practical matters.
and in this way will be doing on a
larger scale what he has done as presi-

with which was recently combined the
American Steel Hoop Company. and the
National Steel Company.
The training of the new assistant
president has not been in the financial
line. He has been a protege more of Mr..
Schwab than of Andrew Carnegie, sue
ceeding Mr.. Schwab as the Carnegie
president, when the big corporation was
formed This, OF course. relieved him of
much of the financial detail that had
been the lot CT the Carnegie officials
prior to the time the financial matters
were carried to the New York ofaees
under the merger. Mr.. Corey's policy
will be in the line of conservatism,
but of getting out of all product pos
sble at the minimum cost As a han
dler of men Mr.. Corey has been success
full, owing 70 the fact that he has had
unorganized men 10 deal with. but under
other circumstances would possibly not
have the success that characterized
the more pacific and diplomatic Mr.
Schwab.

il seems perfectly reasonable TO antiCi-

The monetary situation is really bet

severe stock market liquidation and the

NEW YORK, July 3.-Heavy June dis
bursements. improved monetary condi-
tions abroad and a temporary oversold
condition Of the local stock market in-
duced a fair recovery in values and a
consequently better feeling on the Stock
Exchange. The chief obstacle to further
activity was the approach OF the holi-
days and an inGisposition to carry stocks
over a two days interval.
We are now approaching the usual
period Of summer quiet. when abundant
opportunity is offered for studying the
proba bilities upon which Wall Street al
ways waits before taking the initiative.
The first six months OF 1908 have been
a period Of severe and thorough liquida-
tion. What about the next six months?
The reaction following the underwrit-
/ ing and speculative craze of 1902 came
sooner than anticipated, as reactions OF
that nature Invariably do; and the Ques-
tions now pressing for solution are:
Has the reaction eliminated; is liquida-
tion over; is the readjustment between
supply and demand. or between guam
tity and value. complete?
To be perfectly frank, we do not think
the adjustment is complete. A number
Of good securities have come down to
intrinsic values. where investors can
take hold with confidence, but there are
still many OF the newer creations sell
/ ing at inflated fgures-held up by sheer
force-which have yet to face the test
of trade reaction or diminished profits
1t is just here that careful judgment
must be exercised in estimating the fu-
| ture of the stock market. While the
period of special stress in financial cir
cles is over; while the situation is better
/ than Il was six months ago; while all
prolonged downward movements are ac-
companied by rallies such as the pres
ent. stin these facts furnish very little
guidance as to what may be expected
between now and the close of 1903.
As we have stated in previous adyices
the dominating factors viii be the crops
and money Political campaigns may
have t. be taken into consideration, but
these at present do not threaten any
very serious problems. The labor agi-
tation has proved serious burden upo-
| industrial enterprise. the fun effect O
which remains to be seen: but indica
tions are that such demands have a.
last reached point where self-pres ar
walton prevents further concessions, and
the next six months may demonstrate
whether or not business will stand the
new exacticns.
IN the crop outlook there is nothing
discouraging except backwardness- II
the case Of corn this is OF consequence
because it increases the danger from
frost. and the prolonged absence Of higl
temperature is unfavorable to corn. Sii

than 200 horses that were released from

CLOSE TO DEATH.
Four Negro Women Had Narrow T scope at
Union Depot Yesterday.

Two negro women tossing ana scramb
ling for very life was the narrowing
scene at the Union depot yesterday
morning when the Southern Railway
train pulled out for the east.
The woman had gotten in the eolored
coach to bid a relative good bye and
the train was backing out rapidly when
they rushed to the platform and tried
to alight. The older woman dropped orr
and the younger came on top Of her.
The clothing Of both were being scraped
by the passing tran as they lay on the
platform and their bodies over partly to-
wards the track.
People who saw this held their breath,
for death seemed certain. The dress
of the older woman was caught, but
happily 1T tore and the train passed as
the thoroughly frightened woman man
aged to roll to one side and scramble
to their feet.
1t was a close shave for them, and
their escape was but by hairs breadth.
An inch or two closer to the train and
they would have been torn and crushed
between the platform and the wheels
of the train.
