FINANCE AND CONNER CT.
CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

points under the record figures of 1905.
The decline has not been accompanied
by depreciation in the actual worth
of investments, but there are some peo-
pie who believe that the loss IN values
foreshadows an unfavorable change in
the tide of business affairs in this coun-
try, basing their idea on the theory
that stock markets discount coming
events. There is. however, no indica-
tion of weakening business foundations
and no reason for pessimism over the
country's industrial outlook. Strength
in the industrial situation is attested
by the ability of men in all lines of
trade to do a prosperous business in the
face of many developments that in or
binary times would exert an unfavora-
bic effect on the countrys productive
energies. The corn crop failure CT
1901, for instance. caused an enormous
financial loss to the farmers, merchants,
railroads and exporters in the United
States, yet industrial activity was net
checked, while our credit was so strong
that we were able to place enormous
loans abroad Another factor showing
the strong position of the COUNTRY is
the rapid reduction of the loans just
mentioned in the course of the past
eight months through excess merchan-
disc exports, and in the past TWO weeks
through gold exports. Ever since the
Northern Pacific panic of 1901 the stock
market has been subjected to the inau-
ence of series of adverse develop
ments, which have not, however. dam
aged real investment value, and 1t would
now seem as if the decline far more
than measured the bad features in the
situation and overdiscounted possible
unfavorable changes in the next few
months.
The decline in Pennsylvania. New York
Central and ST. Paul has been accom-
panied by various reports regarding
Standard Oil pressure on the market,
and there are not a few operators
who believe that efforts have been made
to depress shares for purposes of ac-
emulation. It is also evident a well en-
gineered bear campaign has been under
way in the stocks named. especially In
Pennsylvania and New York Central,
and, despite the announcement last week
that a powerful underwriting syndicate
had been formed to handle Pennsyl-
vania's new stock, the price of the is
sue. 1t was. said, would continue under
bear pressure. Pennsylvania sold at 10
last September. It's lowest price last
week was 1851. The new stock is to
be issued at 120. and the object of the
bear party has apparently been to de-
press the price to point at which the
rights" on the new stock would be
worthless. Street opinion however, ia
vored at the close of the week the
theory that the underwriting syndicate
would be an important factor in weak
ening bear influence in the current mar
ket.

Liquidation has been on heavy scale
throughout the past week. and prices.
especially for the standard stocks, have
suffered important declines, but the
general idea is. while perhaps the worst
of the urgent liquidation has been seen,
the market is likely to continue irregu-
lar and perhaps go still lower before
there is any substantial upturn that Will
hold, and that this latter cannot be ex-
pected to develop until some Of the

ment have been removed.

Early consideration by traders will
doubtless be given to the real underly-
ing causes of the Pennsylvania s resort
to an underwriting plan for the fiota-
tion of their new stock after having
made so comprehensive an attempt to
finance this and its other vast plans.
The underwriting price of 120 would
seem low enough for this erstwhile
ironclad security on per cent basis,
and If this be the feeling of the
worlds great fnanciers some other
properties, of course, Will have no
greater earning bearing value st.
Paul is again lower in London.
and it becomes matter of interest to
know how many holders of these and
kindred high priced properties Will pre-
fer Pennsylvania to the extent it can
be gotten at the underwriters price
with the 219 per cent commission added.

Russia VIII Not Accept Aid.

Washington, d. C.-Numerous offers
have reached the Russian government
from American sources to aid the fam
lilies Of sufferers in the recent Kishi-
neff incident All such offers have
been declined for the reason that Rus
sia Is entirely capable Of extending
relI to and under the circumstances
ca1l,.o. accept outside aid. The Russian
position in the matter, as stated to
the Associated press, in brief, is as
follows: Russia has not been unappre-
ciative of the generous offers which
have come to her from America since
the affair at Kishineff, nor Of the hui
manitarian motive which may have
prompted these offers. In view of the
fact that his majesty, the emperor, has
the means at hand to relieve suffering.
wherever it appears in his empire, out
side aid is unnecessary and all offers of
such must be declined. Nor will 1t
be possible for Russia to receive any
representations regarding the Kishin-
eff incident from foreign powers The
Russian government takes the same
position as that long held by the Amer
lean government, namely, that 1t re-
frains from interference in the internal
affairs Of another power and must in
sist on similar treatment for ITSELF
Should any foreign power take steps
to restrict immigration Of Russian
Jews on the ground that they are unde-
sirable, Russia will not protest. She
admits the right Of every nation to
say who shall come through its gates
and who shall not.
Should any country as result Of the
Kishineff incident, adopt measures re-
stricting immigration of Russian Jews,
Russia will regard such step only as
defensive measure on the part of the
power taking 1t and not in the light
Of reflection on the Russian govern
ment.
