PUBLICITY AND THE STEEL TRUs

PUBLICITY AND THE STEEL TRUST.
The United States Steel corporation
has just made public its report for the
year 1902 and it is credited with having
given a complete statement of its af-
fairs, thus taking its stockholders
frankly and fully into its confidence.
The report is regarded, according to a
New York dispatch, as really an event
of the highest consequence. Many think
it mark an era in the relations of the
great corporate combinations to the
public 1t is believed that the example
must in the long run be followed by
other corporations toward which the
people are looking with something of
apprehension, a fear for which the Sc
cretive blind pool management that is
characteristic of some of them is in
great measure responsible. There is no
doubt that this course of the great steel
corporation is an example which other
industrial corporations will find it neces-
sary or e~xpedient to follow in order to
command public confidence. They may
not generally be disposed TO make pub
licity Of their affairs so complete as has
been done by the steel corporation, but
they cannot AFFORD 10 continue the re
eretive policy they now observe at the

Secretary Shaw is said to be hardly
pleased with the slowness Of the bond
holders to refund in response to his
recent offer, Notwithstanding the fact
that his proposition is supposed to be
favorable for conversion. Either the
financial condition which the secretary
expected to relieve no longer exists or
the bondholders, who for the most
part are bankers, do not appreciate the
efforts of the treasury. In either event
the likely result will be that Secretary
Shaw will be slower in coming to the
front in the future with new PROPOSE
tions to alleviate the financial tension.

Of New Jersey 927 corporations char

capital approximating $25O,OO0,OO0 have

"UNDIGEsTED SECURITIES"
Market GIutted with Millions of Syn
dictated Paper.
springfeld (Masa.N RepuhlIcan

Springfield CMass.1 Republican
By "undigested securities" Mr.. Morgan
meant unswallowed securities, or securities
still being carried by promoters and under
writing syndlcates which they have been
unable to persuade the public to swallow.
The amount Of such paper overhanglng the
market is problematical, but the New York
Journal Of Commerce ventures a calcula-
ton, and at the same time It presents a
list of the more important new issues Of
securities already brought out since Janu-
airy 1, or Immediately contemplated. The
total Is a formidable one:
Previously unmarketed securi-
Capital issued so far this year:
Railroad and industrial. ........ $40, 207, 900
Municipal bonds ................ 30,225,00
Philippine notes. ............... 100000
Prospective issued authorized:
Railroad and Industrial. .........$ $685. 900
Municipal bonds, April......... 1900 900
Total $b64,325,ON
Grand 81, 267,7 $4,000
This is apart from capital Issues pending
in Europe of an aggregate amount of some
1924, 900, 900, which, Of course, in the pres
ent international mobility Of capital, have
a bearing upon the domestic situation.
1t will be seen that the ''undigested Sc
CdIlltu ONGI last year dE0
placed at about $500, oO0, 900 in aggregate
amount, and before these have been worked
of there comes pouring into the market a
new supply of nearly $40 0 900, 900 OF Sc
c%urities, to say nothing of what is develop
ing beyond the immediate range Of vision.
This is an extraordinary exhibit, even for
these times of day-and-night work in manu-
featuring capital issues.
The securities market is already glutted.
This is admitted by Mr.. Morgan. who makes
the obvious fact the occasion for his recent
interview. But the securities market is
like any other-subject to the law Of supply
and demand, and the comparative ease with
which supply can be augmented as against
demand renders this market peculiarly ex-
posed to the danger Of overproduction.
That danger is now upon It; In fact, the
market is deep in the midst OF the condition
Of overproduction, and 1t necessarily fol-
lows that prices sag and sag on the stock
exchanges. Most Of the new Issues pending
are of a much higher grade than the un-
swallowed securities carried over from last
year, and they will be marketed ahead OF
the latter, so far as they are sold at all
but their great quantity will necessitate a
sale at falling prices, and compel a general
downward revision in stock market values
thus leaving Mr.. Morgan's ~undigested Sc
%curities In a worse position than ever. I'm.
der these circumstances It is impossible
that the stock market can experience any
considerable degree of permanent recovery
for some time to come.

Henry WatteTson insists that If all
the southern whites were transplanted
to the north and northern whites sub
stituted in their places the race prob
lem in the southern states would exist
there just the same as at present. His
plea Is for the north to acquiesce in the
Acknowledgement Of the blacks, but he
says not a word about correcting the
representation of the southern states
in congress and in the electoral college,
in which the southern whites vote not
only for themselves, but for the dis
franchised blacks as well. The enforce
ment of the constitutional provision for
a reduction in representation CORE
spending to the abridgement of the suf-
frage would be the best brake that could
be put on the too general tendency in
the south to draw the color line at the
ballot box.

Good Work.
Time was when the average farmer

work done by agricultural colleges and
experiment stations That time has
gone by, says Creamery Journal. The
men In control of these institutions no
longer seclude themselves in their or
fees and classrooms. They get out and
mix with the farmers and tradesmen
and conduct their experiments along
practical business lines. In dairy work
such men as Professors Curtiss and
Mckay In Iowa, Henry. Babcock, Far
rington and Vol in Wisconsin, Err and
Glover In Illinois, Van Norman in In

Will Weger Delivered Special Marked
Joke"

VIII Weger, who began working at the
postoffice Monday as special delivery
boy, was initiated into the mysteries Of
the department yesterday. AS he was a
new one the boys thought that he would
have an increased opinion of the special
delivery department If he was given a
test, and they proceeded TO fix up a joke
on him. Yesterday one of the boys
handed him an innocent looking special
addressed TO a party on Fairmount. Not
once suspecting that he was being work
ed. he made the long ride to Paramount.
When he delivered the special he found
that it contained only the word Joke. >"
AS he rode back to the postoffice he COM
muned with himself and came to the
conclusion that the jokers builded wisely
when they labeled it Joke for if not
he might have taken it for dirty, mean
trick However he took the joke in good
spirit and is now a member of the post
office fraternity IN good standing.
