NEW YORK. January 22-(Special)-
well known financier in Wall street
commented to-day on recent specula ton
in Chesapeake ond Ohio stock, said:
Speculation In Chesapeake and Ohio is
apparently being conducted by interests
which have several times In the past two
or three years led bull campaigns in it on
the strength of various rumors such as
3 per cent guaranteed by the Pennsyl-
vania. At present. there is reason to
believe that advantage is being taken of
the probability that The Chesapeake and
Ohio will be used In connection with the
Hooking Valley plan to stimulate dealings
in the stock.
The company's earnings, moreover. are
making decidedly better showing now
that the strike is over and there Is fair
probability that rates on soft coal will
be advanced April LIST. In the circum-
stances. 1t is not unreasonab BILE that there
should be speculate rs In the stock
No attention need be paid to rumors
In circulation to the effect that any
changes are likely in the status of Chesa-
peake and Ohio In the near future. The
company is practically controlled by the
Vanderbilts AMI the Pennsylvania. being
operated more or less under the super
vision Of the latter It pays dividends
yearly In September, and no dividend need
be looked for before then Indica tons
are that 1t may earn per cent. on the
stock for he current fiscal year.
Assuming that the Chesapeake and
Ohio gets the Hooking Valley, 1t will be
on terms which will OF yield a very large
profit at once. Surprising the stock to
be earning per cent. this year. it is rela-
lively dear. compared to Norfolk and
Western under normal conditions, which
Is likely to show per cent. on the com

The relative earning capa cities of the

SMALL BUSINESS.

The Reidsville Review tells us that
the Barnum & Bailey circus Cancelled
it's engagement in Danville last week
because the city aldermen would not
permit the show people to parade
over the streets of that city. The
reason assigned was that Gas the city
would derive no taxes from the exhi-
bition (the show was to be outside
the corporate limits) they could not
allow the use OF their streets when
there was no compensation coming
to the municipality" This strikes
us as q small piece Of business. The
city owed something to its citizens
and the thousands OF people from
the surrounding territory who were
drawn there by the parade alone, as
well as to itself. How many persons
would ever have seen the various
specimens Of wild animal life from all
parts OF the world but for the travel
ing menagerie? And the circus pa
rade is in itself great show and a
rare treat to thousands, old and
young, who never see the inside OF
the show. We hold, therefore, that
the city aldermen Of Danville owed
something to the public as well as
themselves. But in this commercial
lied age when the dollar is put above
the man they are not alone in making
money the only consideration.
