one-ffteenth Of the whole and that
rather than postpone the closing of
the books Mr.. Morgan himself sub
scrlbed for the other forty-nine-fifti.
eths. The public, OF course, knew
nothing of this inside history, but 1t
was nightly impressed with the an
nouncement that the issue had been
over-subscribed within twenty-four
hours and when Mr.. Morgan repeated
the experiment few months later
with another issue of securities the
public really did over-subscribe the
offering and did il in one day.

following within the mystic Rookie
feller circle. John ID. Rockefeller,
pere, and John d. Rockefeller, Jr..
conduct Independent operations. The
personal activities Of the elder Rookie
feller alone in the stock market are
very great at times and the Standard
Oil crowd does not always partici-
pate therein. John ID. Rockefeller,
Jr.. has been training lately with
George Gould and the younger ele-
ments of the so-called Gould party
It must not be supposed that the
Standard Oil crowd ever works at
cross purposes. The elder Rockefel-
Ter may do things quietly and alone
in the stock market; William Rookie
feller and II. II. Rogers may conduct
a campaign in Amalgamated Copper
in which the elder Rockefeller takes
no part, and John ID. Rockefeller. Jr..
may bull Missouri Pacific on his own
account but there is always a perfect
understanding between the several
divisions of the Standard Oil crowd
and certain strict loyalty in observ-
ance of which one division goes in
stantly to the assistance of the other
-or co-operates with II in any manner
required. 1t is this unity and perfect
accord that gives the Standard Oil
crowd it's tremendous influence.
The increase of the Calumet and
Hecla dividend this week from So to
$40 a share for the quarter attracted
a great deal of attention an an indi-
cation that the copper companies
must be making a great deal of
money. Indeed, there can be no doubt
Of that. There is a very substantial
margin of profit between the cost of
producing copper and the prices that
have prevailed for the metal this
year. In the case of the Amalga-
mated Copper company the cost of
producing copper, besides, is being
constantly reduced. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Rogers will permit the
Amalgamted Copper company's divi-
dend to be advanced at the next pc
riod to a 4 per cent rate It all de
pends upon the say of Mr. Rogers.
The statement of insiders is known
to be favorable to ar advance and it
is difficult to see how Mr. Rogers can
deny their wishes in the matter any
further.

The practical failure of the United
States Steel Corporations conversion
scheme recalls one of the most strik-
ing incidents of Mr. Morgan's finan-
cial career 1t occurred many years
ago before his prestige in the world
of finance was anything near as pow
erful as 1t is today. His banking
house undertook to sell by subscription
a block OF new securities. The mat
ter was freely advertised in the inan-
cial press and subscriptions invited
in the usual manner. but the an
nouncements were concluded with the
extraordinary statement that the sub
scription book would remain open on
ly twenty-four hours. No such rapid
fire business as that had ever before
been attempted in Wall street. The
custom was to hold subscription books
open for weeks at a time and then
to postpone their closing for the ac-
commodation Of tardy subscribers. Mr.
Morgan's innovation excited a lot of
comment in financial circles and there
was a great deal Of curiosity to see
what would come of It. The books
opened and closed within twenty-four
hurs as advertised and the next day
It was announced that the issue had
been over-subscribed. II did not be-

will be sent to every branch %organiza-

state, as well as to all daily and week

the companies have refused to pay the
