FINANCIAL NEWS.

Lewis H. Tappsn e. Co, In their weekly
stock letter. say:
The prominent feature of the market
for the past week has been the way IN
which prices have withstood the reports
Of unfavorabe developments. notably
the Baltimore failures and the bank trou-
bles In ST. Louis 1t is very apparent
that the Liquidation which was 40 pro-
nounced In the past Is over: this fact has
naturally made for greater confidence
and more general interest on the part OF
the outside investors. feature of which
the market has been in sore need for
many months. In fact the market has
shown more strength during the past fort
night, than for the last II months.
While the more conservative and bet
ter informed financial interests do not
look for anything approaching bull
market for many months to come. they
do not believe that a gradual hardening
of prices should take place. during which
the better of the dividend paying railroad
stocks should advance from TO ] points
before the new year.
As coming from one of the Interstate
commerce commissioners when asked for
his opinion on the railroads. we believe
the following is particularly interesting:
1T is all nonsense to say that the de-
Clincs I'm stock values are based on a fall
ing off I'm business. AS a matter of fact,
the leading roads of the country are doing
more business than they have ever done
before. What IL more. they are all In
position when they can retrench az the
first indication OF a let-up I'm traffic, so
that they can cut down expenses the in
slant II becomes necessary. The roads
are earning more money today than they
were when the people were scrambling
to buy stocks at prices % per cent higher
than they are now. 1t may have been
that the stock values OF year or Is
months ago were inflated. but one thing is
sure. and that is that the declines have
not been caused by any shrinkage I'm ac-
tual earnings. I could pick out eight or
ten railroads whose stock is now selling
way below what II is really worth.
Another hopeful thing for the rail-
roads was the legislation OF the last ses-
sion. The Elkns act served TO give just
that touch OF stability 10 railroad business
that was lacking under the old system
OF giving secret rebates think that
rates are better maintained now than
they have ever been, the result being BEN
eflcial 10 both shippers and railroads.
None OF the shippers are being undersold
by rival who IL getting a secret rebate.
the roads know that a competing line is
not getting business by Offering cut
rates"
An important sign of better conditions
is the market Improvement in demand for
good railroad bounds; there seems TO be
a renewal Of genuine investment buying
for the first time I'm many months.
Although the press OF liquidation Is
over. hut with the tightness Of the money
market Il seems logical to expect broad
traders market with gradual hardening
OF prices At these levels the railroad
stocks should be safe. especially so when
bought on reactionary days. Never did
the old conservative advice of Stick 10
the Railroads apply any better to the
market than at present.
