bination intends in the near future
to raise the black flag and take the
position of rate disturber. If such
a policy should be carried out the rate
situation In the Middle West viii be
seriously demoralized. With this COM
bination in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana
and the Stickney-Connor Great West
ern system in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Minnesota, there would be slight
hope of rate harmony between the
Western Pennsylvania state line and
Omaha for a good while to come. II
MAY eventually become necessary for
the greater railroad systems to pay
the price the rate disturbers demand
Mr.. Stickney had q chance to sell his
road out at big figure about a year
ago, but he held out for a high price
and lost his market. He is a very
stubborn proposition, however and may
yet win out along the lines he hasl so
persistently followed.
Crop Expert Kept Busy.
Not for several years has the crop
scare expert been as influential in the
stock markets. He has been a figure
for weeks and has been played up
to the utmost. After wreaking havoc
with winter and spring wheat he turn
ed his attention next to cotton and
then to corn, proving of speculative
value in each speciality and in stocks
as well. With regard to corn, how
ever, the reports of the Crop killers"
produced relatively little effect. 1t
is of common knowledge that the corn
crop south of the Chicago parallel
is beyond serious danger from frost,
and that at worst there could be only
minor damage by impairment of quail
ity in the northern zones rather than
loss OF quantity. The extreme Of in

BANKERS OPTIMISTIC ON
BUSINESS CONDITIONS
No Lack OF Ginger in Stock Market and New
Yorks Transactions 1,ooo, 900 Shares Day
ByfW. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, Sept. 17.-One oftheinter-
esting features of the week has been
the free interchange of banking opin-
ion among the financiers from all parts
of the country who have been here in
convention assembled. The formal pro-
ceedings of the convention were not the
most interesting or important develop
ments of the occasion. The real value
Of the event is found in the opportu-
nifty presented for the commingling Of
representatives of banking interests Of
the whole United States. There are
heart to heart talks, rubbing of ell
bows and a general shaking together
Of financial people, the good effects of
which cannot be over-estimated.
Bankers Optimistic.
The almost universal expression Of
banking opinion, both public and pri-
vate. is optimistic on general business
conditions. Proof. was advanced from
every quarter that the country is
blessed with unusual prosperity. More
individuals than ever before are in
comfortable shape. 1t was admitted
that the industrial situation might be
better, but the sentiment was general
that even in that quarter there is good
ground to look for betterment. The
aggregate value of the farm crops
raised this year Is certain TO be mate-
rally above the average OF recent
years IN spite Of the reduction OF pos
sibly 10000, 900 bushels In the wheat
crop as compared with last year. The
estimate Is made and very generally
approved that the farmers are likely
10 receive al least 500. O0O. 900 more Tor
this years output than they did for
last With this 10 go on there would
appear 20 be good ground FOR the pre-
valling optimistic tone and slight basis
for fear OF disturbing influences 81 euf-
icient consequence 20 interfere with
the favorable trend.
