lost many millions. Wall street made
a very high market for miscellaneous
holders of Northern Pacific. Louisville
and Nashville and other railroad
stocks bought for control, but the cost
to the spectators was heavy. In
stances almost without number might
be cited showing where spectators
have given the public a chance to I'M
load at big advantage. Thus, while
one part of the public has lost by the

speedily developed into the worst

Farmers and the specuIator..

The agricultural community of the
United States has good reason to thank
the spectators. The high prices to
which the products of the soil have
been elevated put hundreds of millions
Of dollars of additional profits into the
pockets of farmers West and South OF
the Alleghenies.
The unintentional philanthropy OF
Wall street during the last two years
would be a good text for some clever
satirist. Wall street and the Chicago
Board of Trade made higher market
for cotton, corn, wheat, oats and many
other products, and contrary to the
usual custom paid heavily for the per-

Parker Boom Helps Market.

The Roadway which is being made by
the Parker presidential boom is hav-
ing a distinctively favorable market
influence. The financial popularity of
Manhattan Island will be entirely sat
isfied with the Democratic nomination
of Judge Parker, who is advertised as
being a safe and conservative propo-
sition. He is sponsored by August
Belmont, who vouches for him as being
unobjectionable to the business inter-
ests. The Belmont connection with
the Parker boom may or may not
strengthen in the West and South. but
1t makes him strong in New York.
The stock market Is being helped
more than little by the decreasing
speculative interest in commodities
Wall street in common with the finan-
cial sections of other important cities,
has lost money by dabbling in grain,
cotton, coffee and other staples which
have been doomed by specialists during
the last year or two. At the same
time the bull movements in these va
rious commodities have resulted to the
very great general advantage of the
farming population of the South and
West.

ROckefellers Let in.

Now that he has taken the Rookie
Iellers into partnership with him in the
direction of Union Pacific the future
of that vast system will be watched
with increasing interest. The Rookie
tellers believe in having their proper
ties make all the money that is posi-
bic to be made, but that does not all
ways argue for immediate harmony in
competitive territory. The harmony
and community of interest which Is in
highest favor with the Standard Oil
crowd is that which arrives after COM
petition has been killed. 1t is the
peace which reigns in a desert--the
serenity which follows the total an
Inhalation of an enemy. Mr.. Hartman
may not like his new bed-feliow and
partner, but he will have to acquiesce
with the new conditions. 1t will be a
physical impossibility for him to swal-
low his new associate, and he will be
in luck if he is not himself swallowed
AS it is he is exceedingly fortunate
that his Union Pacific was not taken
away from him as he tried to take
Northern Pacific away from Messrs.
Morgan and Hill three years ago. He
caught them mapping just as Rookie
Teller caught him,

Threw Market Into a FURRY.

The entire stock market was in a
nervous state during the early stages
of the contest between Rockefeller and
Hartman. This nervousness was not
entirely unreasonable, either, as there
were many signs of terrific struggle
going on behind the scenes between
the giants. When big people have
their hands at each others throat's it
is time for little folks to get under
cover, lock the doors and pull down
the blinds. At the same time the very
evident willingness of the market to
advance if it should turn out that the
giants could get together after their
contest of strength keyed up the specu-
lative feeling and induced more or less
miscellaneous buying by the venture
some. After hating for some little time
the general market moved up and
broadened out in a way to joy the
souls of commission earners. On this
Improvement considerable distribution
of securities occurred. Large amounts
of Union Pacific bought by specula-
| tors came out and there was profit-tak-
ing all along the line by the trading
| element.
| Conservatives are not in hearty SYM
| pathy with the theory of a continued
hull movement, however. 1t is under
stood that on every bulge their stuff
| Is for sale and that the people who
have the goods on their shelves are
not getting excited over the situation.
| They are mildly pleased to see i'm
proVement, but are not increasing
their lines to help it along.

Got the start of Hartman.

Others were of the same mind, and
having an linking OF the Hartman
plans, got the start of him. They
were busy while Hartman slept.
Quietly and for weeks they took all
Union Pacific offerings, absorbing the
surplus skillfully and in such a man
ner as not to disturb things. The re-
suit was that when Mr.. Hartman
started in to buy back his stock he
found the market well drained. The
Rockefellers had not yet obtained all
they wanted, however, and there en-
sued a spirited competition between
Hartman and the Standard Oil forces.
Union Pacific was marked up 16
points during the progress of the con-
test and the whole financial world was
puzzled as to the meaning of the enor-
nous buying which was apparent
Among the theories advanced to ex-
plain the riddle was one that Morgan
and Hill were buying the control away
from Mr.. Hartman. Another was that
the Rock Island crowd was buying
into Union Pacific. Another attributed
the purchase to the St. Paul Rail-
road direct. Still others put the Van
derbilts in and revived the old story
of a trans-continental line under Van
derbiltian control. This latter theory
is still chung to tenaciously in some
usually well-informed quarters.

said in the street that they had to
buy in the open market not less than
100000 shares, or $4,000, 900, par value.
Some estimates make the figure $780,
900, 900.
The one thing certain Is that Mr..
Hartman inadvertently left his great
railroad out of doors over night and
1t strayed away into the woods. When
he started to recover the strayed
property he found others trying to cap
ture it His position was not unlike
that occupied by Mr.. Belmont just
prior to that gentleman's loss of con-
troll of Louisville and Nashville-the
time John w. Gates kidnapped the
property and held 1t for ransom. The
important difference between the two
cases is that Mr.. Hartman discovered
his danger before the game was ire
trievably lost. The belief is strongly
entertained in banking quarters close
to Standard Oil that the Rockefeller
interest in Union Pacific amounts to
more than one-third of the outstanding
common stock, besides large interests
in the senior securities.

Steel Trusts Exhibit.

The financial exhibit made by the
Steel Trust has been variously re-
ceived in the street. A disquieting fea-
ture In connection with the report is
the evidence of manipulation in Steel
stocks, both before and after the diVi-
dend announcement and statement of
earnings. The popular estimate of net
results was below official figures and
there was consequent elation over the
$40, 100000 earned, whereas only &c.,
900, 900 had been looked for. The deficit
for the quarter OF less than 81, 900 1UI,
against nearly $5,000,000 for the last
quarter of 1908, was considered as
being favorable, although the cxis-
tence of any deficit at all had a chill
ing tendency.
People with heads for statistics and
the habit of making comparisons call
ed attention to the fact that a year ago
the minimum quarterly amount called
for to meet fixed charges and to pro-
vide for depreciation, etc, was $19,-
100000. These unpleasant fellows went
about asking wherein there could be
a reduction of many million dollars
per quarter in these requirements.
Finding no satisfactory answer to these
inquiries, they at once jumped to the
conclusion that the latest deficit should
have been nearer $6,000,000 than 81
100000. These carping critics made lit
tie Roadway, however, although they
freely prophesied that insiders were
already preparing for wholesale distri-
button at around these levels, and
that there would be as much inside
stock set afloat within the next thirty
or sixty days as at any previous period
in the history of the corporation.

1t is surprising what f1shy yarns
some old soldiers can tell. Lieut.. L.
d. Immell, Of a Wisconsin battery, tells
how he went up to a plantation resi-
dence in Mississippi, after the battle
of Iuka, and captured a gentleman.
HE was" says the lieutenant, "a
member of the rebel Congress-L. @. c.
Lamar obtained in exchange for
him, two of our brigadiers." Lamar
was never Confederate congressman,
but he did serve in the United States
Congress from 1856 to 1860, and was a
member of the Mississippi Secession
Convention. AS he was then only a
lieutenant colonel Of the Nineteenth
Mississippi Regiment, the idea that he
was exchanged for two federal briga-
der generals Is too absurd.

citing Into HilI's Territory.

Incidentally also the Rockefellers by
reason of their heavy buying into I'm
ion Pacific, encroach further upon the
Northwestern territory, over which
James ]. Hill has been for so long the
undisputed transportation king. The
Rockefellers have for several years
last past controlled st. Paul, and now
with the hold which is given them upon
Northern Pacific. by reason of their
investment in Union Pacific, Standard
Oil becomes a really important factor
in that section of the country.
Gradually inside facts are coming out
explanatory of the recent tremendous
activity, and strong advance in Union
Pacific. The story is one which great
ly amuses the big people of Wall street,
although the public has not yet been
let fully into the half secret.
1t appears that the Hartman party
had greatly reduced its holdings of
Union Pacific at higher levels. feeling
confident of being able to buy back
cheaply and having no fear whatever
of losing control. Washington adVices
were such as to convince the Harri-
man people that the Supreme Court
would hand down an adverse decision
in the merger case, and it was the eX-
pectation that on the attendant weak
market there would be oceans Of I'm
ion Pacific certificates on sale.

New York. April 9.-The mysterious
new interest in Union Pacific has been
definitely located at 26 Broadway.
When that designation is given it
means Standard Oil, for "26 Broadway
is the directory number of the man.
moth stone and steel pile which is the
Rockefeller headquarters. This new in
terest is not large enough to give ma
jority control of Union Pacific, but it is
sufficiently formidable to entitle 1t to
very influential voice in the policy
Of the great corporation. Incidentally
also 1t outs the Union Pacific into
closer alliance with the Gould proper
ties west of the Mississippi. George
Gould and Mr.. Hartman were at one
time very close, but latterly their paths
have been somewhat divergent. Mr..
Hartman found it to his advantage to
tie up to the Kuhn, Loeb banking house
and Mr.. Gould devoted himself exclu-
siVely to the cultivation of the Rookie
Teller family. 1t would appear now that
Gould and Hartman are to be brought
together again. There has never been
any estrangement--only a. gradual
pulling apart, perceptible reduction in
temperature so to speak.
