When the United States Steel sink
ing fund bonds were listed this week
in London the action was followed by
a manipulative campaign in the bonds
here, on which the price advanced
sharply and transactions amounted to
between 100000 and $4,000,000 par
value per day. On several days more
than half the transactions in the bond
market were in these bonds. There was
some good buying on the advance, also
some good selling, but manipulation
so clouded the legitimate transactions
that 1t was impossible to judge accu-
rately the character of the latter. At

market. AS a matter of fact, this bond
is little or no better than a first pre-
ferred stock. 1t is stipulated that the
company will only be obliged to pay
one coupon in two years to prevent
foreclosure. 1t is hardly conceivable,
however, that the steel trade would
ever decline to q point necessitating
the defaulting of interest on this bond.
Along with the strength of the sink
ing fund bonds the preferred stock
has improved in value. 1t may be
observed that there has been dis
tinct change in Wall street sentiment
towards the United States Steel securi-
ties since the passing of the dividend

fact is not disguised that a decision

great bitterness personally by Mr..
James !. Hill. In a recent speech be-
fore the Minnesota Agricultural Socie-
ty Mr.. Hill defended the principles in

ern Securities Company, and dwelt
upon the efforts that he and his asso-
ciates Chiefly HIMSELF have recently
made to open UP new markets for the
American farmer. Certain features of
this speech are we'll worth repeating.
Referring to the suits against the
Northern Securities Company. Mr.. Hill
said

stock as an investment and along with
1t an equal amount of the common
stock. The purchase of the preferred
stock at So along with an equal amount
of common stock at IL, would bring
the total of the investment up to 50,
and so long as Steel preferred con-
tinues to pay per cent. the invest
incnt return on the outlay would BIZ
more than 10 per cent.
Meanwhile the financial community
is uncertain as to whether the improve
ment that has occurred in the steel
trade during the past few weeks is
merely a rally in a bear situation or
the beginning of genuine Improvement.
Last December it was rumored in Wall
street that the United States Steel Cor
poration would adopt the old Carnegie
policy of doing business at any price.
This seemed to presage a general de-
moralzation in the trade and was a
weeks sensation. Officials OF the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation, however,
vigorously denied that they were do
ing any such thing. Since then, how
ever, there has been a resumption of
activity in all the properties of the
Steel Trust on a scale that seems hard
ly to be warranted by the slight i'm
provement which has taken place in
the demand for steel products.
This suggests that the giant trust may
possibly be pursuing in quiet way the
old Carnegie policy.
There are many reasons why the Of
ficials might not care to avow such
policy, but the suspicion is made
stronger by the fact that men trained
in the Carnegie school are now domi-
nant in the affairs of the corporation
supported by the Standard Oil inter-
ests. The Standard Oil Company's
method of meeting competition, partic-
ularly in stringent times, has been to
do business at any price, and the
Standard Oil interests in United States
Steel would naturally favor similar
methods in the management OF that
concern. 1t is too early yet to decide
what the increase of activity in the
United States Steel mills really means,
but the situation will bear close watch
ing during the next few weeks.

feeling in this matter may be judged
by his remarks on the theory govern
ing the relations between the railroads
and the people, as follows:
Now, you have always been in the

the place of the market you are losing
becomes a crime and we lay ourselves
open to fine and Imprisonment, I have
got to tell you that we do not want
