selves against disturbing influence
should any arise. In the main railroad
earnings are satisfactory and compare
very favorably with those of a year
ago. In some cases the gain has been
important and is the real reason for
the heavy investment and speculative
purchases of securities.
The Advance in Steel,
On the recent startling advance in
Steel preferred there was a general
run in Of Pittsburg and New York
bears. Mr.. Schwab is credited with
having covered a line of from 25 ,O0G
TO 10000 shares at an average loss of
$40 a share. His line may have been
considerably larger than that, however,
as Mr. Schwab has developed into
something of a plunger. The worst
punished bears seem to be those known
in Wall street as the "Pittsburg con-
tlngent, group of rich spectators
who are classed as experts in the iron
ana steel business and who predicate
their deals largely on their knowledge
OF trade conditions. In this instance,
however, the course of the market for
steel shares appeared to be working on
entirely Independent lines The ex-
PLANTATION given for this is that the
management some time ago decided to

at the $170,000,000 mark, and to that
end started about buying the neces-
sary $S0,000,00O of preferred stock in
the open market. That is a good deal
OF STOCK to lick up and could not help
but have an appreciable effect upon
prices, in point of fact marking up quo
tat1ons more than $40 a share. The
advance hit lot of big GEARS and
subjected them to severe Punishment.
There is as yet no official confirmation
OF the purpose of the management to
go ahead with the bond conversion
scheme, but the story is nevertheless
fully believed by those who have best
sources of confidential information.
The deal when complete will leave out
standing only about 100000, 900 of pre-
ferred stock. Whether or not its po-
sltlon Will be benefited by the exist
ence of prior lien against the prop

Pulling Down Bank Reserves.

The uncomfortable feature of the sit
uation upon which greatest stress is
laid by the bears is the pulling down
of the bank reserves in New York and
the increase in loans. The attention
which has been called to this has APP
parently caused many conservatives to
preach the advisability of checking the
market movement for time and await
ing the return flow of funds in this
direction before encouraging further
enlargement of speculation. The de-
mand for money with which to move
the crops in the West and South has
been larger than expected and the
fact is now clearly revealed that the
interior banks sent to New York a
heavier percentage of their idle funds
than they had been willing to admit
Eastern banks, however, were found
fully prepared to meet the drain and
rather welcomed it, as they are there
by given an excuse for marking up
interest rates. The prevailing charge
for call money is 2 per cent. and bet
ter while time money has also be-
come more valuable to both lender and
borrower.

line OF work will probably be tnaugu-

Latin has been an elective study for
many years, the authorities preferring
to leave the matter Of taking up a
study Of the dead language to the
students themselves. To those who
intend entering business Immediately
after the close of their High School
course and to those who do not intend
taking any advanced work In other
schools, Latin is not essential and
they can we'll afford to be without Il.
The time not taken up with the study
OF Latin is supposed to be spent on
something OF benefit to the pupils.
Many OF the High School pupils,
however, and especially the boys,
intend entering colleges and pre-
parator schools at the conclu-

course. To these a good preparatory
