The opinion among some OF the most
important traders is that if war is not
soon declared and the market continues
under pressure of the prevailing uncer-
tainty for a little while longer the news
that hostilities had actually begun not
only would be a great relief. but would
be found to have been discounted in a
speculative way.
Orders for new railway equipment
show a falling off as compared with
this time a year ago. but the indications
point toward an increased number Of
contracts in the current year. Railroad
traffic continues heavy, and the health
ful reaction that is now under way in
business throughout the country has as
yet had no material effect on the earn
ings Of the various railroad companies.
Returns Of earnings received for the
last week in December and for the
month show in the greater number of
cases a heavier volume Of freight than
ever before recorded in a corresponding
month. In December 1902, earnings
were ahead Of all preceding December
records. yet in December. 1903. enormous
increases were recorded. Missouri Pa
cific, for instance, presents a gain for
'ie ih"ilil OF 9"7-,VV1 making Tor the
year an increase of over 5000 600. while
Southern Railway shows an increase for
the month of S290O5O and for the first
half of the fiscal year an increase of
nearly $160lo00
There is not a single market at this
time which is not in some degree af-
fected by some interference with the
natural play of supply and demand. The
congested condition Of the security mar
ket is notorious. The steel trusts prod
ucts are pegged out Of reach of con
sumers; the cotton market has been
manipulated ostentatiously for the rise:
and the grain markets are not entirely
free from similar Influences. Markets in |
such conditions are sensitive, and after /
a prolonged rise are entitled to reaction /
on that fact alone.

CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

Wall Street has rushed TO the conclu-
sion that the decline in the net earn
ings of the big steel company fore
shadows collapse in the general indus
tries Of this country and that foreign
war would be followed by serious Huui-
datiOn Of European holders Of American
securities. The best informed men in
the financial world do not look for a
breakdown in trade this year. while
they do not believe that a war between
Russia and Japan viii have a disastrous
effect on the United States At time
Ike this, however, & war scare makes
good material for the people who are
intent on depressing prices.
1t is notable that no railway will earn
any less because prices have declined:
the uncertainty about the war will be
less disturbing when we know more
about the true cotton yield and the steel
market; we will be talking soon about
the spring crops whether or not they
are fighting across the water Those
are the factors giving true value TO our
securities, and such influences have a
permanence of effect which war news
cannot rival or dispel. Values of Ameri-
cans are made in America, and anybody
for foreign reasons will be rewarded
according to the soundness of his judg-
ment
The reduction in the dividend on the
common stock OF the American Car and
Foundry Company is in line with the
conservation that has always marked
the official actions of the directors Of
this company in matters affecting the
welfare Of the property. X has always
been the policy ~ the management to
pay dividends on che common stock
when earnings warrant such distribu-
ton. and the stockholders therefore
have no reason for complaint It is well
to recall that this concern started out
with no eXtravagant promises regard
ing what it would do for the holders

Of the investment of so cents in the
return half of a railroad ticket between
Chambers street, this city. and Hobok-
en- n. j., the ticket being six years old
at the time Of It's presentation, Mrs.
Isabella M. Littell has secured a YER
dict of $4,000. together with the costs
of the action, as the result of a decision
OF the United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals just handed down on an appeal
taken by the Erie railroad from the
conclusion of the trial court.
Judge Townsend held that the fact
that the Lake Erie & Western railroad
had passed into the hands of receivers
and had been reorganized and subse-
quently named the Erie railroad did
not lnvalidate the return half of Mrs.
Littell's ticket. no matter how ancient
it might be. He also finds that the YER
