.SAENGERBUND HAS
FINE OPENING
Initial Fall Concert Is
Well Received.
WORK OF JOHANNES MIERSCH
Excellent Songs by Mr.. Wiley, Whose
Baritone Delighted His Audience.
Three Other Soloists.

Seldom i'm the history Of local musical
entertainments has more delightful
concert been given than that which
served last night to Open the regular
season of the washington Saengerbund.
The concert was given ia the clubhouse,
and long before 5 o'clock the hall was
filled with members and their friends.
Included I'm the list of artists were
some OF the best-kuOWn musicians in
Washington. and e is safe TO assume
that were one 70 attempt a selection
Of the best number on the program it
would prove a difficult task
Much interest attached To the first
public appearance in Washington Of Jo-
names Miersch, viOlinist. and Joseph
Henry Wiley, baritone. Both have but
recently Joined the local music coterie,
and II their respective receptions last
night may be taken as an evidence.
their future appearances viii be among
the most conspicuous events Of the sea
Master Of the Violin.
Mr.. bIiersch came to Washington as a
member OF the faculty Of the University
Of Music. Although he has not been
heard before ne comes with the plaudits
of many other cities and should he leave
the Capital now be would nave those OF
Washington TO add TO the list. His mas
terry of the violin might, indeed, be said
80 be complete In breadth and beauty
OF tone hc has been surpassed by few, II
any artists who have visited the Capital
and MS numbers brought forth storms
OF applause
The selections played by Nh AIiersch
were an Albamblatt Of wagner and
Wien1usWskis "POlOnatse Briiliaute. "
AT the conclusion OF these the applause
was so great that Mr.. Miersch responded
with Pierrue familiar 'f5eTenade. The
COMPOST zion has rarely been played so
beautifully. Mr.. Miersch gave q almost
a new reading SO pronounced was his in
diyidual conception.
4Ir. Wiley was equally well received
and included IN his songs Massanet's
Vision FalEf and Chadw.ck's Allah %
Mr. wiley has g baritone voice Of much
beauty and MS work last night before
the Saengerhund was noteworthy. He
viii be valuable addition 70 the local
music world and observation-disclosures win
anticipate further appearances.
Those who participated in the rest Of
the program are wei known musicians,
including Mrs. Fanny AT Lee Gage. So
prau0i Mrs, Blanche Muir Dalgleish.
cOnualtO: Charles Myers, tenor, and
Eric Rath. pianist
Mr. Rath created a most favorable inn
preston tn his reading OF Schumann' s
"PapillOus. He Is one OF the foremOst
pianlsts ia Washington and during the
short time be has been before the public
hr, Rath has won host OF admirers.
stronghold he has on the local public.
Mrs Gage, Mrs. DaIEieish, and Mr..
Myers sang so we'll that none OF them
was allowed TO go until the customary
encore had been given. All were in
splendid voice.
As usual. the chOruses by the Saenger-
bund formed one OF the most cOuspicu-
Gus features OF the program The music
was under the Ole direction OF Henry
Xander. who furnished the accompani-
ments.

NEW HIGH LEVEL IS
REACHED BY MARKET
Close Observers See Prosperity
is in Store
CROP CONDITIONS GOOD
Gross and Net Earnings of Railroads
Have Held Up Wonderfully.
Copper Prospects Bright
er-FinanciaI Gossip.
BY w. C. NICHOLAS.

New York, September 10--It looked two
weeks ago as if the top of the stock mar
ket had been reached. The rather sharp
advance caused many to predict that
prices were dumping the top" These
same persons during the long decline
would predict at each new low level that
prices were "scraping the bottom" Just
as that market went through the bot
tom at that time to a new bottom, so
after the break of Tuesday a week ago
it proceeded to climb and bumped through
the top to a new high level.
The last Tuesday in August saw a sharp
decline, while on the first Tuesday in
September there was an advance equally
as sharp. Prices closed at the highest
of the year The average price of TWEEN
ty active railroads was ten points higher
than the price for the same roads on the
corresponding date of 1903.
The swing in the market then was
downward while the swing now is up
ward. year ago every one thought
prices were too high, today a majority
still think so hut conditions have chang
ed. Then the business depression showed
no sign of ending, while today the end
is in sight and In fact the close observers
OF conditions find on every hand general
signs OF business revival. These men are
discounting this revival in the stock mar
ket as they discounted the depression.
They believe the country is on the high
road to greater prosperity anC conse-
quensIy are buying stocks expecting to
sell them, not at prices a dollar or two
higher share. but $40 and 20 per share
more.
These big men have been buying for
some time with the result that the stock
market is almost bare of stocks around
the present prices. Purchasers are forced
to bid above the market to get stocks.
The layman asks How do these men get
this advance Information of conditioner"
The answer Is simple. They send out
special agent to study conditions. Bank
ers learn through their correspondents
scattered throughout the country; rail-
road men through their agents; manufac-
turers through their statesmen. The bank
err has the use not only of the informa-
tion of his correspondents, but Of that
gathered by the railroad president and
the manufacturer. An example in point:
A rich man has purchased during the
last two months $4,000 shares of steel
common and 10000 shares of steel PREFER
ed. Upon being asked why he had done
so he replied, ct sent a specialist to ev-
cry steel plant of the corporation. An
other visited the big consumers; another
made a trip through the cotton belt, an
other through the wheat and corn sec
lions, and others made studies of differ
ent railroads needs. Their combined re-
ports proved to me that I could double
my money by purchasing these stocks
The condition of the steel trade is better
than reported: the crops will be good
sentiment everywhere Is better. l know
this from my own agents and feel salts
fled OF what the future will bring" This
man is but one of the many moneyd men
of Wall Street
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1904-09-11
Steel Stocks Up.

In speaking of the price of steel shares
an expert say: "Steel stocks are up to
above 10 for the common and above "
for the preferred and even the steel men
are asking why?
'This is because the steel men and
other trade people have narrow views.
!, hat is under the market for steel and
steel shares at the present time as a
sustaining factor is exactly what was
nj the top Of the market when the steel
shares were going down, and that Is the
bord market
"The railroads consume 40 per cent OF
the steel used in this country when, as
last year, the railroads have reached the
lmi. of their borrowing capacity or rain
err the investor has reached the limit OF
his buying capacity the railroads nao
10 shut down in their purchase of steel
but they continued to use up steel 10
greater extent than ever before In the
history of this country.
How the investment markets nave re-
covered their equilibrium, the bankers
