United States Steel as property and a
money Garner is worth a great deal more
today than it was three years ago when
preferred shares were selling around par
and common. at 40 to 90 During the year
1902 the corporation earned 1888 coo, 900 net
on 100000 tons of finished product, the
net profit per ton approximating S16.25.
This years output will be close to II, co., 900
tons of finished product and the margin of
net profit, according to competent authority,
IS more than it was in 1892.
To be ultra conservative make the profit
per ton SO instead of S1625 and we have
S165, 900, 900 net earning for the year.
Since its organization four years ago the
corporation has invested Sl35 100000 to
$40. 100000 in net plant and additional prop
cray, most of which has come from earn
ings. Its working capital IS now supposed
10 be In the neighborhood of $4,000 600.
More than, likely 1t will be considerably in
excess of that before another six months
have passed. possibly Sl00, 900.

account. The per cent dividend on pre-
ferred more than pays the carrying charges
and leaves something over for the cost Of

strongly held theory that Steel common is
about due for a big advance In anticipation
of resumption OF dividends the last half

bull contingent.
A fusion of Tennessee Coal and Iron and

Transactions on the New York Cotton

all of this sum was actually won or actually
lost by the Spectators but 1t went into
the account as paper profits and paper
losses and large part of it figured in
actual winnings and losings. Joe Hoad-
ley. for instance. claimed to have been
carrying line OF 100000 bales. If he tells
the truth his paper winnings on the day
were over 81, 100000. He would probably
discount those figures for cash.
There were many individual instances of

never lose, turned up n bull after the
furry was over, although he had been talk
ing bearish and selling cotton up to the

port. That rise of So a bale on Tuesday
occurred within a period of four minutes
which did not give much harbor room for
operators to turn around in. Those four

The banking interests which tried TO rig
the money market to break the price of
stocks by enforced liquidation having been
defeated in their purpose seem to have ex-
parlenced Il change OF heart. Their meth
DDS of procedure came under the general
definition of coarse work. They were
blood raw and made no pretense of conceal
ment. They went to slug the stock market
by marking up money and by wholesale
calling of loans. This arbitrary and I'M
necessary action was followed by a general
transfer of loans from New York to other
cities and by a sudden thrush of funds
from every quarter. Incidentally prepara-
tons were set afoot for the importations Of
large amounts of gold.
This development compelled the abandon

time the bulls have had the best of it. That

COUNTY TREASURER zE-
MAN REDEEMS LAST OF
RAILROAD. BONDS HELD
BY THE STATE

Manitowoc county is now free from
every form of Indebtedness. This is a
distinction that it has not enjoyed at
any time during the past fort y and more
years Last Friday County Treasurer
Zeman redeemed the last sixteen out
standing refunded railroad bonds for
one thousand dollars each, amounting,
with interest, to Sl6, 800 The aforesaid
sixteen bonds were not due at the time
of their redemption, but would have
matured July l, 1905, However as
the money for the liquidation of the
debt was already in the treasury, it was
decided to redeem the bonds forthwith
instead of waiting another week; and,
accordingly, payment was made. The
bonds were held by the state of Wiscon-
sin.
When the project of building the Lake
Shore q Western Ry., now the Chicago
q North Western, WAS being pushed
some forty years ago Manitowoc county,
desrous of securing the railroad, decided
to raise 1886, 600 to help pay for the
building of the road. Accordingly a
bond issue for that amount was tloated,
one hundred eighty six 90 year bonds of
$1,000 each, and bearing interest at the
rate of seven per centum per annum,
being issued.
During the first twenty years none of
the bonds were redeemed, the county
merely paying annually the interest due
on said bonds until the debt matured
At the time of the maturity of the
bonds the county began refunding the
debt, thereby securing decided reduc-
ton in the rate of interest. Since that
time the principal had been gradually
reduced by the annual redemption of
refunded bonds as these securities
matured until the last outstanding
bonds were taken up last Friday, az
stated above.
The county is now free from debt and
will continue 80 for one month, On
Aug. /, 1905, new bond issue for 1850, :
600 will he hoated in order to provide
money for the erection Of the new court
house. Provision has been made for the
redemption of these in equal install
ments, with interest, during the next
two decades.
