BaItiInore Provisions.
Stocks ant. Bonds.

New York, Feb. 25.-The stock
market was thrown INTO excitement
again today by the violent speculation
in the trunk lines and Pacific Railroad
stocks, and there was full revival
of the speculation enthusiasm OF the
earlier part of the week, which was
chilled by the break of Thursday con-
sequent upon the feverish movement
in the Southern iron stocks. Rumors
and intimations have circulated for
many weeks i'm Wall Street that the
control of New York Central Chicago
& Northwestern and Union Pacific was
being worked out to a condition OF
perfect harmony if not of identity.
The belief in the substantial basis tol
the New York Central project pointed
TO by this cloud of rumors was the
professcd basis for the excited buying
today Of the stocks concerned Tie
new variation of the story WAS the in
clusion of Pennsylvania in the bcnc-
fits of the project by an agreement
with New York Central for the dlYiS
ion of spheres of operation. 1t Will D@
seen that in its general lines this re-
port follows existing relations amongst
the properties concerned The cons :
uuence of the movement was price
during today's trading of 100 IL FOR
New York Central, 144 rs for Penn
sylvania. 1877 rs for Union Pacific,
and 249 for Chicago d Northwestern.
There are gains elsewhere in the list
reaching a point in some cases, bur
there are also small declines as the re-
suit of the heavy realizing of the day,
and Union Pacific itself closed un-
changed from last night. The bank
statement was regarded as favorable
and rallied the market from its con-
siderable reaction, but the closing was
irregular The decrease in the loan
item of the banks is attributed to The
taking over of loans by the trust com
panies and to transfers due to the lend
ing of foreign banking houses Tit

Mr.. Fleld's Views.

Mr.. Alex j. Field. of this city, speak
ipgvesterday of the bill he had intro
duced in the Legislature, said:
II am profoundly convinced mat
something must be done TO check the
power of that association or llre III
surance companies which Tx ana CON
troll rates. The conditions are such
that there is practically no compctl-
ton i'm the business Of fire insurance
rates but we seem to be in the IRON
grip Of a combination of companies
who fix and control rates. II this
be not true, they Will now nave an
opportunity TO prove it to the peo-
pies represents tives.
TT is serious question. In the
Insurance Commissioners report COW
ering 1902 the last year published.
fire and tornado insurance companies
collected in North Carolina 81, :
$1,000 in premiums and paid back
$1,020,941.57 in losses. This would
seem to leave q pretty good margin
of profit / learn from the Journal
If Commerce that one of these very
same companies pays 40 per cent an
nual dividends to it's stockholders.
and that its stock is quoted at 400
per cent. ] also find from the lnsur-
ance Commissioners report that
another of these same companies now
has o capital stock OF 100000, and
has since it's organization declared
100000 stock dividend, which would
make it's original stock $l00.OOO. or
which for u period of fifty years, its
stockholders have averaged an an
nual dividend in cash or stock of over
81 Der cent. And there are others.
If there were competition I would be
willing for the rates to be adjusted in
this as i'm other business. but when the
rates are fixed arbitrarily by a gigan-
tic association of these companies.

rates ] think it is time for the peo-
pie to look after their own and pro-
