Scent Railroad War,

The timid fellows in Wall street are trying to make themselves believe that there Is imminent danger of railroad war in the west. The sparring between J.. l. Hill and F. H. Hartman served to road situation and the outcome of the discussion over this incident is the insis- tent reiteration of the claim that the sev- eral big western railroad system are in a mood to claw each other to pieces. The truth seems to be that the west has out grown its railroads and that new mileage into many sections Is an imperative neces- sity The Union Pacific and Northern Pacific systems are forced by reason of their position on the map to take the lead in new construction. a circums tance which accounts for the thumb biting now going on between the Messrs. Hill and Hartman. In self protection St. Paul threatens to take a hand. while in the northern area the new Canadian line is encroaching on Canadian Pacific territory. In the southwest the railroads had a strong start in the matter of new con- struction and the demand for additional extensions in that section is less urgent at the present time than 1t is further north George Gould Is crowding the Hartman zone in the far southwest and is apparently doing the best he can to disrupt the community of interest west of the Missouri. That he is succeeding Is painfully evident by the powerful align ment against him along his entire front. The Rock Island announced some time

Insurance Grafters in Trouble.

The insurance grafters are looking into the face of a drowning world whichever way they turn The three candidates for district attorney of New York have pledged themselves, one after another, to get after the insurance pirates and prosecute them into the penitentiary. The grafters had a favorite at the outset but he was driven into line and put on rec ord with the others as committed to a campaign for the punishment of the un- righteousness and greedy rich who have been unlawfully profiting through the be- trayal of the trusteeship of other people s money There Is vertically a rattling of dry bones in the insurance camp. In Wall street proper the life insurance scandal has about ceased to have a direct personal interest, although there Is grow ing recognition of the fact that it is one of the underlying causes of popular avoid ance of the stock market at this june ture. There is a feeling in the money section that the abuses revealed will be corrected and that in due course of time the guilty will be punished aresult which will be coincident with a wholesome im- provement in life insurance methods att tended by cheaper and safer insurance for the policy holder. In other words that the sentimental and emotional phase of the revelation will pass away and give place to a legitimate morality and a better, cleaner and cheaper schedule of life insurance.

.0 .vI|ONS IN THt STOCK MARKET Difference of Opinion as to
 Cause of Rise COUNTRY IS PROSPEROUS Remarkable Evidence on Every Side of Wealth in the United States. Steel Corporation a "Ben-
 efcent" Trust.
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, November 4-There is sell dom seen a sharper division of market sentiment between two strong factions than now. It is vigorously held on one side that a great many stocks have been advanced by purely manipulative agencies and held at the rise by artificial means--a process terscly and picturesque ly described as muscle" According to this theory, the entire market at its cur rent range of quotations Is largely artifi- cial, in other words that prices are un- 1ustihably high and that big break must occur before healthful conditions can be restored.
 On the other hand a majority party contends that the market has advanced legitmately on earnings already assured, supplemented by prospective general in creases and that current quotations, in stead of being too high are really too low in most instances, and that still luther improvement must take place be- fore the magnificent business outlook is discounted as speculation usually dis counts we'll defined movements and tides.

Steel Trust Report.

The. quarterly report of the United States steel corporation Is luminously il- illustrative of the splendid general pros perity of the country. It showed net earnings of $S1 ,241, ,ooo for the three months ending September 30 and declared It's eigh- teenth consecutive quarterly dividend of 1% per cent on the preferred stock, mak-
 ing total of $3l.5o per share during the four and one-half years of the company's S existence. In addition thereto a large \n was added to the surplus. Since the organization of the steel trust about Sl25,- 000, 900 has been taken from earnings and put into plants and new construction. The trust is realizing larger net returns on the total volume of business done than any of it's competitors and must continue to do so through good times and bad It is equipped in every way for tho prac- tical carrying out of economies beyond the reach of it's most fortunately situated rivals. It has approximately larger working capital and by reason of its owned transportation lines has big ad- vantage in the matter of raw materials as well as in the distribution of pro- ducts. A resumption of dividends on the common stock may not take place for a year or two but if times continue good holders of common shares will come in for a percentage of the earnings.
 More ana more every uay wal sereet has come to look upon United States steel as an accurate barometer of the business situation, and rightfully so. In the iron trade it is recognized IS distinctly conservative influence. During the life of the corporation 1t has on many trying occasions stood like a rock against de- moralization both in the direction of booms and depression. On declining mar kets it has set the example of cutting down production instead of leading a break in prices. On the other hand 1t has set a pace in manufacture as the best means of checking unhealthy rise in prices, standing out resolutely against temptat ton, come from wherever 1t may.

It is the governor of the iron and steel trade and if the same broad wisdom and sagacity mark it's management In the fu- ture as in the past, iron will never again get Into a state of pauperism. It will al
 ways be king. It will keep In the middle
 of the stream where the going is safest
 As the first among the colossal combna-
 tions to attempt to do business on broad
 and wholesome lines the steel trust
 although four and one-half years old, is
 being pointed to as the best possible
 proof the benifcent results of industrial consolidation Standard oil, the sugar trust, the beef trust and the anthracite coal trust have aimed at monopoly. Their
 methods have been oppressive and their
 pathways are strewn with whitened skele- tons of rivals and competitors crushed
 out of existence. The steel trust on the contrary, while looking out for business in every quarter has steadily pushed a
 live and let live policy and has been care full to avoid either trade or political an- tagonisms In this respect it has been singularly fortunate It has the respect
 of it's competitors and their good will so far as that angelic quality can pre- vail in struggle for dollars.

Lobbies Get Busy.

The Hobbies are preparing to descend upon Washington and they are already putting their literary and other bureaus into operation. The most formidable of all will be the forces opposed to drastic railroad rate regulation. The railroads will be strongly represented and while not in direct combination will probably act in more or less concert. There is a thorough understanding as to what they want as to what they do not want and authorized representatives of the rail- road interests will line up for preserva- ton whenever occasion arises. The other side will also be on deck and 1t is the expectation that the fight will begin inn mediately upon the assembling of Con- gress. The ship subsidy forces are mus tering in considerable strength and &C., cording to the Pacific Mail speculative pool, subsidy bill will be passed at once.
 Those experienced in congressional ways are skeptical on that point and suggest that 1t might be wise for the American

Banks Call a Halt.

The competition for deposits became so strong among the New York banks and trust companies that they resorted to all kinds of expedence to get new accounts. The contest finally grew so warm that some of the older heads got together and called a halt One bank with A,0Oo0oO capital and $1.00O,OO0 surplus went so far as to flood the financial district with liter ature, offering to send around agents to receive daily deposits, and thereby save the customer the trouble of racing around to the bank or having clerk go. This move was looked upon as pressing the limit and a big kick was at once organ ized among the stockholders of tho bank. The protest took the form of cam paign against the management and one day this week the announcement was made that control of the bank had passed into new hands. The disciplinary effect has been most salutary.

ago that it had no intention to add to it's 5000 miles of track but that 1t would devote it's time and energies to the strengthening and upbuilding of property already acquired. Like the St. Paul, Northwestern and Atchison 1t has it's own independence to protect, however, and will always be ready to take its own part in any ruction which might be forced upon 1t. No railroad system in the west Is better equipped with heavy guns than Rock Island. It early provided It. self with a ''big stick" although it's policy
 is that of peace and the lines it seeks are those of least resistence Maybe, after all, the Hill-Harriman overture is not a hamburger of trouble, but rather mere exercise of the voice for the fun of hear ing themselves talk.

Value of Farm Products.

A local bond house in a bulletin to its customers gives the following impressive estimate of the value of the farm pro- ducts of the country this year. and also the revenue which the railroads will drive from the transportation of these commo- dities. The total value of our agricuS tural products as we'll as of cattle and hogs is placed at SC, ,225.oo0. an increase over 1904 of $1, ,So1, ,225,0oo The total reve- nue to the railroads from carrying these products is estimated at $520, 9S9, 1859, an in- crease of $57,S45,S0s over last year.

Situation In Russia.

Views are mixed as to whether the revolution in Russia is a bulish or a bearish development. At first blush the quick acting trading element construed the news as bullish but subsequent ad- vices from the seat of war gave rise to doubts. The path to Russian freedom may run waist deep with blood-not a cheerful spectacle at best to contemplate. Years may elapse before the new Russia is given a quiet and stable government and there is nothing soft or soothing in 100000,000 human beings interlocked in death embrace. One incident of impor- tance to Wall street growing out of this Russian eruption is found in the fact that New York will not be called upon to contribute s20,0OO00o or $25.O0O0,o0O to a new loan. That Is good as far as 1t goes and will leave that much more money in the country.
