BULLS AND BEARS

NEW YORK, July fO.-wellcredited trade
reports are now to the effect that pig
iron seems to have reached the turning
point, II 1t Is proper so to characterize q
change from what competent judges have
believed for the last two months to be only
a temporary lull. Authoritative comment
fortnight ago began to be to the effect
that there was a slight improvement In SEN
timent IN the iron trade. where II senti-
ment Is not everything it means very much.
There Is now reported very decided In
crease In inquiry from railroad equipment
manufacturers, car and locomotive build
ers. machine and electrical equipment shops
and toolmakers with what Is reported to
be serious testing OF the market by large
dealers who find that prices are firm at
the declines that have taken place. Man
while the business in finished products Is
good. with a continuation Of large orders
for steel rails and structural shapes. The
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company has
placed second order for 5000 tons with
the American Bridge Company. making
$4,000 tons placed SO far by the Rapid
Transit company. and more to come. In
rails 1t Is reported that the Great Northern
has placed an order for $4,000 tons with
mill in the central west. and that the
Spokane Northern railroad has ordered
$4,000 tons from an eastern mill.
These are tie largest items noted, but
smaller orders made a large aggregate
Such a situation and such an outlook as all
this Indicated will go far to explain what
is asserted to be the bulliShneSS of in
siders' on the prospects of the shares of
the iron and steel companies. 1t is said
that the United States Steel Corporation is
earning no wfully $10OOO,O00 month net.
and 1t is believed that for the last six
months Of this year the net earnings will
aggregate $7O.0O0,OOO. The crop promises
undoubtedly have much to do with the pres
ent conditions In the iron and steel bust
ness.

Today's Predictions,

Predictions today fixed upon net earnings
In the close neighborhood of s30.O0OOOO 1t
Is considered of some significance that the
transactions in the common stock were par
ucularly animated and that there was
some little discussion with regard to the
possibility OF a resumption of dividends on
that issue
The Southern Iron and Coal stocks were
again firm. but somewhat less active than
l9st week. Colorado Fuel and Iron. the
Railway Equipment stocks and AmaIga-
mated Copper were all strong. There was
nothing at all in the occurrences over Sum-
day OF Importance relating TO the market
at large or TO any special securities. The
London stock market also had an irregu-
lar tone. and the fairly active operations
here for foreign account were without sub
stanttal results on balance.
In the commodity markets the main fea-
ture was another extremely sharp rise In
cotton. but seemingly the sensational oc-
currenCes in that direction had small infiu-
ence in the dealings IN securities. The
grain market was relatively quiet pending

Irregular and Uncertain
Moves Noted Today.
SPECULATIVE CLIQUE
TRANSFERRED IT'S INTERESTS
FROM U.P.To. U. S. STEEL.
Other Railway Stocks Showed Declines
However, Erie and N. P. and
C. p. Shares Were Firm.

NEW YORK. July 10.-Unusually irregu-
lar and Uncertain movements were OBJ
served in todly's stock market. and 1t was
characteristic of the traits and tendencies
prevailing in the current speculation that
the most commonly accepted explanation
OF the Gty's conflicting movements was
one to the effect that certain very large
speculative clique which has been oper-
ating on the long side of the market had
transferred its interests from Union Pacific
into the United States Steel shares.
AT all events Union Pacific and a num-
Der OF other stocks which have recently
been prominent in the market. declined
over point during the forenoon ses-
sion. in which time the United States Steel
shares advanced extensively on very large
transactions. In explanation Of the selling
of Union Pacific 1t was said that the liqui
dalton in that instance had been induced
by the receipt of information that 1t had
been decided to make no alteration in the
dividend Df 10 stock

Dividend Rumors.

Explicit and official statements on ques-
lions Of this kind are invariably well-nigh
impossible to obtain. and it is highly proba-
BILE that today's rumors respecting the
Union Pacific dividend were set on foot
entirely by the course of the stocks itself.
Other railway stocks which showed de-
Clines approXimating that in Union Pa
CihC were Baltimore and Ohio, Reading
and St. Paul The Baltimore and Ohio di-
vision is likewise due for declaration. and
In that instance the pressure upon the
stock was not accompanied by any sug-
gestiOns that there might be disappoint-
ment at the rate ordered.
Notably firm features of the railway list
were the Erie stocks. Northern Pacific and
Canadian Pacific. Except that Brooklyn
Rapid Transit enjoyed its customary Mon
day morning opening advance there was lit
tie OF interest In the dealings In the local
traction shares The exceptional strength
and activity OF the United States Steel
stocks seemed to be based largely on expec-
tations and forecasts of the showing which
the company will make for the ended sec
ond quarter OF its year.

NINE KILLED BY AUTOS.
Many Others Manned for Life in New

YORK Sity IN august,
New York, Sept. Forty automo-
bile accidents in and around New
York were reported by the authorities
during August. Nine persons were
killed outright and several others so
badly MANNED that they will remain
cripples for life. In many instances
the chauffeurs escaped arrest by driv
ing rapidly away. In others they were
arrested, only to be released by the
magistrates. A nominal fine was the
severest punishment inflicted, al
though one of the chauffeurs, who hap
pens to be wealthy man, is now I'M
der indictment in Brooklyn for man
slaughter.
James B. Dill, the great corporation
lawyer, in discussing the remedy for
auto lawlessness, made these points:
Automobile legislation Of today is
upon a wrong basis. The millennium
of automobile legislation will come
when all the legitimate users of the
highways get together to protect them
selves against the illegitimate users
The great law of courtesy must be the
essential element of harmony. The
automobilist ought always to be on
the alert to prevent danger to other
users of the highways The horse
man must educate his horse up to the
fpresence Of other users of the high
way.

speed limitations will insure the safe

knife-hence the great number Of
failures to cure. THE KNIFE CAN
NOT CURE CANCER. The ONLY
proven cure is the wonderful CON-
BlNATION OIL TREATMENT used
by. DR.. Bye. This treatment is mild,
safe and does away with painful, dan
serous operations. Dr.. Bye makes a
Cancer-read his words of hope.
the subject of Cancer and Tumors is
world wide; he is universally recog-
nized as the worlds foremost Special
ist in this line, and his words to the
afflicted are worthy of the careful con-
sideration of every one interested.
No need of cutting off a woman's
breast or a mans cheek or nose in a
vain attempt to cure cancer. No use
of applying burning plasters to the
flesh and torturing those already weak
from suffering. Soothing, balmy, aro-
matte oils give safe, speedy and Ger r.
tain cure. The most horrible forms OF
cancer of the face, breast, womb,
mouth and stomach, large tumors. ugly
ulcers, fistula, catarrh, terrible skin
diseases, are all successfully treated
by the application of various forms Of
soothing oils.
DR.. Bye says: Cancer Is durable
disease l have proven this to be a
fact in many thousands of cases. 1t is
not durable by means of the knife, but
by the Combination Oil Treatment,
which not only destroys the life OF the
Cancer and removes it but also drives
every vestige of poison from the sys-
tenn. I can assure any sufferer, whose
case 1 accept, that the result of my
treatment will be successful. Cases
given up by other physicians are often
