Upward Movement Continued.

The week began with continuance of
the upward movement which has suffered
but slight interruption since its inception
in June a check came on Thursday and
again on Friday. when the furry created by
the sensational advances in Reading result
ed in a general setback, not. however, untll
new high records had been made by several
Of the most active issues. These Included
Union Pacific. Reading, Erie common ana
second preferred. United States Steel. pre-
ferred. and American Smelling.
To the less active list might be added ILL
nois Central and Delaware and Hudson.
The rise in Union Pacific served to call re-
ncwed attention to the position of that
property. Reports credit the Union Pacific
management with the sale of a part of its
Northern Securities holdings at a price
much above their original cost, but there is
excellent authority for the statement that a
very large share of these same assets re-
mains TO be marketed.

fractions Relatively Strong,

The traction stocks were relatively strong
on buying from commission houses, with
local political Affiliations. Unofficial reports
of a favorable character bearing upon the
peace negotiations were rife in the last
hour and 4 fairly heavy buying movement
i'm the United States Steel stocks helped to
rally the list. There Were sympathetic ad-
vauces In Tennessee Coal and Republic Iron
and steel
Full rccoyerieS were made by most OF the
active issues Reading being a notable eX-
c,ptfun. with a net loss of ia points. To
an extent. at least, the improved tone or
the market resulted from the showing
made by the weekly bank returns. The
loss in cash was less than had been eX-
uecttd and loans showed a decrease. The
one important railroad return for the day
was that of Atchison with an increase in
net earnings for July Of S5SGoO0. Total
sales today of bonds par value, 81 $40 900

The Peace Negotiations.

The progress of events at Portsmouth has
naturally been followed with interest, a
feeling inspired more by sentiment than
actual concern. There has been more talk
OF Russian or Japan loan here, but bank
ers declare that any peace requirements Of
the conteuding nations could be financed
here in part ON reasonable terms.
Europe, more particularly London, bought
on balance during the week and the field
for American securities abroad is steadily
widening. Additional evidence of this is
found I'm the proposed listing of Pennsylva-
MIA railroad shares on the Berlin. Hamburg
and Frankfort exchanges and in the steady
absorption on a limited scale of our stocks
I'm France.

In the past few months the point has been
made clear that the great financiers either
think that the public is wiser than it was
or believe that the public has rights which
must be no longer brazenly ignored Refer
ence to this changed attitude has been made
in these articles and it is reflected by the
form of bull arguments heard For in
stance, such sensational advances as those
in Great Northern preferred and Northern
Pacific have not been accompanied by the
conventional rumors habitually employed
by the great manipulators. All that has been
said and proven to be true is that Mr. Hill
and his friends have been buying these
stocks because they thought them cheap
even at the high prices. That has led TO in
vestigation of the assets, actual and poten-
tial, of the two companies, and the exhibit
is gratifying. The value is there The in
siders acknowledge it freely and at the
same time do not urge the public to buy
This, be 1t noted, is not part of a deep
game. In the same manner the Union Pa
cific insiders have not said their stock was
cheap at $135 a share. They have said that
it may not be dear, but 1t is not cheap, and
no man who buys il today can afterWard
say he was induced to buy it by conscience
less spectators. The insiders have told
why Union Pacific well worth S125 a
share, but that is ALL Even Mr. H. H Rog-
ers has been governed by conservatisms
and regard for the public of late. He has
been asked, for example, about AmaIga-
mated Copper Those who asked him would
have bought the stock If he said so and IL
he had manipulated it the public also would
have bought. But he has contented him
self with pointing to the excellent condition
of the copper trade and has expressed his
belief that In due time the prosperity of the
copper trade would be reflected by the price
OF Amalgamated Copper stock. This was
not a tip for stock gamblers 1t was prob
ably the truth. For that reason, no matter
what happens, there can be little talk In
the future of new crime of Amalgamated.

The Industrial List.

In the Industrial list the interesting fea-
turc of the week was the strength OF United
States Steel preferred. That stock is
firmly established as the barometer OF the
steel and iron trade, and its advance to a
new high level is coincident with the state
ments Of authorities In the trade that the
coming year is expected TO be the greatest
in the history of the trade. The common
shares have moved in sympathy with the
preferred and II IS a matter OF general be-
lief that large blocks of this issue have
been Withdrawn from the market.
The four advances in refined copper dur
ing the week, bringing the price of metal
within a fraction of a cent per pound of its
highest quoted value reflects a satisfactory
condition prevailing in that Industry and
accounts, in great measure, for the strength
Of ANA lgamated Copper shares

U. P. and "Penpsy" Stocks.

Further evidence of the, close alliance eX-
isting between Union Pacific and Pennsyl-
vauia railroad interests offered during
the week in the announcement that a COM
prchensive traffic agreement had been ar
ranged between the two systems with the
concurrence of the interests which DOM
mates the HilI. Morgan and Vanderbilt
properties. Whatever the merits or motives
back of Readings spectacular advance, the
speculative public has finally begun to re-
gard the movement with some dstrust. This
i largely because of the belief that the
stock has advanced at rate out of pro-
portion TO its present value and that the
methods of those responsible for the ad-
vance have created an awkward market sit
uaJion.
The Erie issues have fulfilled the prophe-
cies Of the interests which came into active
control during the last two years. The
roads possibilities as feeder to any one
of the greater lines represented in its direc-
torat- have been an undeHiable factor in the
increased value of its securities.

Because the attractiveness of mystery
never diminishes Wall street hears more
mystery talk in connection with stock
movements than any other kind particu-
larly when such movements are entirely
speculative. The professionals sneer at it
and have a habit of referring to a stock
mus tnE, aIeaseu as seiliilg mYslefy on, as
all over as being "ex' mystery, parodying
the familiar "ex' dividend; but fo rail- that
they bite quite as often as tn cpublic. Mr.
keene uses this mystery attraction quite
often. and Mr.. Thomas F. Ryan knows to
an eighth of point how far he may use
it in the stock market.

'Mk. STEINER NOT IN IT
SAYS HE HASN'T THE TIME TO RUN
 N.ae FOR MAYOR.
Thss Leaves Three Averred Candidates Forbes, Teague and Randolph,
 With Jackson and Sullivan FsAts fin Reserve.


 "on account of the press of my pro- fessionai business. I cannot afford to enter the race for Mayor" In these words Major R. E. Steiner last night set at rest all further dis cussion of his candidacy for Mayor of Montgomery and his statement will greatly simplify the situation so far as many persons are concerned. Major Steiner was in New York when the mayoralty campaign began to warm, but his friends persisted in tho statement that he would be a candi- date and his return was watched with interest. He came honfe several days ago and still left the public in doubt by saying that he was considering the matter of entering the race.
 Alderman J. Kirkman Jackson said yesterday that he had not altered his plans about becoming a candidate for Mayor. [,
 But there is plenty of time" he added T have been too busy to con- slider my plans. I will probably have something to say in few days"
 Alderman J. J. Sullivan says he will undoubtedly be in the race. He was out of the city several days and de- clares that he almost lost sight of the situation. He intimates that he desires to get better line on the situation before he formally announces.
 Meanwhile friends of Capt. A. G. Forbes, Alderman W. M. Teague and Judge Francis c. Randolph. the three candidates who have announced, are busy. They are losing no time in ad- vising the voters of the candidacy of their men.
 It is expected that within a few days a number of candidates for Aldermen from the seven wards will announce their intention. It is probable that there will be as many as five or six candidates from each ward.

New Conl Shnft Mine

The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Rail road Company has started work on opening a new coal shaft mine near Enslcy west of this city. The new mine will be equipped with the latest improved machinery and the output of the shaft will be heavy.

A. J. Cox, white, watchman on the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. on the Twenty-fourth Street crossing in this city, Is in hospital in a dangerous condition, the result of injuries on the head and face inflicted by unknown parties with a shovel. It Is believed that negroes committed the crime and already one negro has been arrested on suspicion. The assault was made from all indications for the purpose of rob bery, watch worn by the watchman being missing and his pockets being turned inside out. The indications are that Cox was asleep when the assault was made on him and he hardly knew what struck him. There is very little hope for recovery.

For AItman's Place.

There promises to be lively contest for the position of chancellor of the northwestern chancery division, made vacant by the recent death of Chancel- Tor J. J. Altman. The applicants arc: A. H. Benners and Sterling A. Wood two we'll known local attorneys. The friends of the former predict that he will land the plum which he seeks. They contend that if the gentlemen was competent to fill the position tenn porarily during the illness of the de- ceased chancellor he is in every way qualified to fill out the unexpired term of Judge Altman. MT Woods friends are making a hot fight for him. and they appear confident that he will be appointed by Acting Governor Cunning ham.
 Frank Deedmeyer states most em- phatically that he is not an applicant for the office. nor does he seek 1t.

FIREMAN F. p. KING DISCHARGED
BY CHIEF SHULTZ REINSTAT.
ED BY COMMITTEE.
Discharged for INSTRUMENTATION, but
Fire Committee Thought There
Was Only Misunderstanding.

Discharged by Chief Shultz of the
fire department for INSTRUMENTATION,
+ p. King, driver of No. 9 wagon, was
1einstated by the fire committee a.
transferred to No. 9 station by the
chief. He formerly worked at head
quarters. He has the reputation Of
being an efficient fireman, and is we'll
liked by his companions. Chief Shultz
himself gave no other grounds for his
discharge than that of insubordina-
ton, but as this could not be toierat-
ed in AN organization like a fire de-
partment, he felt called upon 10 let
him out. The trouble, however, seems
to have resulted from a misunder-
standing rather than anything else.
1t seems that the chief has given
orders that the exercise hour shall
be 4 o'clock in the afternoon Last
Sunday afternoon King secured per-
mission from Assistant Chief A. c.
Briner to leave the station at 2
O'Clock instead of a. Chief Shultz
found him away from the station at
the former hour, and asked him about
it, with the result that he decided to
discharge King The latter went at
once to Mayor H. King White about
the matter. A meeting of the fire
committee. composed of Aldermen
Fox, We'll and Clement. was called to
investigate the matter. Fox and
We'll responded to the call, and after
hearing both sides OF the trouble, de-
cided to reinstate King, who Is said
really to be one of the most efficient
men on the force the committee be-
lieving that the trouble had arisen
more from misunderstanding than
anything else.
