RAILROADS AND MARKET.

While hundreds of brokers
were cheering at the close of the
trading on the New York Ex-
change over the end of the panic,
the four railroad presidents whom
Mr.. Morgan had asked President
Roosevelt to meet were in con-
ference In New York.
They finally decided not to go
to Washington, for the reason
that all the railroad managers in
the country are not in perfect ac-
cord and they could not secure
a consensus of opinion on what to
suggest to the President.
The result of the rally in the
market shows that the 20 leading
railroad stocks which so sharply
declined Wednesday and Thurs
day made net gain of $3.50 a
share, almost half the total loss
of the two preceding days.
Thomas F. Ryan helped to save
the situation. He is said to have
bought S4,0OO,000 worth of Sc
curities when at the lowest level.
The endurance displayed bT
the New York brokerage houses
during the panic is said to have
been unprecedented.

New York Especially .-Messrs. Nc
Crea, Mellen, Hughitt and Newman,
the four railroad presidents for
whose visit to the White House ].
Pierpont Morgan arranged before his
departure for Europe, held a confer
ence at the Grand Central Station in
this city. The whole situation was
canvassed with great care, and it
was finally decided not to go to
Washington.
1t is understood that the reason
for this conclusion was that the four
gentlemen involved Std not feel that
they had any proper mandate from
the railroad corporations to repre-
sent them. They felt that they could
not assume the position of q self
constituted commission to formulate
or present the views of the hun
dreds of railroad companies, which
in turn are owned by millions of
shareholders. They recognized that
the railroad managers OF the United
States are not themselves in perfect
accord, and that until some method
could be adopted for securing a con-
sensus Of opinion a visit to the Presi-
dent would be idle. At the conclu-
presidents left for their homes.
From another source IL was learned
that the presidents were utterly un-
able to agree on a statement as to
what position should be taken. 1t
was held by at least one of them that
as no invitation to the White House
had been given to them by President
Roosevelt and that he had said mere
ly that he would see them if they
came, they would be put in the posi-
tion of suppiiants asking the Presi-
dent to modify the attitude of the
federal government toward the rail-
roads. Upon the other hand, If they
went to Washington at the invita-
ton of the President they would be
on equal ground with him and could
discuss the railroad situation without
embarrassment
Thomas F. Ryan, when asked his
opinion about the nesting arranged
by Mr.. Morgan between the Presi-
dent and the heads of the great rail-
roads of the country, said:
Il believe that If Mr.. Morgan's
visit to the President is followed up,
as it should be, by all of our great
business interests, it will do much
good.
II also believe that the Presidents
attitude toward corporations is much
misunderstood by the general public.
1t is unfair to assume that it is his
desire to hamper the business inter
ests of the country / am, however,
convinced that he purposes to enforce
the laws as he finds them upon the
statute book, and think the sooner
the business interests Of the country
conclude to go to work to aid the
President in solving the difficult prob
lens that confront him every day,
the sooner confidence will be restored
and the business of the country move
on without interruption. So far as
general business is concerned, the
only fault to be found with it is that
it is too active"
