spondence some weeks ago. was also the
part of commendable conservatism.
During the big decline in prices in 1903
it became the fashion to become pessi-
mistic about everything with the Amer
lean stamp. We all admitted that stocks
were selling below their intrinsic values
but we agreed that everything was so
bad in a financial way in this country
that prices could not be regulated by
values. After we were through our spasm
of pessmism, and prices went back again
to the level of values. md then beyond
them, we all got together and told each
other how foolish we had been during
the bear market to let stocks lie so long
ON the bargain tables, Never again would
we allow such a thing to occur. But,
after very short interval the same
thing is occurring again. Pessimism is
again in fashion and we are telling each
other that the prices of stocks are not
to be regulated by values. After this
spasm is over we will again have a fit
of remorse as we did after the bear
market of 1903 The country today Is
immeasureably stronger than it was four
years ago. and immeasureably cleaner in
its business life, and values will again
rule the prices of securities.
Fall In Northern Pacific.
Northern Pacific sold this week nearly
500 below its top price last year, and at
the lowest price that it has sold since it
was released from the Northern Securities
treasury. 1t is interesting to recall that
the highest price paid for Northern Pa
citic stock By Mr.. Keene, when he was
acting for the Morgap-Hill interests in
the fight for the control of the property
in May. 1901, was sl27 The stock was
then paying per cent. Great Northern
showed loss of S130 this week from the
highest price of last year. The accumu-
lation of this stock by the followers of
Mr.. Hill really began in 1904, when the
stock was selling around $3.50. Its low
price in the bear market of 1903 was Sl59.
Those who got into the stock at the low
prices of 1903 and 1904 when Mr. Hill be-
gan to tell his friends about the great
value of the ore lands, have Jared pretty
we'll even if they still hold their stock.
They received rights in 1905 worth about
$50 a share. But those who got in on the
tail end of the Hill campaign. and didn't
get out before Mr.. Hill began cutting

willing to stack his judgment up against
Mr.. Hills on the value of the Hill stocks.
Showed Rare Judgment.
An unprecedented view of the Hartman
operations in the Hill stocks would seem
to show conclusively that Mr.. Hartman
showed rare good judgment in looking
after the interests of the stockholders
of the Union Pacific in selling the big
blocks of Great Northern and Northern
Pacific left over from the Northern Sc
curities dissolution. The skill of Mr.. Har
riman shown in unloading Hill stocks
of a market value in excess of 100000,
900. was a masterful financial feat Since
Mr.. Hartman unloaded the Hill stocks
in the market, the stocks that he sold
for the benefit of the Union Pacific treas
ury have declined In market value many
millions of dollarG The profits that were
thus made for the Union Pacific stock
holders by Mr.. Harriman's foresight were
enough to pay the per cent year extra
dividend from investment income for sew
eral years.
II. H. Rogers was not so foolish after
all in the strenuous efforts he made dur
ing the winter to keep enthusiastic spec
ulators from boosting the price of Anal
gamated Copper. While railway stocks
were being elevated to record prices,
and the price of the copper metal was
going higher and higher to new record
levels, Amalgamated Copper held stead
lily within a narrow range. Big plungers
tried to stimulate a bull campaign in
it-Iawson was one of these-and failed;
and they turned around and tried TO
depress the price, with the idea that
what does not go up ought to go down.
They lost on both tacks. Mr.. Rogers Kept
his thumb on the stock No industrial
stock in the list certainly deserves a
bull movement more than Amalgamated.
The earnings of the mines in the ANAL
gamated company have been enormous
through a long period, and the indications
are that they will hold up to high
level for sometime to come. If the stock
deserved to sell at $3.50 in the last cop
per boom. it deserved to sell at Sl6o in
this BOOM Now that the boom in rail-
way stocks has collapsed for the mo-
ment, and spectators are facing heart
rending losses MIR. Rogers is pretty well
satisfied that he did not help boost Anal
gamated $50 TO $50 higher. Mr.. Rogers
really seems TO be anxious to have ANAL
gamated become an industrial investment
security like Sugar. His refusal to in
crease the dividend beyond the per
cent rate. commented on in this CORE

ton of Sli9 looks pretty low. The strength
of the Great Northern ore certificates,
in the face of continued liquidation in
Hill railways is something remarkable.
Perhaps the Great Northern Stockholders
are selling their railroad stock and put
ting their money into the ore certificates.
Mining Market.
What is the mining market going to do
IL the holders of dividend paying railway
and industrial securities continue to UNI
load them al a loss? The manufacturers
of mining stocks ought to feel pretty well
satisfied Just now that the bnaks haven't
been loanng money on their wares. If the
New York banks had made loans the
past six months on all this mass of min
ing stocks now loose In the market there
would have been a frightful collapse. The
fact that the buyers of these stocks were
obliged to pay cash for them in full has
carried them through this period of enor-
nous liquidation in the big market with
out serious losses. Some of them have
actually been advancing lately. Those
that show declines are stocks like the
Greene issues that have been traded in
long enough here to respond to the trend
of the big market. But the mining mar
ket cannot stand up forever while specu-
lators and investors in railways and in
dustrials are taking big losses. Many of
these new mining stocks have been dis
tributed through stock exchange houses,
and the customers of these houses who
are being telephoned to for margins
every few minutes will have to sacrifice
their mining stocks. One reason why
some of these widely advertised mining
stocks don't show any of the effects of
the liquidation in the big market is that
they have never been distributed. They
are still in the sands of the promoters
and underwriters. The insiders, as much
as they may need money to protect their
seasoned securities, cannot raise any by
the sale of these new mining stocks, be-
cause there is no place to sell them.

ate in easy fashion.
George Trevathan, editor of
the Batesville News, landed the
secretaryship of the senate, de-
feating two opponents.
"Colonel Bill" Childers of

ate.

lock over the selection of a
Speaker. There are six candi.
dates for this position, with Hon.
A. H. Hamiter of Lafayette
county leading, and Hon. H. E.
Ruff of Randolph county bring
ing up the rear.
A measure will shortly be in
troduced requiring that all rail-
roads in the state charge only
two cents a mile for carrying
passengers. This bill will make
the railroads sit up and take no.
tice and there will be a hard fight
over it.
A bill will be presented at this
session amending the notorious
antitrust act so as to exclude fire
insurance companies from its
provisions.
Governor Davis will deliver
his message to the general as
sembly on Friday, after which
Hon. John s. Little will be sworn
INTO office. Gov. Little's inaug-
ural is to be attended by no un-
necessary ceremonies.
Senator r. R. Adams of Grant
county voluntarily resigned his
seat in the senate rather than

from Senator Butt at the last
session of the legislature, but la
ter returned the money. The
present senate would not stand
for him.
