GREAT CRISIS IS
DUE, SAYS FISH
WELL KNOWN RAILROAD MAN
PREDICTS DISASTER
Declares New York Stock Exchange
Has Become a Mere Playthlns
Z of Managers Of cllques
and Pools
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Stuyvesant
Fish, in statement written for the
Journal of Commerce, declares a great
Industrial crisis is due and there are
many indications of its being imminent
Despite he unprecedented output Of
gold,' Mr. Fish writes, money is dear
the world over, and dear because Of
high prices and activity in trade.
"Other causes for dear money are
found In the fact that Great Britain
has not fully made up it's losses in the
Boer war; that japan and Russia, par
ticularly the latter, have scarcely began
to recover from the effects of their war
and that within the past year there
have been tremendous losses of capital
due to the calamities in San Francisco
and Valparaiso"
Turning to our country Mr.. Fish
writes that New York, especially that
part of it known as "Wall street." has
absorbed and is absorbing more than
its share of the loanable fund.
OF the stock exchange Mr.. Fish says:
THE New York stock exchange has
ceased to be a free market where
buyers and sellers fix prices through
the ebb and flow of demand and supply
and has become the plaything of a few
managers of cliques and pools to such
an extent that for months past every
announcement of increased dividends of
stock distribution and of rights has
been met by fall in prices.
Investors Distrust Stock Exchange
THE investigating public are and re-
main out of the market not because of
ventures in industrials, in electric rail-
ways or in suburban real estate-the
speculation in each of which was
checked months ago-nor yet because of
the more recently pricked bubble in
mining shares but simply because of
the distrust which even those possessed
OF ample means have of the methods of
corporate finance now in vogue in New
York.
THAT Europe shares this distrust of
those methods is shown by it's outcry
against the misuse of American finance
bills"
Writing of the political possibilities,
Mr.. Fish says that so far as the political
parties are concerned no crisis are con-
cerned and no crisis can arise before
the presidential contest of 1908.
He says further:
II take it, however, that your inquiry
as to a political crisis relates to other
matters, and in that sense a political
crisis is due and think coming on.
Indeed, ii seems to me that we al
ready are embarked on a long needed
moral and financial reformation which,
like the religious reformation of the
middle ages, will through much cruelty.
work out good in the end. To the need
OF such reformation the public are
fully awake"
The election of Mr.. hughes, Mr.. Fish
says, shows the temper of the people
in this state, and he declares it is
vastly stronger elsewhere.
The selection by Mr.. Hughes of Mr..
Keep as superintendent of banks
proves, according to Mr.. Fish, that the
governor recognizes the public demand
for moral financial reforms.
1--WE as yet see but the beginning
Time will work out the end" writes
Mr.. Fish, in conclusion.
