Decline in Prices and Sweeping Away
of Profits of Business.

New York, Aug. 19.-The decline in
some time past continued during the
past week, with many securities reach
ing their lowest quotations in years.
Successive waves of liquidation dur
ing the last few months have swept
away the profits of years and have
made the stock market extremely SEN
sitive and vulnerable.
The contributing causes to the sit
uation have been and are the fears Of
a further restrictive campaign against
corporations by the next congress and
the legislatures of various states; high
or rates for money, with reduced sup
ply of available funds; apparent indif-
ference to the decline in stock prices
on the part Of interests with large cap
ital investments at stake; visible signs
Of weak spots in the trade situation.
and monetary conditions that preclude
any hope of immediate aid from Eu-
rope for United States business enter
prises or stock market operations.
Last week began with the market
under cloud. Liquidation had not
run it's course even after the ten and
fifteen points decline of the preceding
week. The heavy reduction in loans the
previous Saturday hardly compensated
for the large loss in cash, and with an
other government report on the Stand
ard Oil company published on Mon
day Wall street began the week nerv-
Gus and apprehensive Combined with
this were the expressions Of a cabinet
member concerning the proposed plan
of prosecution of corporation managers
who violate the law.

not know how long, their shares would
be immune from attack. Other con.
tributing causes We're the telegraphers'
strike and the receivership for the

prehensiOns.

New York, Aug. 10. Leslie NJ.
Shaw, eX-secretary of the treasury, au-
thoriZes the following interview on the
present financial and industrial condi-
tons: Our farms produce more than
$500, 100000 per annum, and the pros.
pect is good for an average crop. Our
mines yield more than $1,50O,OOO, 900
and our forests more than S1,O00,0O0,-
wealth has been exhausted The out
put of our factories. in other than
food products, is $12OOO,OOO0O and
no fires have been eXtinguished. The
railways earn more than $2,0OO,0OO 900
and they are all in successful opera
ton.
No Logical Reason for Trouble.
"1he pay rolls Of our factories and
railways aggregate approximately So
SOC, 100000, and the scale Of wages has
not been reduced, In other words, the
real sources of the peoples wealth
have not yet been affected, and the
ability of industrial concerns to pay
dividends is not measured by the mar
ket price of their stocks. Logical rea-
sons for serious conditions are there
fore wanting. Psychological reasons
are never wanting.
People Can Have What They Want.
IF l judge correctly the people will
have exactly what they expect. If
those who have money in the banks
withdraw it and lock it up; if the
banks refuse to grant accommodations,
and if the consuming public declines
to place orders, then we will very soon
witness the effects Let these who
think that times of disaster follow each
other at regular intervals bear in mind
that this country never yet expert
enced a period of severe depression
that was not traceable to financial Or
economical agitation or legislation, and
usually to both.

husband having served I'm the Civil War,
