Financial L etter

New York, Jan. 30.-The easing of
money rates has not brought any
buoyancy to the stock market and the
upward turn of prices which followed
the end of the year and which was so
soon interrupted has not been resun-
ed. The feeling of confidence that
prosperity showed no sign of diminu-
ton and that the railroads and all
other big corporations were practical
ly sure to continue their enjoyment
of large earning power is still ex-
pressed by financiers, but they point
out that the great need for funds and
the increase in operating expenses
OF corporations, especially railroads,
are matters for serious consideration.
To the more or less critical observer
it would appear that the railroad
arrangements themselves are to blame
for the urgent need of money in which
they find themselves. Several years
ago when traffic became, heavy and
earnings increased the money that
flowed so briskly into the railroad
treasures was used so far as possible
for the benefit of those who were in
terested more in putting up the price
of stocks than they were in conserv-
ing the best interests of the prop
erty. Thus money was piled up in
what appeared to be handsome surplus
accounts; than adorit manipulation
was begun to advance prices in the
stock market and then when the time
seemed ripe increased dividends were
declared and the manipulators started
to sell out their holdings to the pub
lie at top prices. That they did not
have as much success as they wished
in disposing of their heavy lines of 3.
stock is now admitted. For some rea-
son, the bait, allurring as 1t appeared,
was not taken with much avidity
by investors and even now there is
more than one big railroad man who
is still loaded up with shares that he
hoped to sell out long ago. The Wall
Street Spectator was buyer, of
course, as long as he saw, or thought
he saw, where he would be able to get
rid of his purchase at profit in

one of the most frightful ever told in
England and Strauss's score empha-
sizes it at every point. 1t is truly of
fearful import. The senses by turn
ala enthralled, bruised and stunned.
The soul is outraged, the gorge is
caused to rise not alone because of
the spoken word and the living act
upon the stage but by the devilish in
genuity with which the innermost Sc
crets Of the heart and mind of the
participant are laid bare by the Or
chestra. No detail is spared None
who listen can escape the lure and
spell of the appalling exhibition of
genius. i For daring sensationalism
the climax of the piece surpassed any,
thing but the widest imagination. A
beautiful woman SO scantily clad as
to offend the decency of even the most
bold her little body undulating in
lovely curves and falling into sensual
pastures, carrying in her extended
bare arms silver platter on which
lies mans head only a few moments
served from his body upon which
frightful thing she gazes with pierre
ing, longing eyes and to which she adj
dresses torrent of passionate words
of endearment was the gruesome Wis
ion that made the great audience
shrivel with horror. Women were
ready to, faint. Strong men turned
pale. There was stiffness in the
house that had in it something of awe,
something of evil, all of foreboding.
A few minutes earlier a shock of a
different character had been felt when
there was danced measure that was
the acme of lasciviousness. All that
the Little Egypt" had shown in Sc
cret places a ftw years ago, result
ing in more than one scandalous ex-

short time, but his operations we're of

short time, but his operations were of
no assistance to the financier with
his big holdings. 1t was this state of
affairs that caused the concerted effort
to advance prices just after the first
OF the year. That movement appeared
to have good prospects of success but
the pessimistic interviews given out
by John d. Rockefeller, the investi-
cation of the Hartman roads and the
proceedings to restrain the new issue
of the Great Northern stock were too
much for the market to withstand.
Now that the money rate has eased
off to below three per cent, taking
over of stocks to be held for
their interest returns may be resumed
but it probably will be done in cauti-
GUS way. At present there is every
disposition to support the market
against too sharp decline. With
easier money conditions in Europe,
also. it is expected by international
bankers that the foreign demand for
American stocks will improve and
that buying for the other side will con-
stitute an important element of sup
port for New York market on any
important recession from the current
level of prices. The return on several
high class stocks is now so large COM
pared with the market price that the
European speculative investor is
again beginning to make inquiries,
for he likes our stocks on account of
the freedom with which they move
and buys them freely whenever the
yield on the purchase price Is high
enough to meet his idea of fair re-
turn provided he thinks the future
looks favorable enough. Privately
and in the open market banking in
terests have taken large amounts of
stocks off the hands of the weakened
spectators. Securities so purchased
will return to the market slowly, as
it was last week, they take large
amounts of active stocks off the hands
Of the embarrassed or frightened
holders, not because they want them,
but because 1t is their function to step
in at critical moments and buy heavi-
ly. Bond dealers see little comfort in
the future which is not at all bullish
on regular bonds and investment is
sues. It is thought that further ex-

EVEN NEW WORKERS WERE SHOCKED
BY THE LEWDPRODUCT|0N, "SA[OME'

New York, Jan. 3O-All New York
has been set by the ears as result
of the daring and experimenting pro-
duction given at the Metropolitan
opera house last week. 1t was Salome,
one of the horribly realistic products
of the prevented brain of Oscar Wilde
which furnished the inspiration for
the revolutionary composer Strauss
The badly lewd, salicious, brutal,
terrifying exposition of human nature
at its worst which resulted from the
collaboration of these two distorted
master minds presented such a scene
as never before has been disclosed
in a theatre in this country. 1t had
been kicked out of London by the cen
sors who denied its production there;
and the almost unanimous opinion
of those who witnessed its premier pre-
sentation here is that the Londoners

Probably in no other theatre in this

tolerated and probably no other audi

Metropolitan would have sat through
the hundred fearful minutes required
for its presentation. And, to their
credit be 1T said, even these hardened
spectators were shocked to such
degree that Salome may never again
be seen here. The press as unite
condemned it as the most degrading
and immoral spectacle ever seen in
New York and the general public has
unanimously commended the condem-
nation. There is limit even to what
a New York audience will stand and
they have concluded that Oscar Wilde
and Strauss at their worst have over
stepped the mark. Wilde's story is

~ Exports from the United States 10
Cuba in the calendar year 1905 were
larger than in any other year Of our
trade with that island. Imports from
the island fell 10 million dollars below
those OF the high record year, 1906,
this fall being due to reduction in
prices of sugar, of which the quantity
imported in 1906 was greater than in
any earlier year in the history of our
4 trade with that island.
L The total value of exports to Cuba
in 1906, Is shown by figures just com

1912 in 1905. $32,644,s45 in 1904, and
$23,5O4,417 in 1908, the year immedi-
ately proceeding the beginning of the
present reciprocity treaty with Cuba.
Exports from the United States to
Cuba never touched the 20 million dol
lar line until 1892 and 1893, when
under the reciprocity authorized by
the act Of 1890 they averaged % mil
lions in each of the years named. In
1904 the figures dropped to II millions
(: and did not again cross the 20 million
dollar line until 1899, averaging about
"a millions per annum from that time
until the end of 1908. In December of
1903 the new reciprocity agreement
went into operation, and in 1904 the
total was, as above indicated, over 80
, million dollars; in 1905, over "A mil
lions; and in 1906, over 46 millions.
On the import side the values ranged
between so and Is millions per annum
