BULLS AND BEARS


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August ga prominent
representative of one of the large railroad
systems said today that the lines with
which he Is connected do not intend to
buy any more equipment during the next
two years. So far as he has been able to
learn most of the large systems will be
very well supplied with equipment when
the orders which have been placed are
filled. According to his information it Will
take some months to complete the orders
now on the books of the equipment manu-
featuring companies consequently he Is OF
the opinion that the public reports received
will indicate that most of these companies
are running we'll up to their full capacity.
He does not see how the business in hand
will be materially affected much before the
end of this year. or course, If the new
orders in the meantime fall Off materially
the reports beginning early next year must.
of necessity, be Of different character.
X
The statement has frequently been made
of late that the United States Steel Cor
poraton has on hand sufficient orders to
keep the plants of the underlying COM
panes in full operation for the rest of this
in new business there may be during the
intervening months will not be reflected in
the earnings for that period. but will be
shown in the returns for the first quarter
and first half Of next year.
X
The railroad official referred to above says
that he thinks what will be true of the
equipment companies and the iron and steel
manufacturing concerns, outlined. will
apply to most of the larger lines of busi-
ness. He Is confident that from this time on
there will be perceptible slowing down in
business all around but that the volume of
work now under contract is so large that
the change will not be specially noticeable
to the public for some months to come. If
this gradual recession is sufficient to relieve
monetary conditions. he believes that
rious depression in business will be obvi-
ated.
L. 8. Berg president of the Mobile, Jack
son and Kansas City Railroad Company,
says that the physical condition of the prop
erty has been materially improved within
recent months. and that the earnings for
July were 20 per cent larger than for July
of last year. Mr.. Berg's assistant Is now
going over the lines of the road, getting de-
tailed data for comprehensive financial
plan. This will be worked out and submitted
to the security holders when monetary con-
ditions warrant such action. The company
recently bought some additional equipment.
and other improvements recently made. 1t
Is expected will substantially increase the
earning power.

The spiritual reserve in the American and English colleges is absurd.
 "The inequalities of classes are brought forward as an argument against a good God. Here you have leisure, money, good surroundings and culture. But God gives these things to you in trust. You must pass them on 10 others. Otherwise you have no true faith in God. There are many ways you can help. There is great dearth of ministers in America and England to- day. Although only those who are called should respond, there are many of you here who are called and should come and do not.
 "In the summer you should go down into the slums by hundreds and work. am interested in your mission in China. Make your work there real and lasting. For you are only stewards, You have the stewardship and not the ownership of this gift of God.

SCHOONER GOES DOWN
Crew of Five Men Barely Escape With
 Their Lives.

Vineyard Haven, Masss Oct. 1S.-The British schooner Demozelle of Parrs- boro, N. S., Captain G. M, Morris, from Guttenburg, N S., for stephen, IN. B., with cargo of 22o tons of coal, was sunk at the entrance to Vineyard sound early to-day by collision with the barge Harrisburg, and the five men on board had hardly time to escape going down with her.
 The Demozelle was entering Vine- yard sound with a fresh breeze from the north and clear weather just as the tug Teaser, Captain Calhoun, was passing out to wing barges Harrisburg and Horace A. Allyn, from Boston for Philadelphia. Captain Morris of the schooner was at the wheel and one man was on the lookout, the other three members of the crew being be- low. The tug passed the schooner all right, but, according to the Demo- zelle's captain, the Harrisburg did not follow the course of the tug and struck the schooner on her starboard bow cutting her down so that she sank ir five minutes. Those on board had just time enough to cut the yawl boat clear from the stern and get into it before their vessel sank.

THE TRIUMPHANT BEARS
WHY STOCKS ARE WEAK
The Copper and Iron Markets and Mistrust and
 Distrust.

New York, Oct. 13.-Events in last
 weeks stock market ran into demor- alization by the end of the week, as a continuation of growing uneasiness
 over the unexplained liquidation and
 the phases of coming business depres-
 sion and reaction as an outcome of
 the money stringency. The bears
 knocked stock prices off on bad ru-
 mors, and the consequence was seen
 in range of prices for a long list of
 securities which is the lowest for the
 present year and therefore for num-
 Der of years past.
 Financial conditions both here and abroad, as distinguished from indus- trial conditions affecting the proper ties whose securities were sold, made prominent factor. Stocks which have been favorities with Dutch hold CTS made precipitate declines, and this had a sympathetic effect on the whole market. The firmness of the New York money market, with loans on call touching 6 per cent. every day until Friday, and with time loans for some periods commanding as high as | T per cent, discouraged holders of se- curities on margin, especially those of the low-priced non-dividend paying class, which were conspicuous in the
 weeks declines. Lenders of money in which these stocks figures as collateral were disposed to restrict it's output
 Many annual reports of railroad conn panies made their appearance during the week and were distinguished by | the uniform complaints of the dear ness of materials and labor, and the Iharassments of restrictive legislation and the decrease in net earning pow CT which follows Monthly net earn igs of railroads bore out the com plaints as to the actual showing in- volved. Copper continued to work lower levels, but authorities in the iron and steel trade expressed confi- dence in it's position and reported sus- tained activity in it's various depart ments. Allowances must be made for | the influence of the disclosures brought out by the New York local traction inquiry, and the financial methods revealed were feared for the public reproduction that might be in
 cited for corporation power, and the distrust already epgendered and likely thus to be aggravated.
 l The further course to be pursued
 by the treasury department in the matter of additional relief measures
 for the money market engages atten- ton, in view of the continued require
 ments of the crop movement in draw ing down reserves of the banks. The upward course of foreign exchange
 also measured another pressure upon
 banking resources in New York, due
 to remittance for redemption of for
 eign holdings of New York city reve.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL CONTROL
Possible That the Struggle Will be
 Taken Into Courts.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-It is possible that the struggle for the control of the H. linois Central railroad between Stuy- vesant Fish and E. H. Hartman may be taken into the courts. Attorneys for MT. Fish to-day were preparing a petition asking the courts to entoin any person or corporation from voting any stock in the annual meeting to be held Wednesday next, which may be shown to be owned or controlled by the Union Pacific railroad.
 The action, it is said, will be brought under an Illinois statute which pro- hibits one corporation from owning stock in another Attorneys for MT. Hartman have already declared, in view of possible proceedings along this line, that the Illinois Central, by req son of its special charter, would be exempt from the operation of this law, even if it were not a fact that railroad corporations are by implication ex- empt from it's operation.
 It is stated that 1t is the intention of MT. Fish to obtain 8 temporary in- junction by which the annual meeting will be delayed until the court can pass on the question involved in the present contentions
