WALL STREET Still SILKY
RuMoRs OF BUSINESS DEPREs.
SION AND HARDENING OF
MONEY RATES.

New York, Aug. 1S.-The course OF
yesterdays stock market was marked
by extreme irregularity, with opera
tions on a slightly reduced scale and
limited in the main to the active is
sues. The lowest prices Of the day
were touched in the final hour, where
persistent rumors of threatened
failure in banking circles we're cur
rent. Aside from the encouragement
which Wall street saw fit to derive
from the Forthcoming public speeches
of President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft, the days developments were for
the mcst part adverse. Early in the
session reports coupled the name of
very large Western manufacturing
concern with impending insolvency.
The securities of this corporation fell
abruptly, as they had done on the pre-
vious day, losses ranging from 4 to y
points or more in the common and
preferred shares. Sentiment was fur
ther affected by dispatches from vari-
Gus out-of-town points, most of which
told of business depression and in
creased hardening of money rates.

decision handed down by the railroad
commission yesterday on complaint
lodged against. the road by Nicholas

The commission found that in some
cases passengers were carried free
over this road, and in many cases less

have to pay freight. 1t was also dis
closed that the company did not pub
lish tariff schedule, as is required
by law.
At the hearing month ago Mr.. Con-
nor, through his attorney, set up the
defense that his road was not a COM
mon carrier, and hence not subject to
regulations. In handing down its de-
cision yesterday the rate commission
declared the road to be a common
carrier.
The commission ordered that the
rates on lumber, which were declared
extortionate, be reduced from SIS and

$3.50 a car.

GIGANTIC Iij,lI PAPER
COMBINE FORMING
EVERY PAPER MILL IN MlNNEso.
ia, WISCONSIN AND MlcHl-
GAN IN DEAL.
TRUST TO MAKE GOOD THREAT

Appleton, Wis, Aug. IS. = The In.
ternational Paper company is pehlnu
the print paper merger which is no"
being brought to a successful close.
This much was given out by manu-
facturer who stands high in the paper
trade and who has mills which will en-
ter the merger.
The informant goes further than
that. He says that every print paper,
manila fiber, sulphite and ground
plant in Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Michigan will be taken into the gi-
gantic company. He says that options
are now held on practically all OF the
mills. He added that within twelve
months the International will control
the print paper market of the United
States. To do this the company will
expend from $3O,OO0O0O to. $50,0o0,-
900 in buying up the plants in the Mid
die West.
Hanrahan at the Helm.
To John G. Hanrahan of New York,
who successfully engineered the merg-
ing the twenty-five mills in the Ameri-
can Writing company and the thirty
two mills IN the International Paper
company, belongs the credit for the
Western merger.
The manufacturer puts himself on
record as stating that the price of
print paper will advance to 4 cents to
the jobber and cents to the small
buyer within two years.
When the General Paper company
was dissolved by Judge Sanborn of
the United States court of appeals at
st. Paul on June 16, 1906, the state
nlent was openly made by members of
the alleged trust that the press of the
country, which had fought the social
ed trust, would regret it. This time OF
regret is said to be in the near future,
when the impending deal will have
been consummated and the Interna.
tional, which will then control the
print paper market of the United
States, will be able to arbitrarily fix
it's own prices.
Dodge Antitrust Law.
There are seventy-eight print paper
mills in the United States, and the alb
sorption of the mills of the Middle
West by the International, in addition
to its present great holdings in the
East, will give it the control of over
two-thirds of the print paper plants in
the country, and the consumer will
pay the fiddler.
