COLLIN ARMSTRONG ON SPECULATION.
Calls Wall Street Most Upright and Useful
Place in the Country.

Collin Armstrong, editor of THE Wall Street
Summary" lectured on The Relation Of Specu-
lstion to Business before the New York Chapter
of the American Institute of Banking. at the New
York headquarters, No. 80 Nassau street, yester-
day Mr.. Armstrong spoke Of the work of GER
tain state and national legislators, who. he said
had undertaken to suppress speculation without
regard to its relation to commercial and financial
methods and requirements.
THE situation has become acute, said Mr..
Armstrong, because of the intensity of the agi-
tation and the probability of the enactment of un-
wise and detrimental laws. II some Of the meas
under discussion in the Legislature should
become laws and be placed upon our statute books
the business OF country would become para
lyzed and then driven into other countries He
continued:
The merchant, manufacturer. banker or profess
siopal who goes outside Of his regular bust

yet not operating because he wishes 10 assist in
the work of marketing commodities or because the
money will help to develop the properties. COM
jeopardy his business professional standing
and future. He is perverting the machinery OF tne
markets TO gambling purposes.
The trouble is not with our establsned eN-
changes-they are regularly organized In response
to the evolution Of business-but with the very
facilities which they afford, which to be re-
sponsible for the trades against them.
Wall Street" said the lecturer IN ending, apart
from its parasitic tipsters and bUcketshops is the
cleanest. most upright and useful place In this
entire country

THE STREET RELIEVED
Eric Settlement Reflected in Better

wall Street breathed a sigh of relief yesterday
bsn It was realized that at last the affairs OF the
r-ie Railroad Company had been auspiciously set
,,ed temporarily. at least. All the Erie securities
,e-e strong, with the Erie discount notes of
course. leading the way. These notes, which ma
.rred on Wednesday, and over the payment OF

% q price OF s. on Wednesday and So few days
.ro Holders had the choice of taking par in cash
.cr the old notes or exchanging them for the
pe- cent secured notes and q per cent cash
bonus
TIE settlement Of the Erie question was reflected
rot only by strength in the Erie issues and in the
Improvement in the general bond market. The
shadow Of the Erie troubles has hung particularly
heavy over the bond market for the last two
veeks and its removal resulted in immediate bet
.s--7ent The Erie convertible AS were especially
strong. selling Up TO 81
TIE action Of Edward H. Hartman in putting

-H1,s avoid a serious clash with those holders who
we're rot willing 10 agree to the exchange plan as
announced last Saturday by J. 7. Morgan & Co.,
who offered TO UuGerwrfte 81 Oo09 OF the new 6
re- cent collateral trust notes at par If all the
od notes were exchanged for new notes, naturally
came in for lively discussion The generally ac-
eepted explanation OF Mr.. Harriman's action was
that he put up the money not so much with the
,dez of getting control OF the Erie as an Eastern
outlet for the Union Pacific as TO save the heavy
commitments which he and his friends already
ha6 il the roads securities. IN the parlance OF
Wal Street il looked as il Mr.. Hartman was
putting up additional margins TO save what he had
already invested.
