make It appear as formidable as pos
sible. but all to no purpOse-it had be-
come too familiar an object to arouse
any fears
Reports from Washington did not atree
as 10 the probability of a special mes
sage. Some houses had advices that the
document was already in preparation, and
that it would be an extremely violent
outbreak Of anti-corpOration and anti
Wall street hostility. while other houses
usually well informed on such matters
said that for the present nothing Of the
kind was to be apprehended-
The markets refusal TO go down led
to discussions of the various supposed
reasons for its strength, the chief Of
which was the report that the railroads
would make an advance in freight rates
instead Of economizing by reduction
in wages In this way, Il was argued
surplus revenues could be kept up 10
the level necessary to maintain dividends
without arousing any such III feeling or
producing such eurtailment Of the pur-
chasing power of a numerous class in the
community as would be caused by a
general reduction In the wages OF labor
In connection with the discussions on
this point II was asserted that railroad
labor is now more efficient than il was
year ago. and this higher standard
would probably be maintained so long
as the supply was in excess OF the de-
mand.
Railroad freight rates are lower in this
country than in any other part Of the
world. and only about as high as those
OF the country that holds the European
low record. On the other hand, the rate
Of wages paid is the highest paid for
similar service anywhere on the globe
Nothing new contemplated viii change
the position of the United States in
either respect.
A higher rate was made on lumber by
Northwestern roads that had for a long
time been encouraging the growth OF the
industry by abnormally low tariffs. These
isolated cases. however had very little
effect on the average rate received by
all the railroads for all kinds OF freight

ticGlly stationary.

New York. March 10-The fact that the
stock market had risen through five sue
cessive stock exchange sessions. and that
in this period the average price of the
active stocks had advanced almost four
fun points, half of this rise being concen-
trated in Saturdays and Mondays opera

eriy adduced to-day in speculative circles
as a reason for caution in buying stocks
Traders in Wall street argued that after
such a continuous and sharp rise. the
volume OF proft-takng IN the market
would increase. especially in view OF the
undenied circumstance that the financial
and business situation is not free from
difficulties. Although to-day the market

wife as some compensation for his
present somewhat worm eaten ap-
