End of Reaction In Sight.

So severe retraction, which
was a direct result of the panic,
can hardly be expected to continue
indefinitely. Now that the rail-
roads are better able to finance their
requirements, the demand for steel
products should before long begin
to improve; nevertheless, old time
activity need not be anticipated.
Railroad earnings are plainly feeling
the shrinking in traffic. Novem-
Der returns showed gain of about
5 per cent in gross earnings, while
net earnings decreased Is per cent;
and December returns are expected
to be still more unfavorable. Some
authorities estimate that 100000
cars at least are idle in various parts
of the United States, while others
state that these figures are consider

Business Depression in Iron.

The comparative indifference of
Wall Street to reactionary CONNER
cial conditions outside is easily ex-
planned The stock market has been
tremendously improved by the LIQUID
ations Of 1907-which not only dis
counted excessive speculation and
credit abuses eliminating in that
year, but also discounted very large
ly the probability of a commercial
and industrial reaction in 1908. No
one questions that we have now
entered a period of business depres-
sion. 1t is only a matter of how
far and how long it will continue.
Production is now being curtailed
in all the leading industries. In
iron, in textiles, boots and shoes, in
leather, tobacco and many other
industries there has been more or
less curtailment Prices, too, are
now receeding, although by means
of trusts and other combinations of
various kinds CtrenuouB effort is
being made to delay readiustments.
The last report of the steel trust
was perhaps the most striking il
lustration of the reaction. Accord
ing to Mr.. Carnegie's celebrated
axiom, steel has suddenly dropped
from "prince to pauper" The un-
filled orders on the books Decem-
Der 31st were given as 4,642, 900
tons-the smallest total of any
December since 1903. A year ago
the total of untitled orders was 81
$4,000 tons.

Resume of Wall Street
BY Henry CIews

,rrw YORK, Feb. 7.-Conditions
n the stock market are somewhat
..a,cting. Stocks show surprising
...,stance to unfavorable condi-
.,,ns. the latter having been so
,,rcalv discounted by the previous
doclipes, that easy money proved
not only strong support against
-orowed depression, but a powerful
.tmuIous to higher valuations.
The great increase IN monetary
snnples which has been so often
nredicted in these advices as an
,,aammatory element, is now hav-
mo its effect, and largely accounts
ar the markets resistance of dis
ooura ging news. This week further
Improvement has taken pace in the
nonetary situation. Funds are re-
turning freely from the interior
and coming back out of boarding,
raising the surplus reserve last
week to $37, 100000 and with the
rrospect that it will go still higher
before the end is reached. A SINH
lar state of affairs exists abroad
the great banks of Europe also
shaving a rising tendency.
Cessation of Speculative Activity.
There has been a worldwide ces-
sation of speculative activity; also
more or less recessation in general
trade and industry, with the result
Of greatly diminishing the inquiry
for obtainable funds. This decline
IN interest rates comes at a most
fortunate time and has alse exert
ed a strengthening effect upon Sc
curity values in the foreign markets.
British consuls have shown an un-
usual advance and are now quoted
at S65s, a recovery of over xix
points In this market the effects
have been most noticeable in
notable in bonds. Since the first of
January it is estimated that bond
sales have increased fully 25 per
cent, while transactions in stocks
have declined nearly SO per cent.
There has also been a good invest
ment demand for preferred guaran-
teed stocks. Lack of confidence has
had considerable to do with turing
The investment demand in these d.
feetions, since and business react
ion which may have to be endured
will fall entirely upon the common
shares of railroads and other corpo-
rations.
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1908-02-07
Effect of Presidents Message

No excessive advance seems likely
just now. while any decided break
would undoubtedly invite new pur-
chases. Under such conditions act
i've trading in stocks should revive,
and the better class of securities will
no doubt find ready purchasers on
all pronounced breaks, especially in
view of the strong bankin support
which is undoubtedly being accord
ed. The presidents message con-
tanned little that was new of impor-
lance, and was largely confined to
reiteration of his former position.
Its main object was evidently to
stir congress into action; something
very difficult to do just in advance
of presidentian election.

Panic Helps Bank Ethics.

On the Stock Exchange the recent
bank failures and troubles in finan-
cial institutions had little effect.
These were simply the aftermath of
the panic and part of the general
housekeeping then undertaken. The
local banking situation has been
immensely improved, and is now in
very satisfactory condition, despite
the fact that some of the difficulties
created by the panic are only now
coming to the surface. Should any
more of these troubles be exposed
they need not now cause any loss
of confidence in the present banking
situation of the city. Those in con-
troll are fully determined to elm
mate the weak features and raise
the standard of banking in New
York city. In the future it may be
depended upon that the bank man
agement in this city will fall upon
men who as presidents and directors
stand high, not only as regards
ability, but whose regulations for
integrity and disinteredness will be
beyond question. The panic will at
least have one good effect in that it
will Immediately raise the standards
and ethics of banking in this, the
second center of banking in the
world.

A conference is to be held in

Resume on More Stable Level.

The only cure is to get back from
the abnormal to the normal as
early as possible. This can only be
done by contraction. Demand has
already declined for reasons we'll
understood and prices are receding
in consequence. The next step will
be a reduction in costs of production
which would inevitably cause more
or less friction, especially in the
matter of reducing wages. With
easier monetary conditions, how
ever, and more normal conditions as
to prices and wages. the way will
be paved for an early resumption of
industrial activity, on the
inflammatory basis of 1907, but on
a lower and more stable level. Much
will depend upon the outcome of the
crops and the election. If these
prove satisfactory and the process
of readiustment of business is not
unduly impeded by combinations, we
may look for improvement at a COM
paratively early date. Any Interior
ance with natural tendencies will
simply protract, if not intensity, the
depression,
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1908-02-07

ably understated. Such incidents
are merely cited to prove that bust
ness reaction is a reality and not
Pigment of the imagination. They
mean that commerce and industry
must go through a process of read
justment somewhat in keeping with
what has taken place in securities.
The reimbursement will be much less
severe in commercial circles than it
has been in finance, because the lat
ter was honeyeombed by excuses
and abuses which have no counter
part in commerce and industry.
Hence the readjustment in general
business will be much less acute
than in Wall Street.
