quite spirited advance In the stock mar

stages Of last years panic.
Steel's Remarkable Strength.
Steel preferred was exceptionally strong
yesterday. but today's dealings in that
stock quite eclipsed those of Tuesday.
The industrial quarter was generally
firm and a number of stocks In that
group. including Amalgamated Copper
reached the highest figures at which they
have sold In long time. Yet there was
nothing specific or outside of purely tech
meal circumstances to be named In con-
nection with their course.
The same observation may be applied
TO-. that matter. to the transactions in the
railway list, where advances ranging
from fractional limits to two points and
upward were not uncommon. As usual
the leading features there were Union
Pacific, Reading and the Hill stocks, and
Illinois Central continued notably strong.
During the greater part Of the business
the local traction issues were compare
lively neglected. Bonds were firm Oh
fairly large transactions.
London Dull and Irregular.
The London stock market was dull and
irregular and operations here for foreign

taken In the government crop report, even
that matter was more or less overshadow-

political situation.
Money market affairs showed no ma

turn Of government balances under the
recent call OF the Secretary of the Treas
ury.

NEW YORK, July SIT has been true
IN the past that financial uplieavais have
been followed by serious labor troubles.
and predictions have been made that the
panic Of 1907 would bring with 1t the same
results But although the depression mas
been under way now for nearly nine
months. nothing serious Of that kind has
developed. The chief reason IL. however,
that capital has been manifestly exceed
inely generous to it's employees. Wages,
taking industry as a whole. have not been
reduced. They have been maintained by
the railroads and industrial corporations
in the face of falling earnings, reduced
dividends, defaults and receiverships.
This has been done in the hope that the
industrial depression could be tided over
and labor difficulties avoided. It remains
to be seen how much longer this policy
can be continued. but certainly II the cor
porations at last md 1t Impossible 70 pay
their employees prosperity wages the lat
ter, in view Of the consideration already
exercised. cannot make complaint with
any Justice. Labor IS about the only
thing that has not been liquidated since
last October.
The steel companies, for instance, are
operating at 50 per cent of their capacity
yet there has been no universal reduction
in wages. Slight concessions have been
agreed to. however. by sheet steel. tin
plate and bar iron workers. and it would
be no surprise If there would he a general
scaling down in the near future.
Although the Pennsylvania railroad
does not make public any income figures
for the twelve months ending June 30, an
estimate for that. based on reports to the
interstate commerce commission OF the
company's revenues and disbursements
indicates q surplus Of approximately $27.-
600. 600 over all charges or the equivalent
of S.5 per cent on the $S15, 100000 stock.
The Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific railway companies have issued Or
ders that all cars on foreign lines be
called in at the earliest possible date in
order to have all available equipment for
hauling Of the big crop which is expected
in the Dakotas and other western states.
