 The annual report of the Press Steel Car company illustrates in most brutal way the terrific shrinkage in the busi- ness of the railroad equipment companies. The report shows that in 1908 gross earn ings were $s,5S9OO0 against $36,44S,00O the year preceding and S36, ,14S, GOO in 1906. The report shows a deficit on the year of $720000 after paying dividends on pre- ferred stock. Ordinarily a report of this kind would have smashed the stock clear down through the ground.
 On this occasion it hardly made an im- pression on prices. The exhibit was not unexpected, and then everybody knows that when good times revive equipment companies will be first to feel them and that they will have more business than they can attend to.
 The bear leaders are gaining in courage and feeling for soft spots with little more vigor than they have displayed since the beginning of the year. They say they are able to detect very good evidence that the market is getting hollow and that many of the specialties are lacking in support. The bull contingent would be very much obliged if holders of stocks would continue to hold on. Tbey are be-
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-02-21

It comes from Washington direct to the big Wall street interests that Con gress is likely to yield to the elamor of the business community and the great army of unemployed men and hurry through legislation on the tariff Many of the best friends of protection would like to see more care given to the meas ure before 1t becomes a law than will be possible under the hoop law programme, and they would like to have the laws that would stand for years impregnable to successful attack and one that would not be shot full of holes by the board of general supervisors and the courts as the Dingley law has been. The House com mittee will offer very much better bill, however, than seemed possible up to two weeks ago.
 It has the best of expert counsel and will be able to correct most of the im- perfections and defects in the existing law. That work has been greatly sim plified and the insiders here are advised that under the direction of Chairman Payne and MT. Dalzell a really creditabe | bill will be offered for Congress- diges- llOH Ile HlBn protection party, Wnlcn make pivots around the headquarters of the big industrials, are somewhat wor- ried over the palpable complexion of the next Senate finance committed It will have three new members (and four if Hopkins of Illinois is knocked out)
 The retiring members will be Platt of New York, Hansbrough of North Dakota and Hopkins of Illinois, with Allison of Iowa, deceased. MT. Hale, himself a member of the committee, will probably be chairman of the caucus, in which ca pacity he will be very influential in nam ing the new members, who are likely to be Deliver of Iowa, Carter of Montana, Nelson of Minnesota and Kean of New Jersey
 With the exception of Nelson these men would be unobjectionable to the high tariff phalanx. Gallinger of New Hamp- shire could have one of the places, but refuses in advance to allow his name to be considered. Altogether the outlook is for speedy action and for reasonably early Senate acquiescence in whatever pro- gramme the administration and Congress leaders may agree upon.
 The price cutting which is notorously going on in the iron and steel trade may be said to reflect the reduction in the tariff schedules relating to that class, of manufacture. A good many of the inde- pendentS of the smaller kind have no
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-02-21

The price cutting which is notorously going on in the iron and steel trade may be said to reflect the reduction in the tariff schedules relating to that class of manufacture A good many of the inde- pendents of the smaller kind have no means of protecting themselves by selling their shares on the stock exchange. Their only method of securing themselves against loss is to contract to sell product as far ahead as possible, and this is being done. The same thing is true of other industries where advance information has leaked out as to what the ways and means committee will incorporate in it's bill. The understanding here is that there will only be a small shave in sugar and possibly the imposition of a slight tax on tea and coffee. The necessity for govern ment revenue is a great aid to the high protectionists.

SPEND or INVEST, Which?

In buying clothes some men simply
spend their money-others invest it.
Which do you do? 1t is not spend
ing money to buy Schloss clothes, its
investing when such high quality is
obtainable at such low prices.
The best investment any man can
make is in clothes that make him look
his best at all times.
Why not save half?
Try buying suits and overcoats that
wear twice as long. Why not buy
the clothes that have proven them
selves superior to any others made in

WARD LINE TO CUT
CUBAN SHIPMENTS
Steamship Company Requires the
Prepayment of freight

Prepayment of freight
The Havana Post in a recent issue
said:
Has the fruit and vegetable busi-
ness of Cuba received a blow which
will seriously cripple it? Or has there
been change in the shipping require
ments in certain instances, which
will in the end work small harm to
anybody and do considerable good to
some of the parties concerned? The
whole question has been brought up,
and in a very sudden way, by the
announcement made this week by
the Ward line that hereafter all ship
ments of live animals, household
goods, fruits, vegetables, sweets and
printed matter must be prepaid at
this end.
The announcement came as a sur
prise to the growers and shippers of
the island and strong have been the
protests that they have raised since
then. They say that the whole bust
ness of fruit and vegetable growing
on the island will be killed, if this
regulation continues; that the grow
ers cannot invest their money in the
crop and then stand the added bur-
den of paying all the shipping ex-
penses before the goods reach the
market. On the other hand, the
Ward line people say that this step is
only justifable one which they have
taken to protect themselves against
the numerous losses which have oc-
cured in the past.
Professor F. S. Earle, of Jovell-
amos, president of the Fruit Growers
Assn, said that he thought this
would be a Knockout blow for the
fruit and vegetable industry in
Cuba"
