WEEKLY REVIEW
BY HENRY CLEWS

NEW YORK, July 26,-The stock
market at present is dominated by
combination of the most powerful and
skillful operators the Street has ever
seen. These gentlemen and their
corps of able lieutenants are energet-
ically engaged in sustaining the mar
ket and carrying first one stock, then
another, to a higher level in order to
distribute their surplus holdings of Sc
curities. At present prices their pro-
fits are exceedingly handsome, but the
public show no voracious appetite for
their offerings. Apparently, therefore,
it is their purpose to save the market
from any important decline by Great
ing increased activity and thus widen
ing the speculative movement and
stimulating the distribution of stocks.
1t must be recognized that condi-
tons are unusually favorable for such
operations. Advices from the interior
are universally optimistic, and senti-
ment here is equally hopeful. From
the great agricultural regions of the
West another profitable season to
farmers are gradually approaching
realization. The corn crop, the big

DOES NOT EXIST in
CONTINENTAL FOODS
Ptomaines Exist Only In Meats and
Fish Which Are Decaying, and New
err Appear in Vegetable Products
How Chemicals Act.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-In the
campaign to de-vitalize the Pure Food
Act the champions of chemical pre-
servatives are somewhat hard pressed
for arguments to offset the condemna-
ton of the use of such personalities
in food-stuffs by such organizations
as the American Medical Association,
the Public Health League, the Nation
al Association of Dairy and Food Com
missioners. the Bureau of Chemistry
of the Department of Agriculture, and
the other scientific associations and
government and state bureaus having
to do with questions affecting the
public health. 1t is somewhat surpris-
ing, however, that the boraX trust
should father the proposition that
benzoate of soda when used in pre-
serving ketchup and similar condimen-
tai foods prevents ptomaine poison
ing, The word "ptomaine" is fear
some and fascinating largely because
of the popular ignorance of what it
menas and thus the charge that pto-
maine may exist in continental foods
prepared without benzoate of soda ap-
peals to the uneducated ear and mind.
In the case of the educated this plea
for personalities is Immediately re-
jected because of the knowledge that
ptomaines do not exist in vegetable
products and therefore there can be
no case of ptomaine poisoning from
ketchup or any other continental
food whether prepared with or with
out chemicals. Ptomaines exist only
in meats and fish which are decaying
and it is particularly in fish that the
most virile and deadly ptomaines are
found. They never appear in vege.
table products, where decay is indi,

gest factor in our business outlook, is
still improving, and there has been no
in the prospects of bump
er yield at very good profits Even
should prices fall below those realiz-
ed for the last crop as has been pre-
viously pointed out in these advices,
it looks as if the farmers of the Unit
ed States will this year produce some
where about S,O0OOO0,O0O of new
wealth. This is a prodigious amount
and must have a very stimulating eff
feet upon commercial, industrial and
| financial affairs. Bankers in the West
are universally hopeful owing to crop
conditions. Merchants are not carry
ing large supplies of goods and fac
tories are obliged to steadily increase
their output. 1t is true that business
does not yet equal in volume the rec
ord attained before the panic, and that
owing to initiation of values the act
ual improvement in business is often
not as large as appears. Neverthe-
less, improvement is the order of the
day and the outlook for a satisfactory
fall and winter trade in all parts of
the country is exceptionally good, es-
pecially when the tariff issue is clos
ed, which will now be at an early
date.
The monetary situation causes no
concern whatever. Western banks
claim they will be able to finance au-
tumn requirements without making
any serious demands upon their re-
serves in New York. Nevertheless,
the Westward movement of currency
must soon begin and it will be reas-
enable to anticipate at least some
diminution of reserves and slight hard
ening of rates during that period. So
far as Wall Street is concerned it ap-
pears to have about discounted all of
these acknowledged favorable condi-
tons Hence there is no legitimate
reason for any further general adj
vance in securities, many of which
would doubtless be selling lower were
it not for the stubbornness with which
they are 'pegged." It should be frank
ly recognized that the big leaders are
apparently holding up the market UNI
til they have succeeded in unloading a
good share of their holdings. When
that time arrives a reaction may be
expected to occur, and prices will be
allowed to recede low enough to enable
them to buy back stocks sold at high
prices. Although natural conditions
are sound. satisfactory and hopeful,
the technical situation of the market
is highly dangerous, and speculative
operations should be strictly limited.
1t is quite likely that the public will
be RECALLED with some very bullish in
terviews ere long in the interest of
some of those who have stocks to
sell Such statements may prove true
but it will be well for buyers of Sc
curities to consider the purpose of
their PRONUNCIATION.

showed some very remarkable
changes. Imports of merchandise for

CHEMICAL PRESERVAT|VE;S
IN TABLE CONDIMENTS

benzoate Of soda might be effective
in killing them off, for its active prin-
ciple benzoic acid, is a successful pre-
tentative of decay in the case of flesh.
To the benzoic acid of the ancient
Egyptians, distilled from aromatic
gums, our museums owe to mumified
bodies of distinguished persons who
| flourished some 1000 to 5000 years
ago. But aside from the fact that the
benzoic acid of the Egyptians was
quite a different substance from the
benzoic acid of commerce today, which
is obtained synthetically from coal-tar
or from another source even more
on mummified meat and few are sat
isfied with mummified vegetable
foods.
A careful investigation conducted by
the government, however, disproves
not only the claim that benzoate of
soda prevents ptomaine poisoning in
ketchup, jellies, jams, etc, where pto-
maines do not exist, but also that it
does not destroy the bacteria of vege-
table origin but merely arrests decay.
In other words, partially decayed vege-
tables and fruit may be used and their
further decay arrested by the use Of
chemical personalities. In his re-

| the twelve months ending June 80
were $1,312OOO,OOOO an increase of
about $11S,OOO,OOO during the year.
This INCREASE was partly due to re-
viying activity Of business and partly
due to goods rushed in to anticipate
tariff advances. Our exports of mer-
chandise during the same period
amounted to 81 ,663, 100000, a decrease
Of $197,000,O0O in twelve months. This
loss was widely distributed, but was
mainly due to the shrinkage Of exports
Of agricultural products. In conse-
queuce of these Quotations our trade
balance showed an excess of exports
of only $35OOOOOOO in the last fiscal
year compared with $666,00O,00O for
the year before. Such violent changes
in the current of International trade,
of course chiefly reflect the conse-
quences Of the panic of 1907, even
though partly due to insufficient crops
and tariff uncertainties. The effect
of these changes upon the gold move
ment was very marked there being an
excess Of $47O0O,00O in exports this
year compared with an excess of &c.,
600, 900 in imports in the fiscal year
ending 1908. For the time being gold
to Europe have ceased, but
large sums are still going to Argentina
on London account. Unless all indica-
tons fail our foreign trade should
soon return to more satisfactory con-
ditiOns. Imports should become more
normal as soon as tariff uncertain
ties are out of the way, and our eX-
ports should recover somewhat under
the effect of larger crops. The tend
7ncy, however, appears to be towards
exports of grain and meats
FOR the reason that our home demands
appear to be increasing more rapidly
han the supplies. Exports of manu-
actures are fortunately increasing. 1t
would cause no surprise, however, If
