The popularity Of Jackman as head

ON STOCK EXCHANGE
IN NEW YORK
More Sober Feeling With
Hopeful Undertone
COUNTRY ON ABNORMAL HILL
PRICE LEVEL.

On the New York Stock Exchange
a more sober feeling prevails. reck-
less speculation having been temper
ed by recognition OF the fact that
prices are very high and offer little
indneement to investors under pres
ent conditions In the money market.
II Ia recognized that more or less In
fiation 10 prevalent. and that II inter
Q I rates advance 1t will be serious
obstacle to q further rise in values.
There Is. nevertheless, "a hopeful under
tone since the activity in trade gives
strength to the industrials while
continued large railroad earnings af-
ford good support to railroad securi-
ties. Phenomenal activity Is still
the rule In the Steel trade. both or
ders and production SURPRISING all
previous records. The activity III
Steel. however, Ia not proportionate-
ly Shared by other industries. and the
great textile trades are distinctly
hampered by the high prices for cot
ton and wool. Speculation in cot
ton Ia being carried to excess. the
rise in the staple being out of all
proportion to the injury to the crop.
nipulation. the danger of which is
emphasized by the fact that the price
Is being advanced in defiance of all
economic laws and in the face of
continued increases in supplies
In many respects the general out
look Is very satisfactory and owing
to the unequalled prosperity of the
agricultural classes the promises are
for at leas, another year or two of
good business. On the other
hand, it must not be forgotten that
the country Is working upon an alb
normally high price level; that in
terest rates are permanently higher
that the speculative mania is difficult
to control, and that our prosperity is
very unevenly distributed and decid-
eddy lop-sided. Some process OF
equalization Is due, and Just how this
| will come cannot be predicted The
steel trade cannot keep up its pres
ent activity indefinitely; neither can
the cotton industry go on without
some relief to its present difficulties
Time alone will solve these problems
but they are sufficiently complex to
warrant a spirit of caution In all com
mercial and financial transactions af-
fecting the future. One effect OF
pr esent high prices Is the growing
substitution or adulteration of one
material by another of inferior grade
or less cost. Short weights ant
short measures, too are often restored
| to In order to squeeze out a profit
which high costs prevent. Our cen
| ter of gravity has been raised toe
| high, and lasting stability cannot be
expected until equalization has re.
stored the equilibrium and prices
generally come down to less spe-
culative level.
