BUSINESS
Stock Market More Unsettled on
Account Of Continued Liquida-
,ion---Unsettled Conditions.

Continued liquidation has further
unsettled the stock market Firm
rates for money, President Taft's rail-
road and corporation Dllls. fears of
unfavorable decisions by the sup
preme court in the tobacco and Stand
ard Oil cases, and the break in cot
ton appear to have been the chief
unfavorable influences. AS for high
money, that appears to be a settled
tendency, and is now generally ac-
knowledged that 1910 will be period
of dearer money than 1909. This, of
course, implies general re-adjust-
ment of security values. AS usual,
the high priced stocks are the first
to feel the effects of a fundamental
change like permanent rise in in
terest rates. Security holders can
easily find better employment for
their funds than in securities which
bring only to 1-2 per cent. A
good many stocks have been firmly
held during the pats six months by
insiders who were aware of an i'm
pending increase in dividends. Upon
the announcement of these dividends
such holders quietly sold for the reas-
on just stated, and in this way stocks
have been passing from strong into
weaker hands for several weeks past.
The public have been the chief buy
ers, encouraged by the generally sat
isfactory condition of business and
the reasonable prospects for its con-
tinuance.

likely to provoke should reveal their
grave imperfections and bring them

Wall Street.

Wall Street, however, is in the hab-
1t of anticipating events. and stock
exchange values consequently often
follow a course in direct opposition
, to popular expectation. It thus hap
pens that security prices are declin-
ing in spite of the favorable outlook
for the current year. Another reas-
on for the selling of stocks has been
the publication of the two proposed
bills giving President Taft's ideas of
railroad regulation and industrial cor
porations. Neither of these measures
, were favorably received. The rail-
road bill was much criticised for the
undue power which it gave to the in
,terstate commerce commission
body which is constantly seeking to
impose higher degree of paternal-
Nism upon our railroad systems AS
FOR the bill for national corporations,
hat measure is still open to criticism,
since 1t contains the highly objection
able feature of holding companies,
which have frequently proved so haz-
ardous and which the government has
been attempting to dissolve. Both of
these bills show tendency towards
the Capitalization and growth of fed
seral power which seriously needs to
be checked. A national corporation
law would deprive the states of much
of the power which they now exert

WHITE HOUSE BELLE.
Presidents Daughter Extremely Popu-

President Taft's daughter Helen is
extremely fond of automobiling and
has been seen much on the streets of
Washington recently in new machine
which her father purchased for her
when he returned from his tour. A
less level head than that possessed by
the new White House belle might have
been turned by the adulation she has
received since her fathers election To
the presidency, but all her acquaint
ances agree that in her case her posi-
ton has made not the slightest change.
