Railroads Advancing Wages.

New York Central will have difficulty
in maintaining its officially announced
policy Of refusing to advance the wages
of it's workmen. Every other important
railroad and a majority Of the big In.
dustrials are meeting the demands Of
their men and doing it voluntarily. The
example Of Pennsylvania In increasing the
big end Of its pay roll about 10 per cent
has been followed by Reading and will
be followed by the United States Steel
Corporation. The increased total which
will be paid annually by the three COM
panies will approximate So. 900. The
promptness with which the New Haven
company has announced an increase In
freight rates In order to get the money
with which to pay the raise in wages ia
rather startling. but sooner or later the
public will have to foot the bills anyway
and so just as we'll insert the knife at
once and be through with it,
Many of the great railroad companies
and industrials report a falling off In the
number of stockholders as compared with
six months ago. It would appear that
on the great advance in the stock market
which eliminated last fall there was
wholesale distribution of stocks for &C.
count of the general public as we'll as in
siders. The public is certainly becoming
educated to the advantage of marketing
securities on bulges an dnot waiting until
insiders get rid of their speculative lines.

it would be no trouble at all to grind out
some more. The manufacturers and sales
men of securities are always ready, WILL
ing and able to produce the goods In any
quantity to meet the demand no matter
how large 1t may be.
The welcome news assails the street
that a part Of the crops may be saved
after all. It seems that the crop killers
overlooked the fact that a large part OF
the west and southwest was covered with
heavy snow last winter and that the
ground was full Of moisture when spring
time came. They are now announcing
that such being the case the roots may
find nourishment even though there
should not be deluging rainfalls. This
encouraging news is not having the
stimulating effect on the stock market
that 1t should, however.
