NEW YORK. May :, 1910.
On the dips in the stock market for the
last two weeks there has been large buy
ing by rich men on waiting orders. This
is common practice when the important
interests want to accumulate stocks with
out making any fuss about it or adver-
Using the fact. 1t is sure enough accumu-
lation when that kind of buying is in
dulged in, and is usually correctly inter-
preted as meaning that the market Is get
ting ready for substantial upturn. The
change occurred Wednesday after sew
eral successive days Of feverish trading.
The raiding was conducted on a large
scale and in the most ostentatiOus man.
ner, and. incidentally, every conceivable
piece of bearish news that could be dug
up was massed and made to do service
for the depression Of prices. The whole
street was plunged in "a midnight OF
gloom. 1t was made to appear that every
bull on earth had been driven from his
position and that the bears were in full
possession. Indeed, such seemed to have
been literally the case. fox it was almost
impossible to find bull south of the city
hall.

Money From the Interior.

In our own country the feeling of
relief has been accentuated by the large
movement of money to this center from
he interior, which bears out the pre-
dictions of our best bankers, made
months ago, that after May 10 money
would be easy in this country until the
usual Tightening of rates that takes
place in the fall of the year. Investors
in Europe. both. in tncir actual
capacity and as members of large bank
ing syndicatcs, have made arrangements
TO take from us large blocks of our
railway bond securities, agGregating. as
is believed, considerably more than
100000. and this must have the
gratifying effect of both placing our
railway companies in funds with which
10 make improvements in the coming
season and also of relieving whatever
congestion has previously existed in our
nome bonds market.
In the next place the crop prospects
this week have been unquestionably I'M
proved Reports are coming In from
every quarter that the damage done by
the late frosts was in no way as great
as was currently estimated at the time,
and heavy rains have fallen over All
the drought stricken portions or the

report of crop conditions due next week
will not fully show the Improvement IN
conditions that has taken place since

which the observations of the govern
1nent experts were made.

Are Easily Alarmed.

Anything which disturbs long existing
conditions is viewed with unspeakable
alarm by the conservative classes of the
tight little isle. On this occasion the
moneyed people gave CLIENT expression to
their fears by quietly converting securi-
ties of every form into money and get
ting it in shape where it might be of
emergency use. AS matter Of fact, a
"still panic was on in Great Britain for
of the whole civilized world. The extent
of the disturbance is only just beginning
to be realized.
Well, the budget was passed and moth

wouldn't hear the storms began looking
about them, and in shame-faced fash
ion they have been coming out Of retire.
ment ever since. The most notable in
cident has been the speed with which
evidence that the recovery is complete
they are once more putting their funds
in circulation. The english capitalists
like to have their money earning some
thing. American corporations are right
on the ground and are earnest and eager
candidates for the available capital. They
are there with demands to be given a
place at the pie counter and there Is
little doubt that they will secure their
share. They generally succeed in expe-
ditions of that kind.
The reflection of this new order Of
things is being seen on the New York
Stock Exchange and in the more friendly
spirit shown ry the bankers everywhere.
Indeed, the local situation has improved
almost miraculOusly. 1t would not be
surprising If 1t did not act as a signal
for general grand resumption of activ-
ity in every industrial and commercial
quarter. 1t is almost as though heavy
weight had been taken off the neck of
business.

Foreign Markets Relax.

The Transformation in sentiment came
with startling abruptnesb and was due
primarily to the discovery that the Euro
pean money market had relaxed almost
as by magic. The general Wall street
public received it's news through the reg
ular channels in the form of reports from
Paris that the st. Paul railroad had
floated a large bond issue in that city.
and that negotiations were on in Lon
don for extensive and varied f1otationS
embracing the bonds of several American
railroads and the sale Of a ten-milliOn-
dollar block Of New York city bonds.
From Holland and Germany came re-
ports also of a change in front toward
American securities and the beginning OF
what looked like heavy buying Of both
stocks and bonds. Coincidentally foreign
exchange broke sharply, and from Lon
don there came the tip that the Bank
of England might reduce its discount
rate, if not this week, then next or the
week following. All of this told in plain
language that an end had come to our
exports Of gold and that corporation
financing would be made easier for the
time being.
One secret of the troubles that have
beset the money market lately has been
the disturbance in Great Britain incident
to the passage of the. budget The srich
classes of Great Britain have been very
greatly discouraged over the quiet revo-
luton which has been going on there, and
which was very generally construed as
presaging q regime of heavier taxation
on vast properties hitherto either exempt
from taxation or inadequately assessed.

At Work on Rate Schedules.

Experts are hard at work on the new
rate schedules which the eastern railroads

roads may defer the formal filing until
after the western rates go into effect.

Tendency Is Upward.

1t is quite certain that the market
leaders have been getting ready for a
change from depression, and that they
are looking for Improvement in prices
and in underlying conditions. 1t would
not be reasonable to ant icipate a per-
pendicular advance in values up to
dizzy heights, but it is safe to assume
that the tendency from now on will be
upward instead of downward. The
market has been undergoing a decline
for fully six months, and in that period
there has been heavy and almost con-
tinuous liquidation. Selling of stocks
on q large scale for account of the
Hartman estate marked the beginning
of this decline. as buying Of stocks on
a huge scale for account OF Hartman,

going to beat the present clerk of the

Let us see IL st. Paul really has much

fair and what It lie to ask for ap-
ported by the state. reliable informa-
ton is to the effect that at present it
has as favors from the state:

tors, =
Two out of Ave supreme court jus.

Five out of five secretaries to SUI

Three out of six places in the gov

Eight out of nine places with in

Forty-five out of so places as care

Three out of six places at old capitol.
Thirteen out of % places with board

Six out of IL places with tax com

1t will be seen from these figures
that while. st. Paul has less than 10
