on the iron and steel situation fell on
friendly ears, contrary to the reception
usually accorded the canned productions
of that eminent publicity agent. On this
occasion a majority Of steel experts were
in accord with him in saying that a slight
improvement can be detected in the steel
outlook-not much. to be sure. but some.
Bedrock In that industry seems to have
been struck at last and what changes are
to be detected are in the way Of inn
provement. After all the iron and steel
business has not been in such deplora-
BILE state as many have tried to make it
appear. Production has been of moderate
volume, but appears smaller than it is
because Of the large Increase in capacity
arranged for by the great steel companies.
This capacity appears extravagant In the
light of present conditions and present
consumption, but 1t will be none too large
with return of prosperity and things
going at flood tide. The great complaint
even as recently as four years ago was
that construction everywhere was kept
back and made costly by inability to Sc
be no such congestion OIL the next big
boom. Construction will be accelerated
and costly delays will no longer be in
CURED by reason thereof
Money Going to Interior.
New York banks have been losing money
for a week or more to the interior. and
there has been a. noticeable hardening OF
interest rates. Time money rates show
Il slight change and the belief still pre-
walls in banking circles that after the
turn of the year there will be a SUPER
abundance Of funds in New York and
other important fiscal centers.
The United States court in Phladel-
phia has certainly put up nice job on
the Supreme Court in Washington. The
lower court has decided that the Temple
Iron Company the coal truSD is an il
legal corpora ton and must dissolve. III
the next breath it decides that the COLI
stituteDt parts of this corporation have
done nothing, so far as the evidence
straint of trade. Both sides to the con-
troversy claim to have won out AS =
matter Of fact, neither side has won out
1T Is q drawn battle and the Supreme
Court will have to be the umpire.
The immediate market effect Of the de-
c!sion was to advance the stocks of the
several anthracite coal roads. The stocks
would have advanced, no matter what the
decision may have been. If 1T had been
points at issue there would have been
a melon to divide in the form Of rights
on coal lands of enormous value II the
decision had been in favor OF the rail-
roads, 1t would have s'gnified official
acquiescence in the schemes as now

NEW YORK. December 10. 1910.
The market has been comparatively free
from pestiferous manipulation This week.
That is because the pestiferous manip-
ulators have been set back and kept in a
state Of subsection. They We're taught
that it was not good form to advertise
their plays too openly. and that brass
band and string instruments did not make
music pleasant to the public ear or al
Turing to investors.
1t now appears that the much exploited
speculative syndicate, which had volun-
tarily come to the assistance of the Nor
gan party was not real sure-enough
hard and fast syndicate. but a group of
successful plungers held together by a
sort of gentlemen's agreement, leader
operator who had been exceptionally
successful during Il series of campaigns
extending through three or four years.
That kind of a record was supposed to
have made him a leader. The experience
of the past month has disillusioned this
plunger and his friends, and has shown
them that something besides that is
necessary for leadership Of the kind that
inspires confidence and a large public fol-
lowing. This fact having been Impressed
upon the small and ambitious member
ship in the gentlemen's syndicate by
bankers of great power. the campaign
so nOisly began collapsed, leaving the
street full of mixed emotions OF sorrow
over losses sustained on imprinient pur-
chases and of joy over the suppression Of
a bunch of plunging gamblers, whose per-
formances had driven away the public,
cut the commission business down to
nothing and brought the stock exchange
into worse repute than it was before.

The Financier will say:
The statement of the clearing house
banks of the city Of New York for the
week ending December 10, taking the
actual condition report as basis, was
unexpectedly favorable The preliminary
estimate of losses of cash during the
week. by reason Of operations with the
subtreasury, made it almost certain that
q decrease OF between Se,O00.0OO and
S9,O0O.C00 had occurred. Instead Of that
figure. however. Saturdays statement
showed a loss of only 1856, 800 in specie
and legals. and as there was Il contrac-
tton of $l4.c4S 200 in loans, and a CORE
spending shrinkage of $lS,116,9O0 in de-
quirements were lowered by a sum in ex-
cess of the loss of cash. so that the
total reserve actually rose $685.. 80. bring
ing the present surplus to $5,711 SD
above the p per cent minimum. Just
why the decrease in cash was so much
less than expected is difficult Of explana-
ton, as the statement of the trust COM

but very slight changes in their cash.
holdings.
1t is probable that some of the loans of
the banks have been shifted to the trust
companies, since these institutions report
a gain in that item during the week of
8, 766, I00. 1T is also probable that inter
national operations figured in the weeks

ages. differed widely from the statement

1888 S33 3;3S in SPECIE, and legal tenders, a de-
