New York, March 5, 1910
Another week of comparative quiet
has passed during which the ten
denotes on the Stock Exchange were

dertone is stronger, and confidence
lis rising. At the same time there
|are enough uncertainties to prevent
Iany premature upward improvement.
Labor troubles are creating a good
Ideal of uneasiness in corporation cir
cles, especially as the season is APP
preaching when restlessness of this
character is usually most active. in
la number of cases concessions have
been made to employees, but the VIC
lence shown in Philadelphia natural
ly arouses fears of possible disturb
anees elsewhere. 1t is not forgotten
also that the Standard Oil and To
bacco cases are still before the SUI
preme court, and that decision may
be anticipated at almo7t any time in
the next few months. There is less
fear of drastic opinion than a few
months ago, but these two cases are
in any event important elements Of
uncertainty Some further hesitation
has been induced by sensational re-
ports of damage to the winter wheat
crop, but as these prove to have been
much exaggerated they may be diS
missed it being too soon to form any
reliable idea as to the condition Of
the winter wheat crop.
Things Favorable.
When it comes to considering the
favorable features the balance APP

Frightening and unreasOning hostil-
ity to corporations is slowly abatlnp.
Business conditions are generally
satisfactory, although there is some
slight cessation of activity in certain
lines, as is usual at this period of the
year before the spring trade cts
in. Dry goods buyers are especially
conservative for the reason that dis
tributors refuse to stock up freely
at present high prices, Both cotton
and wooden goods have shown a
slight weakening in values, which
It need hardly be said is unsatisfae-
tory to manufacturers, especially in
view of the present small margin
between raw materials and finished
produce and the prospect of labor
difficulties. In the iron trade, how
ever, the better trade observed Il
week ago continues The railroads
are already appearing as more active
buyers. and wit hthe disappearance
Of winter construction work will re

for all kinds of materials, There is
little doubt that the iron trade ha
turned the corner and will enjoy sew.
era months OF continued activity.
Money Conditions Good.
In the money market conditions
are also satisfactory. and aside from
the usual temporary stringency about
the first of April the outlook Is for
continued easy rates until changed
conditions assert themselves. Tie
foreign money markets are also easy
and in sound condition, all of which
will powerfully tend to encourage
worldwide recovery. Our foreign
trade is still a source of some dis
satisfaction because of large imports

MOTOR CAR LINE
Will BE Established Between Tappa-
hammock and Milford.

Representing citizens of Essex county
who are endeavoring TO get into more
direct communication with Richmond,
DIR. w. b. Robinson, of Tappahannock,
was in Richmond Monday in the inter
est Of an automobile line from Tappa-
hammock to Milford, Caroline county,
where it will make connection with the
r. F. & 7. K. X. He talked with in
fluential people who were struck with
the commercial value of the project.
The Richmond Chamber of Commerce
will give the proposition its backing.
Before bringing the proposition to
the attention of outside people, the Es-
sex county citizens laid the foundation.
Already a macadamized road has been
begun, and a contract made for the
purchase of two powerful motor-cars
to be used on the line. The machines
are to have a capacity of nine passen-
gers each besides being capable of
carrying freight to the amount Of / 400
pounds. They are thirty-horsepower,
and the manufacturers guarantee them
to cover forty miles between Tappa-
hammock and Milford in from two and a
half to three miles on an average.
1--WE have grown tired" said DR..
Robinson, "of waiting for the railroads
to come TO US, and it IS our intention to
demonstrate that this line will be sue
cess; that the operation of such a road
as we propose will pay. There are
about so, 900 people in this section of
the State who are now required TO de-
vote twenty-four hours to getting
to Richmond. Our line will materially
reduce the cost and the time, besides
giving a direct outlet.
1t is the intention of the promoters
to get charter and begin operations
at the earliest date. The proposed
franchise will cover also the mainte-
nance of water craft and railroads.

R., F. & P, CASE

The important case of the Common
wealth against the R., F. & P. R. R.,
upon an appeal from the Circuit Court
of Richmond, will come up in Court of
Appeals in few days.
In this is involved the right of the
State Corporation Commission to assess
franchise taxes against the railroad.
The original charter of the road ex-
empted it from taxation. The conten-
ton of the Commonwealth is that this
feature of the charter has been for
feited because of sundry amendments
accepted by the road. The lower court
decided that the attempt at taxation
was in contrayention of the section in
the u. S. Constitution which forbids
any State passing law impairing the
obligations of contract.
