Tobacco trust securities were strong,
particularly the 4 per cent bonds, which
rose to 80. The per cent bondholders
expect to get par for their security, If
they refuse to exchange for what the
company offers. Stock of the United
Cigar Stores Company is being picked up
quietly because il is expected that after
dissolution this company will be of much
more Importance than at present. The
stock sells in odd lots at 225. A share
holder said yesterday that the real es-
tate department of this company, which
has a capital set aside for 1t of 800, 900,
earned $4,000 net in the last fiscal year.
Sugar and Rubber Strong.
Beet Sugar and Rubber were two spe-
Cialties to display strength. The insiders
of both express complete confidence in
the permanence of dividends. The rubber
trust has a world market for boots and
shoes, and in a few years will be grow
ing its own supply of crude rubber. The
Beet Sugar insiders are still accommodating

rally that the stock market is enjoying
their issue should sell very much higher.
The present prices of Rubber and Beet
Sugar stocks furnish an opportunity for
liquidation by persons who are not abso-
luteIy sure that they want to remain as
stockh olders of the companies.
The general investment situation is
such that when one sees profit in his
holdings he should consider carefully
whether he wants to carry the stock
through a political campaign, the re-
suits of which to securities no human

State of Kentucky Would Tax Rail-
roads Steamships.


Arguments in the Kentucky tax case
against the Southern Pacific Railroad
began yesterday in the United States
Supreme Court.
The Southern Pacific is a Kentucky
corporation, but does no business in
that State. 1t operates a steamship line
between New York and various ports.
The Kentucky authorities attempted to
collect taxes on the company's steam
ships and other property and on its
stocks and bonds.
A county court dismissed the suit as
to the stocks and bonds, but held the
steamships liable to taxation. The Cir
cult Court held that neither was taxa
BILE and dismissed the whole bill. The
Kentucky Court of Appeals. however,
affirmed the ruling of the county court,
and the Southern Pacific appealed to the
United states Supreme Court.

FINANCE AND REALTY

A light day on the exchange was yester-
lSay. Prices were strong, but there was
perilously near to liquidation. There
was no decided feature, unless a two
point jump by Mergenthaler might be
SO designated. Gas was strong, bat did
not figure in any free trading. Railway
common was steady at 40, but was not
in great demand
A. n. Paris Back.
The first appearance of Albion K. Par
ris, known on the change as the great
American traveller" was made the occa-
sion for a rousing and a unique demon
stration- Mr.. Paris, who is one of the
most popular members Of the exchange,
has been on a six weeks trip through
the Northwest and Southwest. He was
made the object of a railway folder
| shower that left little to be desired in
the way of enthusiasm, and left the fold
er racks Of a number of hotels sadly de-
pleted.
The demonstration was begun by Presi-
dents Hoover, of the National Savings
and Trust Company: Bell, of the Amer
lean Security and Trust Company, and
| Norment, of the Bank of Washington,
all of whom presented Mr.. Paris with
folders as they clasped his hand. Late
arrivals were given folders to hand to
the object of the welcome, and w. B..
| Hibbs, the last to appear, was loaded
down with vari-colored railway time

Opinion More Hopeful.

Conservative bankers are disposed now
to view the financial situation more
hopefully. Courage is still lacking in
some quarters TO increase commitments
largely. but confidence has gained TO n
point where it is felt that the next move
ment of consequence will be upward
Sooner or later underwriters will ven
ture to bring forward new loans, and
the proceeds therefrom Will be available
for railroad and OtEeI corporations, which
in turn will place orders with equipment
companies employ more labor, and in
other ways stimulate a resumption Of
general activity. there is little danger
of gold leaving the country in any alarm
ing volume, though a considerable amount
may be sent to London to take advan-
eJof remuneratIve interest rates pend
ing the home revival. Fears that the
American harvest of 1911 would be fail
ures can now be dismissed. Our agri-
cultural results, taken as a whole, give
every promise Of being good. The South
is raising the greatest crop Of cotton
ever produced in this country, and even
on the present price basis (abOUt 10 cents
poundD the receipts are calculated to
insure another Year of great prosperity
for the cotton growers and the inCreas-
ing number of Industries dependent on
the welfare of the South. The economic
advantages of 1O-Cent cotton as contrast
ed with the 15-cent price shOrt-sightedly
aimed at by certain interests are far
reaching. Mills in the South should en-
joy better times; the textile centerS Of
New England are likely to be placed
and maintained oil better time, while
British consumers will he able to use
very large quantities of the staple. The
wheat production will not equal that of
last year. and the price will not, in all
probability. compensate the farmer for
the shortage; hut this loss promises to
be more than made up by the value Of
the corn crop.

Debts and War.

Russia and Turkey have agreed to
submit to the arbitration Of The
Hague Tribunal their differences over
debts due to Russian subjects from
Turks at the outbreak OF the war in
1877. War. according to the views
held BY the older jurists, annuls all
contracts and obligations between
citizens of the belligerent states. At
the present stage Of civilization this
severe rule is no longer applied with
strictness: Of course. intercourse be-
tween citizens Of warning nations is
suspended during the continuance Of
hostilities. but non-combatant enc
mics are no longer expelled because
Of their nationality. and on the return
of peace normal relations between In
dividual citizens Of the belligerents
are resumed. It was not to have been
expected that the Hamidian regime
In Turkey would adopt this enlight-
ened attitude: nor has the exact point
involved ever been definitely deter
mined BY any International authority.
The Judgment Of The Hague tribunal
would be the FIRST authority ruling on
the subject.

next school was established in May
of the same year at Pittsburg. and
the third at Boston In July. 1908. Ac-
cording to the reports received by the
