bitter disappointment to the mer.
chants of interior Western cities who
have been fighting the question fol
years. In consequence It Is feared that
the benefits to the rail-transporting com.
panies, arising out of a suspension OF
the rates which were to have gone into
effect on November is, will be but tenn.
porary, and II Is predicted that the In
terror Western cities, which celebrated
the proposed reclassification by ban
quests and civic demonstrations, will
carry their real or fancied grievances
TO Congress-. or make political issue OF
the matter In the coming Presidential
campaign.
Although the two matters already re-
junction In the intermountain rate cases
overshadowed all else In Wall Street,
Fthe week was not without other devel.
oopments, and the most conspicuous OF
these were Of q favorable character
The outcome Of the elections played nc
very important part in the considera-
tions Of the financial district, though
the successes of the Socialistic party, In
unexpected quarters, furnished food fol-
reflection for thoughtful men. The
chiefly favorable features were made up
OF non-sensational things, such as fur
ther slight Improvement In gross rail-
way earnings, a moderate expansion OF
bank clearances. reduction OF surplus

business.
An Abundance of Cotton.
Further evidence in the same dIrec-
ton was presented also by an increase
OF 83,0l1 tens in the untitled orders of
the United States Steel Corporation on
October 81, as against September. and
reduction of 100000 pounds in the
accumulated supply OF copper Although
part of this Is attributed to diminished
production and though the amount Of
copper exported or entering into domes-
tic use is not up to that of October,
1910. the fact that the large surplus
is not increasing but Is moving in the
contrary direction Is encouraging. But
tie most favorable development of all
In material matters was the Census Bu-
reau,s fourth ginning report, showing
9,S6S,172 bales OF cotton turned out up
TO November /. This is unprecedented
ir the country's history and indi Gates a
commercial harvest OF more than Is,
Gov, 600 bales. The price of the STAPLE,
also, hovers close arounl cents or a
shade bstter, indicating that the platter
is receiving an adequate reward for his
labor.

All things considered, the local stock
market has acted just about as well
as could be expected during the past
week. There have been some conces-
sions in prices, but they were to be ex-
pected in view of the anxiety Of the
holders of Capital Traction shares to ex-
ercise their rights and of other investors
to get In on the warrants. There is no
higher class bond on the local list. none
more favored by investors nor any more
closely held. The fact that the bonds
are practically certain to sell at price
that will give the buyers, through hold
ings Of warrants, a larger profit than
can be expected from anything else, is
an inducement to take slightly lower
prices for other holdings to make the
purchase of warrants.
1t matters not that bonds paying Just
as good interest, railroad issues, etc,
can be bought on a better basis, the
investor will have them.
The stability of Gas SIS is a feature
Of the local market. They are as steady
as possible around 110k.

IN LOCAL FINANCIAL CIRCLES,
By I. A. FLEMING.

Sales of Capital Traction warrants to
date, on the local Exchange total s2l9, ,103.
The Forthcoming issue of per cent
bonds is to be $I,6S0,0O0 1t Is probable
that some warrants have been sold over
the counter at the banks, but the
amount would probably not be at all
important.
In the opinion of many members of
the Exchange, an estimate of so per cent
as the percentage of the bond issue that
the stockholders will take UP, would be
rather excessive than otherwise. This
would leave an estimate of about s620, 200
of these warrants yet to be sold.
It is the belief of many stockholders
that the warrants will ease off from
their present price, 50 a hundred or $50
for rights on $1,000 bond. That they
will go below IS is not probable. That
they are a good purchase around s. or 50
is also admitted.
Just how good they are may be de-
termined from the fact that the banks
are willing to lend "a to IS a hundred on
warrants and to advance par on the
bonds when issued. The actual cash
needed then in a $4,000 warrants pur-
chase at $50 bond would be $500 to $500.
This simply illustrates how easy 1t is
to speculate in warrants.
Buying Of warrants is by tho strong
est houses in the city-and the return
seems just as sure as anything can be
in this city, where everything Is pros
porous, all of the time.
The Capital Traction Company and
the Gas Company have systematically
MIXED the city of its surplus cash dur
ing the last few years, legitimately and
necessarily no doubt, but MIXED just
the same.
June /, 1907, the s6,ooo.too Capital Trac-
ton per cent first mortgage bonds
were authorized. The first issue was
$a,E20 900 to shareholders of record
April 1S, 1907. In 1909. November ],
81, 900 more were authorized and now
two years later, $1.6sO 900. 1t Ia not quite
a closed issue but 1t is practically.

Because Of complaints by patrons the
Washington Gas Company is about to
make changes in its system Of piping in
Anacostia.
The company recently installed num-
erous mains, covering several miles, In
and about Congress Heights These
mains have been connected with the
Anacostia mains. without increasing the
size of the latter, and the result has
been a decrease in the flow in the Ana
costa section.
In some residences the gas will not
burn at all, while the street lamps give
only a struggling light. The plans the
company has prepared call for the sub
stitution Of twelve-inch mains in Ana
costa for The present six-inch pipes
They will cross the Eastern branch

Question Of Government Approval.

Though the intimations contained in
news advices from Washington that the
Attorney General might oppose the final
acceptance of the plan before the Su-
preme Court. on the ground that most
of the Governments recommendations
were ignored-particularly with that
suggesting the entire cutting off OF the
United Cigar Stores from the trust
were not sufficiently defined to modify
speculative enthusiasm, they Checked
the advance of American Tobacco Sc
curities. Again II is pointed out that
Wall Streets response to the plan
manifested by ten to twenty point ad-
vance in stocks, may create anything
but a favorable impression in the in
terror. and may result in bringing such
pressure upon the Administration as to
make the approval of the plan without
the restrictions recommended by the
Attorney General, a very difficult matter
for him' This difficulty would have
been obviated II the lower court had
accepted the Attorney Generals sugges-
ton as to a f1ve-year period. during
which the question might be re-opened
II competitive conditions were not re-
stored as contemplated.
or course, this is all theorizing but
II is just such features as Wall Street
is discussing. In addition, one heays
some very radical opinions, such as
that the plan, as approved, makes Presi-
dent Taft's utterances concerning the
restoration OF competition as so mucn
