Many Steel Orders
Are Accumulating
(From Henry Clews' letter..

Nrrom henry OleWS Letter).
1t is well known that there is an
accumulation of deferred orders in the
be placed, the belief grows that the
worst depression In the iron trade has
been safely passed.
The merchandise situation as a whole
Is certainly better than a few months
ago. In nearly every department of
industry supplies of goods are, scarce.
There has been little II any abatement
in consumptive demands, and Industrial
plants must soon resume operations
in order to satisfy necessary require
ments. In some cases demand is being
stimulated by lower prices, which are
desirable, not only as a means of re-
newed activity, but also as an aid to
lowering the cost of living.
In the interior the situation is slightly
better Easy money Is having a help
full effect in the West and the crop out
look is promising owing to favorable
conditions of soil and ample snow or
moisture.
In foreign trade the tendency is to-
ward increased exports and diminished
imports, thus restoring foreign trade to
the normal.
Europe has been a liberal purchaser
of our securities and is showing in
creased confidence in American enter
prise.
In London and Paris easy money con-
ditions likewise prevail. IN fact, owing
to the abundance of money the world
over, 1t is impossible to see how a fresh
forward movement can be delayed for
any lengthy period.
Some uneasiness is felt regarding de-
velopments at Washington, but Con-
gress will close in less than a month
and that disturbing element will then
be removed.
President Taft's reciprocity plans are
finding greater favor with the people
than with the politicians, and 1t would
not be surprising II the latter were
eventually forced to accept the broad
and liberal policy for which he has
lately so firmly stood.
The Treasury situation will soon re-
qutre attention; for with heavy eX-
penses and diminishing revenue the Gov
ernment Is facing deficit estimated at
$50, 100000 for the current year. This ex-
plains Secretary MacVeagh's desire for
authority to issue 500, 900 600 3 per cents
without circulation privileges.
significant fact Is that the January
new security issues reached the enor-
nous sum of S225,O0O, 600, an increase of
SIS, 900, 600 from the same month last
year. OF this amount $155. .0e6. 900 were
Issued by railroads. and of these issues
sss, 100000 represented bonds, S36, ,0O0, 900
notes and only $50, O00, 900 stocks. These
facts prove what was intimated in these
advtces weeks ago, that the issues dur
Ing the early part of 1911 would be un-
usually heavy. The majority of these
issues have been taken with a readiness
that is surprising and proving that IN
vestmcnt conditions were, after all, bet
ter than supposed.

Bank Cashiers Mind
Affected by Overwork

DULUTH, Mimi, Feb. 5.-Wandering
in a daze in Minneapolis, Thomas H.
Sexton, jr., cashier Of the First Ma
tional Bank of Huntington. W. Va, was
accidentally found last night by a cou-
sin and is now at the home of his
mother here. Sexton started for the
bank in Huntington Wednesday. What
happened after he left home he does
not know. He has dim, misty, troubled
dreams of characteristic street scenes in
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, and Chicago, but
no memory Of having recently visited
those places. The physicians say his
condition was ,caused by overwork.

desire on the part of the bankers for

The Washington Chapter. of American

,hd II Is Interesting at this time to recall
Ine gloomy predictions by E. p
hlpley, president of the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe system. made some
months ago regarding the dire results
tnat would follow the stoppage of an
attempt on the part of the roads to ad-
vance rates on shippers. Dire disaster

losses the Atchison system has been a
steady gamer in net income for the last
-FOUR years. 80
last six months in 1907 was s13,1S9 247, and
Tor the same period in the next three
years 1000, 81, 600 and SIS, SOC, ,547,
respectively.
The Street has been wondering wheth-
er the Hill roads could continue to paw
dividends. James ]. Hill was not a
whlt less gloomy in his predictions than
Mr. Ripley, but he has also been proven
false prophet.
That the great systems of the coun-
try should report such good net earnings
In the face of increased wages is an
evidence or curtailing of expenses and
OF the steady development along their
lines increasing traffic of all kinds.
1t Is slowly dawning on the minds of
many people that the fight to advance
stroke against any possibility of ship
pers asking further reduction.
Wise observers like Ripley and Hill
might see things wrong for publication
and effect, but they would scarcely go
as lar wrong as they seem to have on
their judgment.
The optimism of the Hartman sue
cession in deciding that this was the
time for double-tracking the great
Union Pacific system, in the work of
which millions will be expended, is
more in keeping with the progressive
American spirit than pessirnistic utter
ances.
Local securities have been quite ac-
tive during the past week. High
priced bonds are seeking lower levels
because there are per cent issues
that have merit back of them selling
much lower and the Temptation TO
turn the cash difference into bank
credits is an influence Cor the ex-
change.
Stocks are acting well. and through
out the week the investment demand
for many of the dividend payers was
excellent.
Bankers and brokers are doing a
fine business over the counter in
bonds and also stocks.

Troops Will Be Deadly tPitch
Camp on Morning Of 7th.

Early this morning the First bat.
TALON of the Fourteenth United States
infantry started on it's 200 mile hike
to Devils Lake. where it will be en-
camped with the North Dakota ma
tional guard. The officials have cen.
templated that eleven days will be
required to make the hike and the
troops expect to pitch camp on July
9TH.
FROM Bismarck the soldiers will
march through to Dawson. where they
will head north to Darlington, New
Rockford, and Sheyenne. From this
latter point they will go across to
Fort Totten and will be ferried across
the lake to the camp grounds.
The camping grounds at Devils
Lake which adjoins the Chautauqua
grounds, are among the finest in the
Northwest. The state has spent al
most $4,000 to park the ground and
to make many needed improvements,
and this with the boating and swim
ming as vel las the other attractions,
makes it a splendid place to spend
the ten days in camp life.
The national guard troops of the
stae twill leave their home stations
in time to reach the camp on July
7. They will make the trip by train.
According to the recent orders the
regulars will hike both ways on their
trip this year, although some of the
officers anticipate thai this order will
be changed so that the regulars will
return on the cars.
