Dealings Under Shadow Of
Freight Rate Decision.
But Disorder Quickly Followed
By Strong Recovery. .
American Credit Appears unafiset- :
ed--Activiiy In Steel.

New York, Feb 26.-Tiie course Of
speculation on the Stock Exchange last
week was dominated almost entirely
by the freight rate decision. 1t became
apparent on Monday that no decision
from the supreme court in the anti
trust cases was to be expected during
the week attention was centered upon
the forthcoming ruling of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, and ex-'
pectatOn that it would soon be made
known had the effect of curtailng
speculation. Wall Street however, had
formed its own conclusions, that at
least Il substantial portion OF the m
crease asked for would be conceded to
the railroads. and a general accept
ance of theory was reflected in the
strength which the stock market dis
played up to the time that the deci-;
sion was announced.
This false assumption lead in nat
ural sequence to q period of disorder
er trading, once the decision was made
known. Heavy liquidation which fol-
lowed reflected more truly a specise
Of nervous fright or the mart of trad
crs than any we'll grounded belief that
the decision itself would seriously dis
turb the earning powers OF the car
riers as was shown by tie markets
partial recovery as soon as the first
flood of liquidation was checked by.
the appearance of support from tho
most influential sources: Mature con-
| sideration of the arguments advanced
| by the Commerce Commission in de-
| Gying the petitions of the transporta-
| tion companies. moreover helped to
bring about a more cheerful view OF,
| the situation and to emphasize the con-
| elusion that the decision was essen
| TALLY a most optimistic commentary
on the financial strength and sound
| ness of the railroads.
The point made by the Commerce
| Commission that the railroads are
stronger in credit than for some time
past seems attcsted in the fast amount
of financing now engaged in by the
transportation companies here and
abroad.
The facility with which American
securities are being placed in Europe.
would seem to offer ample evidence
that American credit has not been af-
fected by the freight rate decision.
While the effects of the decision of
| necessity must be subject of long
consideration before such adjustments
| as may be necessary on the part of the
| carriers have been worked out. some
! immediate results are apparent.
! Coupled with announcements by two
} 1drg" systems of conformity with the
ruling was the intimation that Il pro-
gram of curtailment of expenses would
| be adhered to- Such a course follows
the path marked out for the railroads
by the Commerce Commission. and
similar action by others of the corpor
atoms affected may be expected as the
first and most natural step toward
final solution of present difficulties:
now that the railroads must look to
themselves alone for relief.
During the week, absorption of
Gould stock and bonds continued.
Reports of increased milling activitye
i'll the steel trade were OF good effect,
Will. greater probability of an extra
session OF Congress was "a disturbing
influence.
