the stock will sell higher than it is. But
small investors are being warned by
banking interests that the high cost of
living this winter and particularly the
high price of sugar taken in connection
with the frauds upon the United States
government committed by the American
Sugar Refining Company, will cause agi-
tation in Congress against the sugar
tariff
Although the beet sugar is innocent of
any fraud, it will suffer along with the
American company in the event OF tariff
agitation. Even the American company
is not guilty of any particular wrong
doing in connection with the advance IN
sugar. which is based upon trade condi-
tions. The past record of the corpOr-
alton, however, is such as to rob It of
all hopes OF getting fair play in this con-
nection.
Fewer Orders on Books.
The Steel Corporation reported that on
the lst of October untitled orders on its
books were S.66S tons smaller than on

have been reduced officially by the steel
makers. and unofficiarIy they are re
duced to whatever figure a purchaser Is
willing TO pay There is considerable
decentralization in the industry, except
in the steel rail department. and rails
hold firm at SOS as an invitation for the
government To- make IN attack. Inc
principles of fair play demand that the
government Nuke known its intentions In
the near future regarding the steel trust

to let the public know what IT proposes

In view the collapse Of the electrical
trust and President Taft's reiteration that
he proposes to re-establish old-fashioned
competition in the United States, II looks
as though the government would be
