WITH THE STEEL STOCKS
SETTING THE PACE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Steel stocks
are back to within a dollar a share of
the prices that prevailed before the
Government fled its suit for dissolution
Of the corporation.
Excellent earnings for the third quar-
ter of the calendar year. and a belief
that the plans Of the American Tobacco
Company for a reorganization will meet
the approval Of Attorney General Wick
ersham, and thus pace the way for a
reorganization OF all other corporations
that may be assailed under the sher-
man law, has produced the change.

have played the game to loss Of a
large proportion Of the fat' profits of the
bears during the long peroid OF depres-
sion.

There was no London market to give
indication of action. and the advance

In the meantime. the preferred seeel
rose from a closing Tuesday at 105Ns
to l0S, practically where II was Thurs
day night and five points above the
low of the next day.
Wall Street traders were figuring on
$22 0O0, 900, and from that to $25, 900, 900, as
the net earnings for the third quarter
of the year When therefore the actual
earnings, net. totalled $29,522,725 there
was much surprise and satisfaction on
the part of holders of the Steel securi-
ties.
Regular dividends were declared yes

REVIEW Of THE
STOCK MARKET
Speculation on New York EX-
change Dominated by De-
cisiOn OH Freight Rates.
LOWER PRICES RESULT
OF FALSE ASSUMPTION
Antitrust Cases Still Hang Like
a Cloud Over the Finan-
cial World.

NEW YORK. Feb. 26.-Speculation
on the stock exchange last week was
dominated by the freight rate cases.
When it became apparent last Monday
that no decision from tho supreme
court in the antitrust cases was TO
be expected last week attention was
concentrated upon the Forthcoming rul-
ing of The interstate commerce com
mission and expectation that 1T soon
would be made known had the effect
OF curtaihng speculation.
Wall street. however had formed its
own conclusions that al least o sub
stantial portion of the increases asked
for would be conceded and general
acceptance of this theory was reflected
in the strength which the stock mar
ket displayed up to the time the de
cision was announced.
Needless Alarm.
This false assumption led 10 pc
riod of disordered trading when the
decision was made known. Heavy hqui-
dation which followed reflected more
truly species OF nervous fright on
the part of traders than any well.
grounded belief that the decision itself
would seriously disturb the earning
powers Of the carriers, as was shown by

as the first flood of liquidation was
checked by the appearance of support

securities are being placed in Europe.
the latest case in point being the sale
Of a large block of Central Pacific
bonds in Paris, would seem TO offer
ample evidence that American credit
has not been affected by the freight
rate decision.
Some Immediate Results.
The only marked weakness in Amer
lean securities abroad following the
announcement of the decision was on
the London stock exchange, and that
appeared 10 emanate largely If not
entirely from New York selling. Some
immediate results of the decisions are
apparent. Coupled with announcements
by the large systems OF conformity
with the ruling was the intention that a
programme of curtailment of expenses
would be adhered to.
Such a course follows the path
marked out for the railroads by the
commission and similar action by 9th
