cLEWS' LETTER.


Filing of the government suit against
the steel Corporation was somewhat
Of a surprise, and caused sharp
break I'm the market for these shares.
It's effect upon the market I'm general
was comparatively slight. The separ-
alton of the ore and transportation in
terests from the company was a fore
gone conclusion, since these arrange
ments were OF a clearly monopolistic|
character In other respects, however,
it will be difficult for the government
TO prove that the steel Corporation
is a monopoly, and the drastic charges
made in the petition not only serve no
useful purpose but are unquestionably
disturbing and will cause more or less
distrust until settled. There is, how
ever. no occasion for being unduly
frightened. The supreme court is not
going 10 sanction any confscation of
property, and the steel Corporation is
likely to continue i'm business i'm spite
of government suits and tariff changes.

adequately compensate for increased

The money market plainly reflects
business inertia. Money is abnormally
plentiful and cheap. The demand for
currency from the west is hardly
factor worth noting, for theVrcasoH
that the interior banks have sufTi-
cient funds To- handle crops without
drawing upon their eastern balances.
Some of our western institutions have
i'm fact been lending i'm Europe, so abb
normal is the present money situation.
Cotton ana grain are now coming up
on the market freely. and the last
month of favorable weather has ma
terially benefited all late crops; the
yield of which, when final returns are
made will be found TO have been
greater than expected when the last
government reports were issued. II is
true that the business situation i'm the
west is somewhat spotty where partial
crop failures or collapse of real es-
tate speculation have interfered, but
in general the trade situation is better
than cNpectedta month ago, ond the
outlook is for' fair recovery
