TRUTH NOT WAYS CLEAR

By W. G. Nicholas.

NEW YORK. June 3.-Wall street
has been in q curious state Of unrest
and perplexity. It hears q whole lot
Of things which would be highly I'm
portant II true, and Is confused as
to just where the truth is located. The
thing which now worries a great many
people who have interests in the stock
market Is Just what stock to take in
the reports and rumors which every
body hears and which everybody Is
discussing with a greater or less de-
gree Of mixed credulity and skepticism
Is the row. or supposed row, between
the rival camps OF ]. p. Morgan and
John D. Rockefeller-more frequently
described as the Morgan party and
ground for i'll will in these quarters
is true. There has been more or less
friction between these two powerful
factions for q year or two. In fact. it
has been cropping out at times for
the past decade. It Is quite possible
forces are out of harmony. but just
how far they will go in a battle for
supremacy or for larger share Of
territory Is an open question. On its
settlement hinges to a very consider
able extent the course Of the market
and the progress which general busi-
ness may make toward complete res
tOration Of health
The latest supposed development which
now holds the attention of the street is
to the effect that the Standard Oil party
Is behind the campaign for the suppress
sion and embarrassment Of the steel
trust. The first open parting Of the ways
between the Morgan and the Rockefellers
was when the latter pulled out Of steel,
about year and half ago. on the
question of declaring a dividend on the
common. The Standard Oil people were
strongly averse to a distribution of earn
ing among the holders of common stock,
contending that the time had not yet ar
rived when this could be done with safe
ty and with assurance Of permanency.
On that issue the two wings dominant in
the control Of steel split. The Morgan
faction won out and the Standard Oil
element signalized its disapproval Of the
new and liberal policy by selling out
practically all Of its holdings and at the
same time bearing the general market.
That changed attitude on the part of the
Standard OIL group was taken about the
time OF the climax of the long Hartman
boom. and started a decline that did not
culminate until last August and possibly
has not yet seen its ultimate finish. 1t
Is well known that important members
Of the Standard Oil faction have looked
with dissatisfaction upon the various bull
campaigns which have originated within
the Morgan camp. They held back, os-
tensibfy awaiting the Supreme Court de-
cision on the trust cases, and that may
have been the reason or partly the rea-
son.
