THE FINANCIAL
TRADE REVIEW
Collapse Of Steel Securities
Was Central Event of Tur.
bulent Week

New York. Sept. 26-The collapse Of
tho securities Of the United States
Steel corporation was the central
event Of . turbulent week In the stock
market. Enormous liquidation In the
common shares eliminated Friday In
an outpouring Of the stock such 40 had
not been witnessed for q decade. The
entire market was convulsed and 1t
required extensive support from pow
erful interests to check the movement
and restore q condition Of comparative
calm. Tho problem Of the relations
between the government and corpora.
lions was the paramount factor. In
dustrial conditions and foreign imam
cial and political affairs retained Q
supplementary influence.
The extent Of the selling Of steel
common and the decline in the pre-
ferred stock and in the sinking fund
second mortgage bonds indicated that
a concerted opinion had been arrived
at by powerful interests in the COM
pany which prompted them to rid
themselves Of their securities. A dis
turbing feature Of the situation which
seemed to alarm investors In steel
securities was the im%possihility Of
determining the exact cause of the
%upheaval. In general, It was laid to
the belief that dissolution Of the steel
corporation was impending. Widely
circulated reports that the corpora
ton had taken voluntary steps toward
that end. to avoid q dissolution suit
by the government, were met with the
attorney generals statement that no
such proposals had been made to the
department Of Justice.
The exhaustive Investigation which
the department had been making Of
the affairs Of the steel corporation
seemed to give point to the belief
that 1t was not to escape action by
the government for violation Of the
antitrust law. President Taft's
speech at Detroit dwelling upon the
effect Of the trust decisions Of the
supreme court in insuring competitive
conditions seemed to the United
States Steel stockholders here to be
another intimation of the purchase of
the government.
Admission Of the International Har-
vester company that it was prepar-
ing to dissolve and the institution of
new suits against minor industrial
combinations served only to increase
the uneasiness to which the possible
ity of dissolution gave rise, in view
of the enormous obstacles in Tho way
Of such action. Conditions in the
steel trade still were d~iscouraging.
The plain intimation was received
from responsible quarters that a re-
duction of wages probable would be
necessary. Prices Of some products
approached the lowest point Of a dec
ade, but despite the concessions Of
fered. new business was Of much
smaller volume. Such conditions
caused fears that the present dividend
rate might be in Jeopardy.
Throughout the week the railroad
stocks were comparatively steady. De-
feat of Canadian reciprocity vas felt
severely for a time by the northwest
ern group, which 1t had been expected
would benefit greatly IL reciprocity
were adopted,

HARRY WOLyERT0N
EXPECTED TO Be
YANKEES MANAGER
Simply a Matter of Salary
Between Him and
Farrell.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Despite the re-
cent denials Of Frank Farrell. presi-
dent Of the New York American League
club. that Harry Wolverton would be
the next manager of the Yankees, 1t is
believed that the former big league
third baseman will be appointed leader
of the Highlanders within few days
He will come to this city for a con-
ference with Farrell, and as soon as
they have concluded their financial ar
rangements Wolverton will assume the
reins of the club.
Wolverton played third base with the
Phillies and made a record as one Of
the best at the position in the game.
When Farrell and Stallings had the
Newark club Wolverton was with them.
When McGinnity took charge of the
club Wolverton declined to take orders
from McGinnity and quit. He has met
with great success as manager of the
Oakland club of the Pacific Coast
League.
New York fans are sorry to see Chase
supplanted as leader. for he Is Intensely
popular. He will receive his last year s
salary of 5000, 1t is understood, though
not carrying the burden of leadership.
