reassuring. Gross earnings of the
railroads make satisfactory compari-
sons with last year, and the decline
in net earnings has reached it's worst
without any serious effect upon divi
dends. Railroad managers are recov
ering their mental equilibrium, as
proved by their placing liberal or
ders for equipment and steel rails.
These orders have been held back as
long as possible and their placement
reflects the imperative necessities OF
the roads. Some heavy orders for
steel rails have recently been placed
the total for the first ten months Of
this year being 100000 tons ahead OF
the same time in 1910. For cars also
liberal orders have been placed, aggre-
eating fully 10000 within the last
three weeks. The steel trade has GER
tainly turned the corner and higher
prices may be expected if present &C
tivit continues.
At Chicago and other financial cen
tiers a more hopeful feeling prevails.
Investors who have long held back
from the market are beginning to in
crease their interest in better grade
SECURITIES. For bonds there has been
slightly improved demand. Mer
chandise is moving more freely; buy
ers having recognized the fact that
prices are frequently relatively low
and stocks of merchandise abnormal
ly small. How long the slackened pace
in business which has now been run
ming for over year Will continue
cannot be foreseen. But it must be
remembered that in the United States
depression never lasts long and is
usually followed promptly by fresh
forward movement. The only him
drance is the political situation. 1t is
fOregOne conclusion that we are in
for another twelve months of politi
cal contest, but as soon as the results
can be fereseen business will begin to
resume its natural activity. Already
there are signs of exhaustion in eX-
IRENE radical circles and all indica.
tions point, first, to only moderate
reduction in the tariff: and, second,
to a slow and rational treatment of the
trust problem. Headlong action is ex-
tremely improbable. Congress opens
two weeks hence and it's program for
the coming winter will be fairly we'll
known.
Last weeks stock market ended
with higher prices and increased con-
fidence Underlying conditions con-
tinue sound and show no change, ex-
cept for the better Money remains
very easy, but gold exports have start
ed upon a considerable scale, chiefly
to Canada and Argentina. The weeks
shipments amounted to nearly $6,OO0,-
900 and more is expected to follow.
The effect will be beneficial in tend
ing to reduce the extreme ase of mon
ey, which really is too cheap. Appar-
emily some of our bankers consider
the present time more opportune for
the placing of new issues, judging
by recent public offerings. Europe is
looking with more favor upon Ameri-
can investments, never having shared
the fright over the Sherman law
which has been manifested by our own
investors.

work
Soon after the bond was signed the
doctor went to Cornwall. where he re-
covered his health. and returned to
London without any cough. which was
far from being pleasing sight to the
persons who had to pay his annuity.
One day he called upon Mr.. Walker

veying him with a scrutinizing eye.
asked him how he did. Much better.
