The 'iron and steel trade continues to supply a large share of the discourage ment which influences surface sentiment. The trade is in a badly demoralized con- dition and there are no signs of imme- diate relief. Competition among the man. ufacturing companies is very sharp and prices of the finished products have reached the lowest level in many years. The Steel trust Is earning at the rate of under $100,000,0 600 year and the profits of many of the independent companies are so small as to be almost Invisible to the naked eye. Low quotations are bringing a big volume of business and keeping great majority of workmen employed in the mills. which Is good as far as 1t goes, but hard on the stockholders. Fortunate ly, the mass of holders of the securities of steel companies are making no attempts to liquidate. Occasanlly good sized line of stock comes on the market and the result is almost invariably a sharp break in price, slump of points in Republic Iron and Steel on the sale of 3OO0 shares is a case in point. The market for in dustrial stock is thin and full of danger ous air holes. The railroad list holds fair ly firm. In many cases the standard is- sues, like Pennsylvania, Atchison, Balti- more and Ohio, Illinois Central, Louis- ville and Nashville and others of the same class, advance easily under moderate buy ing.

There are exceptions to this rue of course. A prejudice is held against the railroads which persist in paying larger dividends than earnings justify. In this list New York. New Haven and Hartford hold leading rank. Moody's magazine, q publication of good standing as a finan- cial authority, discovers that the New Haven has not earned the full dividend of per cent for the last four years and that 1t is still eating into principal in it's disbursement to stockholders In talk before the New Haven stockholders on Wednesday of this week President Mellcn defends this policy of paying unearned dividends and issues loud cry of pain because his shareholders and the public in general do not have full faith in the ability of the property to make up the growing deficit later on. The New York, New Haven and Hudson has been under the Mellen management conducting sn amazing campaign of expansion and Is tcundering about more or less helplessy in very deep water. The speculation at present is, will 1t be able to swim out? Mr. Mellen has become very peevish ln- der the storm of citicism to which his policy has been subjected. He has no patience with the impatience of others who question his wisdom in trying to spread out all over New England and contiguous territeiN, aE V V''

 Students of economies are very much more disturbed over the revolution in China than they have been over the war like displays in Mexico or between Italy and Turkey.

It Is a very black cloud that looms up on the far horizon although small as yet.

It is that sort of feeling which is at this moment overshadowing Wall street and the stock market and until the skies clear and the people hereaooats become accustomed to the new order or things there can be no settled or decisive trend to speculation.

The great army of owners of stocks and bonds of railroad and industrial com panies do not seem to be especially dis- turbed. Public liquidation has not been nearly as general as Wall street htera- ture would make it appear As matter of fact the number of stockholders has largely increased on the decline from the high price level of last July. Wall street has unquestionably been a heavy seller of securities but the great public has refused to take fright. It stubbornly holds on to what it had, evidently in .he belief that the reforms and readjustments now going on will In the end rebound to the advantage of the properties in which they have their money. They argue that the countless millions diverted to Wall street ends will hereafter find their way into the pockets of the real owners. They see an end to the usurious toll on cor poration earnings which Wall street has arbitrarily exacted, and to which it has not the shadow of claim. From the present agitation may result the great moral and business uplift in Wall street which the country at large has been hop ing, praying and working for ever since the stock market had prominent place
 in the affairs of the nation.

The stock market story of the week has been especially exciting and price fluctu- ations have kept within comparatively narrow limits. Many seasoned stocks are selling at prices which attract outside investors, and although the professional element Is intensely bearish values do not recede to any extent A canvass of banks and brokerage houses in Wall street reveals an overwhelmingly bearish sen-i- ment yet for some reason adventure on the down side of the market Is held in check. There is a recognition that the real situation is stronger than advertised and that the actual prosperity of the coun- try does not necessarily depend on inc whims, fears or caprice of the peop.s who happen for the moment to be pronni- nent in the financial and industrial world that the views and expressions and &C., tions of these men represent more their personal feelings and moods than that of the country at large.
