Elliott Mentioned
To Succeed Gould

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, March Al
though official confirmation is lacking.
opinion in st. Paul railroad circles is
that President Howard Elliott, of the
Northern Pacific, will succeed George ].
Gould as head of the Missouri Pacific
system. Mr.. Elliott is expected to re-
turn to ST. Paul from New York the
first of the week, and it is probable thai
he will make an announcement.
Mr.. Elliott is a pacIfier and a dipIo-
mat. He believes in cooperation be-
tween railroad officials and the pubIfc.
He believes that the interests of the
directors of a railroad are one with
those Of the public
In these big policies Mr. Elliott. il is
salu' VIII receive the support Of the
Missouri Pacific directors, with an ex-
ecutlve authority that is granted to
few railroad presidents.
1t is said that the Missouri Pacific
presidency pays 10000 a year. Mr.
Elliott gets stated salary of $25 900
on the Northern Pacific, with an an
nual bonus of $4,000 from the directors
In the event that Mr.. Elliott should
resign, George T. Slade, now vice pres
dent, in charge of operation, is pickle
as Mr.. Elliott'S successor
James y. Hill, vice president of Nh
Northern Pacific in New York, and
John r. Stevens, now president Of tn
Hill subsidiary lines on the Pacific
coast, have been mentioned as posi-
bilities.

Outlook of Market
Viewed By Expert
(FTom Henry Clew's Letter. }

(FTom Henry Clew's letter.
Two elements of uncertainty are now
threatening the stock market-the Su-
preme Court decisions and an extra ses-
sion of Congress. The general impress
sion Is that the Supreme Court will de-
eide adversely in the OIL and tobacco
cases, but may suggest a way out OF
embarrassment to the offending corpora
tions. If the decision proves adverse
there will undoubtedly be much disap-
pointment and disgust among corpora
ton managers, because a large number
of concerns may be obliged to reorgan-
ize. This decision will AFFECT nearly
100 holding concerns, having about 5000
subsidiaries and including about $40, ,0oO
100000 of capital.
Like the railroad managers they will
be obliged to meet the law, and the
more gracefully that is done the better
for all concerned. Nevertheless, guess
ing as to Supreme Court decisions is
especially hazardous, particularly in
view of the popular miscalculation of
the railroad rate decision. 1t will be re-
membered that a compromise was gen.
orally expected, whereas nothing of the
Scrt occurred.
The reciprocity question will Lnfor;u-
nately reopen Ine IaT1II CO ltTOVe-Sy at
a time when business nee Is Iltedom
from political agita,i9n. There ell ca IS
to be little doubt coucerling th,. pas ssage
of the reciprocity measure, aEd not
much likelihood of any radical tarlff le-
vision during the extra session. 1t is
quite possible, however, mat consider
able tariff agitation may Re aroused if
only for political effect, especially as the
time is drawing near for anotner Presi-
dental campaign. For this very reason,
however, there is little prospect of any
important changes being made in pI es-
ent schedules.
The tarift is altogether too full of
excellent political ammunition to
permit of a prompt adjustment, and
as 1t will be the best material for
the forthcoming campaign there is
little reason to fear very decisive &C
agitation is a deterrent and not a
stimulant to business enterprise.
There is more or less talk of putting
such articles on the free list as vital
ly affect the cost of living, and there
is renewed talk of attacking the wool,
Cotton, and steel schedules. But, as
already said, radical changes are not
Droba BILE, at least until after another
Presidential election.
Time has been given for the finan-
cial community to recover its equili-
brium after shock of the decision of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Only railroad managers showed any
serious perturbation. Cur great bank
ers entirely ignored this factor in the
placing of their new flotations, thus
proving that they did not regard the
decision as in any degree affecting
the credit of the railroads. The trutF
is the railroads failed to prove their
case, and no injustice was done them
by the commission; since, if present
conditions are proved to be unwork-
al, will have full rf,,n Al .
for a rehearing after further trial of
present-rates. Many of the railroads
are reporting liberal gross earnings,
and there is little doubt but that, by
means of economy they will be able
to continue satisfactory net results.

Patten In Corn Deal.

CHICAGO, March 5.-The papers this
morning declare that "Patten covered
4. 100000 bushels of short corn in the
last few days at to cents bushel
profit
And this is the same Patten who an
to the world a short time ago
that he had enough and was out for
the rest of his time, and would devote
himself to the enjoyment of his money"
1t will be recalled that Patten met a
chilly reception in Manchester and
other English towns, AND returned a bit
sore.
A 100000 bushel flyer in the corn
market Is a very pretty speculation.

Costly New Terminal
For Portland, Maine

PORTLAND, Me, March 5.-Improve-

cost between sSOO0OOO and $4,000 are
to be made If the act is passed by the
Legislature to amend the charter of the

large its powers under the title of the
Portland Terminal Company, according
to an announcement made by officials
of the company today. The company is
