New York. Oct. 27.-Dun's review, Oc-
tober 2S. will say:
THE record-breaking cotton crop, indi-
Gated by the extraordinary ginning re-
port, means so much for this country,
in both its foreign and domestic trade
and in its relation to the money market,
that it fairly ranks as the most favor
able development of the year. The re-
sulting reduction in prices is in cotton
at lower stocks carried by merchants,
effecting a marked improvement in the
dry goods trade.
Further price reductions are reported
in iron and steel, with the effect of slim
ulating business. and consumers are plac-
ing order further ahead. Leather is ac-
tive and fr::?. There is an increased de-
mand for copper. Retail trade generally
is benefited by better weather. The
banking situation is strengthened by the
Improvement in the leading foreign
money markets
AS concern over the European polit-
ical situation becomes less acute, the re-
bcilior in China attracts more attention.
and Is having some effect upon export
trade, especially that in cOttons which
are checked thereby. Reports from the
principal trade Centers are nearly all
satisfactory. indicating a fair volume of
activity. and in the Northwest the feel
ing is that conditions in that section have
fully recovered from the setback of last
year.
"A somewhat better demand for in
vestmcnt securities Is reported NOvem-
Der interest and dividend payments are
estimated at nearly $l19.OOO,OOO. an in
crease Of g, 7Sl, 900 over a year ago Rail
road earnings during the first half of
October gained per cent. The sitrIa-
tion. as whole. is clearly one of ad-
"anCe. While the volume Of business Is
below full producing capacity and there
are disturbances in some industrial de-
partments, quickening of the trade
movement is apparent"

Few Able to Take Cheerful View in Face OF
Statement that Other Corporations
VIII Be BROUGHT to Bar

New York, Oct. 27.-The common stock
Of the United States Steel Corporation
broke Sl4 points in Wall street this morn
ing as a result of the suit for dissolution
filed by the government At the low price
heavy covering was INDUCED in by pro-
fessional traders and the decline was
halted, a rally of about two points being
accomplished before the close Of the day.
In London steel common broke seven
points before New York had opened for
business. The first transaction in Wall
street was at a decline OF points, a
block of 5000 shares changing hands at
that price. After ralIying a point the
quotation sank rapidly to 80, which COM
pares with close price of 5S12 the previous
day.
The trading was very heavy in Steel.
most of the transactions being in blocks
Of 500 shares and more. thousand share
transactions being much more numerous
than 100 share ones. II appeared from
the tape that small investors were taking
no part in the days excitement a total
of about 100000 shares of Steel common
and 10000 shares of the preferred changed
hands during the session.
Railroad List Strong.
The railroad list was relatively strong.
and this was due largely to the fairly
good earnings announced by the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific, both of
which showed small net increases for the
month OF September. Advance rumors of
the reports of other railroads indicate a
good showing all along the line and par
ticularly for roads serving the South
and Southwest. Strength of the railroads
reassured the general public and pre-
vented liquidation by many frightened in
VeStorS
Shorts had such a good opportunity to
cover their contracts to-day that the tech
nical condition of the market is even
weaker than it was this morning. and
further successful attacks on the mar
ket by professionals must be expected. 1t
is the belief in Wall street that if the
government attempts TO move under the
criminal clause of the Sherman antitrust
law, and there have been intimations il
will. Morgan and all the other bankers
will abandon the stock market and per-
The Washington herald., 1911-10-28

nit the public to|take charge of prices
until such time as it may seem profitable
10 interfere.
Some hopeful souls were trying to-day
to take a cheerful view of things, but
this suit against the steel trust means
that about a hundred-' other corpora
fons must be sued. The principal cor
pOratiOns of the United States will be
involved and complete confusion must
result in business. a continued and
positive reduction of trade energy will
follow. There is no means of knowing
within many dollars what the stock Of
any industrial corporation is worth. The
public is always slow to appreciate the
severity of a profound shock such as
the Steel suit has given to investment,
and for that reason the full effect of the
shock will not be felt for several days.
VIII Fight to Finish.
Early in the day the street was full
Of rumors that the steel trust would
answer the governments complaint with
Il confession of illegality and plea for
reorganization under guidance OF the
court. This theory was abandoned when
in the late afternoon an official state
ment was issued by Judge Gary indi-
eating an intention to fight the case to Il
finish and expressing the opinion that
the steel corpora ton would be VICTORIOUS
Judge Gary calls attention to the fact
that the stockholders of the trust will
suffer.
The extent of suffering in this direction
may be CLEANED from the fact that the
corporation has between 1900 and $4,000
actual shareholders. There are only
about 11O,00O names on the books, but
many Of these names represent large
groups Of individual shareholders. The
average holding of preferred stock is
about nifty shares and of common stock
nearly 100. Geographically the distribu-
ton is Worldwide
Because the steel corporation was or
Eanized to save several large companies
and the Pennsylvania Railroad from
reCeivership and because II has been
benevolent organization, cooperating
with its other companies rather than
fighting them. the great finanCiers be
lieve it will win its cause. In fact, they
feel that the steel trust has achieved
martyrdom at the hands OF the politi-
clans

TIE DANeEaous FIREcRAckgR

II is not too early, is it. to begin
talking about a sane and safe Fourth
of July? 1t is a subject that might
we'll be under consideration through
out the entire year.
The small firecracker should go the
way of their big brothers. This is
stated as a fact and at the risk of Of
Tending the youthful Americans who
find SO much joy and so much injury
in them. 1t is but question of time
when they have to 90.
1t is the small and insignificant ap-
pearing firecrackers that cause the
majority of the fires during that period
wnen they are allowed. The small
firecrackers nave thousands upon
thousands Of injuries to their credit
which have caused death
The little firecracker does not rend
it's victim as does the giant firecrack-
er containing dynamite and other high
explosives, but it inflicts slight injur-
les That result in blood poisoning or
lockiaw. In the end it entails more
suffering and almost as many fatali-
ties.
Many Of the large factories in which
fireworks were made are going out Of
business, and it is just as well that
they Should do SO. They were built
upon an industry that was senseless
and that cost too many lives each
year-Thomas Tribune.
