NEW YORK. October 1o.-European
war possibilities affect the American Sc
curities market, influence it. even at
times this week have dominated 1t.
1t is not of consequence that any reci-
tation. prospectus, argument. be presented
in this regard. Every brokerage office
in Wall street is indexing 1t. 1t is not
so much that customers are shy-as it is
that the broker and the banker fall sud
denly into conversation. They see
visions of tight money. They shudder
over prospects of New York gold ex-
ports.
If Greece. with her heroism and her
hypnotism. can with her spirit so pervade
as to summon conquering armies against
the Turk. If an actual war condition can
be created. and though for but brief
time maintained. there may forthwith be
such tumllt and turmoil as will spread
almost anarchy over Europe.

Railroads are put to 1t to handle the
traffic that is pressed upon them. They
could use a great many more cars than
they have, and. If they had better term
inal facilities. 1t would be a good thing
for the business of the country. How
ever. this is a deficiency which will be
overcome in time. The equipment COM
panies are pushing out new rolling stock
to the utmost limit of their capacity, and
that is saying good deal. Production of
freight cars Isl now going on at the rate
Of about $4,000 cars a year, and already
at least one important company is get
ting ready to carry out deferred plans
for the construction of a big addition to
the present plant.
Equipment companies are looking for
ward to at least three or four years Of
active business. Railroads have more
cars at the present time that ought to go
into the scrap heap than ever before
With assurance of heavy traffic ahead
the carrying companies will find some
means to increase their rolling stock.
In fact the projected financing for 1913
includes heavy expenditures for that &C.
count.
AS election day approaches, interest in
the national campaign increases Discus
sion is chiefly on the relative majority
of the victor expectant" and the subse-
Quent effects Of democratic landslide.
