an invitation to today's session of the
club, for while the former democratic
nominee for congress life has been an

the paper of Mrs. Peterson and the

that might be of interest TO democrats

and money conditions are favorable. Ihe
feature Of the market during the week
has been Reading common. and there Il
much mystery about the erraflc move
melon-cutfing. segregation. &c-l do not
explain the rise, nor does the excellent
earnings statement for March warrant
such prices as now obtain. The large
earnings for March were due principally
to the rushing Of coal to the market. In
anticipation OF a prolonged strike. and
were therefore somewhat artificial and
misleading.
After careful examination Of the
terms OF the indenture Of the Reading
Company. We are personally convinced
that the real cause Of the rise has
been due to some necessary buying for
control. not. however, In the nature Of
a fight for control The Vanderbilt and
Pennsylvania interests have steadily ac-
cumnleted the, second preferred stock for
years and now hold most Of II. They
also hold enough common stock to con-
stltute nominal control. but not An ac-
tuai majority. Now according TO the
terms OF the indenture. the second pre-
ferred may be retired At any time and
replaced with one-haif common and one
half first preferred II is obviously to
the advantage oe the holder of second
preferred to enforce this change. as one
share OF common and one share Of first
preferred Is more valuable than two
shares OF second preferred. But this
change cannot be enforced without a
majority vote Of the common stock
and no common stockholder would
vote for Il unless he was a holder OF
second preferred also. Therefore. the
have been buying enough common
to be sure OF a majority. This Is
not buIlish on Reading common by any
means. except during the period Of buy
ing for control. As soon as that is COM
pleted the stock will sag. A good many
people TO whom this theory has been
explained jump to the conclusion. that
under such circumstances the second
preferred Is a good speculation. but there
is another clause In the indenture which
gives the corporation a right to retire
the second preferred at par at any time
This Is very smooth scheme for the
inside holders. but not much use to the
outsider. as will readily be realized We
think the theory offered VIII prove cor
rect and that the change In the char
acter OF the issues viii soon be effected.
Meanwhile. Reading Is a good thing
for the ordinary operator to let alone.
Security prices have on the whole
shown frm underlying tone during the
past week. There apparently has been
steady but quiet absorption OF stocks.

newed demand from outside sources.

The report OF the United States Steel
Corporation. published recently. did not
come up to expectations, falling below
even the lowest estimates made. A
story was vigorously circulated IN the
street purporting 70 be inside informa-
tlon, to the effect that earnings would
be much larger than the popular esti-
mates. and there was some foolish buy
ing. based on thiE canard.
As the matter stands. the corporation
not only failed 70 earn the common divi-
dend IN full. but earned practically moth
ing for i1the common hut as was pre-
dlcted, the regular dividend vas declared
out OK the surplua
The best feature Of the report Is the
progressive increase BY months. which
leads TO the hope that the period OF
small earnings. due 70 low prices for
manufactured prnducts. has passed.
II is probable that a large proportion
OF the orders taken at the extremely
low prices have already been worked
up, as the plants have been running at
about 30 per cent Of capacity for some
time. and orders on hand are stiii larger
than at the end OF any quarter during
the last two years. The total net earn
ings for the first quarter OF lsIs were
81, s.s75, made up as follows: January.
t5.2s3, toe; February. ;5.i27.sso; March,
s7.I56.2E.
We must take into consideration, at
all times, the great fexIbility OF the
steel business. The smallest earnings IN
any quarter were in the FIRST quarter OF
1904 C13 46. .25oD. but In the second quarter
Of that year they jumped to 81, 40, IA,
and rose steadily until the first quarter
Of 1907 when they reached t6.503, ,70s. III
the maintenance Of the.5 per cent rate
now represents q sincere belief that
business viii continue to improve, the
action Of the directors Is not to be crlti-
cised. We may also note that the lowest
earnings usually occur at the bottom OF
stock market. and the highest earnings
at the top. However. there are some
material differences between the con-
ditions Of 1904 and those which exist at

dends.

Stocks Decline, but Recover During
Last Hour Of Brief Days
Session.
~ THOMAS c. eHoTwELL.


New York. May t-stocks declined
further to-day. but in the last hour re-
covered quickly. although they did not
make up all the loss. Some specIaities
displayed considerable strength The
standard issues all acted about alike.
Steel sold at the lowest price OF the
movement On the curb dulIness pre-
vailed. with Cigar Stores stock showing
greatest strength
The reason generally given for the
selling movement was that the 1Iissss-
sippi flood has done great damage This
is true, but for every dollar OF damage
the heavy rains have insured ten dollars
OF additional harvest. Money Is pIenti-
fuL The steel and copper trades are
looking better every day. The political
situation cannot become worse The
country is recovering at last from the
panic.
To admit that the decline in prices in
the last two days is anything more than
a raid or a normal reaction would be to
repudiate an the arguments given for
the advance. Those reasons are sound
and this reaction does not weaken them
II is impossible to see any reason for
abandoning the theory that prices win
continue to rise. The reaction has not
excited liquidation. That has encouraged
many persons who refused TO follow the
upward movement. but who will now
join Il. when prices resume the advance.
as they must very soon.
The bank statement to-day showed no
important changes.
