There is a disposition to shift specu- iation from the industrials to the rail- roads, but it is hard thing to do. Trad ing mas become so widely diffused among the stock in the industrial division that it is practically impossible to make tho switch. It is probable that more people nave their money in industrials than in the railroads, and as the market is more uncertain. excitement and turmoil are unavoidable and incessant It is much harder to get out of the average indus- trial stock than the average railroad stock. United States Steel, Amalgamatsd Copper Shelters and probably half dozen others of lesser importauce. are about the only things a trader can swing in and out of important lines without running seriouse risk of loss There Is a larger and better field for action in the railroads, and there is hardlygan import ant stock in that list in which big action

cannot be had within a reasonable range. At the present writing, great many peo- pie would be glad to get out of indus
 trial holdings, but tests have snown that 1t is impossible to successfully liqu.- date. The sale of few hundred shares would break the price of many industrial specialties 5 to 10 points. Hence, holders keep their securities off the market. They had rather sit quietly on a thin market than run the risk of seeing quotations go to smash. There is a bank collateral fea- ture which Is a factor of quiet support to an otherwise shaky situation.
 The brazen declaration of an unearned dividend on Central Leather, preferred, has been one of the unpleasant incidents of the week. To pay this dividend nearly s2001000 was withdrawn from ac- cumulated surplus. whereat the holders of the common stock went into revolt. Down to date the kick hasn't done them much good except the satIsraction of having the audacious misuse of reserves called to the attention of the general public. Central Leather is controlled by practically the same element that dorni- mates the beef trust. Benevolent regard for the welfare of minority stockholders has never been one of the strong points of that aggregation.
 Railroad earnings are not showing up as well as hoped for. Completed reports for January are pouring in. Eastern systems are doing fairly well, but with rare exceptions western lines show further sbrinkage in net results. 1t is fact, nevertheless, that in the aggregate the railroads of the country are doing about all it is possible for them to do with their present equipment The number of idle cars has been reduced to a minute figure That is not because of the un- usual traffic, but because the railroads have let their rolling stock run down frightfully. They would not be able to handle any considerable increase in ton age with the cars now available. The roads that are in condition to do an in- creased amount of business constitute a very small minority. Railroads seem to be not unwilling that the country should be given an object lesson as to the folly of curtailing railroad revenues and de- improved service. They say they
