The stock market survived the brain- storming out in Chicago and 1t has ac- cepted developments this week in Bal timore even more cheerfully. Not even the certainty of a platform committing the democratic party to decided tariff revision downward gave more than q should take such action had boen ac- eepted all along as one of the certain ties and the manufacturing interests have made their minds to accept the in- evitable with as good grace as possible. As before noted in these dispatches, the leading manufacturing industries have proved that they can compete in the worlds markets on a free trade basis. All that is needed Is capital enough to carry products to the distant parts and await the sometimes tedious process of returns. The great com psnies like the United States Steel cor poration, International Harvester, the tobacco trust. and two or three others of almost equal calibre, have attracted most attention because of the maginl- ture of their sales, but they by no means monopolize the volume of ex- port traffic to the old world and to all parts of the western hemisphere dollars of our manufactured goods in the year that closes with this month. brings this fact clearly into the fore ground, and goes far to strengthen tho faith of the American people in them selves, and in the boundlessness of the field for trade expansion.

Stock Market Survived the Brain storming at Chicago and. Accepts Developments at Baltimore
 Even More Cheerfully
By ". G. NICHOLAS

New York, June 29.=(Special.)- Bankers. brokers and the men In charge Of the headquarters of railroads and industrials, in fact, everybody in and about Wall street, having out-of-town connections, have been earnestly. seek ing during the last few weeks for ac- curate information about business con- ditions in every part of the country. The interests referred to aim to keep in closest touch with actual condi- tions and also with the "state of mind" As a rule they have no opinions of their own to back up. but want the facts upon which they can form intelli- gent judgment as to the future Re- sponses to this line of wholesale in- quirs\ have been surprisingly similar in tenor. The burden of the advices is that business everywhere is encourag- ing. It is clearly on the up-turn in all parts of the United States
 Manufacturers. almost without excep- tion, report expanding business. orders are coming in in a very satisfactory way, and better prices are obtained for product. The only cloud in the sky Is politics, and that seems to be given a subordinate place in the calculations of most business men and financiers, al- though nobody intends to ignore it en- tirely. It is admitted that the political situation contains clements of danger and disturbance, but most people seem to have made up their minds to be re- signed and reconciled to whatever may happen--a cheerful and philosophical frame of mind, which Is the result of long continued agitation, sometimes bordering on hysteria. General senti- mont in the business world is unques- tionably calmer than it has been in sev- eral years.

The Street derives it's greatest en- couragement from reports as to the en- larging business in the steel and cop Der industries. For little time it looked as though manufacturing in these specialties was being oveEdone, and that production would again over take consumption. causing a setback in activity and reduction in prices. This theory seems to have been a mistaken one. In both steel and copper trade is booming Production of steel is now going on at the rate of more than 30,- 100000 tons year. The steel trust alone reproducing pig iron at the rate of 5.509e00 tons. or vastly in ex- cess of anything yet accomplished-and this mind you, at steadily advancing prices. Mills are getting s2 to sg.50 per ton more than they were six months ago, difference which means s60,00,- 00c to S75,000.00 more net for the year. if the pace Is kept up and prices con- tinue atsthe existing scale. Steel men say that before the year Is out there will be a<rstill further important ad vance in prices. Quotations for securi ties in the steel companies and allied businesses have held strong with an advancing tendency, although not de- cidedly so as yet. Controlling interests appear for the moment to be content to let the public become completely familiar with the prevailing range. be- fore encouraging anything that looks like bull movement

It is that consciousness which is real ly a great inspiring factor of the in- cipient boom we are now seeing. Con- fidence grows as the facts about our trade development sink Into the under standing of the people Taking this big. broad view of the prospect, it is easy to conceive that even the biggest poli- ties cease to be regarded as paramount in making calculations for the future. Some such idea runs through the en- tire speculative and business situation as 1t is now found. Tremors and hys- teria have been replaced by firmness and courage. The better sentiment is all prevalent.
 The average of stock quotations Is two or three points below what 1t was a year ago. It Is not surprising that values should have been so well sus- tained A great many people of sound Judgment are saying that the improved general conditions would have justified substantial advance over quotations ruling last summer. That is true in a sense, but the same rule does not apply 10 all branches of activity. The largest expansion has been in the industrial quarter. It Is the railroads that have been under the harrow. Statisticians find that railroad earnings for the fiscal year 1gf1-12 fJune estimated) will foot up approximately s60 100000 in excess of the preceding eL months, but that
 the entire increase has been consumed in operating expenses and that the net figures will be between sS,000,Oo0 and
 s10,000, ,000 less than last year. instead of keeping pace with the gross. The high cost of living and restricted rates for traffic keep the railroads poor, com = paratively speaking. Investors see and understand clearly that the interstate commerce commission Is proceeding re- lentlessly along the ordained lines of restriction. and will not be likely to change their policy until directed to do so by Congress. That makes the invest
 ing public hesitate to plunge on rail- road securities. There Is more room for speculative expansion in the industrials, and speculative as well as investment capital ins giving a preference to the manufacturing and utility stocks.

KEEN SIGHTED GULLS.
Tests That Proved the Wonderful
Vision of the Birds.

Tests That Proved the Wonderful
Vision Of the Birds.
There is perhaps no other bird of
common gull. To convince a skeptical
friend of this. an American naturalist
once made some interesting expert
ments.
The two men were passengers on a
steamer where the spring ebb aided
them to run twenty miles an hour. A
dozen gulls followed them in the
fort and circled in graceful curves
over the water.
Breaking q cracker biscuit into four
parts less than an inch square each,
the naturalist handed one piece to his
friend and told him to drop it into
the seething waters on the starboard.
Immediately the bit Of biscuit be-
before it had gone thirty yards astern
q gull detected it and. dipping into
the foam. secured it. One by one it
picked up the other bits of biscuit,
though neither of the two men could
see them.
Tearing off a postage stamp from an
old envelope. the naturalist dropped
it overheard, The gull detected the
waif and made as If to pick it up.
But when within yard or so of it the
bird saw that it was nothing in his
line and glided upward again to his
favorite station on line with the
topmost truck.-New York Tribune.

In States at present Republican to car
ry him to victory in November He
could win without Indiana, Ohio. New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut
combined.
Mr. Taft's denomination means that
the Republican Party starts with an
aggregate of sure electoral votes con-
siderably under 100 and it will be nee
essary for him to win about ITS cleo
toral votes from those states which
were lost to the Republican party af-
ter two years of his administration.
There is absolutely no ground for hop
ing that Mr.. Taft can recover this
ground he lost in 1910. His renomi-
nation will make doubtful with strong
Democratic probability, practically all
the western states which now have
Democratic administrations, as we'll
as 10 or IL now held by the Republi-
cans.
These are cold, hard facts which the
Republican voters of the country need
to remember when they are selecting
delegates to the Chicago convention.

far from normal. The governors of
ten states, California, Kansas, Michi-
gan, Missouri, Nebraska, ew Hamp-
shire, Nevada, South Dakota, West
Virginia and Wyoming, have openly
Joined in the movement for the nomna-
ton of Col. Roosevelt. These states
have an aggregate Of 81 electoral votes
In all of them, there is very strong
opposition among Republican voters to
Mr.. Taft, and 1t is in recognition of
this anti-Taft feeling that the COVER
nors have declared for Col. Roosevelt.
The Republican voters in those states,
as in many other northern states, are
overwhelmingly in favor of the nomi-
nation of Col. Roosevelt and, if Mr..
Taft should be renominated at the Chi
cago convention, il. would be practical
ly impossible to get out the normal
Republican vote at the polls. Kansas,
Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and
West Virginia are practically certain
to be lost to the Republicans in the
event of the denomination of Mr.. Taft.
In six other states which now have
Republican governors, Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota, New Mexico, Washington
and Wisconsin, there is decided op-
position to Mr.. Taft, such that it is
more than doubtful whether any kind
of campaign that may be conducted in
case he should be renominated would
be able to bring out anything like the
normal Republican vote at the polls.
These states have an aggregate of II
electoral votes. This puts 1874 electoral
votes. from normally Republican
States into tho doubtful column the
moment Mr.. Taft is declared the NOM
inee OF the Chicago convention and,
with more than half of them, it gives
strong probability of Democratic sue
cess.
Colonel Roosevelt can carry every
one of these % Republican States,
with the possible exception of Mary
land and Tennessee. He would start
with 21S certain electoral votes. 1t
would be necessary for him then, in
order to win the election, to carry 9th
er Safes aggregating only 48 electoral
votes. There are IL northern States
which now have Democratic admins
trations but which are normally Re-
publican and every one of which Col
onel Roosevelt carried in the election
of 1904. These States, with their cleo
toral votes, are:
Colorado, 6; Connecticut, Z; Idaho,
4; Indiana, 10; Maine, 6; Massachu-
sets, IS; Montana, 4; New Jersey, IA;
New York, As; North Dakota, 5; Ohio,
"a; and Oregon, 5. Total 1853.
On the showing made in the last
three national campaigns every one of
these states ought to be easily Repub-
lican. Mr.. Taft lost Colorado and Ne
braska in 1908, but Colonel Roosevelt
carried both easily in 1904. On any
figuring which can be made regarding
these twelve States, it would be easy

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The real
purpose of the campaign of next fall is
the election of a Republican to the
presidency of the United States in No
vember. To take such action as will
make that possible ought to be the
first object of the Republican Nation
al Convention at Chicago in June
Some consideration of patent politi-
cal facts with regard to the electoral
vote of the country is therefore per-
tinent at this time.
There will be sci votes in the next
electoral college, making 266 neces-
sary to elect. There will be 100 votes
in the solid south, not counting Okla
homa and Missouri. Whoever Is the
nominee of the Democratic convention
will start with 100 electoral votes as
sured him and it will be necessary for
MIN to obtain only LOG additional elec-
toral votes in order to be elected
1t becomes imperative, therefore,
for the Republicans, in considering the
question of their candidate, to look for
a man who can be relied upon to car
" the electoral vote of the northern
al. western states. In only % of the
48 81, >es of the Union is the admins
tration NV in the hands of Republi-
cans. The states, with their vote in
the electoral college, are:
California, 10; Delaware, 3; Illinois,
~; Iowa, 10; Kansas, 10; Maryland, 8;
New Hampshire, 4; New Mexico, 3;
Nevada, 3; Pennsylvania, 1888; Rhode
Island, s.; South Dakota, 5; Tennessee,

z; West Virginia, 8; Wisconsin, 13;
and Wyoming, 3; total, 238.
II the Republicans can hold the
states in which they now have the
governorships, they will need only 20
additional electoral votes to carry the
next presidential election. Normally
the Republicans can be expected to
carry all these states except Maryland
and Tennessee. Deducting the 20 votes

which, under normal conditions, the
