to the commanding position held by con centrated capital and the ability of the financial leaders to dictate the policies If practically all the large corporations, in- cluding banks. The colossal power and force of this amazing old man has i'm pressed itself upon the community in q way to still further increase it and show the impotency of opposition to any of the plans he may have under way At nc point did he dodge his responsibilitv and the snug complacency of the old veteran obtrudes itself almost extensively upon thinking people.
 MT. Morgan has contributed powerful ly to the force of the popular demand for a subjagation of the money power. When concentration reaches the point where a man can convulse the money markets and business affairs of the whole world it becomes a deadly menace to property and to enterprise. Fortunately, MT. Morgan's instincts have been con- structive in the main, although there have been times when he has taken chances hazardous almost beyond concep- ton in matters where his personal for tunes were paramount. The existence Of this force lodged in one mans hands has become recognized as cangerous to Wall street. and the publicity given the Mor- gan testimony will nationalize this un- derstanding.
 European Situation
 Tagging over the terms of peace in southeastern Europe has ceased to inter- est the money men of this section, all though the foreign bankers are doing their best to exaggerate the importance and bearing of the negotiations. For eign nations will be a little more urgent in their demands for money during the coming year than they might otherwise |. Fg..s lrets af saB Balkan-Turkish boombshell, but the sanguinary outburst gives them an eX- cuse to do the strenuous borrowing which was ahead. It can now be made to ap- pear that the cash must be had and it will doubtless be forthcoming, as is all ways the case The foreign situation will probably contribute to the maintenance of firm rates on this side and may pro- long the stringency, although not to the extent alarmists predict. Our exports this year will run close to s4,200,000,o0, a total far in excess of anything ever before known. Our trade ba:ance for the 12 months of 1912 will not De less than S61e,- O0O00O The statisticians try to make 1t appear that nearly all of this enormous balance is spent abroad by tourists ana in the payment of interest and dividend on American securities held abroad. The amount thus spent for the benefit of for eieners is not as large as represented and the actual working balance in favor of America will actually run into the hun dreds of millions.
 Financial people cannot be dashed ipto excitement over the prospects of curren- cy reform. Discussion is almost entire ly confined to the work of the publicity machinery of the so-called Aldrich com mittee. Thf trouble is nobody reads the stuff excepting the authors and proof- readers.

He is an applicant for postmaster of Clayton, an office which was held by his fath- CT with credit during the administra- ton of President Cleveland.

 Dr. Inzer B. Wyatt of Huntsville was born in Ashville. St. Clair county, Ala bama, in 1871. He is a son of Capt Samuel As>Wyatt, brave Confederate soldier, who died when Dr. Wyatt was only { years of age. pr. Wyatt se- cured a high school education. In the fall of 1892 he landed in Nashville and matriculated in the dental department of Vanderbilt university, and had only $50 in sight to complete his education. By hard work and strict economy, and by the help of the good dean, Dr. Nor gan, he managed to remain two years at lnlS lHSlllulloI. i1t then Dfdcllce1 three years and finally graduated with honors in the New York College of Dentistry in 1900. In 1905 he took a post graduate course in Philadelphia

poison" in the background, and that it will be to the malicious interests of certain parties to stir up and prolong tle contest. This Is one of the points that is giving the big men of the street serious thought, and they do not sec their way clear. Several hundred mil lion dollars are involved and If the distribution of assets and equities is not speedily settled immense capital may be tied up to the embarrassment of all of Wall street. This is not idle talk, but is a serious proposition, ald is so recognized by capitalists, invest ors and spectators.
 Minnesota Case
 Of equal importance from the stock market standpoint is the pending decision of the supreme court in the Minnesota rate case Upon this decision will hinge the fate of state railroad commissioners. If the ruling is adverse it win very great ly enlarge the jurisdiction and authority of the interstate commerce commission and will be to the ultimate advantage Of the railroads. The rate question will be greatly simplified and many of the en- barrassments and complications which now distress the transportation interests will be removed. A decision has been ex- pected for some weeks past and the strong hint comes from Washington that the court will act without delay. A de- cisiof in favor of the interstate commerce commission will be a sensational advance in the grand scheme of federal control over capital, and can hardly fail to be far reaching in it's effects. As a market factor it's importance cannot be under rated
 The street has not yet tired of discuss ing the Morgan testimony before the Con- gross money trust committee. At first blush the disposition was to give him un- stinted praise for what he did and said and the manner in which he carried him self. Discussion later on took a some what different angle. Analysis shows that the wonderful old f1nancier rather intensified the general understanding as

Says the Register:
IF the facts are true in this case,

does not mean that he can he elected

In RESPONSE TO its inquiry for an
expression Of opinion on the sub
iect, the writer feels honored by the
