DEPRESSION IN THE
SECURITY MARKET
Political Considerations In
strumental in Bringing
About Situation

New York. February 2S.-The depression
of the security market continues to be
attributed principally to political consid-
erations, foreign and domestic. The ef-
feet is confined, as yet, to money rates
ana investment demand. but commercial
and industrial news is constantly and
anxiously scrutinized for signs of reac-
tion there. Except in the metal markets,
especially copper, such signs have not
yet appeared.
Prices of stocks at one time last week
reached the lowest level touched since Sep
tember of 1911, when the market was in
course of recovery from the slump which
followed the filing of suit to dissolve the
United States Steel corporation. A fur
ther drop in the price of copper last week
marked the difficulties of producers in
the reawakening of the buying demand
Something like a deadlock was reported
also between buyers and sellers of pig
iron. Heavy specifications kept up the
output OF finished steel nearly TO full ca
pacity, but new orders are below produc-
tion.
The agreement to arbitrate the railroad
fifemen's demands, thus avoiding a strike,
was an improvement over the previous
condition. The same was true of the
utpOSlliOn Ol the QutAiNdi IitSiutHbs 81
much remains, however, still to be solved
in both of these questions that last weeks
developments went but little way in at
forcing relief.
The stock exchange element was great
ly perturbed by the Albany proposal to
double the tax on stock transfers. The
effect is being aggravated by assertions
that Albany measures for stock market
regulation were being considered as
models by the Pujo committee at Wash
ington in the framing of its report. This,
coupled with the news that j. p Morgan
had been ILL., completed the discontinue
of speculative sentiment.
The necessity forced by the Union Pa
cific dissolution decree of underwriting
that company's holding of Southern Pa
cific comes at time peculiarly unpropi-
ticus. The practical wiping out of the
value of the stockholders subscription
rights has resulted from the decline in
Southern Pacific itself. Pressure on other
securities undoubtedly is caused by prepa-
rations for this season.
