WALL STREET GOSSIP

The recent rise in Northern Pacific has
not been difficult to explain. The road
has been well favored in crop conditions,
and is assured of another year of heavy
tonnage With big business and big
earnings the per cent dividend VIII os
secure: and the stock has been selling
too low for safe per cent payer.
The Steel Corporation has never had
so many stockholders as at the present
time. The closing of the books for the
preferred dividend in August revealed
q, rs names, against 1853 in MaS, 7O.6CS
last December, and 6I,llS in August OF
last year Owners Of common shares
for the September payment are estimated
at the present time ut about 4j,S2t
against ,324 in June, 34,2l4 in December,
1912, and 81, AZ in September of last year.
In a booklet on 'the 1913 flood and how
it was met by a railroad issued by the
Pennsylvania lines. 1t is estimated that
the direct loss to the Pennsylvania was
in round numbers $S,eOO,00C.
Erie Railroad did the largest years
business in its history in the twelve
months ended with June 81 last, but in
dications point to another record in the
current year.
Resumption of mining operations after
"a three months suspension in the an
thracite fields from April to June, 1872,
inclusive, produced ablormally heavy
coal traffic conditions in July and Au-
gust of last year in the effort to replen-
ish depleted stocks. Comparisons Of the
initial months operations in the current
year are therefore being made with that
heavy traffic period.
Nevertheless, Erie in July reported an
increase of S156,OO0. or 81 per cent. in
gross over the heavy gross of July, 1872
and similar conditions are appearing for
August. For the first three weeks Of the
current month gross gains have amount
ed to about $4,000, bringing total gain
for the year to date up to nearly
S2e0, 900.
The street is full of bears on United
States SteeI-of big bears, little bears,
and middling size bears-all of them with
a grievance. They say a bull campaign
has been conducted in the stock in utter
disregard of trade conditions, and that
the ultimate effect will be hurtful to the
market and to the country at large.
Now all that is too bad-if only it is
true. but the bulls probably have as
much consideration for the interests Of
the market, and of the country at large.
as the bears have had at any time in the
past, or are likely to have in the fu-
ture. The bulls think conditions in the
steel trade are changing for the better
and that il is only right and natural
that United States Steel stock should
discount the improvement by an advance
in its price. At the present level, Steel
yields the investor over ~ per cent on
his investment, and it is cOntended that
there is nothing in sight to menace the
maintenance of the per cent dividend
on the stock.
