PUBLIC UTILITIES AND TARIFF.

In IFS relationship, or rather lack oil
relationship, TO the tariff the public utlil-
itv business stands In position dlHercH'
from that of any other fundamental IN

investment securities This is undoubt-
edlv among the first reasons Tor the
~teadv advance of the bonds ana pre-
fcrred stocks of these compapies Ia the
favor of bankers and the investment
community generally of late years. IL
has been for long time practlcally
certainty I'm the minds OF most observers
of American business conditions that an
important revision OF tariff schedules was
bound to come sooner or later. Although
II is probably mistake to look to the
times Of the Wilson tarin law in the sJs
for guidance as to what may be expected
AS a result of the tariff politicles OF
the incC ming administration. It mas
nevertheless been nearly impossible 70
rid the mind entirely Of that recollection
Hence the tariff situation has been
great factor In turning investment toward
public utility securities as practically be-
yond its influence. This consideration mas

of Innending revision became clearer ana

The service of lighting and power com
panies so nearly approaches being an ap-
solute necessity of daily life That the No'-

One OF the most unusual years i'm the
cotton trade was that of 1872 With the
spring foods OF the Mississippi as

possibilities Of cotton at less than ~
cents pound. but the plan was aban-
doned when the demand from splnners
became so great that its continuance was
shown to be unnecessary. The demand
continued well into the spring OF 1912,
and the consumption was so great that

Sheep in comparison with lambs have
sold lower than for several years. The
supply of lambs has heen fully equal to

have shown less improvement than those

marked advance, and the year closes at

prices have ruled strong throughout tne

Steers were highest during September,
