of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star
NEW YORK, June IS, 1913,
The fiscal year ends with the current
month Of June, and Tuesday next the rec
ords will mark the beginning of a new
year for most of the railroad industrial
and mercantile corporations. Set down in
black and white the record will be deeply
impressive. In a general sense business
has bulked larger during 1912-13 than in
any previous year in the countrys history,
but profits were less in proportion to the
volume of transactions and production.
There were several protracted periods
since 100 when the percentage OF profit
was far in excess of that of the present
erar but never when as many men were
at work, more wages paid. more freight
carried by the railroads, and as large
an international interchange of traffic.
General recession of the prices of the
products of the mills and factories has
been a resultant feature of over-expan-
sion and imprudent speculation on such
expansion. Capital and, credit proved in
sufficient to meet the demands of enter
prise. Profits were cut in half in many
important classes of manufacture and,
though the gross volume of trade has not
suffered greatly as yet, the net returns
vested capital has steadily diminished,
and progress in almost every quarter has
CONSTRUCTED or stopped.
Expenditure in the field of railroad and
industrial activity is held down to re-
pairs and maintenance Prudent manage
ments are not attempting TO 60 further.
Borrowers are quite as cautious as lend
ers. Everybody in the money world
seems to be in accord with the shopworn
phrase hoping for the best and fearing
the worst"
1t is upon such hazy conditions that the
stock market bulls are preaching higher
prices. In their language and literature
they figure that the worst is over. or
that 1t has been discounted. In q very
moderate way they act in accordance
with their theories. and the absorption of
securities is rather better than for some
time past 1t is not with hungry and
fearless spirit that they leap into the bat
tie, however. Timidity and a certain feel
ing of distrust over the accuracy of the
position taken is feature of bullish
pretension. Traders on that side do not
deny that they might develop higher
speed on the retreat than on the adj
vance. FIguratively speaking. they are
They try to make themselves believe that
stocks are a safe purchase because the
surplus floating supply Of securities has
been sold out. They lack convincing
facts in support of this claim. The record
of the tape shows continued and persist
ent liquidation during every active period

NEW YORK. June 2S.-ToWard the
close of a session which bid fair to be
the dullest of the year, the stock mar

sent up prices quickly. News came from
Washington that a final agreement had
been reached. with President Wilson 5
approval. on the plan for dissolving the
Hartman merger, and that the plan
would be pres nted in court Monday
Traders took the view that, under such
conditions. the assent of the courts to
the plan was virtually assured. Today's
sdvices regarding the Presidents atti-
tude. together with the statement that
the plan would be taken into court before
July I. the end of the time limit set,
seemed to remove the last doubt.
