THIS WEEK LIMIT OF
NEW HAVEN'S GRACE
Railroad Must Separate From
Boston and Maine or Imme.
diate Suit Will Be Started.

Unless the New Haven railroad man
agement within the present week agrees
to proceed with the plan of peaceful
dissolution. previously agreed upon. the
Department of Justice will bring a suit
in equity to separate the road and IT'S
subsidiaries.
The only action that will avert the
threatened Government suit, II is de-
clared. is acceptance by the New.
Haven of the enabling act passed by the
recent Massachusetts, legislature, which
was designed to regulate the sale OF
Boston and Maine stock owned by the
New Haven.
When the negotiations between Attor-
ney General McReynolds and Chairman
Howard Elliott, of the New Haven
board were completed several months
ago and plans for permitting the New
Haven to dispose of its subsidiaries
through sale by trustees were ar
ranged. the Attorney General set July
acceptance of the plan by the railroad
company. He declared that the suit.
which already had been prepared. would
be withheld until that date.
Cause of the Hitch.
Plans for the dissolution proceeded
without hitch until the Massachusetts,
legislature interfered. Trustees had
been appointed after weeks of confer
ence. who were to take over the Bos-
ton and Maine and the New Haven
trolley holdings, and dispose OF them
subject to court regulation.
The final transfer of Boston and
Maine stock could not be made to the
trustees. however, until the Massacha-.
setts legislature passed an enabling
act permitting the transfer of this stock
from the holding company. created by
the legislature, to the trustees.
In passing this act the legislature in
serted a provision that all stock sold
by the trustees should be made subject
10, repurchase by the State at n fair
valuation" This provision was OBJ
tected to by the New Haven officials
as one which would inturiously affect
the marketability OF the securities.
Road Will Defend Suit.
Chairman Elliott, in announcing re-
fusal to accept this legislation. indicat-
ed that nothing remained for the road
to do butt to defend the threatened Gov
ernment suit. In the last few days.
however. there have been intimations
that the railroad officials may recede
from their position.
1t is in this hope that the Attorney
General, who wishes to avoid suit after
engaging In such lengthy negotiations.
is delaying until tho last minute the
filing of suit, the papers In which we're
prepared almost year ago.

IN LOCAL FINANCIAL CIRCLES

Developments having direct bearing
upon general business conditions dur
ing the past week proved more propi-
tious than had been the case in the
recent past The stock market. how
ever, passed through a period OF activ-
ity that established for several issues
new low levels, and caused, through
the resultant depression, recessions for
practically all of the securities listed
on the large exchanges.
Unprecedented crop prospects contin-
ued as the dominant bull factor, but
the monthly untitled tonnage report
issued by the United States Steel Cor
poration, as of June 30, showing an in
crease of 34,697 tons in the company's S
untitled orders. the first increase since
February. had a tendency to create
general optimism. while the enormous
oversubscription of the sl61, 10000
French loan showed that the foreign
financial situation is gradually clear
ing satisfactorily.
Aside from the state of the stock
market, the most adverse influence OBJ
served BE- business men was the at
titude which the Senate has assumed
toward two of President Wilson's can
didates for the Federal Reserve Board,
and the disposition of that body to
measure strength with the President
over the difference.
The announced intention Of Paul NJ.
Warburg to have his name withdrawn,
and thus eliminate himself from the
situation, had a very depressing in
huence, as among the leaders in big
business his nomination was regarded
as the strongest assurance of the sue
cessful inauguration Of the Govern
ments new financial system Concern
was felt for the attack made upon
Thomas d. Jones. but Mr.. Warburg
was viewed not alone as a successful
banker. but rather as student Of in
ternational banking and economic con-
ditions.
Among the speculating element stress
is still being laid upon the effect Of
the Interstate Commerce Commissions
report in the Eastern rate case, and
some Of those who have centered their
attention upon this decision go SO fa(
as to contend that there can be no
marked improvement until 1t is handed
down. and none then unless the verdict
be favorable to the transportation lines.
The actual undertaking Of the har-
yestfng of the great wheat crop, how
ever. and the indefiniteness of the date
OF the rendition of the rate report has
caused many to min1mise to degree
the final effect of the rate appeal
With a wheat crop of $50. 900 900
bushels, or 166. .oOo, 900 bushels more than
was ever before harvested. predicted
and the greater part OF it already being
garnered the feeling is becoming gem
checking a certain degree of prosperity
which must soon begin to sweep over
the country.
This great agricultural yield comes
The Washington times., 1914-07-12

most opportunely. Reports from foreign
fields show that in several of the other
great wheat producing areas yieIds are
falling short. Such situation neces,
sarily will provide a greater demand
for American wheat and thus maintain
the price of the product at a highec
level than otherwise would prevail.
Furthermore this greater expectation
will do much toward increasing the
credit item in the United States trade
balance, which according to a report
issued Friday by the Department OF
Commerce will be greatly decreased
during the current year through the re-
duction of the difference between ex-
ports and imports of this country. In
the report, which deals with the COM
Inerce of the world and international
trade balances, 1t is predicted that the
net export balance of the United States
be approximately $50 10000 less than
last years balance.
The steel industry has come to be re-
garded as the barometer OF trade in
this country. For months the inactivity
of the steel producers has been the chief
cry of the carping pessimists. The
last report Of the United States Steel
Corporation. however, showed that on
June 30 there were on the companys s
books untitled orders aggregating
4,0S2, ,S57 tons. This was very favorable
in view OF the estimates of last week.
which predicted that the report would
reveal a reduction of $4,000 tons in the
company's unfinished business. Predic-
tions are now being freely made that
July will show an even greater increase
in orders. and it is generally believed
that the steel business is around the
corner" and well on the way to the
state of stability which prevailed just
prior to the advent of the recent period
of dullness.
Though the country has not yet re-
covered from the suspension or the

York report bookings or orders, In many

at present are coming principally from

The sharp recessions in the stock mar
kets cannot be attributed to recent de-
ditions which have been gradually COM
ing to a head for many months. The de-
preston of the general list was merely
in response to the breaking of the Gould
properties, New Haven, and Chesapeake

WOMEN IN CHICAGO PRIMARIES

CHICAGO, H., Feb. 23.-Seldom in the history of Chicago has SO much interest been aroused in a political election as is now manifested in the aldermanic primaries to be he'd to- morrow, when nominations will be made by the various parties for one alderman in each of the thirty-ive words. The unusual interest arises from the fact that the primaries will afford the women their first oppcr- tunity to exercise the franchise given them under the suffrage law. Politi- clans have 10 way in which to esti- mate the division of the women's vote among parties and factions and consequently there are more wards than usual in which the results of the primary fights are in doubt. The situation is further complicated by the fact that several women arc con
 testing for aldermanic nominations.

NEW WALLS ID AID PROPERTY
Street Department Rushing
 Construction in Advance of Spring Rains; Extension of Subway Will Be Profitable

A considerable force of men is pushing the work of construction of the new Barker-Lyons concrete re- taining wall in Tombstone Canyon, above the Doyle house. The wall will be 200 feet in length. with a height of 12 feet. It will cost about $500. The work is the outgrowth of a com promise made by the city with MT. Barker in settlement of a suit which he brought for damages to the extent of s3.000. resultant upon his horst being carried away several years ago. The city agreed to pay him sl,500 cash. to be supplemented by the build ing of protecting wall. The council delayed starting the work for a con. siderable time. having only a few weeks ago ordered It's beginning. Ef- fort now on the part of the street superintendent is to get the wall in commission before the spring rains bring about possible flood conditions
 Along the same line of construction is the extension of the subway in Upper Tombstone Canyon, recently odered by the council. This extension will be about 250 feet in length and will cost about as much as the retain ing walls. It is to be started as soon as the walls are finished and will give needed protection to a number of properties.
