How a Boom Grows

The Jerome boom gathers momentum
"a Il progresses. There seems to be
no limit to the spots" writes an Ari-
IONA correspondent, upon which
million-dollar corporation can be
formed overnight. And they are being
as quickly formed OF course, the
home folks take the first 100000
shares at 10 cents, while the outside
world hungrily awaits the issuance OF
the second 100000 shares at 81 a
share. Thus it goes. Nearly every
man. woman and child in Jerome has
an armful of stocks and is accumulat-
ing more hourly. The preachers put
their savings behind their faith and
fill their Golfers with the filthy lucre
between Sabbaths. Stenographers vie
with their employers for prestige on
the change, and school teachers keep
one eve on the stock ticker and one on
the blackboard. One cannot distin-
guish between common street loafers
and malefactors Of great wealth, and
the swarnper is a financier of much
renown. Verify it is jolly good camp
and profiting."-Engineering and

PRICES DISTURB
ENGLISH LABOR
Workingmen Beginning to

By FRANCIS w. HlRST
fRr Cahl. % Ne Tribune

London. Nov. Stock Exchange
business to-day was small, and a
good deal Of it was caused by ar
rangements for lending securities 10
the Treasury.
The working classes are beginning
TO agitate about food prices. A
sharp rise in the price of potatoes,
following the higher cost of wheat,
pinches those who are not enjoying
war wages.
Labor leaders are puzzled about
what to say as to governmental re-
strictions, much disliked in every
trade. The debate on labor shortage
and man-power will be continued in
the House of Commons next week.
The furious attacks Of the North,
cliffs press on certain members Of
the government possibly presage po-
litical trouble, but the position Of
the government remains outwardly
secure.
Government securities are decided
" frmer, and the consol market is
hopeful concerning the prospects OF
conversion.

SPAIN ENERGETIC IN

The energy of the Spanish govern
ment In developing the national re-

proposals laid before the Cortes by
Sefor Alba, the Finance Minister, says
1.-THE London Economist" Instead Of
the recurrent budget deficits since 1911
there Is now an estimated surplus, on
revenue Of 1,421 ,369,072 pesetas, Of
e5,4S4,935 pesetas, or about s3,s17,O 00
But there is an extraordinary budget
providing for an expenditure, spread
over ten years, of 2,133, 606,494 pesetas
or somewhat more than fS5,500 900,
which is allocated by twenty-five sepa-
rate bills. Nearly s15,O00,0 900 is allotted
to the reorganization OF the army,
more than fl2,000,000 10 that of the
navy; but education is to take s7,600,-
900; commerce, industry, agriculture
and public works f42,64O,oOO, and

One OF the first bills introduced, "The

establishment OF agricultural banks,
another for a state bank Of foreign
trade. Also,

People are people in Wall Street

People are people in Wall Street
as elsewhere, and when their inter
est in politics is emotional their bet
ting of money or their buying and
selling of stocks can no more be
trusted 10 forecast the event than
the corresponding reactions of any
other crowd. What the betting odds
in the weeks preceding the election
did reflect was a &eponderance of
sentiment in favor of Mr.. Hughes.
But there was a great deal of in
tense Wilson sentiment, too, and the
proportions, if they could be accu-
rately determined, would perhaps
correspond to the betting terms.
That is to say, Mr.. Hughes was 10
to 6 favorite In Wall Street senti-
ment. The division Of feeling In
this community was on the same
lines as elsewhere. Wall Street PEG
pie were for or against Wilson for
the same reasons as those for which
people were for or against him out
side. and not for financial or eco
nomic reasons peculiar to the under
standing of a Stock Exchange mind.

If Wall Street had not been so
distracted by the election news more
attention might have been paid to
the further development of Ger
many's new submarine campaign, or
TO the report of the Department of
Agriculture on crops, or to the in
teresting fact that the iron and steel
markets had got out of hand and were
running away. Neither the political
uncertainty nor the big advance In
prices the week before had checked
the buying Of pig iron. "The Iron
Age" reports, on the contrary, that
higher prices seem only TO stimulate
the demand. Some Of the new ad-
vances are without parallel in the
history Of the trade. Pig iron is
higher than steel billets were year
ago. Eastern Pennsylvania basic
iron last week was S21.50. 1t is now
s25. Corresponding advances have
occurred in all the other grades. The
rise in finished steel products goes
on. Commodity markets are OBJ
livious Of politics. Wheat and cotton
and corn went higher.

say either that pounds are at dis

The fluctuations of Steel common
were a fair expression Of the days
confusion. On the opening Of the
market the common capital stock of
the United States Steel Corporation
increased in value y million dollars.
In the ensuing four and a half hours
it shrunk in value 2 million dollars.
In the last quarter Of an hour it re-
covered in value l million dollars.
And if you should ask for any ra-
tional reason why the value of the
largest single body Of corporation
capital listed on the Stock Exchange
should behave in this manner on the
uncertainty as to whether Mr.. Will
son or Mr.. Hughes had been elected,
nobody could give you satisfactory
answer. 1t was a matter of senti-
ment, and sentiment itself is not ra-
tional. 1t is probably true that
majority of spectators expected
rise to take place on the election of
Mr.. Hughes, but that also was SEN
timental, and it might not have
happened. What a majority Of peo-
pie expect in the stock market seldom
does happen. The election of 1896
was one in which Wall Streets inter-
est was economic and material,
rather than emotional, and there was
not the slightest doubt that the sue
cess of Mr.. Mckinley over Mr.. Bryan
would be a great bull argument. On
the day after election prices ad-
vanced to 8 points, but such was
the desire of spectators to take
profits that on the second day prices
declined. About half the gain was
lost. That was extremely disap-
pointing.
