: NEW YORK. January 1.-The most
sensational and spectacular, if not the
most remarkable year in the history
Of the financial markets of this country,
came to an end on a rising tide of
quoted values and a revival of activity
on a broad and general scale. Trading
received much of its impetus on the
final day when news of the settlement
of fwashington's differences with Vienna
over the Ancona incident engendered
q feeling of optimism in all quarters
Other favorable developments of the
week. which merely confirmed all re-

for November; a further advance IN
copper metal to % cents for future

r. r. Demand for Equipment.

Railroads are enlarging their de-
mands for new equipment and interna-
tional financing continues to engage
the attention of our foremost hnan-
ciers. The balance of trade is steadily
mounting in favor of this country and
new sources of foreign trade expansion
are constantly being tapped
Monetary conditions seldom have
shown greater ease. thanks largely 70
the working of the new currency and
banking laws, and conservative inter
ests are avoiding the pitfalls resulting
from possible imitation
The most cheering development in the
iron industry this week was the raising
of the freight embargo by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and other eastern INES ss
permitting shipments through New
Work 10 domestic consumers. The en-
barge against foreign shipments where
lighterage Is required is stiil main
tained. Otherwise the most interesting
trade feature was the activity OF the
railroads in placing contracts for rails
and bridges and the renewed negotia-
tions for $4,000 cars.

manner, notwithstanding the misery

of the population of the eastern hemls-
phere Approximately s3oo,00O,ooo IN
interest and dividend payments Will
soon be released, and much OF this
huge sum already has sought chah-
nels of reinyestment. Most lines OF
manufacture, quite apart from those
engaged in the fulfillment of war con-
tracts. are working to the limit Oh
capacity, that capacity in numerous IN
stances having been greatly increased
during the year.
The steel trade. an infallible barom-
eter of Industrial conditions, has known
no such prosperity since the days OF
big hotations, a decade or more ago.
Unofncial estimates place the net earn
inrs of the United States Steel Corpo-
ration for the calendar year at not less
than S125,00 1000. This not only meets
all requirements for preferred dlVl-
dends, but leaves a substantial sur

Copper and allied metals are at high

mand for these products, far from aoat-

fant item of the countrys enormous

NO PLEDGE
Roosevelt Issues No Statement
on Candidates.
Future to Decide; He Stands on
Old Declaration.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, May 11.-On his
return to Sycamore Hill last night,
Colonel Roosevelt declined to make
any comment upon the various rumors
which were spread in New Y ork We'd
nesday in connection with the meeting
of the executive committee of the
Progressive party
1t can be repeated, however, that
Colonel Roosevelt has made no prom
Uses and given no assurances of sup
port to any presidential candidate and
is in precisely the same frame of mind
he was in when he made his Trinidad
statement, and in the statement
which supplemented it, issued on his
return from the Chicago trip.
As to the future, events must decide,
and Colonel Roosevelt's own course of
action will be shaped by the attitude
he assumed in the two statements re-
ferred to. In those statements he
outlined the type of candidate on
whom the Republicans and Progress
| siyes will be able to unite at Chicago.
1t can be said generally, however, that
there is nothing in Colonel Roosevelt's
frame ofsmind which need discourage
| those who are earnestly battling for
his nomination by both conventions.
In addition to the members of
| the Progressive executive committee
whom he met today at dinner, Colonel
Roosevelt saw Robert Bacon, a Root
supporter, whose second choice for the
| presidency is Roosevelt, and former
Senator Marion Butler, of North Caro-
lima
