Holland Reveals How Steel
master Concealed Con-
tract from Morgan.

Mr.. Frick, Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Car

port a hitherto unrecorded and strange
incident associated with the organiza-

the issue comes to trial then in all

This litigation Involves S12.O0O.OOO.
Why did Andrew Carnegie. when
negotiating with Mr.. Morgan and
others for the sale Of his steel proper
ties which became the basis Of the or
eanization Of the United States Steel
Corporation. make no mention Of a
contract which the Carnegie company
had entered into with a syndicate
which represented the Wheeling ana
Lake Erie Railroad Company? The
contemplated PittsbUrg Terminal of
this company had not at that time
been secured. But II was evident that
II certain financing could be complet-
ed the company would find the way
TO enter Pittsburg. Mr.. Carnegie ap-
peared TO take great interest in the
approach OF the Wheeling and Lake
Erie TO Plttsburg and perhaps IL was
for that reason that he and repre-
scntatives Of the syndicate which con-
trolled this railroad company were
the more easily brought into close
relations. -

AWAITS DECISION
Supreme Courts Tax Rul-
ing to Have Effect on
Stock Market.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York, Dec. 7.-Wau Street ex-
poets the Supreme Court to decide to-
morrow that stock dividends are not
taxable as income and for that reason
the shorts are nervous and those who
are looking for higher prices are on
their toes ready for great activity,
Should this decision fail to make its
appearance, there will be great dis
appointment and an irregular market
will naturally follow. This win be
so because the Street Is rather dis
appointed that the favorable action in
regard to the Southern Pacific oil
lands and the release of Consular
Agent Jenkins by Mexico had such
little effect on the general list. The
latest developments in the coal strike
situation, however, tend toward gem
eral optimism. Sterling continues to
fall, but a good many persons are
now accepting the theory that its
further decline win be reason for
advancing the prices of stocks In
Wall Street.
Sales are probably nearly finished
for the purpose OF recording losses to
be charged against taxable incomes.
Many OF those who sold have not re-
purchased so that there is a technical
short interest at least. This added
to the actual short interest, gives
Wall Street a rather strong technical
condition,
The condition Of the Federal Re-
serve Bank is not all that could be de-
sired. but there seems to be no dispo-
sition to make further attacks on
the stock market, but rather to force
liquidation OF commodities that are
held for speculation. The decline in
the foreign exchange rate will speed
up liquidation of these speculative
commodities, for hope of unloading
them i'm Europe in the near future is
fading and the interst charges are
beginning TO count. II was hoped a
