TRADE AID SEEN
IN WATERWAY

EVANSVILLE, Ind, May IA.
Prosperity in the Middle Western
States is dependent upon con-
tinued development of inland
waterways, giving Middle West
ern manufacturers a chance to
compete with manufacturers along
the Atlantic seaboard, according
to j. D. Beeler, general manager
Of the $50O,OOO Mead johnson
terminal here. He said:
Factories in the Middle
West will start adding to their
plants and will be taking on
thousands of additional en-
plOyes just as soon as they
take full advantage of the con.
stantly improving water way
routes to their important mar
ketS and are able to meet their
Eastern competitors on equal
ground"
Mr.. Beeler said manufacturers
in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Mlchl-
gan and Wisconsin are just be-
ginning to realize that they can
make important savings in trans
portation costs to the Pacific
coast, for example, by combina-
ton rail and water rates-shlp-
ping by rail to river ports such
as Evansville and thence by
water through the Panama Canal.

NEW YORK, May IA QN.SO-
Industrial stocks turned upward
in the early afternoon after a
further dip in the rails had un.
settled the market and caused
the establishment of new low
record for the railroad averages:
Outside of a new drop in United
States Steel the bears were un-
able to make much headway and
with the recollection Of last FRI
days sizzling rally fresh IN their
minds, the professionals were IN
ciined to be cautious about ex-
tending their short lines.
Rally Presaged
It was the prevailing view that
the market was already sold to a
standstill and in line for a rally
OF considerable proportions.
The rails had a bad start. Fur
ther discussion of dividend pros
meets was stimulated by the fact
HAT directors OF Southern Pacific
and other roads meet soon to

A new 6-point drop in Missouri
Pacific preferred to 5312 accom-
panied heavy selling in that
stock. It was reported that the
road would show nothing earned
on the common steck in the first
quarter of the year and a short
age of 100000 in requirements
for the preferred dividend.
Losses to FavOrites
Losses of to 3 points were
recorded for a dozen or more OF
the best dividend payers in the
list, with New York Central
reaching new low ground below
90.
United States Steel had an
other fainting spell and fell off
to a new low at 10812, but the
bulk of the industrials and utili-
ties refused to give ground. After
an hour or so Of dull and quiet
trading, westinghouse, Montgom-
cry Ward, Consolidated Gas and
other favorites made an effort to
lead the market higher.

ARMOUR CHIEF
OPTIMISTIC

CHICAGO, May 14.-An opti-
mistic note was struck by T. G.
Lee, president of Armour q Co.,
in commenting on the outlook for
the Nations largest crop-live-
stock-in a talk here last night.
He emphasized the Importance
of livestock in the economic pic
ture, pointing out that it is import
ant not alone because Of it's none
tary value-over 5000, ,00O, 900 an
nually-but also because it pro
vides the medium through which
many farming operations are
made profitable. The talk was
broadcast on a nationwide chain
by Halsey, Stuart & Co. Mr.. Lee
declared:
81 have faith in the packers
and retailers doing their respec-
tive parts in keeping the meat
stream flowing and if amongst
all of us we can continue to
move the Nations largest crop
on a daily cash basis with an
immediate outlet, for all prod
uCts and q ready supply for all
demands we will be doing our
full share in bringing this great
country of ours back to a firm
foundation Of stability for in
vestments and full employment
for workers..
eve are told that our current
business difficulties depend on
world conditions but we are q
mighty factor in world cOndi-
tiOns and it is my belief that we
can, through successful market
ing, control in a great degree
our own prosperity"

CLOTH MARKET

NEW YORK, May IA GN.SD.
Coarse yarn gray goods markets
were quiet again today. Sales Of
print cloths ran to a little better
total than on the previous day,
but were still small. Quoted
prices were paid for scattered
lots, none of which was outstand-
ing in the point of yardage. Bid
ding was more active, however,
both on print cloths and sheet
1ngs. In the latter group buyers
were interested in lightweight
grades, including bag conStruc-
tlonS. Mills resisted efforts to
force declines. Drills, twills,
Sateens and other goods were
quiet with only occasional small
sales.

N. Y. Pig Iron Sales
ShOv Slight Gain

Sales of pig iron in the New
York district last week were bet
ter than in the preceding one, but
amounted to only between 1000
and 5000 tons. One dealer placed
1000 tons.
This week activity has not been
great but one order for 500 tons
has been placed. Altogether there
probably is not much more than
1000 tons under negotiation.
Foundry operations are still
Spotty, but whatever change there
has been is for the better.

HOPEOF FUPTURN
BASED ON Low
MONEY RATE
Effect Already Seen in Bond
Sales, and Spectator Sees
Logical Benefit to Stocks
Bx The Spectator

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE
stock market has closed lower in
each Of the past FIR sessions
and there is no indication Of an
immediate reversal Of this trend,
The rail group has continued
to display persistent weakness,
while a last minute selling drive
against u. 8. Steel proved sue
cessful in breaking through the
support set up for this pivotal
leader and forcing it to a new
low level for the decline.
Hope In Cheap Money
Traders who hold the opinion
that q technical upturn is i'm.
minent should recall that during
the entire course Of the tGar
market, the rail stocks have
shown a tendency to lead the
way into recurring periods Of
important liquidation.
The most important sustain,
ing factor in the present Situ-
alton, as seen by certain obser-
vers, is the prospect that abun-
dance of money will force an in.
creasing volume Of funds into
the security market. Bonds have
already reflected the record low
rediscount rate and it is logical
to expect that a part of surplus
investment funds will find it's
way into high grade common
stocks.
At the moment, though, it ap-
pears advisable to permit the
market to work out its own So
luton.
Earnings Estimates
Lest the peSsimism toward
railroad stocks convey the
impression that all carriers are
gasping for breath, the follow.
ing prepared estimates of the
full year 1881 earnings as drawn
up by Standard Statistics should
be enlightening:
Atchison $3.50 estimated per
share; Atlantic Coast Line, $500:
Baltimore and Ohio, $3.50;
Chesapeake and Ohio, 81; Chicago
and North Western, $3.50; Della
ware and Hudson, 81; Erie, $3.50;

stamp selling business was discussed
and finally contract was drawn, turn
ing all the New York stamps over to
Cook and Buckley with certain per-
centage to go to Benson and Nicholson.
Later, however. the parties of the
first part" Cook and Buckley, decided
they would like to go into stamp pro-
duction on much larger scale and the
upShot was that another contract was
drawn, voiding the first, which gave
Cook and Bulkley the right to print and
sell as many Bicentennial stamps in
any town in the country as they liked,
provided 10 per cent of the net profits
went to Benson and Nicholson.

Bloom was trked to the point of dis
traction at the thought that the stamp
sellers, whose activities he opposed in

tenntal Commission stood ready to sane
ton the sale of Mr.. Nicholson's stamps
if the price were fixed at not more than
SIS thousand. Mr. Bloom insisted,
however, that they are not worth 50 a
thousand. Mr.. Nicholson says he will
agree to DR.. Hayenner's proposal. DR..
Havenner emphasizes that the commits
sion will not get cent out of the sale
of the stamps.
