Business Far Ahead
OF Stock Market;
Traders Puzzled
Steel Activity and Rail
Loodings Indicate
Favorable Trend
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July l1.-General
business is way out ahead OF the
stock market and Wall Street Is
wondering why.
The Nations steel mills, employing
more than 100000 workers, Will IN
crease activity this week to nearly
SO per cent of capacity, which Is
considered pretty good these days,
Many economists believe improve
ment in steel operations, most M
portant of heavy industries, a neces-
sary prerequisite to recovery.
Factories were sending out more
shipments last week than they were
the previous week or year ago, as
evidenced by the early reports OF
rail freight carloadingS for the
period. The railroads did whopplng
big passenger business over the holl-
DAYS.
Tom. Dick and HarryS purse
strings likewise are loosening up a
little. it was indicated by increased
purchase and use of automobiles.
Sales of tires in the first half OF 1889
were estimated to be the best IN
eight wears. Earnings of the giant
automobile and oil industries for the
second quarter of 1899 have been re-
vised upward.
Belief that rearmament require
ments and increasing domestic in
dustrial activity will absorb more
copper has resulted in recent total
sales of that metal higher than IN
many years.
Retail stores throughout the coun-
try are selling more goods than they
have for several years.
But despite all these indications
of business recovery the stock mar
ket, which is supposed to forecast
business pickup, is doing barely
enough business to pay stock eX-
change members rents not to men,
ton other operating expenses.
Many traders and economists
have noted that the market for a
year has been remarkably sensitive
to European war fears. And al
though each day that passes with
out hostilitieS is considered more
heartening, and European business
and political sources have in the
past few days expressed increased
optimism for continued peace, the
share list rallied only feebly yester-
day. The Associated Press average
Of so stocks advanced a very small
fraction on a turnover Of less than
100000 shares.
Why hasn't the stock market an
ticipated the present business pick
up or even kept apace?
Wall StreeterS say investors still
fear: /. That because Of heavy taxes
returns on venture" capital would
not be enough to warrant its ven
turing" 2. That inevitable uncer-
tainties attend an approaching pres
idential election. 3. That labor trOu-
bIes might further cut into cor
porate earnings. 4. That above all,
there is still grave danger Of war in
Europe which would unSettle Amer
lean business. temporarily, at least.
BY contrast. rising optimism in
Europe was reflected in higher stock
prices in the Paris Bourse and Lon
don Stock Exchange, in the mod
crate increase in value of leading
European currencies in terms of the
dollar, and in the selling by Euro
peans of those commodities which
traditionally rise with war boarding
wheat, sugar and coffee.
