The circular of Henry Clews of New York has the following to say about the “‘community «f interest” iGea: “September opens with increased activity in Ahe stock market. Operators of all classes are Tow returning from their summer vacations, invigorated by rest and change, and stimulated by the expectations which good crops and good business prospects naturally induce. No doubt reassembling of financial leaders at home ive progress in the various important ne- gotiations which have been in contemplation for months, and some of which must of necessity soon mature if favorable conditions are a Zoctor in their consummation. Control of many in few hands, scme means m is anything but convenient and t be found of restoring elas- ticity and mobility to the big sums of capital now effectually locked up. Recent develop- ments in Wail street prove that it is extremeiy a plans of the big leaders to of properties recently acquired; invention of holding corporations, of old corporations and other hence the the refunding devices intended to make the cost of retaining «ontrol less expensive. It costs much less to se- cure control of a stock selling between 25 and 100 than at 100 and 200, and this is the explana- tion or éxcuse of Some of the schemes whichhave recently met with such free public criticism. ‘They are but a part of the plans of the large holders to distribute their holdings without loss «of power; and, in view of the opposition which various of these schemes have thus far met, ic will be interesting to observe what new de- | vices will be forthcoming to take their plac 1 may be put down for certain that the large capitalists will take full advantage of favorable conditions during the next six months to lighten their burdens. Favored as they have been by another good harvest, they may with skillful leadership partially ~succeed. - It ca: within their power, if not prevented by ocutside interference or internal dissensicns, to | weld together more closely the railroads under their control; and by reducing the possibilities ¢ competition and through new economies they trengthen the earning powers of Adding to these con- ¢ and marvelous growth it is easy to under- v with which good rail- even at present fabu- stand the great tenacit road stocks are heid, Jously high prices. Were it not for the higher rates which ‘com. munity of interest’ has established railroad «earn s to-day be showing namerous “decreases instead of incrrases. for the volume ‘o1 traffic at large has rot grown in the same ratio as earuings, but in many is instances showing 2 po decrease, The last. annual report of the Interstate Commission, though | only covering the fiscal yvear c ng June 30. 1901, was exceedingly suggestive as- showing the trend of railroad affairs. The gross earn ings of A an roads in that period were 81,588, 52¢ increase of $101,451.223 over | the previous year; while the tonnage was stated at 226440 tons, & dscrease of 12,453,798 tons during the same period; a very r demonstration of the potency of the ‘com- munity of interest.’” It has unguestionably saved miliiol of railroad cap:tal from hank- rupt and reorganization. Such power if wisely used may be a great benefaction; but, 5f used to make railroads unduly properous, re. action will surely follow either in new com- peting lines, which are not so improbable as Some time supposed, or else in an indignant public epnion, which will insist upon Govern- ment interference of some =ort to protect it from raiiroad cxactions “*Curre railroad earnings continue to make Temarkable returns. During the first six months of the calendar vear the gross earnings upon 155.000 fles of railroad aggregated the enor- mous sum of $670,000,000, an increase of 000,000 over the same time in 1901 This . it is worthy of note, was made in spite the smaller grain cotton and live stock movements, and coal strike which began ir May. So n again, for the absence of rate wars and the maintenance of higher rates | through ‘community of interest.” While gross earnings, as above stated. increased 6 per cent, net earnings gained less than-4 per cent during the same period, owing to increased cost of opersting, higher wages and heavy outlays for improvements, new equipments, etc. This is suggestive.” Weather Report.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.—The most npte- worthy movement at the opening was Baltimore and Ohio. The strength of that stock was explained later when it became known that the directors of the road had au- thorized an issue of extra common stock to the amount of $42,500,000, the issue carrying with it the right to subscribe at par. In the same early movement there were gains in Missouri Pacific, Louisville and Nashviile, Denver and Rio Grande, Southern Railway, Reading, Ches- leter found to be false were responsible for a rise in Colorado Fuel, which soon later lost its | improvement. Initial dealings also showed bet- ter prices for American Hide and Leather (new- Iy listed); American Smelting, the local trac- tions, Chicago Union Traction and Tennessee Coal ‘and Iron. Following the movement, St. Paul, which had been comparatively incon- spictious, began to show marked heaviness on profit-taking, followed by rumors of a dividend | disappointment. Traders seized the opportunity casioned by rumors that the banks contem- | trials and pool stocks as a whole. Business fell off materially and conservative commission houses advised their clients to hold off for a decline. To add to the general feeling of alarm as high as 15 per cent and was actually loaning | at 11 per cént. The knowing ones seemed alto- The afternoon session brought a slightly better tone, but all hands were waiting on St. Paul | and supporting orders in Western Union, Balti- | more and Ohio and several other stocks helped | to steady the list. Announcement of the divi- dent action on St. Paul caused a rally of more | than two points in that stock and the balance }n! the list was strengthened, but not to any | Breat degree. St. Paul, on transactions in ex- | cess of (0,000 shares, registered a net loss of | 1% points. The day’s business was rather nar- | | Tow, though total operations amounted to over one ‘milllon shares. London was again a mod- erate trader, transactions approximating 25,000 shares, and 'a gain on the selling side. There was no demand for Baltimore and Ohlo shares | from that center. The money outlook was un- | satisfactory, with a further loss of cash by the banks to the sub-Treasury. The latter institu. tion transferred $100,000 for the banks to New Orleans and_paid out $200,000 for Seattle gold | received at San Francisco. There was no fur- | ther word as to gold imports and sterling ex- | change fell off 3 per cent. Railroad bonds were par value, $4,500,000. United States new 4s declined 1; and the 3s % and the old 4s % per cent on the last call. apeake and Ohio and other coalers.

In a general way the trade was surprised at the condition of eighty as made by the Government bureau report. As a result nearly all classes of traders were in. cluded in the buying crowd. At the outset there was a big business. Liberal selling was done only by outside longs who wanted to take profits. Soon, however, this same crowd be- gan buying in again, thus further contribut- ing to the strength of the cereal. There was some selling by a loading elevator, but little attention was paid to this movement, mis- sion people generally had good buying orders.
