J. P., MORGAN SEES GOOD TIMES AHEAD. Famous Financier Says that He Can Find No Cloud in the Sky to Obscure the Present Commercial Prosperity. J. Pierpont Morgan does not share the peasimistic views of other and lesser etock market wiseacres. In an interview to-imy—something he rarely indulges in—he declares himself a bull on the country and its future. Mr. Morgan has been the most prom!n- ent bull factor in Wall street for over two years, and he insists his enthusi- 4\aotic optimiam has not abated in the slightest. Charging full tilt at the prevailing current etock market gossip, Mr, Morgan says: “It seems to me that the general pessimistic talk indulged in not alone in foreign but in local circles is in no sense justified by the facts. It may be true, as some of the captious critics declare, that at the present moment there are in the market many undigested securities, but ought not the character of these securities to be taken into consideration in a broad or comprehensive view of the J. PIERPONT MORGAN. situation? Are these securities sound or are they unsound; do they repre- sont value or do they not; for what purposes have they beon issued—those are tho questions, “To my mind and in my judgment these new securities are essentially sound and stable, and those who have them are in no wise alarmed because of their holdings Beyond all this, they are issued not to build competing lines, but largely for the purchase of rolling stock and motive power and for thy exteusion of other facilities necessitated by the necessary movement of the products of the country. “You will find that in due time this phase of the difficulty—growing out of these new securities—will disappear. “As for the general situation you may state emphatically and un- equivocally that it is most promising, with the country unquallfiedly pros- perous. In the iron and steel trade, for example—the barometer of the country’s growth, stability and business activity—there nevéF Was so great or so profitable business, Orders on hand run far ahead and the outlook is decidedly encouraging. “In short, summing the situation up, not only is there prosperity every- where, but the promises are of a continuation of that prosperity for a long time to come,” WALL STREET NOTES AND DOINGS IN FINANCIAL WORLD.
