of 1 1-2. The buying of these two ut of the UnlteJ states steel cor

specialties was on an enormous scale and was attributed to the Harriman interests, who have been conspicuous manipulators of these two securities for months, and the action of the Southern Pacific gives more credence to the rumors that have been in cir

culation for months, that is that this road will be put on a dividend basis some time this year, and its declara

tion will probably be on the basis of 4 per cent per annum. In the industrial group the steel issues were the prominent feature and the buying of both common and preferred was on a large scale, both for investment and by shorts who oversold the market Saturday. The general market closed with a firm undertone, and the advance was

well sustained, particularly in Lnion

point of the highest point reached

poration. During the three months ending June net earnings were over $40,000,000; or two and one-half millions greater than any other quarter. During the six months ending June net profits were $76,750,000,

promising to surpass the best previous half-year record; hence the

dividend on the common stock, bo

fa ras can be seen the steel man

agement appears to be amply jus

tified in their confidence in the fu-1

ture. The year 1906 is certain to be the most prosperous in its existence, and hopeful expectations are now indulged in for 1907.

Thus far this great corporation, which has been under prolonged criticism and controls about 50 or 60 per cent of the country's product has been a steadying influence in the iron market, and if its present policy is continued should gradually establish itself in public confidence. The demand for steel products is constantly widening, and American railroads are certain to be very large purchasers during the next twelve months in order to satisfy the requirments of new construction

and extensive contemplated improve

ments. Our steel trade, however, it

should not be forgotten, is subject

to violent fluctuations. Railroad and

structural work are still the chief

avenues of consumption, and any abatement in activity in these quar

ters would be sharply felt in the demand for steel. It is only about

three years ago that the company

failed to entirely jearn its preferred dividend. Railroad activity continues on a remarkable scale. This week not less than four of our prominent sys

tems made most gratifying reports

for the fiscal year ending June 30.

Southern Railway, for instance,

showed an increase of $5,496,000

m gross earnings ana ssuu.uuu in

net. The Rock Island reported gn increase of $7,180,000 in gross and an increase of nearly $3,000,000 in

net. The San Francisco system re

ported an increase of $3,590,000 in

gross and $1,400,000 in net, and the

Atchison a gain of $9,668,000 in

gross and $6,560,000 in net.

Unless all signs fail some very interesting developments may be ex

pected in the railroad world during

the next six months. Our railroad

magnates have highly important pro

jects under consideration, involving the construction of much new mile

age, as well as important readjust

ment of relations between some of th large systems. Already there are

signs of strong personal rivalry be

tween some of the big leaders arising out of conflicting interests In

newly developed territory.

Recently crop demands upon New

York averaged about $30,000,000

each season. Not less than that

amount will be required this year

and possibly more, because large

sums in the interior are locked up

in various enterprises and in rea estate operations. We shall have an abundance o

wheat, corn and cotton for export

and a ready demand for the same

prices which, though lower than a year ago, will afford our farmers good

profits. The supply of foreign ex

change on this account will shortly

begin to materialize. Already there

is an active expert demand for American wheat resulting from the shortage in Europe. Time money continues between 5 and 6 per cent, showing that bankers anticipate

cod rates lor months to come.
