WHAT THE BROKERS THINK INDUSTRIAL TIMELY HINT ON CHANGES IN PRICES. STOCK ABOUT THE STOCK MARKET MARKET former conditions of earnings and profits. Efforts to show that the cut in the Illinois Central dividend is a forerunner of other cuts have proved unsuccessful. Perhaps the most important phase of the present railroad situation in the United States is not so much the question of rates as it is the question of adequate equipment and facilities to take care of the traffic. Traffic is large enough.

Nearly all the railroads of the East and West in the fiscal year Just ended earned greater amounts, gross, than they have earned in any other year, ine new fiscal year has started aus-WOOUrty; July had a greater volume or traffic than any previous mid-Summer month.

Under the circumstances, this is no time for any extended bull speculation, and if any is attempted, it will soon find its limit. Nevertheless, under the stimulus of better feeling and with reactions from time to time, the market will probably advance further. In any case, it does not look as though we should again see- the low prices of June. Many securities are still quite cheap and those having money to in- vest should not hesitate to select and of this economic cnange and have started to look up. B.

It is perhaps doubtful if stocks will go above the level now reached for some little time, so we emphatically advise caution in buying till there is a pronounced reaction. good and Bad Matters Which Have Lately Had Attention.

It is not an infrequent occurrence to witness a marked improvement in sentiment in July, the change being usually produced, or at least facilitated, by a clearer perception of the outcome of the crops. To what extent this factor may have helped the rise that has taken place both in bonds and in stocks in the last few weeks it is difficult to say. In our opinion, the advance has been due very largely to a wider recognition and a more general appreciation of what our banks particularly what our New York banking institutions have done to prepare for the inevitable demand for cash which develops each Fall.

Returns for the movement of grain from farms to primary markets a week ago show that this one class of freight rurnished the railroads with an abundance of work. More than 3C.0O0.O0i, bushels of wheat, corn and other grains were moved from farms to the primary receiving points, as compare with a little more than 12.000.000 bushels in the corresponding week last year and with a previous high mid-Summer record for this movement of bushels. Ten months have elapsed since the harvesting of the country's 1912 gram crops, yet here is a notew-orthy reflection of the benefits derived from the phenomenal blessings of nature last year. Railroad traffic is being supplied in large quantity, and the farmers are deriving benefit from a very favorable level of grain prices. Europe Is findinsr a market which can feed It, and wealth is being created.

The strike among the workmen at the Lake Superior copper mines has now gone on for 10 days or so and seems likely to continue for a long time. The cause of the trouble is the demand for recognition of the Western Federation of Miners by the manaerers and owners of the Michigan mines. The owners say they will keep their mines closed indefinitely before they will give recognition to this labor ofganizaton. As the Issue is apparently not one of wages or hours of labor but one which the mine owners believe to be fundamental, no one can tell what the result will be. The closing of the Michigan mines ought to help the securities of the other copper mines.

There seemed to be no special reason so far as the relations of the United States to Germany were concerned why the German Ambassador should wonder whether it would be expedient to beln a vacation. He did sail last week, having decided that he could safely do so.

New England will get about 33 percent of the issue, and the scramble to get underwriting participation is the best augury for the success of this interesting piece of financing. There are good bond market Judges who predict as high as 110 for the new bonds before the end of 1913. It is certainly an interesting fact that the New Haven debenture 4s of 1955 and 1936 have not declined in sympathy with the offering of the new debenture convertible to a point where they yield as large an income return.

This suggests that owners of the debenture 4 percent bonds expect to see the 6 percent convertibles advance sharply, once the financing is a definite suc- tion in Mexico.

Aug 3 Events are shaping themselves with mid-Summer de-Bbtration in the financial world. In the gtock market itself there has been a paction from the rather artificial advance which attracted attention through the later fortnight of July, and traders have turned wearily back to consideration of what may occur in the Autumn. Outside of the financial world, however, things have not shaped themselves with deliberation.

In the agricultural West there has been a great deal of shaping of an unfavorable nature. Hot weather and drought have combined to draw down considerably the promise of the grain crops. The corn crops will be, it is now figured. bushels less than 1912. In political Washington the currency legislation has shaped itself into such a snarl that it is feared that Congress will close its extra session without completing its of giving the country 8 2 -lie 1 -2 1650 Central Leather.

In practically all of these the figure of the fiscal year 1913 exceed those of the former high record year, 1912. Imports of raw materials for use In the manufacturing industries exceed those of 1912 by and imports of.

manufactures for further use in manufacturing exceed those of last year while exports of the products of the factories exceed those of 1912 by $167,000,000. Cotton, silk, fibers, tobacco, hides, lumber, copper, pig iron and chemicals used in manufacturing all show increases in the quantity imported in 1913 compared with 1912; while In the other principal manufacturers' materials, such as wool, rubber, tin and iron ore, the ligutes of 1913 differ only little from those of 1912. The total value of all imports for the year was $1,812,978,234. against $1,653,264,934 in 1912, and of ex-portr: $2,465,884,149, against $2,204,1.22,409 in 1912. These increases in the inward movements of manufacturers' materials ia 1913, when compared with the former high-record year.

1912, seem to indicate a general activity in the industrial interests, and this view is supported by figures relating to domestic movements of manufacturers' materials The eastward movements of iron ore through the Soo Canal from the opening or navigation on the lakes to July 1913, as shown by the monthly reports ot the general superintendent of the canal, aggregated 15,250,000 tons, against in the same period of 1912 and 8,250,000 in the like period of 1911. The wheat movements through the canal were 53,500,000 bushels, against 47,500,000 in the same period of last year; other grain, 33,000.000 bushels, against lS.oOO.OOO; flour. 2,500.000 barrels, against and all freights. short tons, against 15.350,009 in the same period of last year; while west-bound freights through the canal were 7.000.000 tons, against 4,500,000 in the same period of last year. 5 140 140 83 83 59 50 6 3-16 6 16 16 .30 .30 4 5 15 16 4714 49 80 18 18 1 1 6 6 3 4 101 101 6 6 15 15 70 78 89 90 88 DO 3 3 7 7 98 98 70 78 89 90 88 90 7 7 15 do pr 92 92 82 32100 Chesapeake ft O.

The trend has changed; and the investor who purchases at the present time, or the trader who bases his commitments on the assumption that the bear market is now a matter of history probably will have cause for self-congratulation. Of course, great discretion and caution must be observed in making investments or speculative commitments. We have been through a very trying period.

V. 1004 100 3 the intervention by the United States in Mexico none of them would have deemed it wise to be out of th country at this time. That would be specially true of the German Ambassador. The Count von Bernstofff's friends i this city afid Newport a few days vo had some reason to suspect, as they thought, that he and the Diplomatic Corps at Washington looked upon intervention in MexicD bv the United States as within the immediate possibilities, even probabilities, k. A count must have heard something semiauthoritatively which persuaded him that it is not the purpose of the Administration at Washington, at present at least and probably never, to intervene in Mexico.

Ignorance of Geography. Some of those who represent European countries at Washington have informally reported to their American friends recently that the ignorance of the people of Europe, and even of some of those who have to do with high affairs of state, of the geography of the American continent, especially of Mexico, Central America, the Isthmus and the Northern portions of South America, is about as complete as that of a schoolboy when he first opens his geography. The vaguest possible ideas as to tne geographical relations of the Isthmus of Panama to North and South America characterizes almost all of the plain people and many of those who are ln public station. To illustrate the extent to which this ignorance prevails, a story has been in circulation in diplomatic circles at Washington and repeated at New YorK and at Newport within a day or two, of a recent incident in London. Anew minister from Venezuela presented his credentials to King George with the customary formalities.

The money market is still very tight, but the same thing holds true of this as of the Stock Market, that when things looks their worst a change always comes for the better.

This is practically true of money, because high rates are their own corrective. Bank reserves are accumulating and while there is no prospect of an Immediate ease, danger of a severe pinch is much less than it was. If our own experience is any criterion, there has been an unsually large proportion of stocks recently bought and pai8 for in full. Wj are inclined to think that more stock have been taken out of the market in the last two months than in the previous six. Hunt, Ellis Co.

The all-Important question at present is whether the recent rally in the stock market is to go farther, or in other words, whether it constitutes an overdue rally in the bear market or the beginning of a new bull market. Much can be said on both sides, but the weight of opinion and deduction seems to lean to the constructive view. Investment markets have been thoroughly liquidated the world over and are how recuperating. Previously undigested securities Have been distributed and the big underwriting houses, at least in the United States, have been lightening their load. The market for long-term issues has vastly improved, as evidenced by the recent sale of Southern Railway bonds and the contemplated New Haven convertible bond offering.

The turn of the bond market is the most hopeful sign in months. W. G. Nickerson Co. The continuation of the strike at LaKe Superior, with the weekly loss of over 4,000,000 pounds in copper output, has kept the copper metal market strong, and the buying movement has reached a very large total some say over 200 000.000 pounds.

The price was raised to 15c, but very little business was done at this figure. Calumet Hecla made large sales at 14c and then withdrew from the market, partly on account of uncertainty as to duration of the strike and partly because of the expectation of a better price this Fall. Wiggln A Elwell. The Stock Market has shown a reactionary tendency since Monday, and we believe that the top of the advance which has been in progress for several weeks was reached on that day, and that advantage should now be taken of strong days to sell stocks. While nearly all fundamental conditions are unsatisfactory and likelv to prevent sustained Improvement in either securities or business, the money situation- Is.

perhaps, the most Th condition of the banks, which in Anril was the weakest In manv years, has shown only the normal improvement to be expected at this season, and they are probably too extended to be able t0.meeit the. moving requirements without reducing loans and forcing liquidation. 155 151151 24 nited States Publicity Company.

Reports to the Interstate Commerce Commission indicate that the Boston Maine for the fiscal year Just ended barely earned its fixed charges. If the company makes up the accounts in the usual the annual report should show a surplus or else a deficit of onlv a few thousand dollars. However it may well be that recent changes mark a permanent turn for the better. Gross earnings established a new high record in 1912 and exceeded this record in 1913 so that the net is principally a question of economy and efficiency. The new management in our opinion is entirely in its plan of petitioning the Interstate Commerce Commission for a general advance in rates: for as previously pointed out both its freight and its passenger rates are so low as to represent exceptionally small compensation for the transportation service rendered It would apparently require a horizontal advance of nearly 9 percent in all Its tariffs to raise its compensation to the equivalent of that received bv other roads.

This consideration ought'to have great weight with the commission, and besides that it is to be hoped that operating expenses may now be reduced With good management plus a moderl ate amount of good fortune the stock could probably be remade Into an investment: and on the chance that this will occur it is perhaps a fair speculation at these prices. in fact close by tne fanama anai. That was all the information the king needed. In his formal words of greeting to the new minister from Venezuela the king intimated that it must be very pleasant to live in a capital so near the great work about completed at Panama by which the Atlantic and the Pacific are to be connected by navigable waters. The Venezuelan diplomat, being trained to his calling, smiled and bowed grave-lv, permitting the king to remain in ignorance of the fact that Caracas is the capital of Venezuela and many hundred miles from the Panama Canal.

This story has worked its way gradually into diplomatic circles and is vouched for as being absolutely accurate. It is no cause for wonder, therefore, that the plain people of Great Britain and Europe are also ignorant of geography. 439 Wolverine 45 100 Wyandot iO -1 2 2 200 Mercantile .1 .,1 3 200 do pr 14 14 14 4,100 Mex 61 KSV 58 2800 Miami Cona Cop. 22 J22 700 MInneap St L. 1S 14 15 100 do pr 38 38 38 600 M.

In numerous other lines of transportation and in the great manufacturing industries for which recent figures are available the indications of activity are equally apparent. Many of the great railway systems of the country show in their May statements, as published by the New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle, larger gross receipts than in the corresponding peiiod of last year. The net surplus of idle freight cars in the T'nited States and Canada on June 30, 1913, was reported by the American Railway Assoc ation as 63,704, against 67,713 at the corresponding date last year. Anthracite coal shipments in the- first half of 1913, as published by the New York Commercial and Financial Chronicle, were 34.852,000 tons, against 26.01'T.-000 tons in the first half of 1912. Lake Superior iron ore shipments in the tirst half of 1913 are reported by the same authority as over 16.000,000 tons, against 13,500,000 in the same period of last year, and the production of pig iron in the six months ended with June.

1913, is reported by the Nev YorkJoui-nal of Commerce at 16,350,000 tons, against about 14,000,000 in the corresponding six months of last year. The unfilled orders of the United States Steel Corporation on June 30,1913. are reported by that organization as tons, against 5,807,346 at the same date of 19L' and at the corresponding date of 1911. The exports of iron and steel manufactures in the fiscal year 1913 approximated, acording to the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. against $268,000,000 in 1912, and the total exports of manufactures other than foodstuffs are $1, 187,000,000.

against $1,020,000,000 in 1912. The copper production in the first six months of 1913 is reported by the Copper Producers' Association at 8fi9.194.000 pounds, against 735,586,000 pounds in the same period of 1912, and the exports of copper and manufactures thereof (exclusive of ore approximate $140,000,000 in the fiscal year 1913. against J114.0O0.000 In 1912. Turning to the financial side, the Individual deposits in National banks are reported by the Controller of the Currency at $5,953,000,000 on June 4, 1913, against $5,825,000,000 on June 14. 1912: their loans and discounts.

Wall Street bankers look upon the Washington developments In different ways, but it is felt that the developments show emphatically the need for cold, sober consideration of all the provisions that are to go into the new Banking and Currency bill. An important event of the week was the reduction In the Illinois Central Railroad dividend.

Following close on the heels of the New Haven, the Illinois Central lowered Its rate from a long- level. Fifteen years ago this road Increased its distribution to shareholders to an annual rate of 6 percent; e'Kht years ago it improved on this and fixed its annual dividend at 7 percent. On Wednesday the 7 percent rate was abandoned and 6 percent was substituted in its stead. There are now only four among the country's large railroads whose stock issues can be placed in the list of 7 percent stocks. They are the Northern, the Northern Pacific, the Omaha and the Northwestern.

Both the St Paul and the Illinois Central, o'd-time 7 percent roads, have abandoned their higher rates for lower. Whether there is prospect of early reetoration of the former dividends is which the Investment market earnestly debating. The St Paul has made enormous strides since Its directors found it incumbent upon them to cerserve the company's resources; in the last fiscal year that road made greater strides than any other road in the United States. thev mlRht know what the meaning behind this conferred honor was.

WEST BRIDOEWATER, Aug 3 The police made a raid today on an allested outdoor gambling resort and they also held up 30 automobiles or motorcycles for failing to blow their horns while crossing the square here, as required by town ordinance. At the gambling raid 13 men and bovg, most of them belonging In BrocKton, were found in a field engaged in games with cards or dice, and they were ordered to appear in court at Brockton on Tuesday. Yesterday was the second consecutive Sunday on which the police have paid special attention to the disregard of the ordinance demanding that auto horns be sounded in the square.

Tomorrow, after a conference with the Selectmen, It will be decided whether those whose names were taken yesterday shall be summoned Into court or not during May and June one year ago, while this year 356 positions wers available during these two months. The bureau began Its work in May. 1912, with the permission of the School Committee to assist graduates of five Roxbury schools in finding suitable employment. Last December it began serving 10 elementary schools and una high school. Last May the bureau was allowed to register children in all the schools, the masters of which desired such assistance.

At no time has the bureau been able to fill all the positions it has had available. Its slogan has been, "back to school." so that the organization is not an influence to tak the children out of school too early. Once a boy or young man has secured a position through the bureau the work does not stop there. The bureau has a system by which the employers make reports from time to time on the character of the work done and sug. g-tions as to how it may be improved.
