IS PROSPERITY TO STAY?

"To Mni observing minds the alternation
Of general prosperity and depression has
seemed to resemble the movement of a pen
dulum. In the United Btates we have been
enjoying a period of unprecedented pros
perity,, prolonged beyond the term allowed
for It by the theorlea of aome economlata.
Haa now th pendulum begun to move
downward?
Thla queatlon la suggested by the pro
longed and remarkable decline of eecurltles,
aa well aa by signs of decreasing demand
for consumption In the Iron and steel trade,
afT noting an Induatry alwaya In recent yeara
regarded aa a barometer, and now attract
ing more attention than ever before, on ac
count of the prominence of tta securities in
the exchange market.
Our prosperity ha been menaced by the
xcesse of the organisers of capital and
the folly of organlxed labor. But the foun
dation of It were never more firm and
broad. The cropa are abundant, railroad
are congested with traffic, the national cur
rency 1 no longer exposed to the threat of
depreciation and the treasury's gold hold
ing exceed those of any other country In
the world.
Flelltloos Valnes Vanish.
The continuous and prolonged decline of
Marketable securities ha cut away a mush
room growth of fictitious values. If It be
true that artificial pressure wa at first ap
plied by powerful Interests, It la alao true
that after a time no uch pressure wa
needed to accelerate the downward move
ment Owing to the excesae of wild Infla
tion, chiefly In forming Industrial combina
tion and Belling them to a confiding pub
lic the speculative financial structure wa
in a highly vulnerable condition. A the
decline proceeded, one weak spot after an
other wa reached, one Interest after an
other became embarrassed, first-class se
curities were thrown overboard for the
preservation of undigested or Indigestible
one, and the movement became one of gen
eral liquidation. It I a most encouraging
sign that It ha been accompanied by a sur
prisingly short list of failures.
How doe thl affect the condition of
trad and Induatry throughout the coun
try? Doe It foreshadow depression a
a result of underlying conditions, or must
depression be caused by it? Underlying
condition, not including those created by
the speculator and promoter, are sound.
But this fall of securities tends to affect
the general situation, in several way and
for reasons which we ahall point out.
It ha impaired publlo confidence In the
leader of American finance. By embar
rassing aome capitalist and making other
extremely cautious. It tends to check In
vestment In Industrial addition and Im
provement. Cesndeaee Impaired.
- Confidence in aome of our financial cap
tains, who are in these days cloaely re
lated to our captain of Industry, has been
Impaired, to say the least, by recent dis
closure a to the methods of trustmakers
end underwriting syndicate. The reced
ing tide of promotion water and froth' has
laid bar many Jagged re fa of sharp prac
tice and much slime of selfishness, to
gether with the gaping rib of more than
on wreck. At high water all these were
concealed under the smooth surface of
elevated and more or less patriotic finance.
We have In mind the latest revelations a
to the negotiation attending the promotion
of the Shipbuilding company and the sale
of the Bethlehem Steel works to that com
bination. Aa to these transactions there
, ha been aome sensational exaggeration in
the press. Mr. Schwab, provident of the
teel corporation, had bought the Bethle
hem work for a little more than $7,00-0,000.
The property passed under the control of
the Steel Corporation syndicate, an organ
isation that made a profit of more than
S5O.00C.000 upon a paid-in capital of $26,000,
000. It wa not deemed expedient for Preul
' dent Bchwab or the corporation to own
thea work and thus openly to monopo
lise the supply of steel armor plates for
warship. To the budding Shipbuilding
company they were sold . by the syndicate
or Mr. Schwab for $10,000,000 In bonda
which had share-voting power), 110,000,000
of preferred stock and $10,000,000 of com
mon t shares. Thl may be fairly criticised
a a somewhat flagrant example of over
capitalisation, but it should be borne In
mina iiwi ror me stock a market and a
valu were yet to be made. In fact, the
stock has had very little value in cash.
Three-quarters of thla stock wa delivered
to Mr. Schwab and one-quarter to the
manager of the syndicate. J. P. Morgan
dt Co. Of the remaining $25,000,000 of stock
only a small portion had been distributed
to the vendor of the subsidiary properties
! combined in the Shipbuilding trust
Fleering Investors. '
A formal agreement wa at once drawn
up,, and signed by Mr. Schwab, the pur
chasing parties, and a. firm of brokers,
providing that all the remaining stock
not yet distributed should be . withheld
from the market and that no part of it
should be sold or otherwise disposed of
until the $15,000,000 delivered to Mr. Schwab
and the $5,000,000 delivered to Morgan & Co,
hould have been marketed. The brokers
, were bound to sell this stock "a expedl
tlously and advantageously aa possible."
iney were to sen it at t and L5 per
share (preferred and common), or at
mgner price, ir tney could. It appear
that the market would not absorb the
hare. Few, If any, were sold. At some
date not mentioned the $5,000,000 In stock
which had been delivered to J. P. Morgan
A Co. wa sold to Mr. Schwab for $75,000,
and thl aim became a part of the Steel
syndicate's profit. The firm of Morgan
Co. say to the public that it was not a
party to any agreement for selling these
hare.
While the apparently large gain of those
Who old the Bethlehem work existed
merely on paper and have never been ma
terialised, the methods revealed by thla
lifting of the curtain, together with the
amusing record of the attempt of the Ship
building company' promotion agent to
procure the underwriting of bonda in Pari
by person on the ragged edge of financial
circle, excite the disapproval and hostility
of the average Investor The publication
of such a chapter of finance may compel
the adoption of more acceptable methods of
promotion.
Folly f Labor Leader.
A w have said, the decline of securities
ha embarraased a considerable number of
capitalist of the middle class and mad
other cautious. Thus the demand for con
sumption must be affected in some meas
ure. At the base of the Iron and steel in
dustry the output ha probably been exces
sive; It la now to be reduoed by about one
fifth. But the consumption of Iron and
steel ha been unnaturally cut down by the
foil of the labor union in tha hullrilnv
trade. They have chosen for helr unwise
and hostile action the very time when, in
their own Interest and in the Interest of an
wwklngmeo. they ought to sustain the con
sumptive demand for steel, because of the
aaoUnestaJ a wU aa the direct effect et
declining demand upon that public confi
dence that sustains wsge schedule and
keep labor employed. In accounting for
the restriction of Iron and teel output w
must not overlook the long suspension of
work ipon $90.000,0no worth of large build
ing In New Tork, the recent withdrawal of
tM.ooo.OOO from Intended Investment In other
similar buildings there, and the partial
paralysis of building work In other cities
where the unions have ahown an equal lack
of good common sense. The entire fabric
of ' Industry and credit 1 sensitive to
changes In the condition of the Industry
that produce Iron and teel. If the or
ganiser of capital, by their excesses, have
threatened and endangered the life of the
goose that lays golden eggs, organlxed labor
may fairly be accused of the same folly.
But we can find In fundamental conditions
no warrant for a belief that the pendulum
ha started, or I about to start, on Its
downward sweep. The "boom" period of
excessive speculation and promotion I
ended. A period .of Industrial conservatism
Is probably at hand. There may be some
reduction of output and prices. Further In
crease of wage cannot reasonably be ex
pected. But for a prediction of approach-
ng depression there Is no support In condi
tion that exist or can be foreseen. New

WHEAT CLOSES A FRACTION HIGHER
Cora aad Oat Slightly Lower as the
Result of Friday' Hevy
Selling Provision
Decline.
CHICAGO, Oct. 17. The high premium
which prevailed In all markets for cash
wheat was again the predominating In
fluence today, and resulted In a strong
close. December being K,ic higher. De
cember corn closed He lower. Oats fell off
Ho, with January provisions HPfcc lower.
General anxiety on the part of shorts to
cover their lines pending possible further
advances over Sunday, caused renewed
strength In wheat. The opening was rather
quiet and easy, due to the indifferent
cables, Liverpool being barely steady. De
cember was 80SifOSc, and with some proiu
taklng by local longs prices declined a trifle,
December slumping off to fn)c. A demand
from local shorts then gave a fair impetus
and the market rallied. Closing prices
were at about the best of the day, Decem
ber being up itlc at 8o7c, after touching
81c. Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal to 414.000 bushels. Primary receipts
were 1.178.0HO bushels, against l,f?10,700 a
year ago. Minneapolis anil Duluth reported
receipts of 449 car, which with local re
ceipts of loo cars, none of contract grade,
made total receipts for the three points of
549 cars, against 696 last week and 867 a
year ago.
Corn still felt the effects of yesterday's
heavy selling and was weak, notwithstand
ing liberal covering by some leading shorts.
Cables and Increased receipts helped to
create a weak undertone. Later, on buy
ing by commission houses, the market de
veloped a stronger tendency, , December
being down c after selling between 44Hc
and 4tjfq44',4ie. Local receipts were 385 cars,
with 86 of contract grade.
Oats labored under the same difficulties as
corn, and the market was dull and drag-
flng. After ranging between 864c and 30HO
leoember closed Nc lower at 36lo. Local
receipts were 2nl cars.
Provisions ruled weak on a larger run of
hogs at the yards than had been antici
pated, with a decline of from loc to $oc In
firlcee. Packers appeared desirous of sell
ng, but the demand was light, shorts being
the principal' buyers. Closing prices were
weak, with the January products each
showing a loss of 12c at Jll.tW, $i.60 and
$8 26, respectively.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
86 cars; corn, 440 cars; oats, 805 cars; hogs,
30,0u0 head.

CATTLE Recelntn of cnttl this null
have been rather moderate, as there Is a
decrease both aa compared with last week
and with the corresponding week of last
year amounting to about 6,000 head. The
demand has been In fair shape, so that the
general mnrket has been quite satisfactory
to me selling inteiests.
There have been uulte a few cornfed
steers Included In the receipts and, while
the best grades of handy weights have not
rhown a great deal of change, the heavy
cattle . are a little lower, the decline
amounting to about 101115c in the malorttv
of cases. The market, though, has been
very uneven all the week, so that some
sales have looked much better than others.
The best grades of cornfeds sell from $5.(0
to $5.4(1, fair to good go from $4.76 to $4.90
and common Muff from $4.60 down.
The supply of cows has been rather light
all the week and under the Influence of a
good local demand the market has Improved
a little, tne aavance tor tne weea amount
ing to- about Incise. Cornfeds have been
very scarce and could be quoted from $3.60
to $4.26. The bulk of the offerings have
come from the western ranges and the good
to choice grades sell from $3.00 to $3.60. fair
to good from $2.40 to $2.90 and canners and
cutters from $1 76 to $2.35.
Bulls have shown very little change a'l
the week and grassers sell mostly from
$2.00 to $2.60 and cornfeds. thouah scarce,
could be quoted from $2.50 to $4 00 for very
choice. Veal calves are also steady, good
grades bringing $6.00.
The demand for stockers and feeders from
the country has not been as brisk this week
as last and consequently prices have been
going steadily downward. The best grades
of heavy, dehorned feeder and choice year
lings have not shown mucn change, Dut all
others are safely 10ffl5o lower than they
were a week ago. Practically all of the
stock cattle coming forward are from the
western ranges and the rood to choice
grades sell from $3.60 to $3.90, fair to good
from $3 00 to $3.40 and common stuff from
$3 00 down.
There have been quite a tew western
grass beef steers on sale this week, but the
demand has been sufficient to hold pries
fully stesdy. and In fact the better grades
are. If anything, a little stronger. Com
mon stuff, though. Is barely steady. The
top price of the week Is $4.30. Good to
choice grades of steers could be qucf-d
from $3.80 to 4.30. fair to a-ood W.35 to 3.K0
and the less desirable grades sell from $3.15
down. Range cows nnd stockers snd feed
ers have been selling as noted above. Rep

HOGS There was lust a fair run of hogs
today, but tne downward course of prices
continued at all points. The market here
opened PXhl&c lower than yesterday's aver
age, and the buik of the early aril vale sold
that way. The same as has been tne case
all the week, though, the trains were slow
In arriving and packers cloned the maiket
lower than the opening. 8 let-men. In fact,
had a hard time to get a buyer to even look
at the Ute arrivals, and as a result the day
was wrll advanced be o anjtn.ng UKe a
clearance was made. The heavy hogs sold
largely from $6 L to $6 20, meuium w.ignts
went from $6.20 to $0.26 and choice lights
sold from $6.2o to $6.40.
. The market mis wees, nu neen in very
unsatisfactory condition to the selling In
terests. The first four days of the week
nrlces moved steadily unard. but at the
same time packers closed the market lower
every aay, ana as a rum ma ni'ga nq io
be carried over. The last two days prices
have broke in bad shape so that the ad
vance of the first part of the week has
been nearly all loat. Representative sales:

On doesn't go to see "Resurrection" with
any notion of being entertained; at least,
if one does, the notion is dispelled very
shortly after the curtain goes up oil th
first act. Familiarity with the Tolstoy
novel doesn't sufficiently prepnre the audi
tor for the terrible realism, the exact
counterpart of living misery, dcgrndntlo,
and squalor presented on the stage. Tol
stoy drew with master strokes the plctur
Of sin In Its most repulsive and iforblddlng
colors. He doesn't exaggerate, nor doc
he spore the truth. In fact. It is the truth
h seeks to set forth, and he has don
It fearleewly and faithfully. For It Is t.o
foVicy picture he has conjured up to gild
a romance. It is a chapter from life, not
ths life of an Individual probably, but a
composite picture of the live of many,
and on whose fidelity Is admitted by the
worldly-wise.. The dramatists have faith
fully set forth the Tolstoy idea. Th cen
tral thought of the novelist has been pre- .
served Intact in the drama, romethlng ail
but novel In the matter of book play.
But all of this Is vain if not driven homo
with convincing fonce. and this force Is
supplied by th arfvst who enacted the
role of Katusha Masiova at the Boyd Sat
nrday. A part without attraction other
than the scop it gives for the manifesta
tion of ability as an actress. Miss Walsh
endow the character with a reality that
Is all but Intolerable. The change from
her appearance In the prologue, a bright,
happy girl. In whose vein trie full-blooded
current of life bounds unfettered, carried
way by her ecstacy of love, to her ap
pearance In the second act a sodden crea
tur of the streets, despondent, desperate,
hopeless In her degradation and bent only
on drowning In the lowest of dissipation'
dregs whet Is left of her snlmal existence,
is a positive shock. And Miss Walsh ren
der it still more shocking by her painful
fidelity to detail an essential attribute to
realism, tho basis and life of the whole
piece. It Is a relief when the curtain falls
on this act. rendered the more grateful by
the thought that the soul ha been kindled
anew. In the third and fourth acts tha
character becomes essentially Ideal, Illus
trating the possibilities rather thnn the
actualities, and the theme takes on a more
hopeful turn. It Is here that Mlsn Walsh
gives the most pleasing exhibition of her
ability, and st the end of the fourth not,
when she resolutely sets her face against
th desires of her heart, and bravely looks
forward to a new life, she reaches a climax,
so quiet so unobtrusive, so subdued, after
the revolting scenes that have "passed be
fore, that It almost seems that a lost one
has In reality been reclaimed, and that tho
whole . thing has been actual and not
mimicry.
Miss Walsh's support Is good enough to
Illustrate the meaning of the play, without
reaching the limit of Its possibilities. Mr.
Von Mltzel seems 111 at ease in the role
of Dmitri, as though he didn't really llko
to do the part, although It Is one offering
splendid opportunities to sn actor... Tho..
stage settings are of a part with the text,
and add much to the realistic effects
achieved through the efforts of the great
artist. Two very large audiences watched
the play Saturday. It would harcly bo
true to say that they were liberal In their
applatiso, but the silence ' was that of
thought and not of Indifference, and that
is the highest tribute that can be paid the
piece.
