Business Slight,
But Is Evident
ipeedier Return to Prosperity
Is Predicted for Second
Quarter oi Year by
Experts.
By HOLLAND.
Considerably mora thtn $60,000,
000,000 represent the face value of
stocks and bonds which are listed
on the New York Stock exchange.
As a whole they reflect our indus
trial, railroad and commercial life.
Therefore if our national wealth be
about $300,000,000,000 then approxi
mately one-fifth of this wealth is to
be found in the negotiable securities
which are listed upon the New York
Stock exchange.
About 20 years ago almost all of
the dealings in this stock market
came from orders placed by those
who live in New York City, or who
do business here. From other parts
of the country not more than 40 per
cent of these orders came. Today,
according to the estimate made by
J. Edward Meeker, who is the econ
omist to the committee on library of
the New York Stock exchange, 80
per cent of the business carried on in
the exchange is due to orders re
ceived from other parts of the conn
try and only 20 per cent from orders
which come from New York.
Export to Gain.
In vltt of thw authoritative figures
It would appear that almost all of the
transactions now carried en In the atoek
ei.'hang reflect a not very encouraging
opinion an to the value of securities which
in lieli- In other parts of the country.
Tht-. however, would he a superficial
ludament. TM transactions in nv p..
nchange are not to De laieen as a
indication or ouainna imm'". ".'
ri rAtirfi.nl soma of the embarrassment
that now prevail, particularly the rail
way alluatlon and thr falling offf In our j
foreign trade. Hut tne uesi opinion
that these are of almost momentary im-j
nArl.n. The rallroed altuatlon Is cer
tainly to be eatiefactorlly handled and j
there la no doubt that after Kurope ! In
a position to buy American commodities ,
our exports of these commodities will
gain and in some Instances heavily. 1
Some encoursging symptoms of tha
feelinr of confidence which unaueatlon- '
ably prevails Is discovered in recent Inci
dents. For instance, when the American
Telephone and Telegraph company ralaed
a few days ago Its dividend rate from
3 per cent to per cent. Ita action
was sometimes spoken of aa very daring,
certainly courageous. Of coura It waa
assumed that this dividend Increase was
voted solely for tha purpose of making tha
roporate' stock end bond attractive as an
Investment. But if there were condition
that wera regarded as permanently de
pressing, this corporation would not hava
ventured to Increaae Its dividend.
' Money Flowing This Way.
Then again, a change has taken place
In the money' currents. For months the
outgo of funds from New York to the
Interior has been steady. Now a change
has been reported. The current has shift
ed. Funds are flowing from the interior
to New York and the Indications are that
they will continue thus to flow. It is fair
to Infer that the. current would not have
been reversed In this way were not condi
tions Improving In the Interior.
Late In the autumn and again in the
winter so confident were f hose who were
In a poslttori to offer reliable judgment
that an improvement would be observed
early In the spring and that the' peak of
depression would be visibly passed oy that
time, that It waa deemd worth while to
report .these views in this, column. That
opinion hvnow Justified, for while the Im
provement is still slight, .yet it is Im
provement. Some of the authorities low
say that this business Improvement will so
continue that It will be much better In
the second quarter of this, year than It
was In the first and that the Improvement
will continue th oughout the year. Home
differeucea of opinion It is true exist as to
the time when the certainty of a return of
normal conditions can be acknowledged.
Some, put the date- early In the summer
or at the beginning ef the autunSn, ,wKlle
others fi New Tear'a dav' Of 1S23 as a
time When there can be celeDration of the
restoration of prosperity. .,
. , . He Confounded. Hie Critics. ..
Some who have had excellent oppor
tunity for making an estimate of , the
amount of wealth which was accumulated
by E. C. Converse who died suddenly . at
Fasadona, Cel., on Monday of th.ls week
believe that he accumulated 350.000,000.
Whatever the inventory of his estate may
revoal there can be no doubt that-It 'Will
show that Mr. Converse waa to be num
bered among the richest of Americans.
' The beginnings of 'his fortune were
made through his association with and de
velopment of the tube manufacturing industry.-,
He was not favored by family
fortune' when he began. The fortune was
increased greatly when the Tube company
was taken over by the United States Steel
corporation as an essential part of that
organisation.
Mr. Converse came to New York after
retiring from . Industrial activity and he
astonished some of- the veteran bankers
here by venturing into the banking field.
One of these bankers said that Converse
oould put on the overalls of a workman
and begin the manufacture of a tub from.
im raw material up to tne limine prod
uct and could do If more' cheaply and
with greater skill than any othVr tube
manufacturer. But that was a very differ
ent thing from banking and especially
banking in New York City. Some of our
banker looked at Mr. Converse askance,
predicting that he was on the way to a
grievous fall, In that way repeating the
experience which some other had met with
wno wnen paat miaaie lire ana after con
spicuous success in Industry undertook to
become New York backers.
"o Dismayed.
Mr. Converse, however, was not ' di
mfd by criticism. He originated the
Liberty bank, whose early liquidation was
predicted, but to the confusion of those
who t made the . prediction. . He was the
originator of the Aster Trust and later
of the Bankers' Trust, and his organiza
tion became In .time among the leading
banking influence of New York. Mr.
Converse bad a keen eye for ability, even
finding It In unaccustomed places. Thus
it waa that he measured the latent abil
ity of Henry P. Davison, when Davison
was a teller In a little bank. He placed
Davison la a post of great responsibility
ana that Judgment waa , vindicated. - So
also he discovered the unsurpassed talent
which Thomas W. Lament possessed end
gave Lamont opportunity, which, having
been accepted, ha made him oonspiouous
among American and International fi
nancier. .-,
The early crltlesrn and Implied censure
that this Industrial leader enould under
take to become a banker In New York
vas ended within a few years so that' it
wa afterward satd that Ttlr. Converse
was as remarkable a constructive force
ta banking as he had formerly been In
Industry. Presumably more than half, per
haps much the greaterpart of hi forune,
was accumulated after he had entered
banking, for all hi venture In that field
were justified and the stocks of the vari
ous Institutions which he created and
which he controlled at last were quoted
at figure which compared well with the
quotation for the stock for ny other
bank in New York. ,

Market, Financial and Industrial News of the Day
Financial
SbcNttaflirrkEiincfle
By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
New York, April 11. With the
movement of prices, either down or
up, apparently adjusted to a steadily
narrowing orbit, the stock market's
irregular recovery today calls for
no particular comment. Wall Street
ascribed it alternately to the resump
tion of negotiations in the British
labor crisis and to , the vague im
pression that the president's mes
sage to congress tomorrow will be
of reassuring character. Probably
both considerations had something
to do with the attitude of the mar
ket; especially since speculative
Wall Street buys and sells not only
on the basis of what it thinks con
cerning the day's developments, but
of what it imagines other people
may think.
The averting of the labor crisis un
doubtedly influences sterling exchange,
which today was quoted fully four cenrs
over Friday's lowest. As for the presi
dent's, message. It aeems to be pretty well
known ulrparlv what will be its DOlitlon
on the questions of foreign relatione and
the public finances; but It is always pos
sible that such other questions as the
railway problems will be brought up in
such a manner as at least to encourage
hope of co-operation by the government
in tne eriort at its solution.
But the financial community's exper
ience does not suggest very strongly that
political events or documents will greatly
affect the drift of things. Wall Street
predicted such results before the election
and before the Inauguration, and tha mar
ket continued In practically the same con
dition as before. Few of today's changes
In price were Important; they occurred In
an Inactive market, and practically all the
advances were scored by Industrial stocks
which have been under recent specula
tive pressure. Money rates continued firm.

Chicago Grab
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire,
Chicago, April 11. New low levels
were made. for May wheat, corn and
rye, with , prices for oats at nearly
the lowest of the year with the close
around the bottom. There were net
losses of 2 3-4 to S 58c on wheat,
with May leading, corn was off 1 3-4c
to 2 l-8c, oats lc, rye 3 S-8c to
4 3-4c, and barley l-2c lower for the
day. Lack of good buying, with
general liquidation in in wheat and
all other grains, was the main factor.
News was-mainly against the mar
kets and the pessimism and discour
agement tha. prevailed on all sides
added to the depression.
Pressure of cash wheat in the youth
west, where farmer r eeUing wheat at
31.20 to 31.40 that they refused over 32.50
and held for 33 earlier In the feason, com
bined with reselling of cash wheat by in
terior millers to terminal markets in the
outhwest offset the effect of the
export buying and carried May down
from 31.84 to 31.38. with the close st
31.28 to 31.28. The big selling was
by J. Rosenbaum Grain company that
operates heavily in the southwest and
was said- to.be for a large St. Louis
operator who has been long, but the trade
attributed it to be against cash purchases
In the southwest. Buying was mainly
against previous sales with a little by ex
porters and- against bids. Export sales at
the seaboard were 400.000 bushels to
Italy. Export bids at the gulf were 1 to
8o lower and cash prices In all markets
were off sharply, Minneapolis being 2 to
6c .lower and premiums at Chicago on
reds were 10c lower.
Heavy Corn Buying.
Heavy buying by several large local
shorts held corn values around 69 to
60c most of the day. In the laat half
hour the break In wheat atarted a general
selling movement and prices dropped to
new low levels, 67 c with the close at
68 to 68c
Lower temperatures over the oat state
caused uneasiness and slight strength In
prices for a time, but were offset by the
break in other -grains and prices for May
dropped from 88 to 36 c arid finished
at 86 to 87c Cash prices dropped c
with 62 cars In. Shipping sales were
80,000 bushels. ...
Rye dropped -to 31.25 and finished
there. Seaboard houses were fair buyers,
while shorts and holders sold July and
September. Visible stocks Increased 14,000
bushel for the week.
Pit Note.
Highest wheat price early 'wa on buy-'
lng based on damage to the winter Wheat
crop by the cold weather, which was below
rreezlng In many parts of the southwest.
Crop experts In Kansas sent report deny
ing any damage and caused selling by
early buyers. Heavy, selling of May
against purchase of July at 21c to 18c
difference wa a feature of the trading.
The decrease of 686,000 bushels in the
visible was the smallest in months and
compared with 606,000 bushels last year,
while the total Is 17.877.000 bushels, com
pared with 44,281,000 bushels last year.
Chicago stocks are down to 951,000 bush
els, a loss of 67.000 for the week. Exports-
wera 2.19.000 bushels, from the
United States ports. Canada ha exported
101,000,000 bushels wheat and flour from
September 10 to February 1.
Chicago corn stocks decreased 869,000
bushels last week and are 13.045,000 bush
els, while the visible made the first re
ductlon In many weeks, with a loss of 180,
000 bushels against 168,000 bushels last
year, being 32,716,000 . bushels against
6,604,000 bushels last year. Receipts were
167 cars and shipping sales 80,000 bushels.
Premiums Decline .
Premium on cash wheat at the gulf
declined le to to today, with a slow de
mand and lnoreaeed offerlnga Italy took
400,000 bushels, but the demand other
wise was slow. Last half April loading
at the gulf was quoted at 24o over, and
May at 11020c over Chicago, May, f . o. b.
