The reaction that took place in yesterday's •peculation was the natural sequence of the ad vancing marKet for the last few days. And it ■would worry none, save the very weak marginal holder, if price? were to suffer further declines before poing higher. Bull markets are safe ■when accompanied by frequent reactions. Sell ing yesterday represented realizing and bear pressure, but declines were not Important, and at no time significant of any adverse develop ment in the situation. In the early trading quotations were generally strong under the In fluence of continued commission house buying. On the subsequent decline sales were easily ab sorbed by a good class of buyers, important market interests taking all the stocks specula tive holders had to sell. The bull campaign is not over. Prices are not high, and existing and prospective conditions in the business and financial world have not been discounted by market values. Railroad earnings prove conclusively lhat industrial prosperity has rot run its course. Confidence on the part of capital proves that the opportunities for profita ble investment have not reached their limit. A year ago railroad earnings were enormous, but returns now coming to hand smash all past rec ords. For the month of January roads report ing thow a gain of about 20 per cent over Janu ary, IWW. when the increase was about 10 per cent over January of the preceding year. Heavy traffic movements are confined to no one section of the country. The North. South, East and "West are all sharing in the profits of the prog re«a of prosperity. Railroad earnings reflect the country's business more accurately than any other medium, and in view of the striking rec ords that are now being made it is simply child ish to assert, as some people do, that stock vaiufs are advancing in response to manipula tion alone. Manipulation is< present in all markets, but manipulation must have some basis in order to be successful. Some speculators are taking ad vantage of known conditions to advance prices, "but the underlying cause of the present advance la to be found in a growing public demand, based on easy money and industrial prosperity. The people who bought stocks "cheap" in De ftHttbW will sell them "dear" In February, but that is speculation. The speculators on weak margins, who come in at the top of the bull wave, will lose their money; but that also is speculation. The investors who buy good stocks at current prices, or at the top. will not worry over speculative setbacks. American securities are. as a rule, cheap at ruling figures, and care ful operators are buying on the confident ex pectation of future price improvement. TIIK I'AYS OPERATTONR IN BONDS.

Many holders of stocks acquired In the December smash have taken profits In the last few days, but It Is generally believed that the buying has been as Rood as th« selling. That Is. stocks have pawed from strong hands to Interests eqttally as strong. In yesterday's market this sort of liquidation con tinued. But the buying demand was good, and while reactions in prices were brought abont. de clines were not significant. Bear pressure was «■ cried In the afternoon, but before the close prices again began to advance. The volume of business was large, and the general character of trading was representative of a bull mark.-t. There were few striking changes. .Sugar Refining and Metro politan Street Railway furnishing the biggest fluctuations.

The Mexican Railroad securities are likely to find favor -with Wall Street operators before long, owing to the steady gain In traffic receipts by the Mexican roads and the low market value of the various Issues Mexican National's earnings Increased in the last week In January J47.581 over the same week a year ago. while the Mexican Central's showed a gain for the same time of $155,000. The two roads named have been doing a big business for the last three years, and the fact that American capital Is moving Into Mexican Industries indicates that traffic receipts must continue to add to the actual worth of the securities. If Mexico were on a gold basis the Mexican Central and Mexican National stocks would not be far from dividends. As It Is. the con stant iirprovement In traffic must eventually place the stocks of the two roads named in the Invest ment column. And It Is more than probable that Mexico will before many years adopt the gold standard. The Mexican Central's full report for December shows an Increase In net earnings of 192. 834, making for the fiscal yenr to December 8 a total g«ln In net of $771,661. UNION PACIFIC ISSUES. Union Pacific securities, especially the common stock, were features In yesterday's market. The known earning power of the Union Pacific Company naturally suggests higher prices for Its securities, but In the present Instance speculative buying of the common is apparently based on the expectation of a dividend declaration at to-day'a meeting of the directors. Union Paclflc preferred stock Is now on a 4 per cent basis and yields over 5 per cent at the current level. Tn the company's last fiscal year. In addition to all charges and preft-rred dividends, over 5 per cent was earned on the common stock and current earnings are at a better rate. The policy of the company has be«n to put enormous sums into the property, and In consequence divi dends have not been begun on the common, but It Is likely that this year will mark the entrance of the common stock to the dividend column. NEW-YORK, ONTARIO AND WESTERN. Thomas P. Fowler, president of the New- York. Ontario and Western, said yesterday In talking about Ontario and Western and certain published statements affecting the property. While I believe and have confidence In the future of this company, and do not wish to say any thing whatever which would be likely to depress the value of Ontario and Western shares, or dis turb their owners. I cannot Indorse all that has lately been published. For lsntance. the statement that the company has a cash surplus of $3,730,000 Is not true, nor have all Improvements made since 18MO been paid for out of earnings. Any one who will take the trouble to examine this company's re ports will see at a glance that no such representa tion* have been made. The company's actual share of prosperity and success has been ample without mpklng It necessary to publish statements which tend to mislead the unwary, and which. If uncon tradlcted. might be accepted as having official In dorsement. When questioned as to dividend prospects, Mr. Fowler stated that no special Information would be given, but when the time came the Board would act and the stockholders would then be advised simul taneously. ERIE TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CO. Referring to the recent Increase of $5,000,000 In Ita capital Btock. the Erie Telegraph and Telephone Company announces that the underwriters have taken up thirty thousand shares of the treasury stock at par, paying therefor 88.000.000. which, with the twenty thousand shares already subscribed to at par by the stockholders and payable February 14. will give the Erie company fIft.OOO.OOo In cash with which to carry on their necessary extensions In the year, and entirely extinguish the Moating debt of the company. The total Issued capital of the Erie company on February 14 will be $10,000, 000 full paid. The company disbursed for exten sions In the last year about $4,500.0X)0. making v net gain of 45.700 subscribers and n totnl to-day of 111.000. DIAMOND MATCH COMPANY REPORT.
