THE) RE5PLY.
To thls letter the followlng reply has
just came to hand; i :
Your letter of Aprll 2, 1903, descrlbes cor
reotly the process whloh' ia golng on
regardlng syndlcates, but erronoously as
sumes that lt ls comploted,
So far aa I can Judge, there is no rea
Bon to belleve that suoh ls the case.
Every Indlcatlon points to a neoesslty
for further Jlquldatlon, and the posslblllty
of dlaaster ln its prooesB, I cannot qulto
undorstand your remarks wlth regard to
the Pennsylvanla Ballroad shares. What
has the prlge ln 1900, or In any otITer
year to do wlth a quoatlon whloh ls pure-,
ly one of Inablllty of 'the Investlng pub?
llo to absorb eecurltles whlch are thrown
upon It. In unexpected and overwhelm
ln? quantltles? A sponge will only tako
up a glven quantity of water, and before
the Pennsylvanla shares are all dellvered,
there ls every reason to belleve that the
present prlco will seem a very hlgh onfl.
I do not thlnk there was any mlsunder
standtpg on tho part of the publlo gen?
erally regardlng the Aldrlch billi it was
fully appreclated, and l deeply rogret
that nothlng oaj? be done lu the way of
enncting It untll we have gono through
the atraln o'f the next autumn's demand
for money.
I do npt rooal) tho prlcos whlch pre
vnllod durlng tha presldehtlal campalgn
of 1900 wlth any oocuraoy and doubtless
your statomont that some atocks are now
as low as they woro then ls corroct, I do
not, however, belleve that the sltuatlon
lo as favorable now as at that tlme, an<J
I judgo that you do not odequately ap
prcclute tho labor copdltlong and outlook
r*y
as bearlng upon the posslblllty of proflt
able operatlon..- ,
Let me repeat that I ainoerely regret my
lnablllty to take a more cheerful vlew of :
the sltuation. No one reallses more fully
than I that nur own buslness must suffer
from the faot tbat we are unabla to oon-,
sotentlcusly recommend purchases , of
stocks cn margin untll there ls a radlcal
change ln many partloulars; but we feel
compelled to tell the truth as we seo lt,
