CHHISTRIA- AXD COMMERCIAL IM
UKATI OX.
The American has evolved during the
last century a most distinctive character
istic. It Is popularly denominated in
vention. More correctly It is Inventive,
Industrial, and commercial imagination.
It is the cultivation and the perfecting
of the imagination which has distinguish
ed the celebrated peoples of tho past.
The Egyptian imagination constructed
vast monuments, the Greek imagination
ran riot in the realm of architecture and
sculpture, the Roman followed his im
agination In world-conquering expedi
tions, the Imagination of the Arab en
compassed the stars and laid the foun
dation of astronomy; the imagination of
the Jew dwelt on the destiny of man and
gave to the world the Bible. For a
time the imagination of the world was
occupied with religion, with philosophy,
•with poetry and art. The genius of the
country, which is Its Imagination,' was
absorbed with diplomacy, the fine arts
and war. These were thought to be the
only avenues open for the exercise of
the imagination. The result was that
the world stood still. There was con
structive genius, but It was diverted fnm
practical pursuits.
For the last half century the United
States has developed no literature, little
poetry and less religion. The Imagina
tive forces of the people have been do
voted to industrial and commercial en
terprises. Every great accomplishment
must first exist ln the Imagination. The
inventor has the Intangible machine in his
mind and works from that pattern. The
civil engineer sees the great spans of his
cantilever bridge, before a beam or a
brace is made; he sees the course of the
railroad over the mountains before a tie
is laid. The great railroad promoter sees
his transportation system In operation
and has the figures of Its future busi
ness before him before he seeks to enlist
capital.
The organizer of a trust has the
features of its workings before him even
to the utmost detail, before the proposi
tion is laid befor_ the parties in interest.
The combination of the great transporta
tion lines, the organization of the steel
and Iron trust and the securing of great
steamship lines, with a view to con
trolling the iron and steel markets of
the world, was a feat of the imagina
tion that dwarfs those of Dante or Mil
ton, of Dickens or Balzac. It is an in
dustrial and commercial epic that will
stand as the greatest Intellectual achieve
ment of the age. And yet it Is a product
of the Imaginations of two men. The
imagination that produced the first At
lantic cable was infinitely greater than
that which produced "Childe Harold."
The literary lights of the past were
great in their day and generation, so
were the warriors and statesmen, but
they were mtellctual pygmies compared
with the inventive, industrial and com
mercial geniuses of the twentieth' cen
tury. Science had' its Newtons, its Sir
Humphrey Davys, its Harvey.s, its Dar
wins, but today it has its Edisons, Its
Teslas. its Mergenthalers and its
Puplns. The weak- and degenerate
imaginations dawdle with the worn out
theme of philosophy, theology, fiction
and poetry, but the giants grasp the
mighty themes of construction. They
lay tribute upon nature and compel her
to give up her secrets. \They project the
present into the future and plan for
that which lies beyond tomorrow's sun.
The difference between the America
of today amd the Europe and Asia of the
yesterday is that the imagination of the
one deals with facts, the Imagination of
the others dealt with Intangible and
Chimerical theories. The product of the
latter was theology, metaphysics, litera
ture and poetry; the product of the
former is twentieth century civilization.
KM MM; OUR RUSSIAN TRADE.
The treasury department decision in tho
Russian sugar case has already, killed
an eighteen-mllllon-dollar trade with
Russia. The ruling against Russian su
gar, upon grounds which all except the
sugar trust consider gravely doubtful,
has resulted in retaliation on the part
of the Russian government, as pre
dicted and threatened. Russian au
thorities are unanimous that the treasury
decision is wrong in both its facts and
its judgment and constitutes an unfriend
ly commercial act on the part of the
United States toward Russia. The result
is, that the embargo which the adminis
tration has put upon imports of Russian
sugar is returned with interest against
American exports of all kinds to Russia,
and our trade with that country is prac
tically killed.
la view of the growing commercial re
lations which great enterprise has teen-
laboring to build up between the two
countries via tho Pacific and Vladivo
stock, the action of the admin strati
appears suicidal. In its short-sightedness.
The blow will be specially heavy against
the Northwest because of the new traffic
with Siberian Russia ; via Pu_et sound
and the North Pacific. In order to ce
ment the trade and traffic relations be
tween Russia and the United Stales our
merchants, manufacturers, shipping com
panies, and railway magnates have been
-fiohig active missionary work which
pointed to speedy and large success. The
Russian government was disposed to do
all In its power to facilitate trade and
traffic relations with-this country via the
Siberian railway and Pacific steamship
lines, and make this country Its powerful
commercial friend and ally. All this is
swept away by a potty administrative act
of hostility in the interest of the sugar
trust alone. 7 " '."'•'"
Are the tariff interests of the sugar
greater than the trade and traffic inter
ests of the nation? Is the sugar trust
not doing well enough In earning S to 12
per cent dividends,without the employ
ment of the government's executive arm
to strengthen, the sugar monopoly and
jeopardize the country's commerce?
THE MAIS QUESTION.
The crowning issue in the constitutional
cases before the supreme court, after all
Is said, Is this: Is congress and the gen
eral government bound by the constitu
tion? Is It bound by the fundamental
principles of the republic? Or, is it an
absolute power armed with despotic func
tions, deriving Its authority from its own
will and interest, without regard to the
restraints and guarantees which the peo
ple of the republic have set up in de
fense of the common liberty in that great
organic act? This Is the all important
Issue which juts through all of the cases
before the court. Upon that Issue hangs
the question whether out government Is
a constitutional republic, or an Imperial
oligarchy.
Judge Lochren, of the United States dis
trict court, in St Paul, stated the ques
tion plainly when he said, only a year
ago: "If the constitution does not ex
tend to Porto Rico and our other new
acquisitions of territory, but congress has
the untrammeled absolute power to estab
lish subject governments, or make laws
for such territories, It has the power to
establish dependent monarchies and sa
trapies, state religions and even sla
very."
Daniel Webster, In his reply to Hayne.
stated the time-honored Interpretation of
a century of constitutional liberty when
he said: "The national government pos
sesses those powers which it can , be
shown the people conferred upon it, and
no more. The people erected this gov
ernment. They gave it a constitution.
and in that constitution they have enu
merated" the powers which they bestow
on It. It ls a government of strictly lim
ited powers; of enumerated, specified, and
particularized powers; and whatever is
.not granted is withheld."
The United States supreme court, in
the Miliken case, 4 Wallace, denied the
right of the government to exercise pow
ers outside of the constitution, when it
declared: "This constitution of ours op
erates in war as well as In peace. in all
places as well as under all circumstances.
It is a law for the rulers as wiell as for
the people; each : and every one within
our political jurisdiction is bound by
it." M-: -.-•.*>• ,-.;■, -
The supreme court, in 149 U. S. 735, ln
the language of Justice Brewer reiterates
the supremacy of the constitution over
the government In these words: "'The
constitution has potency everywhere
within the limits of our territory, and
the powers which the national govern
ment may exercise are those and only
those given it by that instrument."
For one hundred years the supreme
court of the United States has stood for
the doctrine that the constitution is the
supreme law of the landsupreme over
the rulers as over the ruled, supreme
alike over the government and the gov
erned. The question which now confronts
us is this — the will of congress or of
the president supreme as against the con
stitution? Do their powers exceed those
enumerated in the constitution? Do
their powers extend beyond the limits
of the constitution? May they set up a
government outside of the constitution?
Justice Clifford, in 101 U. S. 133, held:
"Our constitution in its operation is co
extensive with our political jurisdiction."
And that has always up to the year 1901
been considered elemental and funda
mental in the court annals of this re
public. But today the government at
Washington assumes to go where It de
nies that the constitution has gone or
can go. The administration claims the
power to cross oc-*ans in the spread of
its political jurisdiction and denies that
the constitution can' follow or can re
strain government exercise of power.
How far we have gone and are going Is
only discernible by looking back to the
landmarks which dot our route. look
ing back a half century we hear Webster
declare* in a great senate debate which
would appear to apply as well to our
situation today as to any precedent that
could be produced: "An arbitrary govern
ment may have territorial governments
in distant possessions, because an arbi-
trary government may rule Its distant
territories by different, laws and differ
ent systems. Russia may govern . the
Ukraine and the Caucasus and Kam
chatka by different codes or ukases. We
can do no such thing. They must be of
us, part of us, or else ostrrnged. I thlnjt
I see, then, In progress what is to dis
figure and deform the constitution."
Looking backward three-fourths of a
century we hear Chancellor Kent thus
speak of the possibility of the republic
attempting to hold colonies without con- ;
stitutional restraint: "Such a state of ab
solute sovereignty on the one hand and
of absolute dependence on the other ls
not congenial with the free and inde
pendent spirit of our institutions."
From these landmarks of constitu
tional liberty, we turn to the new doc
trine of supreme sovereignty at Wash
ington and absolute dependence In r Por
to Rico and Luzon, as expressed by the
secretary of war In his official ; report:
"Am between the people of the ceded
Islands and the United States, the for
mer «re SUBJECT TO THE COMPLETE
THE ST. PAUL GI_OB_S, MONDAY, JUNK 17, 1901.
SOVEREIGNTY ;, s OF THE LATTER
CONTROLLED BY 7 NO LEGAL LIM
ITATIONS except those which ar_- found
in the treaty, of cession."
In other words, the constitution Is
powerless to control the government In
Its newly claimed sovereignty. The gov
ernment has powers of its own not de
rived from the constitution, not bound
by the constitution, and outside of and
beyond the operations of the constitu
tion. That Is the fundamental issue
which overshadows all others in the
constitutional crisis which we have now
reached. It is a question which reaches
to this limit: Have we a republic
founded on the constitution, or an oli
garchy which sets up its own despotic
will as supreme over the constitution
and beyond constitutional restraint?

The brilliant cartoonist of the Pioneer

have shown the Pioneer Press "making
frantic efforts to remove the spike from
that gun. This same cartoon made the
startling announcement that the "third
term," is a Democratic doctrine. We had
been under the impression that such talk
was heard only In the Republican fort,
and from the muzzles of Its most prom
inent guns. Whence the cause of this
mixed metaphor?
The czar. Emperor William, King Ed
ward and Queen Wilhelmina are not to
have an exclusive monopoly of the cen
ter of the royal stage. Another actor —
a star of the first magnitude, has ap
peared, in the person of the undersized
king of Italy, Victor Emanuel. Victor
has surprised the world and pleased his
people by displaying a strength of char
acter wholly at variance with pre-coro
nation expectations. Like the czar and
the kaiser, he evidently intends to rule,
not simply to reign. He seems to be a
man of brains with the backbone of a
leader of men. He is broad enough to
see the good in the royalist or So
cialistic party and bold enough to an
nounce what he sees. The fact that the
Socialist party opposes the monarchy does
not blind this statesman-king to Its
good features. Such liberality on the part
of the sovereign of Italy will do much
to unite the nation as it never has been
united before.
AT THE THEATERS.
"iAHttery of _ore at tlie Metrojpol-
itan.
A funny farce cleverely presented by
the Criterion Stock company amused a
large and willing-to-be-amused* audience
last night at the Metropolitan theater.
"The Lottery of Love" is the class of
play that appeals to a summer audience.
It is entertaining, breezy and brief. About
the "mother-in-law motif" some clever
Frenchman has built a number of very
funny situations. August! Daly's adap
tation brought In South Dakota, which,
of course, spells divorce'for Americans,
and the new motif aids the original one
in the building of a snappy farce. Robert
Drouet, Kate Jackson and Harry Jackson
divided honors last night. Mr. Drouet.
as the twice married man 'haunted by the
substantial ghost of a dead past {In the
shape of a mother-in-law, played the
part with a keen appreciation of the
-humor of it. .His comedy work was spon
taneous and always natural. Harry Jack
son's Benjamin Buttercorn, the elderly
_ person with a single purpose and an only
daughter, was an inimitable character
sketch. Mr. Jackson's make-up was as
convincing as his acting. He is not a
demonstrative actor. The effectiveness
of his work lies in its reserve rather than
Its . abanelon. Kate Jackson played "the
■part of the mother-in-law, the type found
chiefly in story books and comic papers.
in a manner that furnished most of the
fun of the play. An, energetic person,
who in early youth preached woman's
wrongs and worked woman's rights,
; and who, -later in -fie,, prides herself on
managing so-nnin-laws, is . Mrs. ■ Zenobia:
Sherramy. Her idiosyncrasies were truth

Buckley entered admirably into the
■spirit, of her ro^e arid was the charm
ingly irresponsible and rather weak
young person' that the creator of the
part intended*- she should .be. Catherine
Countiss was clever as Josephine, but
the part hardly afforded opportunity for
the display Qf t Miss Countiss' very evi
dent histrionic ability. Marie Dore was
a charming maid. Her impersonation of
Anna Held In the second act was as
clever as he£ song was funny. Victor
De Silke was . admirable as .Capt/Sam
Merrimac. Harry Burkhardt made the
most of the "small' part of Tom Danger
ous. The remainder of the cast was ade
quate. The chic little ending to the
farce procured " for the company a final
curtain call, a rather unusual testimonial
of appreciation from a St. Paul audi
ence. ■'■-*;;-■'-}» j. ...";.

-CARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.
R. W. Taylor in Harper's Weekly.
The most recent statistics of divorces
granted show that the number is growing
more rapidly than our population. It is
true that a large majority of the divorces
are granted in the state in which the mar
riage took place; but without resort to
statistics, everybody knows that thou
sands of divorces are annually granted
.causes which are inadequate if the
marriage relation is as solemn a thing as
we have become accustomed to think it;
and, worse than all, the causes so vary
In the different states that the effect of.
divorces granted ln one state is so diverse
in the several commonwealths of the
Union as to make occurrences like those
just described frequent and shameful.
What is the remedy? The answer is ob
vious. Uniformity of law respecting, first,
what shall constitute marriage, and, sec
ond, how the, marriage relation may be
dissolved.
Two methods of, reaching this salutary
result have been proposed and urged.
First, by securing uniformity of legisla
tion in the several states. Second, by
so amending t the federal constitution as
to repose in congress the. power to enact
uniform laws' respecting marriage and di
vorce. •!;■:::
The first of these methods has been
diligently pursued for many years by the
National Divorce Reform league, with
some useful results, especially In the way
of organizing state commissions, by pro
ceeding in an 'Orderly way •to educate
and arouse public opinion, and by pro
posing schemes jof reform-to the state
legislatures. Great good has undoubtedly
been done by this organization, and its
work ought to be prosecuted until actual
uniformity is accomplished, either by
state laws or by j the delegation to con
gress of power to legislate on the sub
ject. '"" , '' ' * .' '- '
Every step toward uniformity is pro
gress in the right direction; yet, when
one considers the diversity of opinion in
the ' widely separated areas of our coun
try, the absolute impossibility of securing
uniformity of declaration of the law by
the courts of the states, and that when
uniformity jis once obtained, if ever it
is,. there must be 7am eternal battle to
maintain it, one conceives faintly the
difficulties which I line the path toward
state uniformity. "' *.?■-'-" *
On the other hand, if the power Is
lodged in congress to deal with the sub
ject, the question of uniformity is an
swered once for all; and,' in my opinion,
uniformity and universality are .more im
portant than a limitation of causes, neces
sary though that be.
Those who advocate uniformity through
the states have made a tactical mistake
in my opinion, in taking no part in the
advocacy of a constitutional amendment
giving congress suitable power. They
have erred In supposing that the battle
has been fought for the amendment and
lost. The fact ls that It has hardly com
menced. They have failed al3o to see,
If there is a real opposition in certain
states to the enlargement of federal pow
er, that opposition will be more likely
to aid In state uniformity if there is a
threat of national uniformity. But I do
not desire to, be placed in an attitude
of opposition .to the Divorce Reform
league. My -efforts will be put forth to
advance the cause they advocate. I
merely fail to-'see why the two methods
should not be simultaneously pursued by
all friends of the reform.
MONOTONY OP HOTEL COOKING.
American Journal of Medicine.
There is country in which the menus
of hotels, dining I cars, and restaurants,
contain so many items, and yet there is
-none in whip**. there is such a monot
onous and tiresome sameness. From
Maine to California, from Florida "to
Wisconsin, the • same choice of foods is
offered, all cooked and served in the
same way. But a few years ago one
found some variety in the "spice of life"
and of cookery, in the old-fashioned dish
cs of New England, the baked beans and
brown bread,- the hulled corn, the baked
Indian pudding, etc., but now these
things are not to be had anywhere-, or
if the names greet one. the things them
selves are disappointing travesties of the
olden toothsome delights. It is the same
with the indigenous dishes of all other
parts of the country. The refrigerator
car makes possible the dull uniformity or
the menu, and fashion stupidly demands
that the palatable things of one part ot
the country shall be perhaps ignored
where they are fresh, and transported
1,00') or 2,000 miles where they ace out
of season: and stale. It • has been said
that whether one smoke- good or bad to
bacco, or indeed whether one's cigar be
lit or not, Is a'matter" of indifference to
the smoker "sitting, in darkness.. To the
blind man It must be "all one" wherever
he dines. Is It useless to appeal to chefs,
cooks and caterers for the native dishes
of the country, cooked as the natives
cook them? Individualism is as good for
health In the culinary as in the soclo
loglc art. . : ."; ' v 777 7v777'7

REPORT o_* FORESTRY BUREAU
REVEALS GREAT LUMBER
RESOURCES
BIG FORESTS STILL UNOPENED
Chief Difficulties Are Lack of Roads
and Driveways and Sufficient
Labor to Operate
Camps.
Correspondence of tho Associated Press.
MANILA, May The chief of the for
estry, bureau of the Philippines. Capt.
Ahea-rn, has just issued a circular which
Is applicable to those who are consid
ering business ventures other than lum
bering in the archipelago. The United
State attorey general, It should be borne
in mind, has construed that the inhibi
tions in the amendments to the Spooner
act do not apply to timber cutting en
government lands. In brief, the circular
is as follows: r-
At present there are no laws under
which timber lands can be purchased.
There Is some timber land held by
privata parties, but it is very limited
in extent, and, as a rule. Is not on the
market.
The ciisitoin for lumbermen in these isl
ands is to apply for a license to cut
timber on state land in a certain prov
ince. This license, granted free of charge,
is for a term of one year, ami can be
renewed. As a rule, applicants can ob
tain as large _ tract as they can con
veniently exploit. There are many large
forest districts where no licenses hav_
been applied for and which could be pror
itably handled if labor could be ob
tained. . "---.-
The felled timber is measured and ap
praised as it leaves the forest by a for
estry olncial. The valuation of state
timber is made by the cubic foot. The
timber is divided into six groups and
valued as follows:
Superior Fourteen cents (Mexi
can) cubic foot.
First Group— cents (Mexican) per
cubic foot. -_'7*.-r. .„_
Second Group—Eight cents (Mexican)
cubic foot.
Third Group— cents (Mexican.) per
cubic foot.
Fourth Group—Two cents (Mexican)
cubic foot.
Fifth Group—One cent (Mexican) per
cubic foot.
It would be wise to look over the
ground very carofully before investing in
the timber of these islands. .There is a
vast market here in the Orient which
will readily take every log brought to
tide water. Much valuable timber is
here and a high price is raid for tho
same in this market. The great and al
most insuperable obstacle is the lack of
labor. And when labor is secured much
tact is required - to retain it for any
length of time.
Much of the valuable timber Is Inac
cessible at present, due to the lack of
roads. In time roads will be constructed
and river driveways constructed. Port
able tracks and narrow gauge railways
will be found feasible in many places.
The great majority of native timber will
not float. Bamboo rafts are used exten
sively. Bamboo finds a ready sale in all
the ma.Tk.-e__ There aire 665 native tree
species now known, including eleven spe
cif s of oaks, ebony, some teaik, mahog
any, Philippine mahogany, Philippine co
der and other woods suitable for ve
neering and finest cabinet work. There
are more than fifty species of valuable
gum trees, from which arc extracted
rubber, gutta percha and other gums.
Next to labor, transportation is diffi
cult to secure, as the supply of steamers
and launches Is not equal to the de
mand.
SEVENTEEN JUDGES CHOSEN.
Appointments Made to Courts of

CLOTH SELLING FAIRLY 'WELL.
Increase Noted in l'arcliu«e.<i From
India and China..
MANCHESTER, June 16.—There has
been a steady and fair demand for cloth
during the past week. The turn over,
however, was unsatisfactory and ad
vances were frequently required. It Is
difficult to obtain the aggregate of trans
actions, but it was unimportant. Bom
bay was the most active of the India
markets and there was considerable in
quiry from Calcutta. There was a slight
advance in the transactions reported
from China, chiefly among the better
grades of shirtings. The Levant is pick
ing up many lots of finishing cloths, and
there were moderate and miscellaneous
purchases from South America. Yarn
spinners were firmer, after having ob
tained some business on the advance in
cotton. Buyers are cautious, confining
their. purchases to their immediate
needs.

LONDON STOCK MARKET GRAD
UALLY RECOYERIXG FROM EF
FECTS OF RECEXT CRISIS
TRANSVAAL EESULTS AWAITED
Many Large Operators Pressed for
Money as Result of the De
pression in Better
Stocks.
LONDON, June 16.--The London stock
exchange was very slightly aroused the
past week from its continued lethargy.
The air is now cleared from the effects
of the recent American crisis, but busi
ness still remains painfully dull. Pro
fessional traders are merely following
New York at a safe distance and are
continually alert for pitfalls. The hesi
tancy of the last week is also larg:ly
traceable to a desire for definite assur
ance of the tangible developments ln tho
South African war. The depression ac
companying the decline in gilt-edged se
curities has seriously hampered the re
sources of many of the strong members
of the stock exchange, while It is whis
pered that some banks are even S3 in
volved as a result of the assistance ren
dered large operators that they are now
unable to press for a settlement lest they
1 precipitate a crisis involving large Inter
ests. The fact that the expected reduc
tion in the bank rates was not effected
and the constant ' ease of money has
' caused, a weakened flicker of activity, in
! which home rails participated with
| Americans on a healthier traffic showing.
I It Is anticipated, however, that the im-
I pending call for the payment of the sub
| scriptions to consols will make easy
j money very acceptable. It is feared in
I some quarters that American industrial
■ activity may draw gold from London. It
! is pointed out by the opirmlsts, however,
| that New York has already invested so
heavily In foreign securities beyond its
powers immediately to pay that exchange
j is likely to remain slightly in favor of
j Kurope, and this in spite of the heavy
| shipments, the presaged continental
| crop damage and large American har
• vests.
. The mining market is dominated by the
same South African spectre which ham
pers stock transactions. The peace ru
mors current during the early part of
the week have unfortunately not been
confirmed, and the situation was not
made brighter by a published announce
ment from the Reuter Telegram company
this week that the censor had Impounded
a message of Inquiry as to the situation
addressed to Reuters correspondent in
South Africa.
BER-IN MARKET HAD BAD WEEK
Failure of Large Interests Had De-
pressing Effect.
BERLIN, June 16.—The boerse has had
another black week. The Frankfurter
Zedturag says: "Seldom have fear, dis
trust and anxiety been as punced as
during these diays." Business is at a
standstill. Tho orders for sales find few
takers and then at a heavy loss from
the quotations. Only on Friday amid Sat
urday' did the market become somewhat
firmer, with prices slightly rising In a
score of the better values. The week
began with the crash of the Dresden
Credit Ansalt and the Kummy Electric
compainiy, which owes 9.000.000 marks to
the Dresden Credit Ansalt alone. Rumors
are hi circulation to the effect that a
number of other electric concerns and
the banks supporting them in Dresden,
Berlin and Dantzic are in serious difficul
ties. The past week was notable for ru
mors, they found sustenance from the
highly unfavorable reports which came
in from every kind of business, especially
from the Rhine, WestphaUan Industrials
and Iron'and- machine firms and mining
concerns. It was generally pointed out
that many German electric works were
neither soundly founded nor financiered,
and it is consequently feared that other
corncerns will encounter financial difficul
ties. The Dresden Society of Electric
Plants and Railways seems heavily in
volved. Throughout the week the bears
attacked all along the line, bringing
about greatly reduced quotations even
for such strong securities as Rhombacher
Minings. Following this came tne blue
book on the Transvaal railway, which
caused a sanation in Berlin, as It 'had.
been firmly believed that the British gov
ernment would favor JJhe German share
holders of the road. The government cir
cles still express this belief, but the
Ethanes which were formerly quoted- here
at 226 have dropped to 155, and have
mot recovered) their -loss. Altogether the
boerse situation during the past week Is
only one that has been equaled during
the worst time, and it is generally felt
tihiare will be no marked Improvement
for a long time to came. Itse bears par
ticularly selected bank shares for their
attacks, and the securities of every bank
lost a number of points. In some, cases
these losses amounted to 20 and even
more.
Provincial bank shares became unsal
able, although a great number were
thrown upon the market. Inland govern
ment loans ware slow but firm. Inland
railways are doing nothing. The only
gleam of light in the- .week's situation
was Che agreement of the boerse com
mittee favoring the abolition of the worst
features of the present boerse law, but
it is uncertain whether the reichstag will
adopt the report. It is hoped that the
Reichsbank, beginning next July, will
follow the Bank of England in reducing
the official rate of discount.

PRICES ARE STILL VERY HIGH
Speculative Spirit la Vet Al.rmid
and Is Likely to Fol
low Any ('uud
Lead.
NEW YORK. June 10.— his weekly
Wall street letter, Henry Clews says:
The stock market has been enjoying a
period of comparatice lest mid recupera
tion since the bull revels of last -.Lay.
Such a period was cesl.able and lias
certainly been healthful. How long t
will last cannot be foretold, for we are
entering upon the season of summer
quiet when absenteeism is usually an ef
fective hindrance to great activity The
present market, however, la not govern
ed by precedents, conditions being so
exceptional as to defy the usual methods
i-i judgment. In considering the future,
therefore, we must accept these condi
tions as we find them; and. while keep
ing history and precedents it. mind not
be ruled by these too rigidly until t'ne
forces which interfere have exercised
their sway. In the long run, natural
conditions will assert themselves, but
just now the market Is largely influenced
by a set of events that require closo
watching; so that while indications just
now are for a good Hading market dur
ing the next sixty days, sudden outbursts
of activity need cause no surprise.
As to the immediate course of prices It
Should not be forgotten that they are al
ready very high; son*., stocks have soar
ed to dizzy heights and are better left
alone by the- unwary. On the other hand
ii must be admitted then an few bear
ish elements in the wituation; in fact,
almost none, except the high prices of
certain stocks and the possibility of
friction developing in some of the big
deals now under way, which would pre
cipitate sharp reactions, the Northern
Pacific slump being still a smarting re
minder. With easy money, July di.-i
--bursesie<nts, good crops, large railroad
earnings and good general business in
sight, there is every prospect that the
market will gradually harden and im
prove if left to Itself. What it will do
under manipulation remains to be seen.
The speculative spirit Is abroad and is
likely to follow any good lead until some
accident or reaching the exhaustion po.nt
induces a setback. Easy money ls likely
to prevail until the crop demand begins
in August. East week's drop in the
bank reserves was a surprise, but as this
was due to transfers connected with im
portant stock deals It exerted only m
porary effect. In all the principal'money
markets of Europe easy rates prevail, an
illustrated by the reduction of the Bank
of England rats to 3 per cent, and with
increasing supplies or gold from the
Klondike and the Transvaal In addition
to other liberal supplies there is little
prospect of any immediate stringency.
The June government crop. Ireport Indi
cated a heavy wheat crop In sight with
the possibility of beating the record.
Some estimates went as h gh as 683.000,
--080 and others 670,000,000. Last year wo
had a crop of only 622,000,000, so that we
are comparatively sure of another year
of prosperity for the, farmers and the
railroads, with a liberal margin for later
damage from weather conditions. The
wonderful demand for Iron and steel has
carried u.s into a new record for their
manufacture, which is now going on at
a rate of over 300.C09 tons per week in
excess of last year's great output. And
in the face _f this stocks at furnaces
show a decrease. Railroad earnings con
tinue to make very handsome gains;
hence confidence in railroad securities Is
well malm Lined, even at present high
prices. The latter are, as everyone
knows, very largely due to the great con
solidation movement which is rapidly
placing our radio:.ls in the control of a
few men and insuring more stable condi
tions of railroad management. Specula
tive operators are of course using this
leverage on the market for all it is
worth, and while stocks are so largely
concentrated in .strong hands as at pres
ent their ability to lift prices _ unusual.
It should be remembered, however, that
the big men have stocks to sell, and that
33 heretofore they will lessen their hold
ings on a rising market. This transfer
of stocks from stroTfg hands to weaker
ones i.s the danger point that must bo
watched, and we are constantly drawing
nearer to it.
