1 he Financial Outlook.
Although the peace negotiations have
dragged along in a truly Spanish fashion,
their influence lias been 'beneficial to the
temper and activity of the market. A more
immediate speculative factor is, however,
supplied by Hie rains at the West and the
relief from fears regarding the outcome of
the corn and spring wheat crops. Whether
'Wall street had exaggerated both the dan
ger to the crops and the present improve
ment in their position is immaterial. It
lias apparently been concluded that there
will be no deficiency in railroad tonnage
this season, and as a result the increased
speculative activity induced by the pros
pect of peace has turned once more to the
railroad share list, while discussion in
finitutinl and speculative circles again
deals mainly with railroad earnings and
the prospect of higher values for railroad
securities. It is natural under the circum
stances that the Granger stocks should
take the lead in such a movement. The
activity in that portion of the list has ac
cordingly been a feature and has found
material to work upon in the excellent
earning statements for the twelve months
ending June 30th. which have been made
public this week by a number of important
systems, such as the Burlington, Atchison
and I nion Pacific. In the case of the Bur
lington, the stock of which has been the
most prominent object of attention, the
returns figure out surplus earnings equiv
alent to over 7 per cent upon the com
pany’s stock, as compared with only 5 per
cent dividend for the year. Taken in con
junction with the belief that the safety of
the corn crop will afford another year of
equally goods results, the speculative com
munity are impressed with the probability
of an increase in Burlington's dividend
rate. Conclusions of a somewhat similar
character in regard to companies like
lAtehison and Union Pacific, which have
not yet joined thw dividend paying ranks,
are also noted, while it must be remarked
that throughout the railroad stock list
there are renewed evidences of support by
large speculative interests, which was
withdrawn or held in suspense during the
weeks when the public was out of the
market and the prevalence of drought at
the \\ est lent force to apprehensions about
the crops.
liade conditions throughout the country
are certainly excellent .and the end of the
summer dullness finds the commercial and
industrial community confident in regard
to an active and profitable season, partic
ularly if peace is added to the other in
fluences. The abundance of capital, the
beginning of a renewed movement of gold
from Europe to the United States, and the
tangible impression that Europe’s depleted
stocks of breadsiuffs will result in heavy
purchases of our grain irrespective of the
size of the world’s crops, create the im
pression that we shall hold and increase
our already enormous favorable trade bal
ances. Altogether the general conditions
as regards the financial and business sit
uation and the circumstances which de
termine the prosperity of railroad and in
ditstii.il corporations are unquestionably
a basis for a bull speculation. There is
vastly more latitude for profits at present
in purchasing than in selling securities.
If unfavorable elements of the situation
ate considered there are few in sight. At
e period like the present the usual claim
of the stock market professionals, that the
market has over-discounted the situation
amounts to very little. Many parts of the
stock list have had comparatively little
Improvement, and the advances even in
the leaders are not extravagant, when it is
considered that in the opinion of eminent
bankers the United States has reached a
point where 3 per cent is the legitimate
return on invested capita). The rate cut
ting, of which more or less is heard, is
certainly an evil, but on the other hand,
ihe railroads have lately devoted them
selves to an economization of operating
cost with much greater success than they
have lately met in holding up rates to old
time l.vels There is some danger of an
other yellow fever scare, but thus far the
massing of troops in the South and in Cuba
presents no evidences of a serious out
break of anything beyond local malaria
In this connection it might be mentioned
that the securities of Southern railroads
are attracting attention and gaining in
creased confidence. This is largely the re
cult of the favorable earnings displayed
®y systems in that section, while a power
ful influence is exerted by such incidents
as the recent declaration of 2 per cent
upon Norfolk and Western preferred and
the assurance that that road’s earnings are
sufficient to make the stock henceforth a
permanent 4 per cent dividend payer
The renewed activity in railroad stocks
has interrupted the tendency of profes
sional speculators to trade in the indus
trials. A slight cheek has accordingly
occurred in the advance of the latter
group. The general conditions throughout
the country, however, leave no question
about industrials as a class sharing In the
coming prosperity and legitimately com
manding higher values.
Radical Railway Economies.
The men who own and control the greit
railroads of the country are contemplating
heavy expenditures on their lines, to place
them upon a more economical basis. It is
a business necessity that the net earnings
shall be increased. Competition is such
•tfhat any decided increase in freight or pas
senger rates is out of the question, and the
interstate commerce law does not allow
pooling. Their working force cannot be
reduced, nor can the deaired increase in
profits be obtained by cutting wages.
Hence their attention has been turned to
the improvement of the roadbeds, and by
the adoption of new anq more economical
transfer and terminal arrangements. New
York and Chicago will of course be the
centers in which the latter will be tried
first. What the plans are the railroad
managers refuse to make public, and prob
ably they are not fully matured. But it is
claimed that engineering staffs have figur
ed out that millions of dollars can be saved
yearly by a radical recasting of railway
combinations at terminal and transfer
points.
The principal of economizing by reduc
ing grades, straightening out curves, and
improving the roadbeds, thus making the
haul quicker and cheaper, is certainly prac
tical. The Lake Shore has done work of
this kind on a large scale, and President
John Newell left these improvements as his
permanent monument. Such improvements
permanetnly reduce the cost of hauling and
handling of trains, and large expenditures
in making the mare justified by the in
crease in net earnings which result.
One long talked of improvement seems on
the eve of success. It is the substitution
of steel ties for wooden ones. It takes
one hundred million new ties each year in
the United States to replace those which
have become unserviceable through decay.
Numerous experiments have been made
with metaiic ties, but they are unsatisfac
tory. Now, it is said, a steel tie has
been invented which avoids the objections
hitherto formed and has been approved by
the chief engineers ot two or three of the
great railway system.' of this country
Tney can be put down at a cost of about
$1.25 each, and will outlast a half dozen
wooden ties. If this be so, the total saving
in this country by their substitution will
foot up millions of dollars every year.
The principal of reducing running ex
penses by rendering the hauling of trains
cheaper and quicker, and by improved
handling at terminals and exchange points,
is a correct one. It means permanent re
duction of operating expenses and thui a
greater margin between gross and net re
ceipts—or, in other words, greater returns
to the owners of the roads.
Upward Business Tendency.
There is no doubt that the business
community is already feeling the quicken
ing influence of the negotiations for peace
and the prospects for a revival of trade.
Here in Macon there is a feeling of in
creased confidence in the future that ar
gues well. Our merchants are taking on
new life, local industries are increasing
their facilities, financial institutions are
becoming more Liberal, there is a vast
amount of building being done, fewer peo
ple are idle, and everyone seems to feel
encouraged over th "Ok
The same conditim »eem to exist else
where. and there a; evidences of a gen
eral renewal all ov r the country. The
reports of the launching of new enter
prises or enlargement of old ones multiply.
Here are some which have come under
notice:
In anticipation of the opportunities for
profitable investment of capital that will
be afforded in Cuba at the close of the war
the A. Speer Plow 'Company, of Pittsburg,
is taking steps to re-open its branch house
in Havana and it is the expectation of
Pittsburg manufacturers that a year hence
will find nearly a score of Pittsburg’s large
steel plants and business firms with
branch establishments and selling agen
cies in the large cities of Cuba.
Renewed prosperity is reported from
Birmingham, Ala., where a new SBOO,OOO
steel plant is to be constructed and where
old mills are putting on larger forces. A
dispatch from Chattanooga, Tenn., gives
a list of new industries started recently
at various points in the South and indi
cates increased industrial activity even at
this dull season of the year.
The New York Commercial under the
caption of “A Boom in Industrials” says:
The financial markets have not been oc
cupied solely with waiting for results as
regards the crops which determine the
earnings of railroads and the prices of
their securities during the ensuing twelve
months. Wall street has seen during the
past six weeks or so a mild but neverthe
less distinct little boom in what are called
industrial stocks. Hinder the influences of
increased business, better earnings and
prospective dividend payments a number
of the industrials and ex-trusts have made
rather marked advances, and nearly the
whole group of such securities is more ac
tive and sell at a higher level than they
have done for some years "ast.
Attention was first called by the Com
mercial to the strong probability of such a
movement. It was pointed out fully two
months ago in these columns that the bet
ter conditions prevalent in the various
trades which the big industrial combina
tions monopolize, either in part or whole,
could not fail to ultimately result in better
values for their stocks, and would most
likely attract the attention and enlist the
activity of speculative manipulators.
Against Church Bells.’
The editor of the Baltimore Methodist
Protestant makes a vigorous editorial on
slaught on church bells. He declares that
they are wholly unnecessary under the
conditions of modern life. When first used
they served a useful purpose, because peo
ple had neither watches nor clocks, and it
was impossible to tell the exaet time of
service without them. This is no longer
so. People regulate their church-going by
clock time, not by the clanging of bells.
Further than this, he is opposed to them
because of the expense, and because they
are injurious to the sick and exasperating
to the nervous. He closes his article with
the following:
’’Millions of dollars are wasted on them
(the bells) that would build churches,
schools, hospitals and asylums, all to create
a noise and to distress those who are so
unfortunate as to be located near them.
They are an aggravating nuisance, and
pay a tribute to heathenism, the customs of
which they perpetuate.
“We know a church in which a bell
strikes every fifteen miutes. and each
striking is proceeded by a monotnous little
tune. When it strikes it shakes the beds
of people who live adjacent. All this is
done n the name of religion. Some idiot
composed a tune about “ringing the bells
of heaven.” We trust that there are no
bells in that divine abode, and if there are
we can hardly wonder that some people
are not making better preparations to get
there.”

Will Be Called on to Pay the Special War
Tax.
Under the new war tax bill the social
club, be it high toned or common, stands
on the same plane as the ordinary, every
day saloon and must pay the same war
tax.
Commissioner Scott has issued a ruling
to the various' collectors of internal rev
enue, telling them that all clubs, whether
Incorporated or not, that sell liquor to
their members, are on the same footing as
the retail liquor dealers, and amenable to
the same special war tax. The machinery
of the collector’s office in every district is
to be put into operation to collect all dues
from these clubs that the law exacts.

The Roots
of Life
Cancer strikes at the very roots of
life. It is beyond all human potvei
to foresee its coming. In the begin
ning it is just a speck or small lump
or pimple. That is the time to stop
it. Don’t delay an instant. Every
pimple or mole is a possible Cancer.
In a year it may be eating your life
away. For
Sancer
Take Swiff's Specific. It is the
only known cure for this deadly dis
ease. It will free the system of the
poisons that cause Cancer and other
morbid growths. Even after Cancer
has a deep foothold, it will cure, but
it takes longer. It is a medicine
that goes right down to the very
roots of life in the blood, and forces
out every vestige of impurity. It
goes to the seat of the most obstin
ate cases, which are beyond the
reach of other blood remedies.
No sufferer who cares for life can
afford to lose time with surgical
operations or torturing plasters, as
such treatment cannot reach the
blood. Swift’s Specific is the
only Real Cancer Cure on the face
of the earth.
