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throughout the railroad stock list there are renewed evidences of support by large speculative interests, which was withdrawn or held in suspense during the weeks when the public was out of the market and the prevalence of drought at the \\ est lent force to apprehensions about the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.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

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. A CLEVER TRICK.
