Dec. fi—For iome tlma past It has been evident that the rise la stocks had 1>een excessively pushed. The big trading element, which now carries a much larger share of float Ing stocks than In generally suppos ed, showed no disposition to enlarge Itsscommitment* on the long side; while the Investing and speculative public profiting by past experience, could not be Induced to absorb any Important portion of the stocks offer ed by the big holders, who have been energetically lifting the market since the panic. With this cessation of home buying came free foreign sell ing London openly encouraged real ising upon American stocks, and aervatlve foreign bankers have been very explicit In their disapproval of our stock market manipulations. To their clients they freely expressed the Opinion that the rise In this market had been altogether too rapid and Otit of all proportion to the Impro mint' In business conditions on this side of the Atlantic. In consequence there has been a return of American stocks end bonds at a considerable profit to the foreign holders and scAle not witnessed In many months. happened that some of lending bankers held similar opinions, though possibly from different motives. They hud no desire to see nnother speculative debouch such as preceded the collapse of 1907; because they recognised that a second panic would not only Indefinitely postpone try. but might Invite a wider, deeper •nd more lasting depression than the first. Lack Credit Hurt Roads. Moreover, last year's violent de rangement of credit had brought to an abrupt standstill many of tho ex tensive railroad Improvements render ed Imperative by Inadequate transpor tation facilities. For these Increased facilities there was a most urgent de mand. which could not ho satisfied until the money market and the secur ity market admitted of fresh capital Issues which had been temporarily sus pended. It Is well known that our railroads mush now come into th** mar ket with many Important Issues, which could not be successfully floated In an excited and dangerously high stock market. All conservative forces.there fore. were united In discouraging a speculative furore, and It Is to bo hoped they will succeed. Urges Tsking of Profits. Even many of the speculative lead ers have wisely moderated their ef forts to force prices to a higher level at this time, recognizing $ hit It is more prudent to wait until the present level bus boon weil established or until a further Improvement In con ditions warrant still better prices. One thing Is certain, there lire few. If any, bargains In the New York stock mar ket. and shrewd Investors who usual ly begin to look «iround at this season likely to pick bp many stocks for their strong boxes at present prices, bonds and some of the new Issues be ing more likely to receive the prefer ence as affording safer and more prof. Itahfe returns on their money. The difficulty of engineering a January rise, which often starts In December, will thus be greater than usual, and It may be that some time will clnpso before another prolonged bull move ment can be successfully Inaugurated. Meanwhile, we should advise the tak f profits on all good rallies, for the market leaders In spite of lessen ed holdings still have stocks for salo anil will no doubt keep up an appeaf- of strength notwithstanding weak ened technical conditions. This was shown In the effort to advance second class stocks as a cover for spiling lha high priced Issues. Monty Still Too Easy. The money market, while (Inner. Is still too easy to please Inrge lenders who desire more profitable employ ment for their surplus funds. The prolonged ease In money was not en tirely satisfactory. It Is one of the usual sequences of panic and Indicates ntinued Inactivity In torn# llpes of finitely more appreciated In the future than at present. The dose he admin istered was n bitter one. but the pa tient needed It The period for agi tation, however. Is now over: air. Roosevelt has done the work for Which he was best fitted, and the work of crystallizing an awakened public oplhlon Into Intelligent and equitable ‘ fi regarding corporations •e begun. It should be left to the Judicious action of con- groan. aided a« far as practicable by the tactful Mr. Taft, who stands pledged to the Roosevelt policies of reform. Tariff Main Issue. The tariff, however, is sure to be the main issue of the coming session of congress; also of the special ses sion which Mr. Taft will very likely call. In all probability the tariff dis cussion will be complicated by the rapidly growing government deficit, which If not checked will cause no little embarrassment; for Qlther na tional expenses must he checked or further sources of revenue provided, tho latter having suffered from butd- nesg depression find the prohibition campaign. Last year the government reported a surplus of $84,000,000; this year there Is a deficit of $58.000,000. a loss of $142,000,000 In twelve months. The tariff battle wdli chiefly center the steel schedule, especially as 1 Carnegie hax said the steel duties nre unnecessary and many American manufacturers wish to buy their raw materials In shape of steel In the cheapest market. More or less hesi tation Is sure to accompany tariff ag Itatton. but the derangement to busi ness will bo much less than on for mer occasions, because many of Industries arp much less dependent upon ft tariff than formerly and there are rnnny Industries that wouTd be positively stimulated by gaining cheaper raw materials and wider mar* kets under adequate tariff revision. In any case there Is no serious dls turbance to business In sight at pres eftt arising from new tariff legisla tion. The business outlook Is slowly but surely Improving and the main difficulty with tho stoek market *" that It has discounted such Impro ment probably too far In advance, hence It Is now trying to resist the •natural reactionary tendencies. Fri day's outburst of strength was one cf those displays which may be expected nt almost any time while the market renin In* so completely in control of powerful manipulators.
