AN HYSTERICAL WEEK
IN THE STOCK MARKET
Leaders in the Bull Campaign Out of the Market
or Turning Bears.
By W. G. NICHOLAS.
New York, Oet. 29.—The excitement
in the stock market at times this week
has approached hysteria. The active
stocks have been subjected to violent
action, being; churned up and down
with great rapidity and witih the most
eccentric disregard o£ normal influ
ence*.
It has been no uncommon thing for
the leaders to jump 3 or 4 points in a
day and break back nearly as fair. Un
der cover of this frenzied activity there
has been heavy and general liquida
tion of pooled stocks. Large lines
bought by the banking Interests very
much lower down have been unloaded
upon tthe public and there is wide
spread belief that the cleaning out pro
cess has been thorough. The leaders
and the chief participants In the great
bull campaign have for the most part
taken their profits, and are now either
out of the market of bearlshly dis
posed.
Manv constitutional bulls will lie
back in anticipation of a big reaction,
and In the confident expectation of be
ing able to get in again at lower prices.
They are bulls on tihe general situation,
but feel that speculation has gone too
far and that legitimate business im
provement has been more than dis
counted- This was the (view ex
pressed by Mr. Vanderlip in his recent
speech at fit. Louis. That utterance
Is being now recalled and disounsed
with greater earnestness than it was
at the time of deliverance.

the one man in the world outside of
Mr, Rockefeller who knows all the
secrets of the mighty Standard Oil
monopoly. He is the one man in the
world in whom the financial colossus
reposes entire confidence. By those of
the inner circle he has long been rec
ognized as Mr. Rockefeller’s closest
personal representative, and his word
is paramount at 26 Broadway. So far
as known there has never been a
clash of authority between him and
any of the lesser Rockefellers or H.
H. Rogers; but it the question of
precedence in the affairs of the insti
tution should arise Dodd’s will would
prevail, for he is essentially IT.
Mr. Dodd does not pretend to be a
financier or a master in stock market
manipulation. It is rather with ques
tions of policy that he dabbles. He
might properly be described as the
Rockefeller secretary of state, and to
him is given political direction of the
Standard 041 and Its destinies. Con
trol of matters pertaining to money
and trade is vested In William Rocke
feller and H. H. Rogers The two
younger Rockefellers are being train
ed to take the places of their fathers.
Neither has the surpassing genius of
the sires, but as they will only have
to take care of what their parents
have erected, their task will not call
for an exercise of superhuman talent.
A Denial ’That Nobody Believes.
Mr. Dodd's denial that the Standard
Oil multi-millionaires are banded to
gether for speculation discredits his en
tire statement for everybody in Wail
street knows to the contrary. The
Dodd statement has barely the virtue
of technical “accuracy. It is no doubt
true that Standard Oil as a corpora
tion sticks closely to its legitimate busi
ness, but there can be no truthful de
nial of the obvious and flagrant fact
* SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. OCTOBER 30. 1904.
that Standard Oil multi-milliortajres are
powerfully active in banking, promo
tion and speculation In and about Wall
street. It Is also notorious that these
interests work in entire harmony and
that by reason of the enormous wealth
of the aggregation and its varied con
nections the Standard Oil party domi
nates the financial situation on every
important emergency. Standard Oil In
fluence for a depression or for a rise
in value has come to be irresistible.
The Street Full of Roorbacks.
Wall street is inundated with roor
backs. Nothing is too absurd to be
sprung on the speculative fraternity
and given instant credence. This con
ditidh has bred a multitude of bob
tailed pools whose only capital is the
ability to buy a few hundred shares
of stock and then spring the report
that ‘‘Jim’’ Keene, William Rockefel
ler, H. H. Rogers sr James Btlllman
is behind the deal and is going to boost
the 'stock skyward. Immediately the
c redulous traders jump in and buy some
of the stock thereby marking up quo
tations and enabling the organizers of
the pools to sell out at a profit. This
scheme is being played every day with
the result that the fambs are being
landed with stocks at fictitious val
ues.
The professional tipsters are availing
themselves of these conditions to work
up big cllentelles. Thousands upon
thousands of the unsophisticated sub
scribe to the service given out by these
tipsters paying from $5 a week to *SO
a month for advice which is worse than
worthless. While the market is on the
general upturn these tipsters cannot
make many mistakes. Anything they
tip Is bound to advance and their repu
tation for market wisdom spreads and
their customers multiply. Everybody
wants their inside information. The
wind-up in invariably the utter extin
guishment of whatever money may be
invested in the market on the strength
of these advices for reactions are bound
to occur.
The Boater business has become epi
demic and the financial pages of the
Sunday papers are overflowing with the
advertisementH of the wiseacres, each
and every one of whom proclaim*
grandiloquently that he is strictly on
the inside and enjoys confidential re
latione with the leaders of the market.
“Jim" Keene, William Rockefeller, H.
H. Rogers, J. Plerpont Morgan, John
W. Oates, each and every one call the
tipsters in every morning for con
sultation. and for full disclosure of
the plans of the day. These tipsters
occupy back rooms In cheap office
buildings, and are In conefant fear and
trembling least McCluskey and his
plain clothes men will get them.
Declare* Lawson i* Cruy,
H. H. Rogers’ organ, the New York
Commercial, editorially, declares that
Tom Lawson of Boston is crasy. Law
son does appear to strike wild when he
gives II out through his magaaln* that
some years ago *180.000,000 of French
capital was pledged to back a schema
of his to break the "system,” a term
by which he designates the Standard
Oil machine. There Is also a suspic
ion of dope In the additional Lawson
statement that he turned down the
Gallo *100.000.000. believing that at
some future time he would have the
amount at hi* own disposal. Having
commenced his campaign to deatroy
the "system” the assumption Is nat
urally that he has the *100,000,000 at
his command.
Lawson is further embaraesed by
the official announcement that there is
no foundation whatever fbr hi* pic
turesque story of having come to the
rescue of the Westlnghouee Company,
and succassfiitly engineered their
mammoth stock deal for the upbuild

Lambs Pouring Inin Wall Street.
The iambs are pouring into Wall
street by the tens of thousands. They
corns from everywhere bent on self
sacrifice. They come loaded. They
have fleece of from six months to two
years' growth, something well worth
the shearing—and the shearers are
busy And working overtime.
E. C. M. Rand is the latest addi
tion to the army of professional liti
gants in Wail street. He is out this
week witih an Invitation to stockhold
ers and bondholders of Jim Crow
lowa railroad to turn their securities
over to him as a foundation for liti
gation against the Rock Island Rail
load, a former lessee. Rand was at
one time a subordinate clerk for Rus
sell Sage, for whom he occasionally
worked in the line of Investigation of
railway accounts. After being tired by
Sage he instituted a number of suits
against the venerable miser for back
pay. He subsequently engaged in other
litigation of a frivolous sort and his
last attempt has been characterized by
the news agencies of the street as too
foolish to talk about.
Rales' Big Killing.
John W. dates and his intimate as
sociates have made a big killing in the
stock market, greatly to the annoyance
of a large element in Wall street which
would like to see him go broke. Col.
Oates Is the especial antipathy of the
Standard Oil crowd, J. Plerpont Mor
gan and many others. He ts looked
upon in that section a* a wild, un
tamed proposition, who can never be
brought under restraint or made amen
able to the rules of the club. He in
sists upon conducting (hi* own game
after his own fashion. The whole street
is in combination against him. Occa
sionally the street gets a piece of his
hide, but in the grand round up he is
shown to be largely ahead of the game.
Within the week he has sold out an
Immense line of storks, said to be over
400,040 shares and to have taken down
a profit in excess of *5,000,000. He was
one of the early bulls in Atlantic
Coast Line. Louisville and Nashville,
Atchison, Union Pacific and the Head
ings. He was also bullish on many
other storks. Associated with Col.
dates In his campaign were John W.
Drake and two or three others of mi
nor Importance. Loyal Unfith. who was
formerly one of Oates' running mates.
Is now playing a lone hand, and on oc
casions has been known to say harsh
things of the Chicago plunger.
Hlll Disturbs the Curb.
The gentlemen on the curb are
5 rearly distressed on account of James
. Hill’s partiality to foreign holders
of Northern HerurWtee stock, of which
(there are several hundred. Of his own
motion. Mr. Hill arranged to advance
to small foreign stockholders *1.000,000
In the shape of a 2Vt per cent, dividend
pending the judicial settlement of th*
Hlll-Herriman controversy. The gos
sips of the street have worked them
selves Into quit* a fury of Indignation
over Mr. Hill'* failure to Include th*
Amerli’en stockholders in his distribu
tion. The gristly old autocrat of the
Northwestern railroad world doesn’t
sewn t asre. however, and goes grum
bllngty on hie way after his own pe
culiar manner. The old man seldom
feels called upon to oonault either the
wishes or the convenience of other
l<*opl*, especially the people of Wall
el root, for whom he profess#* profound
