STOCK MARKET IN A
STATE OF HOLIDAY INACTIVITY
Hysterics of the Boom Climax Have Disappeared
and a Season of Calmness Prevails.
By W. G. NICHOLAS.
New York, Dec. 23.—The stock mar
ket has lapsed into a state of holiday
inaction. Transactions have fallen in
volume away below the 1,000,600 share
a day point. The hysterical symptoms
which characterized the market after
and preceding the boom climax have
entirely disappeared, and in lieu there
of reigns a season of calmness and
price stability. Quotations have been
on a rising scale and there is a signal
scarcity of stocks offering. For the
past several years there has been a
sharp advance in the market the last
of December, which the “talent” at
tributes largely to a desiie on the part
of the great insurance companies to
■wind up the year with a favorable quo
tation showing for the investment lines.
The rank and file of traders anticipate
a similar demonstration this year, and
the improvement noted recently may
in a sense discount the usual final
spurt. Trade conditions are extreme
ly favorable in every part of the coun
try. and railroads report satisfactory
earnings.
Nothing to Fear in Washington.
The great financial interests con
trolling the management of railrdads
have reached the conclusion that they
have nothing to fear in the way of hos
tile Washington legislation for at least
another year and possibly a year and
a half. Speaking through his Secre
tary of the Navy, Mr. Paul Morton,
the President has given it out that he

has no intention of running amuck and
attacking Railroad values, and that
whatever he does will be for the mutual
benefit of railroads and shippers. He,
however, makes it plain that he con
siders a revision of the laws necessary
and serves notice that the l'allroads
may as well prepare themselves ac
cordingly. In other words, the dis
emboweling process will be made pain
less, or as nearly so as the Washing
ton surgeons can devise. This is cheer
ful and intended to be reassuring, but
the p'atient upon whom the mutilation
is to be practiced cannot be entirely
comfortable, although an attempt is
made to smile and look pleasant. Pain
less eviseration will be a novelty, but
Mr. Roosevelt appears to Wave no
doubt as to the entire success of the
performance.
‘•Wash Sales" and “Lnnndry Work."
Manipulation of a stock for its rise
or fall would be impossible were It not
for resort to the practice of ‘‘wash
sales,” or “laundry work,” as it is
sometimes called. The more adept In
this practice the more successful the
manipulator becomes and greater the
demand for his services as pool man
ager of deals. To "wash” a stock up
or down means to so juggle trading
therein as to make a market at which
the securities can be bought or sold.
The practice is a recognized science,
and is part of the speculative game
on the Stock Exchange. There is a
rule of the exchange against it, but
the restriction is easy of evasion, and
almost a dead letter. The great ma
nipulations or deals are almost inva
riably engineered by non-members who
are therefore exempt from exchange
discipline. From within the sacred
precincts of his own office the great
operator or financier distributes his
buying or selling orders to certain
members of the exchange who execute
them. These orders may, or may not
be matched the brokers receiving the
orders not being called upon to inquire
as to that and not knowing. All that
interest* the broker is assurance that
there is responsibility behind the or
ders. If he has 1,000, 10,000 Or 80,000
Phares of stock to buy he goes Into
the market and buys It from whomso
ever has the stock to sell.
After “Baling Out.”
After “baling out" the miscellaneous
crowd and finding no stock for sale
he is, perforce, obliged to bid higher
and higher and higher until he gets
what he wants. Some of the stock
may bo supplied by the very man or
Party for whom he Is working, but ol
that he has no knowledge and presum
ably no way of finding out. It is not
his business to know. It Is oftentimes
necessary for the manager of a pool
to buy lOO.QoO shares In order to work
oft 10.000 shares on balance: or sell
100,000 shares before acquiring 10. MO
shares at a desired average figure.
Wash trading or laundrylrig Is a part
of the game and allhough officially
frowned upon, is not regarded by the
• leet as entirely Illegitimate. Ability
to so handle a market as to make
wash trading effectual estubliahe the
pleading of the read manager. It murks
him as a professional of isur* thau
ostial ability and one whoso services
are needed in targe flotations. It Is mo
“flection on titan Ilk-- Mr. Keene of
Mr Ha vemeyer of Mr. HeblK nr Mr,

one man against the world and every
man's hand against his fellow.
Kerne's Topper Ileal.
Lawson accuses Mr. Keene of having
sold 292,000 shares of Copper for H. H.
Rogers, William Rockefeller and other
insiders of Amalgamated Copper. Ev
erybody has known for two or three
years that Mr. Keene most successful
ly marketed 200,000 shares ($20,000,000)
or more for that party, and that he
was able to obtain par or above for
the securities. He did the job cleverly
and to the entire satisfaction of his
clients. His compensation was not
wholly satisfactory and the deal ap
parently left an unpleasant taste in his
mouth; not until recently have he and
Mr. Rogers resumed former friendly re
lations. It was on account of his ex
traordinary abilities as a manipulator
and great market general that J. Pier
pont Morgan picked out Keene to pro
tect the Steel stocks during the first
year of the history of the big trust
and to incidentally unload 1,280,000
shares ($128,000,000) of syndicate stock.
For him to have performed success
fully that herculean task without re
sorting to every known manipulative
device would have been an utter im
possibility. It was as much his boun
den duty to employ to the uttermost
his magnificent abilities in that line
for the benefit of his clients as it would
be for a lawyer to do his best for a
client in a court of justice. According
to the accepted ethical code of the
street, there is nothing in this in the
slightest degree to reflect upon the
honor of Mr. Keene, and in view of
this acknowledged fact it is a little odd
that the great market stategist should
have been thrown into a spasm of mo-
mentary anger over the accusations of
the Boston freak.
Resumed 4 Per Cent. On Savina*.
A majority of the savings banks of
New York have resumed the payment
of 4 per cent, interest on deposits. With
hundreds of millions of dollars in the
vaults of the national and state banks
earning legitimately not more than 2%
to 3% per cent., it seems more than
passing strange that the savings in
stitutions can afford to pay 4 per cent,
on deposits. Great curiosity has been
aroused as to how the savings bank
can afford to pay this high rate and
the query is heard not infrequently:
“Are the savings banks managers be
coming inoculated with the virus of
frenzied finance and departing from
the stereotyped methods of conservat
ism in the handling of the accumulated
surplus of the thrifty multitudes?”
With the great banking institutions
of the city buying deposits at figures
which on their face show a loss the
situation is sufficiently serious to in
vite unfavorable comment, but for sav
ings banks to outbid the other Institu
tions for deposits seems almost sinis
ter. The action of the savings banks
in this respect is being severely criti
cised in conservative quarters.
Proicrexs of Rook Island.
The listing of its preferred and com
mon stock on the London Stock Ex
change marks another step in the pro
gress of Rock Island. The securities
of the new company are now in the
international list and their market po
sition is materially strengthened there
by. Large blocks of stock are already
held in Europe, and with the improved
trading advantages given by the Lon
don listing, foreign interest will be in
creased. Since the new management
assumed control of the property near
ly three years ago it has pursued even
ly and inflexibly a policy of strict con
servatism. Its financial direction has
been singularly free from the taint of
speculation and It has gained steadily
in the estimation of the banking and
Investment interests.

in the campaign for a consolidation of
the Western Union and the MUckay
telegraph companies. Leading bank
ers have been working on the scheme
for several months, their efforts, in
deed, dating back from the death of
John W. Mackay, although nothing
very positive was done until quite a
while thereafter, the part of wisdom
being not to press young Clarence
Mackay too hard in the beginning. Lat
terly the Mackay people have presented
a rather friendly front to those who
have interested themselves in bring
ing about a consolidation, and fire list
ening with patience and interest to the
discussion of various plans which have
been hatched up for unification. The
main objection raised against the com
bination is the expressed fehr that it
would precipitate action at Washing
ton for a government telegraph sys
tem or government ownership of exist
ing properties. The latter alternative
is not as awesome to the telegraph com
panies as might be imagined. Jay
Gould always entertained the belief
that the telegraph companies would
eventually lodge in government control,
the only point with him being the
price. He was always afraid that, when
the time came the government would
not make the appraisement high
enough to / suit.
Four New Subway*.
Plans which have been practically
approved foreshadow the construction
of four additional subways in Greater
New York Within the next few years,
the improvements to cost between slOl,-
000,000 and $125,000,000. Two of these
tubes will be through Manhattan Is
land and two will be In Brooklyn.
There is to be an East Side subway
and a West Side subway to supple
ment the one which now extends north
and south midway of Manhattan Is
land. The people who were at first
inclined to compfain about the subway
are beginning to like that method of
travel and the line is being increasing
ly patronized. It is found to be a
convenient, safe and pleasant mode of
travel, w'ith distinct advantages over
the elevated and surface lines during
stormy and cold weather. Incidental
ly, all the various classes of traction
securities are holding firm, although for
the present speculative interest in them
has measureable subsided. The finan
cial plans for consolidation of the sev
eral systems promise eventually to
establish them on a considerably higher
level.
WABK & LELAN It'S
AVeekly Stock Letter.
New York, Dec. 24.—The stock mar
ket this week has been rather dull and
heavy, caused by the approaching hol
idays, and has been more of a waiting
one than anything else. Sentiment is
a wonderful thing in Wall street. There
has been no radical change in the in
dustrial and financial situation. Con
ditions are still improving. Railroads
and industrials are still making big
profits and paying extra dividends, and
the outlook for next year continues
bright. Yet three weeks ago buyers
were falling over each other to pur
chase stocks from E@lo points above
the present level, whereas now no one
seems to want them. The explanation
is plain. Those who were buyers three
weeks ago were not investors, but were
small traders operating on slender
margins. That more than anything
else caused the sharp break in prices
and shook them from the market. Mr.
Lawson is now out of the way, and has
sunk to the dime novel level, and sends
fake telegrams to himself and furnishes
sensational papers with fairy stories
about the market and attempts to pois
on him. Asa rule, prices advance In
January caused by investment de
mands that arises in connection with
the Interest and dividend disperses.
About $150,000,000 will be dispersed on
this account next month, and the larg
est part of this will be invested in se
curities. Generally all the large life
insurance companies go Into the mar
ket at that time of the year, and that
should hold it up. For the past four
months we have been very bullish on
the stock market, and advised out
friends to buy it, end we see no rea
son to change -our mind. Do not for
get that prices are a long ways from
being inflated yet, and there are many
bargains in the market.
Because prices have had a set-back
and shoe-string speculators have been
frozen out, that is no reason to look
for a bearish market. Stocks will go
much higher, and until conditions ma
terially change there can be no genu
ine bear market. We strongly recom
mend the Steel stocks. Also American
Car Foundry. Among the grangers
Missouri Pacific and Rock Island look
particularly good. Southern roads
should have an advance. Louisville and
Nashville and Southern Railway will
undoubtedly sell higher. We have In
formation that A. D. T. (American Dis
trict Telegraph Company), which is
controlled by the Western Union Tele
graph Company, will be put on a 4 per
cent, basis. We should not be sur
prised to see that stock sell as high
as 60 In the next few months.. There
Is nothing in sight to scare an inves
tor If he will hold stocks long enough.
