THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1907. 3 NEED CONFIDENCE IS HILL'S President of Great Northern Says Country Wants More Investors. CONDITIONS ARE GENERAL I'eopfe With Money AV11I Not Invest Until Confidence Restored Trou ble Extends Beyond Wall Street' Into the West. SEW YORK. Aug. 2S. (Special.) James J. Hill, chairman of the board of the Great Northern Railroad, returned here from St. Paul today. When asked for his opinion of the specific causes of the troubled condition of the securities mar kets, the veteran railroad builder, who has the reputation of looking a little fur. ther than" a majority of men, said: "The weakness In bonds and stocks is not confined to this country alone. The condition is worldwide, but in this coun try we need money more than it is needed anywnere else. Of course, money is not Bcareer here than it has ever been. The amount of money, as such, is the same. But there is a lack, not so much .of in vestment power, as of investors. Need Clear Head, Steady Hand. "What we need most just now is a clear head in charge of the Nation's affairs and a steady hand at the helm." "Do you believe," Mr. Hill was asked, ."that a clear head and steady hand are guiding the country's policy at present?" "Oh, yes, to be sure," replied the builder of the Great Northern, "but in order to get those who have power to make investments to regard good se curities with more favor, it will be neces sary to restore- confidence. How can that be done? I can't say how. Every man probably has his own opinion of that sub ject. I don't view the situation with any alarm. I should .think prices were at about their lowest. I don't see how they can go much lower. Not In Wall Street Alone. "There appears to be a belief tuat all this trouble is confined to Wall street. That is a mistaken Impression. The same condition affects the whole country. That fact is realized out West just as clearly as' here. Merchants there are extend ing less credit and that is an encourag ing sign. It will prevent over extension of credit and avert any danger from that source." NOT COMING TO PORTLAND Battleships Will Also Slight Tacoma in Seattle's Favor.
