concern were also seriously aggravated
by the shifting currents of trade in this
great city, and especially by the busi
ness depression. It is to be hoped that
our well-intentioned legislators will
take a lesson from this failure, and
realize that there are limits to what
business can bear from sudden radical
changes. Not a few of the new laws
and regulations nro desirable and even
necessary, but they have come probably
with too much of a rush. Largely ow-j
ing to that fact their effect has been to
impair initiative and weakeu confid-
ence; thus precipitating incidents, such
as the tiaflin disaster, which might i
otherwise have been averted.
That there is a general retrenchment j
in business is beyond a doubt. LBst
week bank clearings were nearly 10 1
tier cent less than a year ago; the de
cline being greatest in the New Eng
land and Eastern States; ami for the
five months of the calendar year thc
decline has been over 8 per cent. Gross
railroad earnings showed a loss of 11
per cent for the month of May, and 6
per cent for the first five mouths of
the current year. The number of idle
cars is still abnormally large. The
present net surplus of cars is 232,000,
compared with 64,000 a year ago.
Building operations are on a much
smaller scale tian usual; and the stag
nation of thc steel trade is already un
pleasantly familiar. July disburse
ments for the first time in many years
show a decrease, compared with the
previous year. This was due to the
passing or reduction of a number of
dividends, also to the smaller increase
in new enterprises; tne latter running
at about one-half of the volume at this
time last year. These facts aro stated
not to emphasize depressing factors, but
simply to show that they do exist..
There is good reason for believing
that the stock market has pretty
thoroughly discounted trade reaction.
Security values have been declining
with more or less regularity for more
than eighteen months. A partial re
covery has taken place, but stock
market prices are still upon a low and
relatively substantial basis. There is
little or no inflation or over-expansion
on the Stock Exchange. That body is
suffering more from ovcrcontraction
than anything else. The down town sit
uation, so far as the security market is
concerned, is exceptionally sound. As

good and tend to conserve the stability
of railroad investments. If, on the
other hand, the power is used with
prejudice to either side, the conse
quences may be anything but desirable.
Very shortly the rate decision will bo
handed down, and the most reliable
opinion is that moderate concessions
may be allowed to the eastern lines. It
would be unsafe, however, to be over
confident in anticipating too favorable
a decision. Mexican affairs have again
been an object of some anxiety, tho
situatiou being made worse for the
federals by the taking of Zacatecas by
Villa. That Hnerta must go by one
means or another, is now a certainty;
and it would seem as if 'a settlement
might be more promptly reached by
bringing mierta and Carranza into con
sultation for securing a provisional gov
ernment. Of course hitches must lie ex
pected in such difficult negotiations,
ami it will be a long time before Mex
ico settles dowu into normal conditions
once more. But the probability of
armed intervention by the United
States, though not entirely removed, is
apparently more remote than at any
time since these troubles began.
Of course the market has been un
settled by the difficulties in the dry
goods trade. Should these prove less
serious than at present anticipated, tbey
will quickly cease to have any stock
market significance. Should, however,
the credit situation bo more seriously
disturbed than at present seems likely,
tne effect would necessari.y bo adverse
to stocks for the time being, particu
larly in delaying the much desired re
turn of confidence. Nothing would do
more in restoring' confidence than an
early adjournment of congress and a
postponement of further business legis
lation. Our industrial, commercial and
financial systems have not yet had
time to adjust themselves to thc in
numerable new regulations, some of
which are extremely onerous. There is
ro doubt that business men are sincere
ly anxious to obey the law and meet all
reasonable demands. . Many of the
abuses which aroused public opinion
and are responsible for the pres nt
legislative debacle are matters of his
tory and could not now be repeated.
Our legislators should recogniz the
change! and improved conditions in
business methods and moderate their
