CHAKLOTTE DAILY OBSERyEJ SiFi'MBEK 14, 1903. Financial and Commercial ror AXciAn review. ; New York, Sept. U. Last week's opera , tlotup In th atock market showed the still -, , stimulating effect ol the redundant condi tion o the money market by a further - rise la prices la tba first lew days. The ' sharp reaction which accompanied the - small flurry In the call money market of 'the latter part of the week was a strife In testimony to the important part play ' -.ed In the speculative position by the ease ' kof th money market. ' The abundance of runaa wttJcn oouia oe procure a on can at 1 1 per cent or under constituted a strong : attraction for the - taking on ol stock 'A' holdhasa and the marking tip ol prices. . . 7 The operations to this end have bees ' frankly 'scribed to a limited circle of .

The inference from Ttnle condition -would be that the active ' dealings on the stock exchange were not . ' . affecting any widespread distribution of ,V' stocks. Thar la equal agreement, on. the other hand, that substantial holders of . f stocka have shown little dlsposttfon to J t market their holdings In spite ol the at- ; iracwve level to wnicit prices have been - lifted by the summer rise. ; . :. . V The readjustment of prices was justified ta tho mlnda of Its promoters by tba low - Interest for money compared with the re- 7 : ; turn of securities and by the revival In . -., business activity.

Correspondence of The Observer. : JVw York. Sept. 12. The striking news iMmiiinniMti of the financial week have " ,n rlrst. tha decision of the United 'fitataa circuit Court of Kastern Pennsyl ; van la, declaring ths commodity els use of . the Hepburn law unconstitutional, seo : ' end, th promulgaUon by the Department . i;f Agriculture of what for practical pur ; .. ; poses 1 Its preliminary harvest return, ..and. third, tho sudden advance In call V money to 24 per cent. Th first two of ihu Ittmi were reassuring; the last J named la not surprising. The wheat and ' corn harrastt. It Is troe. will probably '.""not figure quite up to expectations cur-,'-V rent a month or so ago; they are, how- aver, considerably above the average, and ' ' as the danger point' even for corn may f'-' iowl considered to have been safely J passed, one of the chief sources oi uncer V; int in tha general financial situation Is ' removed. Th wheat promise 1 12.000,000 usbals ahead of the final harvest returns v .-of a rear ago. lUeU an excellent crop ; .ir and nrleea are fully as high as those Current at thla data In 1907-about $1.01 " per bushel for No. S red. the standard, f Th corn nromlse also exceeds that of v ' last year, though by only S.a,000 bushels, ; the Indicated yield being 8,606.197,000 bush- els; and corn futures ar about 10c per ! V .bushel over th prices current ai ' Urn last year. Final harvest returns ' ' usually . xced the' preliminary tndlca tions. OaU and hay. which are also Im-'- pertant crops, are well above th 1907 re ", . turns, while cotton, though It haa not yet -i" advanced . sufficiently to Justify definite X estimates, will unqueatlonably - rank V' : ambnff the.btghMt yield of recent years. Taken altogether, therefore, the agrlcul- tural sections, and all whose success Is associated with ths products s of the 0 - ground, art assured of still another addl ' . tlon to the long yearly record of agrlcul "' tural prosperity that haa Temalned un ; -'': broken tine th partial - fellur of the . -eorn crop in 1901. Tha agricultural lntr- seU have participated only Indirectly In ' th recent flnaneUl upheaval:. they art sound and solvent; their purchasing . ' , - power la stlU Intact and they are merely . ;- awaiting the touch of complete confidence ' (0 extend ths hand of fellowship and fra ternal aid to th Industrial and, jln turn, i' the- weroantlle InteresU of th country. " Jt I hardly probable thar these two In MMtm. vHt show much progrea until :; after the November election, and In the 7 ' meantime their demands will jiot become ' Important faotora In th-money market. - ' The Circuit '.Court decision - that thd IVT commodity clause of the Hepourn law ITNinconBtltutlonal Is important as .furnish r" Ins still another evidence, u on. .were needed, though I tor one "have never ' , doubted It, that the government of the ; United States may be depended upon to ' ' 1 give through Us proper Judicial bodies ' Justice to rich and poor, and to deal out ? V justlo alike to the righteous and th on righteous. . Tho particular point ol the clause was that the ooal-carrylng rall ' roads were sought to b prevented from carrying their own eoal as a commodity -- A to sell to consumers; they could. It was - , conceded, own th coal properties; they, .. ' could carry coal for their own uses: but 7 they could not carry coal to sen to others aad the valu of their properties was ' a therefor ysry greatly at Issue, The court ' ha decided In effect that property rights f were attacked: that th fifth amend- ment to the constitution forbidding that 'any person 'shall be deprived of life. Ub-j ' erty' or property without due process of lew bad been violated. The matter will i te carried to the) Supreme Court, where 5 a decision wilt b given after proper and ' " careful' deliberation. But-Supreme Court decision art matters for consideration ' for the distant future; th Hepburn act . ' as a disturbing featuse Is removed from th list of Immediate market influences and to that extent the situation is clear ed.' Th entire incident merits classifica tion amorrg tno developments that bav recently been so significant of th ap proach toward dissolution III the wave of State and other forms of antagonism to wards associated capital that haa befa too generally current of lat years. The wave la certainly, passing and owners of securities are becoming more ' and more assured of the permanence ol their investments. So far as the advance in call money to IH per cent Is concerned. It may be' re garded as seasonable; and it will not be surprising if It Is further advanced later on. But it may to some, extent be wei corned as showing the extreme vulner ability of the market Prices of stocks ar unquestionably high; their present range fully discounts the excellent agricultural situation and whatever recoveries, in trade and Industry and also In financial Circles, have taken plac sine th finan cial -upheaval -ol laat autumn. Money has been so superabundant as to be great market factor. As a matter of fact, a condition of Inflation may" be said to have . entered ln0 tb situation In the stock market because of th practically unlimited availability, of money for mar ket uses. Th money situation. Indeed; has been the chief agency in the, bands of the large market Interests, who, act Ing In concert, have been behind . th st sady advance In the market that has taken place during the last three months or so. Whether th range of quotations will be further advanced will depend up on the desire of these interests and not upon legitimate .development affecting market conditions. - A cautionary signal In thla direction Is the fact that the call loans that one of tb large local-banks has outstanding fslls but a ahade under the enormous sum 'of $130,000000; other same proportion, and should It be in con sonance with the plans of the large capi tallsts who control these banks to oper ate tor a decline. It la quite evident they nave, uy me suaaen calling or loans, ro cblnery at their disposal capable of caus ing a particularly spectacular decline in view of the present sensitive condition of the market. It la hardly probable that the plans of th market leaders contem plate an attack of this character; but it la the part of wisdom to keep in mind that conditions are present that would make such an attack hfghly successful from the standpoint of demoralisation, Railroad traffic statements a re showing the effects of most - severe economies, which must necessarily be reflected tn re duct Ions In th net returns of the large railroad systems, and It is to b hoped that the economies will not be carried to the point of aotual Injury to th proper ties. Trade condition are siowiy improv Ing and will probably continue to lm prove; but business affairs are still far from normal. Imports are making a bet' ter showing, on Wednesday the largest single day'a customs revenue since Jan uary having been collected at th port of New York, while the average receipts so far In September show distinct Improve ment over August Exports are also looking up somewhat, the value of do tnestlc products exported In August be. Ing $46,314,796. comparing with $44,W7,(H5 In Augnat, 1807. and $48,896,Kt tn August, 1S08. while so far for the calendar year the value Is itrw.4Eo.GOO, as against $55,080, 711 ons year ago. and $504,188,263 two years aco. There Is. however, a large trad International balance due this country, and with tha foreign banks well stocked with gold any substantial advance In monev rates here will attract the pre clous metal .especially as the season of active exports of our grain and cotton so closely at hand. ' " The. market of tho immediate future prosftes active fluctuations and will probably be successfully taken advantage of by the nimble trader. The fact should be kept actively in mind, however, that the price-range is high and caution can. not be too strongly urged, A particularly encouraging influence Is the continued da mand for bonds and the fact that with the scarcity of the exclusively high grades Interest Is, now being shown in ths best of the second grade issues. HENRY CLEWS. Latham's weekly Cotton Ijcttcr. Correspondence of The Observer. 1 Greensboro, Sept. 12, The collapse of the August squeeze in Liverpool haa low ered the price of spot cotton In that mar ket, resulting In an Increased . demand from spinners who have abstained until their needs are acute. New England and Southern spinners have also bought rath' er freely this week tn the South and tha markets have been ateady. There are no visible signs, however, of Improving trad either at home or abroad and the con sumption of cotton at present Is probably not over 75 per cent, of normal. Crop nrtnnecta continue cood and belief In large crop is fault general. Arriertcan spinners are bar of stocks and must b constant buyers, but so far they buy only from hand to mouth and await lower levels because the price of goods is rela tively lower than cotton. J. K.

The heroine of . Eugene Walter's tew play, "The Wolf." which will Be seen at the Academy of Mualo to night. Is an Innocent young- woman, who haa been reared by hr 8cotch father, far from th haunt of men." so that at the age of It she la quit unfamiliar with th meaning of th word "love." "What is KT" she asks, "do you have It In th woods T" Tou certainly do In this play and "th greatest thing In th worjd." "love." If what the playwright and the pro ducer no doubt have built their hopes of success. "The Wolf." ! the UgUMi tlve appellation of a scoundrel engi neer who has mad tats way into a little Canadian clrcl. In th Hudson bay country, where he plans to ruin the life of a pretty young girl, the daughter of an old Scotch trader, who has caught his fleeting fancy. He has a wife and family at home, but he has always followed women. He has already betrayed one and left her to die with her child and It la her brother as it happens who Is hero to block him in his designs upon the Scotchman's daughter, and who loves the girl himself. The engineer has played upon tno father's credulity. Ths old man hates the girl for he believes her mother was vntrue to him. He' is never tired of taunting her with that fact; moreover the girl's hair is gold en like her mother'.?, therefore tho girl he decides, 1 sure to prove a wanton. Ami wha.i tho engineer of fers to take her to Now York tv b cared for by his aged mother, who simply dotes on saving young souls. th Scotchman agrees on the spot. , Her Is where Jules Beaublen Inter feres and makes a quick escape to the woods with the girl and his trusty companion. Batiste, who was In love with Beaubien's sister, ana wno is naturally anxious to take a hand In any affair that promises vengeance on her betrayer. One in tha heart of the forest the girl suddenly discovers what love Is, but Is forced to draw away, while Jules make preparation to me:t tho engineer, whom h ex pects every minute. Then occurs the strong sensational seen of the play. One immediately preceding it. In which the figures of th lovers ar dimly disclosed tn th descending haze, are effectively and interestingly managed, and have qualities that create illusion. It is melodrama, but one gets at the same time, a sense of something better, a picture of a, group of people colorful with the gloss 'Of romance. "Th Wolf" will be presented with an exceptionally strong cast as the play demands. Mr. Andrew Robson will be the Jules Beaublen, and ha is aid, to make the French Canadian nanasom ana maniy mo reaas beautifully and forcibly, satisfies In fact, the eye an the ear, and creates character. others prominent in th cast ar Leola Palmer, . Alfred Swenson, A. Lamar, Louis Haines and William Burt. Seats bav been selling fast at Hawiey's, and a crowded house will be on hand to-night to se this great play. NORMAN HACKETT IS "CLASS- . vj. :fv MATES." . , Norman Hackett. who will b seen In "Classmates" at the Academy of Music, soon, is a great stickler for Pur English. Slang he abominates and all manner of adulteration of th English tongue he considers no leas than sacrilege. Speaking last sum mer to a number of representatives of the better dramatic schools of th country, then in convention in New Tork City, Mr. ; Hackett said : ' "I wish to make an appeal to you tor the uso of pure English, for I bellev. to us a common expression, that it 'up to tha dramatic schools and actors of America to preserve, if pos sible, th beautiful English language of onrs from ruination and degener acy for these paths it is rapidly go ing. . As it is the nature of our fellow Americans to hurry and to take what short cuts they can, so it is natural. presume, to carry these proclivities Into their daily speech. . But It Is a shame, an outrage, to hear the Eng lish language so often mutilated in these L'nited States, and as. the stag takes one of the highest places In the civilisation 'as an educator ttnd Influ ence, for better things, so I believe the stag capable of saving the purity and beauty of the English language in this country. If we actors and you teachers would only strive and striva constantly to keep up th standard by using pure, direct English: 11 w would be careful to enunciate each syllable, for they ar all of.lmpor- lanee, eiae iney wouia nu. ui jnere; If we would but try to give due promi nence to th words w usel They are th bricks thst make the structure of our part.- If we use tnem to ad vantage we erect a noble structure; if the ar slurred tne entire fabric of the play crumbles and falls.

Through his dealings with Shirley Rossmore, the clever authoress, Ryder was made to change his methods from thos of a tyrant to th loving man that h really was. Conditions had been In his business life about as 8hlrly tells him in one Of the many Intense scenes of the drama "he had never known nor al lowed the better teachings of a wo man to influence him in serious mat ters." As an organiser, Ryder's abili ty could not be questioned, for he prov ed to be a peer. This Is all remark able when it is considered that a play wright, even of Mr. Klein's remark able ability, should create a man with pen, who would, after being broughf to a stage-life, be looked upon as an objective point in th ambitions of so many publlo men of to-day. Henry B. Harris will offer "The Lion and the Mouse" with the usual good effect his masterful hand so eas ily accomplishes, at the Academy of Music shortly. AL. O. FIELD WRITING A BOOK. Al. Q. Field, thn ministrel man, Is writing a book, title not' decided on as yet. The book was begun under contract to a well-known publishing house. Mr. Field states the agree ment was he, Field, should write a book, subject matter to be of his own selection. Several chapters of ad vane matter were written and sent to th publishers. Objeotlon was made to some of the material, the publish ers desiring only humorous stories. It was their idea that a humorous book written by Mr. Field would be a good seller. Mr. Field referred the publishers to th clause In th con tract giving him the right to select xne matter for th book. The pub lishers wer insistent to book should deal with humor only and Field balk ed. However, the book will be writ ten, with Field his own Dublisher He announces that the book will deal with places and faces, men and things recollection of thirty five years of travel a little fun, som seriousness and many other things that may com 10 nis mina as tne Doolc progresses. wnen denning his reasons for not writing a humorous book Mr. Field said: "There was only thirteen original jo-.es. 1 nave xwistea, turned and re vamped the original thirteen so often in my profession I fear I could not produce original matter sufficient to Slve my book a respectful hearing or reading. CAMPAIGNING IN MISSOURI Barbecues and fish Fries the Order of the Day Senator stone Develop ins; an Astonishing; Appetite in His Canvans for He-election The Pic nics Free to All Comers and All umtoi-s Eating to win Votes. Jefferson City Dispatch. united Stales Senator William Joel Stone is covering himself with glory in tn home campaign and in a field pe culiarly his own. It Is not so much the profundity of his loglo or th ferocity of hi assaults 00 the octopus that causes the boys from the forks of ths creek to whoop things up for th Sen a tor In his effort to get back to the United States Senate, but his wonderful bpetit for country viands. Thar Is a smell of triad catfish con tinuously about his clothes. His hand kerchief Is always smeared with the remnant of pumpkin pie. and the odor of barbecued meats pervades th air about him. Until th present campaign ex Governor Dockets waa supposed to pos sess th most robust appstlt west ol 4b-j- Mississippi river, but ; Senator Stone seems now to be welt in the lead. Th Senator Is up against a hard fight, and he knows it. Governor Folk is after th same Job and is msking tne fight of his Uf. Th last Legislature passed a law empowering th voters of tb Stat to express their wish as to who should represent them in th United States Sen at at th approaching November elec tion, so it Is up to th candidates to do some pretty hard work with th voters. Then too It Is not certain by any means that th Democrat will carry Missouri this fall.r Th party ha an ugly family rumpus on Its hands over th nomination of ex-Congrassmsa W. S. Cowherd, of Kansas City, for Governor. This being th situation Senator Stone saw th desirability of devising some ef fective wsy of reaching th voters. Ths thought occurred to him of taking In as. its th Hon.' Tin Can Davis, of south many of th old-fashioned barbecues and j west Missouri, ton down their remarks Ash fries as posslel and developing such 1 considerable after they have stored away aa appetite for these eatables as would astonish the Stat and thus come up oa th blind Bid f Oovemor folk. R port fro m all over the Stat confirm th state ment that th Senator has succeeded" in developing sn astonishing hankering and capacity for picnic and barbecue feeds. At this Mason every year Missouri may be likened to a vast picnlo ground. Th savory smell of barbecued thoaC sheep and young beef greet th olfactory nerves of th wayfarer every plac h goes. If it Is not a barbecue It Is a fish fry or an old fashioned picnic. There ar plenty of ancient negroes la this Stat who know ail about th fin art of barbecuing meats. ' Tber Is a great abundance of food animals in th State, and no end to the fin fish that may b taken from th streams and lakes. What mlght'appea! to the avarice f some Is -the feet that these feeda ar free to all visitor. The farmers ran af ford to supply them.
