much attectioa la the street as any
aba other thinsr.
Ite the r en eral belief that in
brinrins about the Frieoo-Sea board
Air Line deal there hat been accom
pliahed by ladirection what vat
touxht to be accomplished directly
ia the north vest through tht North

consolidation ot all the railroads of
tht section If not under one manage
ment, at least under managements
ao eloselT allied that they vili work
In thorough harmony and there will
be no chance lor tnroat cumog
competition, and that tbe, Southern
Sute from Mobile aad New Or-
Iaa&s to Cincinnati and Norfolk and
from the Mississippi rirer to the
Atlantic seaboard will be bottled up
as wss California when the Hunting
ton combination controlled all the
railroads to tht coast.
Now Morgan It la practical con
trol either by combination or direct
ownership of all the railroad tystemt
soath of the Potomac and east of tht
Mississippi and It in a fair way to
bring tht lines In tht southwest, be
yond tht Mississippi Into tht fold.
That Is the Wall street riew. and
it iMmi to be borne oat by tht facta.
Tht Seaboard Air Line at an inde-
Tvnnt rrstem hat lonz been a
menace to rates and hat on sereral
occasions been a thorn In the side of
thm Southern railway system with
which Mr. Moriran'a firm It tht con
trol Hn factor and with which It
came Into most direct competition.
Seyera timet efforts to get control
of It hart been made by Morgan,
but ther hare In the yatt been fa
tife. tha Richmond financier, J.
Skelton Williams, belieying he could
do better outside the combination
than in it, The situation in the
South hat been that summed ap by
a Wall street man who knows it
thoroughly: .
"Thit Southern combination now
Includes the Atlantio Coast Ldne,
Southern railway, the Seaboard Air
Line, the IoaisylUe aaanyiue ana
tht Frisco, and tht minor roaat
which are limply appendage ox the
great systems when they are nomi
nally independent.
The Illinois Central and uouia
roads art friendly. Thit meant
that tht railroad business in the
Soath from Texas to Virginia will
ran primarily In the Interest of the
railroads, at Mr. Morgan and hit
friends see it. The general In
terests of that section of the country
may or may &ot be served, accord
ing to how they jibe with Mr. Mor
gan's Ideas as to what la tht best In
terests of tht roads. If they ran la
parallel iinee well and good of the
coaatry, if not, well tht railroadt
wUl not surer, ins xacttnaimosi
It not all tht Southern States hart
commissions with power to. fix
maximum rates will perhapa
prevent any general raise in
freight rate, nominally, bat the
experts employed by the boatnern
rail way trust can find a hundred
ways of evading tha exactions of
the commissions and at they art
able to employ tht most astute
political manlpuiaton In tht various
States, there It little danger ot
advent legislation. One good result
which may follow the combination
It that rebate aad ditcrimlnationt
may bo dont away with because
there vill not bo tht tcramblt for
business which make inch things
advisable. If thit result follows it
will bo a good thing, both for tht
coaatry aad tht railroads.
The general impression in me
street it that the combination would
bo a Kood thing for tht railroads
aad this belief wat evidenced by the
better price for their aecaritle. T
