STOCKS ARE HEALTHY
And the Present Financial Situation
" Is Xot So Bad as It Loots.
MATTHEW MARSHALL'S SIZE-UP.
He Thinta the Ehate-IJp at Berlin Shouldn't
Have Been Surprising.
AX EM) PDT TO THE SILTER AGITATION
rPFECIAl, TELIGEAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
New York, Nov. 13. Under the head of
"A Healthy Stock Market," Matthew
Marshall will gay in to-morrow's Sun :
The week ended on Saturday noon without
any event of real importance happening
since the previous Saturday to disturb the
city's financial tranquility. It is truo that
In order to supply the craving of some minds
fora new sensation the sellinpof" a compara
tively few shares of coal stocks was magni
fied into an indication of a mysterious im
pending calamity, and the prices of
the stocks implicated fell; but all
my Inquiries failed to discover
any facts in regard to them which
justified alarm, or even uneasiness. As I
said at the time of the passing of the
Missouri Pacific dividend. It is not necessary
to go Jar afield for explanations which,
naturallr, should be looked for close at
hand. Men have many motives for sellinjr
stocks be6lde either apprehension of dis
aster or a purpose to create it. They may
have in view new uses for their capital, or
they may desire to pocket profits, or they
may change their opinion of the future
earnings of their investments.
It is a proof of the frugality of the convic
tions upon which the ordinary operator acts
that they are so easily shattered by fictions
of the imagination, and this little scare over
the coal stocks is an additional argument,
if one was needed, against buying or selling
securities upon any grounds except those
reached after a thorough investigation of
facts. If a man has not confidence enough
In his own J adgment to hear with equanim
ity that some other man Is selling what ho
has bought, or is buying what he sells, ho
had better not undertake the operation at
all. In the present tase, supposing it to be
true, as alleged, that members of the Van
derbilt family have sold coal stocks, I can
not see that other hoi lers should sell like
nise. Still, as the old Long Wanders say,
"Some pork will boil that way."
Shocks to Financial Confidence.
Outside of New York financial confidence
has had one shock in the failures and sui
cides in Berlin, another in the political
financial troubles of Brazil and Chile.
Financially, our direct connection with
these places is neither so intimate nor so
extensive as to make their misfortunes im
mediately detrimental to ns. We feel their
eSects only at second hand, as it were,
through the general sympathy with each
other of all parts of the commercial world.
The catrastrophes at Berlin ought not to
have taken by surprise anyone who has
watched financial affairs there. Three
months ago I called attention to the depres
sion which prevailed in the Berlin Stock Ex
change, and there, as everywhere, anv such
depression, long continued, is sure to bring
to light hidden weakness, and precipitute
the ruin or houses not genuinely sound. It
was thus that our recent bank and trust
company failures were occasioned, and the
process must go on until all financial rotten
ness is exposed. As to the depression com
plained or here and tbo stagnation
in stock speculation which accompanies
it, lam far Irom reearding them as evils to
be deplored. On the contrary, it seems to
me that the market for stocks is as healthy
as could be desired by anybody who has a
regular business to attend to, and buys
stocks as they should be bought, only for
investment. The conditions which pre
vailed tw o years ago were not natural, nor
nere they rcallj-benefici.il. The Go em
inent s collecting from its citizens mill
ions of dollars annually in taxes and apply
ing them to buying np, in advance,
at enormous premiums, its still un
matured debt The result was a
superabundance of capital for investment, a
low rate of interest, high prices, and an irre
sistible temptation to embaik in all kinds of
speculative enterprises. Out of this feverish
atmosphere we have emerge 1 into one cooler
and les stimulating, but, at the same time,
one more conducive of the exercise of sober
sense ana sound judgment.
Present Tranquility Xot Unhealthy Torpor.
It may be only imbecility or eccentricity
on my part, but 1 contess that I cannot get
over my -Render at the.way in which many
peoplo that I know regard excited specula
tion as characteristic of a normal stock
market, and the present dull tranquility as
an unhealthy torpor. I can see as olainly
as they, and I do not refuse to " recog
nize the element of human nature
which delights in trying one's luck at
games of chance, and which, when it
exists to a little moie than the usual
extent, makes a man what is called a gamb
ler. But the encouragement of gambling is
not, at this day, regarded as desirable. We
long ago made public gambling a crime: e
have suppressed our own lotteries, and,
only last week, we held a mass meeting to
aid in the suppression of the lottery in Lou
isiana. In addition. i e have restiicted bet
ting on horse races to very narrow limits.
In the face of all this it is at least inconsist
ent to ticat gambling in stocks as essential
to prosperity and its decline as a calamity,
'lhe spirit of enterprise and adventure
which accompanies it, the bold launching
of schemes lor the development of the coun
try's material resouices, and the general
feeling of complacency which it generates,
are pleasant, indeed, and would bo desirable
were it not for the reaction, which, like the
blue Monday after a Sunday's bebauch, in
variably follows it. We had a saying when
lna !. schoolboy, "Sing before breakfast,
cry before supper," and the canny Scots
regard any violent ebullition of spirits as a
suio presage of misfortune or even death.
Why anyone should want to put an entire
community into this state of ominous ex
hilaration is what I cannot comprehend.
Money That the Brokers Slake.
I do not overlook the fact, either, that a
large number of very estimable citizens, in
addition to those who come out on the win
ning side of stock speculation, prosper more
when the business of the Stock exchange is
large than Ti hen it is smallest. There are
the brokers, many of whom are my personal
friends, antt for whom I have great affec
tion. They, naturally, make more money
when their customers operate freely than
when they aie timid and sparing in their
orders.
Then, there are the Jobbers of new secur
ities, who find business just now dreadfully
dull compared with what it was two years
ngo. Beside these a considerable class of
promoters of ne w undertakings are without
occupation when capitalists aie cautious
and cannot easily be led into furnishing the
money needed for the accomplishment of frl
inring schemes. The greater nmnber of all
these classes of gentlemen I view as I do
lawyers and doctors necessary up ton cer
tain limit, but beyond that, as thriving upon
the community's misfortunes. We do not
hail the advent of an epidemic because it
gives employment to unemployed doctors,
nor an era of litigation because It makes
work for idle lawyers; why should
we, then, view with pleasure the
crowding of stock brokers' offices, the
increase of new securities, and the multipli
cation of new schemes formaking money by
buying properties and selling them at
enormous advanceT So long as real solid
capital finds, as it docs now, every oppor-
mmiy ior souna ana prontaoio investment,
and so long as the development of the
country's resources is going on fast enough
to absorb all the surplus capital produced,
which Is the case at present, every reason
able man ought to be content.
Another hralthy fcatuie of financial
affairs, ns I view them, is the way in which
the Western farmers and Southern planters
are employing the proceeds ot their crops.
They have plenty to sell, and aresellinrttat
high prices, bnt they do not in consequence,
buy goods freely Bence. there is consider
able disappointment among thee who
looked for a large increase of the sales of
manufactured articles to the lucky agri
culturists. Farmers Everywhere Paying Their Debts.
Instead of spending tho money for such
things these favorites of providence ara
paying off their debts, and I hear tho most
extraordinary stories of the extent to which
the people of even so backward a State as
Kansas are canceling the mortgages on their
farms as the result of tho season's good
harvests, the first they have had for manv
years. While the lmmediato result is bad
lor trade, it Is a loundation for healthy
business in the future, and is, therefore, not
to bo deplored.
As a further consequence of this sobriety
in expenditure "by our fellow citizens of tbo
rural districts, the breadstuffs which they
'aie sending to Europe arc paid for, in a
much larger proportion, than we had a
right to expect, in gold. For the four
months ending October 31 our exports of
grain and fionr have amounted in value to
$101,155,156, against $35,93773 during the cor
responding period of 1S90. This is partially
offset by a decrease in the export value of
our cotton and onr mineral oil products, but
nut to the amount of mora than $23,000,000,
leaving us a net Increase on these three
classes of articles of nearly $30,000,000.
.Against this we hare already received $24,
000,000 of gold, with more undoubtedly to
come.
I am no gold worshiper, and havo no sup
erstitious pleasure in witnessing an increase
or our stock of the metal, bat I cannot help
giving due significance to that increase as
an indication of the course of trade. It
shows that we are taking our pay for onr
exports, cot In goods nor in securities, but
in cah, and it is, therefore, a healthy
symptom.
'Maintenance or the Gold Standard.
This large Inflow of gold, resulting as it
does from the sale of agricultural products,
seems also likely to put an end to the dis
quieting agitation in favor of silver, which
at one time seemed certain to end in the
adoption of an unlimited coinage measure
by the .approaching congress. While I do
not dread the establishment of a silver
standard in the place of gold, which would
be the outcome of unlimited silver coinage,
as an unmixed evil, I shall be glad to see the
agitation of the subject ended by the
maintenance of the gold stanaara.
What made silver so enticing to the
Western and Southwestern voters was the
promise it held out of higher prices for the
traits of their toil. Now that they are get
ting these higher prices in gold, they are not
so anxious for silver, and they will not in
sist upon it so strenuously against the
wishes of their Eastern fellowcitlrens. That
bone of contention is apparently buried for
the present.
Taking everything into consideration,
therefore, the business of the country Is in
a fairly satisfactory condition, and the
stock market, if it Is not as active as some
would like to see it, is none the less healthy.
Besides, a period of excitement is sure,
sooner or later, to follow the present calm,
so that those who delight in lively specula
tion have only to wait patiently for their
turn to come.
THEATEICAL 8CEAPS.
Fbascis Wilsos Intends to stay in yew
Tork at the Broadway Theater till next
May. At present "The Merry Monarch" is
drawing well, but it will b superseded soon
liy "The Lion Tamer,'- by J. Cheever Good
win and Bichard Stahl.
The Miltons, who were at the Fifth Avenue
Museum last week, are a very clever couple.
Gus Milton plays the sleigh bells better than
most folks, and his song and dance, "The
Old Man Ain't What He Used to Be," is sing
ularly pleasing and grotesque. Josle Milton
is mistress of several mnsical instruments
and has a tuneful soprano.
Miss Blanche Oswald, of this city, has
been praised by the New Tork papers for
her impersonation of Batty, the barmaid, in
"A Mile a Minute," a railway melodrama,
which will be seen here shortly. Miss Os
wald also took the leading role in the play
at short notice, owing to. the star's illness,
and for two weeks at Niblo's Theater, New
Tork, gave general satisfaction.
It seems rather strange to find the name of
Mr. M. C. Daly in what may be "termed a
"screaming comedy." Mr. Daly has usually
done work of a serious nature, and hi3 per
formance in "The Puritan's Daughter,"
is remembered as being a particularly strong
dramatic touch. However, those who have
seen Mr. Daly in the character of Ktrahaw,
in "Jane." state that it is a cameo in its
way and by far the best thing he has done.
Fhakk Daniels and "Little Puck" will be
the attraction following the Casino Opera
Company at the Duquesne Theater. There
are no better comedians in the way of broad
comedy than Daniels himself, but he has
recognized the wisdom of surrounding him
self with a company of exceptional merit, in
cluding that remarkable little actress Bessie
Sanson. The play this year abounds with
new songs, comical situations, effective
choruses, gorgeous costumes and pietty
scenery.
MAX&oiR Wilt, of the Grand, had a
full force of workmen busy from 12 o'olock
last night preparing the stage and or
chestra space for the reception of the scen
ery and to arrange space to seat the enor
mous orchestra which is coming with the
Juch Onera Company. The company car
ries over 40 musicians, including in their
orehesti a, beside the regular instruments
generally used, an ortran, piano and large
harp. An enormous wagon is alone required
to transfer their musical instruments from
railroad to theater.
Miss Louise Sylvestek, the well-known
character actress, retired from the "Jane"
Company at the conclusion of the Baltimore
engagement, owing to a previous arrange
ment made with Augustin Daly.to remain in
Xew York this winter asuuders'udv for Mrs.
Gilbert in that manager's stock company.
Miss Sylrester left "Jane" with reluctance,
and her place will bo taken by Miss Maggie
nolloway Fisher, wheso strong work with
Cora Tanner in "Alone in London," causes
her to be favorably remembered by theater
goois. This will be probably the only chance
in the cajt of Mr. Frohman's company this
