Public Confidence) Has Boon Tested by Fall of Stocks nnd Subsequent JUso Wool Demonstrates tho Only Weak Point in tho Situation -Pig Iron and Wheat Aro Advancing. Failures of tho Week. New Yotk, Jan. 27. H. O.

Confidence In thi value, of wheat, torn and ootton bus been shown by the markets, nnd at ris ing pilces th" world bujn becotiT It hat to buy. The viiFt supply of unem ployed capital has boon shown Impres sively, ami tin- now and startling; in dependent o of foreign money mntkoti lUes attention.

Treasury re I'alpls nie gaining and a vote on tin' peaei? treaty has been lived for Feb. (1. The weak points In the situation may Inst be considered. Wool grows weak i r because forced by "peculation li ),nr ago tti pi Ice? whlih tho market for good could not sustain, and has been niude tnibariased In tr)lng to sustain eiiT since. Western bankers begin to advise speculative holders to ell. floods aie In much greater de mand because pilces falily proportion ed to the reduction of about 10 pr cent, since a year ago have been niac in Important openings. The sales of wool aie still small, manufacturers buying at Philadelphia where prices ate yielding rather than at Boston whole great efforts ute made tn sus tain them, but the movements for heavy wplghts is still disappointing and comparatively slow. Large orders lor light weights keep many woiks em ployed. Pales for the week have been 6.1(12,00 pounds and for four weeks 22,- J.R.L.CARRINGTON&CO.

We desire to call your attention to a conservative esti mate of the earnings of the Union Pacific Railway Company tor the year ending June 30, 1899. The amount as here shown is based on what we consider a most conservative basis, and we think can be assumed as being correct. The net surplus for the six months ending June 30, 1898, from the company's official returns, amounted to $2,243,342. The earnings from June 30, 1898, to June 30, 1899, we figure as follows : Gross Main line, officially reported, first year July 1 to Oct. :S1 , 1S11S ror two niontus, Aovemoer anil December, 1S)S, e.stj mated on basis of Oct., lHDS, which was $U,0(i!),()li() Total gross for last ( months Gross Estimated for 15 months ending taken same as for this period, Total gross, estimated fiscal year Dperating expenses and taxes for per cent, as against 01 per cent, months of 1SDS).

The pfd. s now selling around 8o, at which n ice. if the full a Der ;ent. dividend is paid, the return to the investor would be 5 per cent. On the interest returns of the other Western lines, based upon the present quotations, the price of U. P. Pfd. seems at least 15 per cent, too low. The common on its chances is certainly worth more than it is selling for, and aside from refunding and absorption stories, the present prices of the securities of thi company seem to us to be well worth their market quotations. We shall be happy to furnish list of securities returning from 4 to $ per cent, upon the investment. Particular atten tion given to the handling of speculative accounts. Private wires to Messrs.

Belief that dam aged cotton will cut down the vleld helps Increased demands for goods to raise prices for both. The receipts aro light though growers have seen a rlsu of over 1 cent per pound from the low est point tn tempt them, Goods havo risen on many grades, about 4 per cent, on reported qualities ngalnst CO per cent, on raw cotton, and the consulting demand Is strong. ADVANCE IN PIG IRON. Pig Iron has risen at Chicago because of higher freights from the South and at Pittsburg a shade for Uepfictner and grey forge because of growing de mand, but for the moment tho rise of .2 per cunt. In pig Is exceeded by the rise of 2.0 per cunt. In products. The pressure for mnny products Is such that the works aro able to make their own quotations and rails, bars at Pittsburg, and wire nails havo llghtlv advanced. The demand to heavy in all lines.
