There has been no change of consequences n pricea

some have slightly declined The interest is

.-,.s per cent while some OF the fancy
cent This shows the state of public confidence; and
similar state Of hings exists in Great Britain. The
London Chronicle in speaking of railway stocks,
says -" The panic which appears to possess the
holders of railway shares does not to be in the
least abated, but rather to have increased. 1t is
strange anomaly that government securities paying
much lower rate Of interet, and in opinion, less
safe should remain steadily at comparatively high
price, when at the same time railway shares yielding
six seven, and eight per cent should be so de-
pressed No one for moment doubt the
ultimate productiveness of the most deprecated
railroad property in this country, or the safety
as permanent investments, of those now paying
good dividends. Railroads much more proata-
ble investments in the United States than in Great
Britain or any part of Europe and those which
nav in tae present state Of population
must long before the country becomes as thickly
peopled as most of Europe be immensely productive
Their business is almost unlimited; and IS most o
them have been constructed at small cost their div
dends almost annually increase. Government and
State securities the other hand, are limited in
their dividends and their value as investments is IS
great one time another. 1t Is true, they do no t
fuctuate in value much railroad shares; but
there is no sounder basis for the security Of State
stocks than of railroad shares In our opinion private
credit and responsibility are at all times more de-
srable than public faith. We have had the value Of
each practically illustrated in this country, and in
fact in all parts of the world, and at all times and
under all circumstances, individual liability and pri
vate credit have proved vastly superior to that OF
| government.
