THE FULL ANNOUNCEMENT in another column
OF the situation and prospects Of the New York
and Liverpool Petroleum Company, of which
the Hon. Daniel 5. Dickinson Is president, suf-
ficiently shows how firmly 1t has already es-
tablished its prosperity. There is something
peculiarly business-like and satisfactory in its
plan of making Its whole capital a working
capital. This feature promises ample means
for vigorous operations and prevents the dan
ger of keeping too much Of subscriptions dead
in the hands Of a few parties. The advantages
offered by this company are at least unsur-
passed by any Of those now in the field OF in
Vestment.
