Doubtless some of the stocks in the above list
have only speculative value, and had their high
quotations two years ago because the sanguine
managers made the most fattering predictions to
buyers who were ready in the boom of 1881 to pay
high price for almost anything called stock.
They have since learned by experience that the
stocks they have purchased are those of railways
which cannot earn dividends, and which, If they
have any value whatever, must be at some uncers
tain time in the future. But why should the prices
of the stocks of railways which pay dividends from
their earnings be worth less now than they were in
1881? There was time when it could be account
ed for ON the ground of contraction of the curren
cy;but since 1880 the volume of the currency has
been expanding rather than contracting. What,
then, is the cause. or the causes? The Financial
Chronicle, excellent authority, names three
classes of causes which affect the prices Of stooks
which are as follows: a. Some relating to the Sc
curities themselves; ~ others to the condition of
the large body of ordinary buyers ( still others to
the peculiar odor and suspicion real imaginary
which just now hangs about railroad management.
The building of closely competing lines to many
of the old systems during the past two years. maxi
ing incomes doubtful, and the recent issue of secur
tiles to a large amount on railroads formerly having
but few thousands of stock and bonds that they
now represent millions, are most prominent among
the first class of caases The reason why the large
class of those who have bought stocks in the past
have not done the past year is that they have not
been making sufficient money to enable them to do
50. ms Is the second cause But more important
than all other influences combined, in the opinion of
the Chronicle, is the want of confidence the part
of the public in railroad management. The trouble
here is that investors cannot find out about it, The
investor cannot accept the statement of some rail
road managers respecting their properties "The
truth is, says the Chronicle "that either fact
rumor connects most of our presidents with putting
up or putting down their own securities for their
own profit, of issuing or Withholding information,
and in some of giving false statements to
suit their purposes i'll the market" In these sng.
gestons may be found the reasons for the present
condition of the stock market. IF the public
confident respecting the value of railway lines that
ought to earn and do pay dividends there would be
all the investors that could be accommodated at
munerative prices. For instance the savings banks
are receiving very large deposits and their managers
are, in many cases, unable to find satisfactory in
yestments. II the more important railways like
the Gould and Vanderbilt systems, entirely
free from suspicion, there would be found to be
enough bona ide investors, even if there was lack
of those who are anxious to try their luck at stock
gambling-Boston journal.
