These losses, moreover, are computed at the
closing prices of Monday and of 1888, though
in many cases lower prices have since been
made. The average decline in these is about
SO Der cent of their par value. Other stocks
listed on the Exchange have declined on the
whole relatively about as much, for in the list
above given are some of the sOundest and best
dividend payers in the country, as well as others
that represent collapsed expectations. The
nominal value of all railway stocks in the
country is about three times that of the COM
panies quoted. and the decline in value since
July, 1881, has been probably not less than
81 900 100000. In addition, these great cor
porations have n still larger amount OF bonds
outstanding, though the decline in these has
not been on the whole as great. If it has been
less than half as grcat-and this is apparently
safe estimate, Judging from such securities a.
are quoted-the apparent loss in the valuation
of securities within two years and half has
been over 1900, 100000.
The question naturally arises whether il is
reasonable to look for a greater decline than
ills. These securities represent a vast and val
liable property, which is performing for the
country every year a service that couldnot have
been performed by ancient modes Of transpOr-
taton at any cost, prior to the building of rail
rosLs. 1t has become a necessary part OF the
entire commerce and industry of the nation,
and the service rendered by railroads, if il were
possible at all by horse or canal methods, would
cost every year more than the whole present
value of all railroad stocks and bonds The
securities represent too, an enormous earning
power, and the railroad system Is even now
earning more than it has ever earned before
Sagacious men, in view of these facts, must pres
