THE market value Of quotable bonds and

TIE market value Of quotable bonds and
stocks July /, 1881, was $5,664, All ,755. In
March last the same was $4,47s,951, ,574,
showing depreciation of S1,Is5 $40, ,1S1.
Between March and now the settling has
been steady, the average on the list daily
given In the Tribune being twenty points,
representing shrinkage, supposing there to
be but 20,OO0,0O0 s100-shares on the New
York Stock Exchange, of s400, ,0o0, 900. This
would make the total shrinkage in quotable
securities since July /, 1881, about 81, GEO..
OO0,000. One might think that this was
pretty full collapse Of the bubble, IL be
looked no further. But In the last issue of
his Railroad Manual Mr.. Poore estimates
that In the three years, 1880, 1881 and 1882,
railroad stocks and bonds were increased In
round numbers by s2,ooO, 600 900, with an
actual cash outlay of about 81. 600 900.
True, this includes the year 1880, but taking
the years 1881, 1882, 1883, the same state.
nent would be comparatively true. So that
while securities hare shrunk Sl,6o0 OOo. 900
In value, $1,000, ,00o, 900 Of new ones have
been added to the stock. Why Is 1t not a
fair calculation to say, then, that quotable
stocks and bonds are as great in aggregate
volume now rs they were on July i, 1881?
Abating the growth Of the country, and that
part Of the cash invested In new roads which
actually earn fair interest, 1t is . fair cal
culation. And Ii will be noticed that against
this abatement there Is . margin or balance
Of $500 600, 600 Of new securities over the
1hrinkage In the market value Of the whole
lot. This pressges foreclosures and receiv-
en, and The escape Of . great deal more
