BIC Hoiders Of Bank Stock.

August Belmont, recently remarked
an old Wall street man, lis one OF the
largest holders of bank stock, and having
good opportunity Of learning values he
has made fine investments. He has been
in successful business for half century
and has made an immense fortune, and
yet you never see his name among real es-
tate buyers, nor is he fouLd in the rail-
road market On the other hand, being
banker himself, he knows that it pays
well, and he therefore puts his money in
this shape A few years ago the public was
astonished to learn that he owned half
million in one bank-this fact having
been revealed in the course of an investi-
cation, and 1t is now supposed that he
has several millions thus invested. Tho
Astors also hold heavy amounts of bank
stock. Old John Jacob who died forty
years ago. was one of the largest share
holders in the Bank of America and tho
Manhattan company, and the family has
been increasing this investment ever
since. The Havemeyers are large bank
stock owners. There are retired families
in this city which have lived on bank
dividends for half century, and the old
bank Of New York can give some figures
Of still greater antiquity.
On the other hand, A. L. Stewart, not
wlthstandlng his millions, held but little
bank stock, his preference being real es-
tate. One can very easily see the reason
Of this. Stewart was always watching
his clerks to keep them from stealing, and
he knew that bank clerks have en- equal
opportunity. His caution, therefore, led
him to invest in real estate Morgan, on
tho other hand. carried on business in
which thieving is impossible. and he got
SO ugcd to trusting clerks that he had no
suspicion Of bank troubles. Percy r.
Pyne, president of the City bank, is very
extensive owner of bank property. He
inherited his present Office from his father
in-law, the late Moses Taylor, who left
twenty millions. Taylor, like Morgan, In
CURED no risks from clerks, and therefore
was buyer of bank stocks. It viii bc
generally found that leading commercial
men naturally prefer bank shares. while
retail merchants, who have been long re-
quircd to watch their employees, invest In
real estate.-New York Mail and Express.

build q house on purpose and put an old
stove in it and agree net TO burn down
more than $4,000 worth Of property at
one time. Sleeping cars, by the way, are
fearfully and wonderfully named. There
is an impression abroad that these cars
were named by the various men who have
risen from the sleeping car employ TO a
residence in the Illinois penitentiary, and
that they selected such wonderful names
out ofa feeling Of sentiment toward societr.

THAT greatly depends upon the STU

To.day's buying would seem TO indl'
cate that there was some ioundalion iV'

showed manipulation. But 1t was nara

were content TO sit and watch the game
OF manipulation go on. For such amove,
