CONCERNING FOREIGN CAPITAL

CONCERNING FOREIGN CAPITAL.
The heavy purchases made in this
country by British syndieates, says a
New York writer on financial topics, has
no doubt aroused a great deal of appre-
hension, and with good reason. The
foothold which English and other foreign
capitalists are getting in the United
States bodies no good to any of our inter-
ests. Popular opinion is becoming alive
to the necessity of imposing restriction
upon this process of absorption, and no
doubt in due course of time some method
will be devised for checking it. The
highest estimate places recent invest
ments in the United States by British syn
dictates at $40, 900, 900 to $50 200 200
This is great deal of money. But what
trifle compared with the wealth of
this country or the amount of home capt.
tai? We turn out, at a rough guess,
$40 900 ,000 900 worth Of products yearly.
In the industries whose fruits are repre-
seuted by these figures how Insignificant
is the $40 900, 900 or $50, 900, 600 of Brit
ish gold. Again, it should be remem-
bered that this has long been a favorite
field Tor British investors, and that some
enterprises of great value and importance
to Americans owe large part of their
financial backing to foreigners. Thus,
for instance, it is said that about $780,
600 ZOO of the capital of the Pennsyl-
vsnia and Reading railroad companies is
in British hands. But, as the total capt.
talization of the two corporations Is
$500 900 600, the foreigners are very far
from having control. In the Erie, the
British capital is largely represented, and
at certain periods of the road IS history
the help obtained from this source has
really been its salvation. There is hardly
a new railroad launched in this country
the stock or bonds of which are not held
in England, and the total amount in
vested in these undertakings by the
British is put at $500, 600, 900 to $780,
600 900. AS this is less than one-tenth
the entire railroad capital of the coun-
try, the best paying part of which is
kept at home, there is comparatively lit
tie danger of our foreign friends appro-
priating them to their exclusive benefit.
In like manner 1t is comforting to be as
sured that the recent British investments
by syndicates do not represent one
twentieth the value of our manufacture
ing plants

Kangaroos to Be Imported.

We are assured on what seems good
authority that the project of importing
kangaroos into this country is seriously
entertained by several enthusiastic and
wealthy sportsmen Of the west. The ami
mails have been successfully acclimated
III England and France, and we are as
sured that there is no reason why they
should not thrive here The practical
extinction of the buffalo has left the
plains without any big game of impor-
lance, and experienced sportsmen declare
that hunting the kangaroo, as practiced
in Australia, is second in excitement
and interest only tokilling the buffalo.
The scheme is not without commercial
Importance. Kangaroo leather is very
valuable product, and the animals breed
rapidly. The promoters hope to be
privileged to introduce the new game at
the beginning Of the warm season in
Yellowstone park, and to insure them
for few years government protection
and immunity from senseless sports1nen.

The Supply of Wheat Falling Of.

The indications are that the dav of
heavy surplus production is fast waning.
Our wheat crop in 1874 was the mag
nificent total of 512, 100000 bushels. It
has not kept in that upper notch, and in
the year 1889 it figured maximum yield
OF $50, 500, 600 bushels. We have a greater
population by nearly 15,0OO,0O than a
decade ago, and the increase of home
consumption would necessitate a larger
yield and not a smaller 1t is not likely
that we can add very largely to the an
nual product. The wheat areas are fairly
occupied excepting those north of Wash
ington and the possible service of the
arid submountainou districts when sue
cessfully irrigated.
The Canadian wheat fields have an
enemy in Jack Frost, and some sections
Of the Dakotas are far from being like
the valley of the Nile. The fact is, we
are being fenced in, and in the matter of
food supply Except meats) we are not
likely to glut the markets of the world
with a surplus Of wheat, if, indeed, the
time does not soon come when we NAV
have to import to meet our deficit. Age
