ONE MARKET OPINION.

Price, Mccormick a. Co.. Of New YORK yes
terday sent some advices TO Weeden, Kendall
a. Co.. IL Exchange street, that are of particu-
lar Importance TO spectators in the present
state of the market. The letter is long one,
of which the following is the resume:
After treating OF the phenomenal railway
development of the past 80 years and showing
that nearly all the great fortunes have been
made in that kind Of speculation, they call at
tention to the fact that the total par value Of
the securities stocks and bonds issued by the
railroads operating in the United States is
sll 24l ,569. .65S, or about one-thrd OF the coun-
try's accumulated wealth, statements which
prove how close is the relation between the
prosperity of the nation, for all forms Of com
mercial activity minister TO their profit and
every commercial disaster must in some way
reduce their revenue
1t is the opinion Of Price, Mccormick g. Co.
that in many respects the present situation
offers opportunities as attractive as any in our
financial history. In 1850 Lake shore sol at
s5 il is now $40; in 1865 New Haven sold at
s95, now si55; Lackawanna sold at $36 in 1877,
now about si54; Northwestern is now nearly
slOs-in 1877 it was SIS; ST. Paul was sll in
1877 and Jersey Central was se-ioday the
gard TO this they say: There arc number
of low w-priced stocks. many Of which represent
equities in recently reorganized properties,
that are selling at prices that are very low.
Few people appreciate what the annual incre-
ment in the population OF the United States
means, but with any business revival the con-
stunning power of the nation will be immedi-
ately demonstrated in the earnings of the rail
ways, and these low-priced stocks, in our
opinion. will enjoy the greatest advance"
The list of attractive securities Is as fol-
lows: Atchison common; Erie; Missouri,
Kansas & Texas; Northern Pacifc common; /;
Union Pacific; Tex Pacific; Southern, common; /;
u. p, Denver Il Gulf: 1T. Louis & ;. f.. On
tsrio g. Western; Panhandle; Southern Pa
cifc: Chesapeake g. Ohio; Iowa Central; Nor
folk & Western: Wabash, and Peoria g. f. l.
While the buying of any one of these stocks
singly is not recommended, the opinion is ex-
pressed that any investor who will purchase
even 10 or 20 shares OF each ''will have made
an investment which represents the minimum
of risk and the widest possible distribution Of
this risk, and offers ON the other hand an ex-
ceptional opportunity for profit"
