NOT CHEERFUL.

The man who at a wedding feast talks
of funerals is not popular. And the
predicter of panic in stock market
boom times is also not popular. But
there are funerals as we'll as feasts.
and panics as well as booms. The
United States Investor, which seems to
believe in the periodicity of panics is
Of the opinion that, as the panic of 1873
was followed by that of 1884, which
again was succeeded by that of 1898,
the panic Of the future is due to come
about 1908, and 1t Furthermore intimates
| that the huge industrial combinations
| that are now being formed are prepar-
| ing the way for this financial revulsion
| and are the organizations that are likely
to suffer worst when the storm over
takes them. 1t points out that since
the first of January 1898, there have
been industrial combinations formed in
this country having common stock
capital Of more than $1,200O00,O0O and a
preferred stock capital of nearly $780,
100000. OF this capital very consider
able part is water, the present replacea-
BILE value of the various industrial
plants representing probably not half
the amount for which they are capital
lied, the managers trusting to good luck
and their financial skill to earn divi-
dends on these inflated values. But or
CARNATIONS of this kind are struck and
wasted by a panic in much the same
way that a physical organiza ton that
has been undermined by dissipation is
struck down at the time of some terri
BILE contagion. Thus, in the panic of
1893, the National Cordage trust, which
had been formed on this extravagant
basis, had it's stock drop in one week
in May of that year from 61A to 1874,
and in the following August the stock
was selling at 81 a share. The General
Electric company was organized upon
a somewhat different basis, but it had
been greatly expanded, and, while in
the middle of the spring of '93 the stock
sold at $10O, in July of the same year
the sales were on the basis of $32 per
share.
OF course there will be panic when
the situation gets ripe, but nobody can
tell when it will come The financial
sky is pretty clear just now.
