"A table compiled by New York
paper gives ninety-two trusts formed
during 1898, and embracing every de-
partment Of industry. Their aggre-
gate capitalization is shown to be
s1,zs2. .749, 200, of which $957. .s57, 300 is
common stock and 1884, 4,791. 300 pre-
ferred. Their bonded Indebtedness will
increase the total to over 81 500, ,000.-
600. A few comparisons will enable
one to grasp the meaning Of this great
capital. The total value OF the United
States wheat crop Of 1896 is placed at
$310. .602, ,539-less than one-third of the
capital of the 1898 trusts. The value
Of all horses in the United States in
1897 was estimated at $452. .649. .396.
The value Of mineral products in 1896
was $623. ,2Ss; sheep in 1897. ss7.-
'020,942; mich cows In 1897, S369. .23s.-

this country is now about 1920 600 oO0
year. The total of wages paid in
the sugar refining industry is about
$1,000. .000-less than one six-hundredth
OF the new trust capital OF 1898.
