Some Astounding Figures.

Up to Saturday last, four days unprece-
dented boom in Wall Street had added nearly
half billion dollars to the value Of stocks:
the exact figures are $475 1888 1885, Beginning
on the day after the election the flood OF
money poured into Wall Street exceeded that
of any former period; It was a deluge of mon
ey that had been boarded during the several
months of the campaign, i, being clearly seen
that republican success meant boom. such
an increase in stock values has never been
eQualled before in Wall Street or in any
market in the world. What this rise means
to the actual owners of stocks in great cor
porations is strikingy illustrated by the case
of Mr.. John D. Rockefeller, who is commonly
reported to own outright 81 per cent, or
about $31 900 900 worth of the $1OO 900, 900
authorized capital stock of the Standard OIL
Go. The price OF that stock was $3.50 per
share (par 1907 last Monday. The price was
500 per ehare on Saturday noon. His 31o,
600 shares of Standard Oil stock were there.

1t is officially denied that Secretary
Root visit to Cuba has anything to do
with the Cuban Constitutional Conven-
ton, now sitting in Havana, although
it is official and will be utilized in Wis
iting sections Of the island not reached
by him when he was over there some
months ago. Many believe that Secre-
tary Root has gene to Cuba as the per
sonal represen tative of the President,
and that his report of existing condi-
tions will be an important factor in the
future attitude of this government to-
wsrd the island. Inasmuch as the work
of the Cuban Constitutional Conyention
will, if completed in time, be at once
submitted to Congress, it is not thought
that the Presidents annual message to
Congress will contain any important
Cuban recommendations.
