Stocks continue t9soar on the New
York exchange. and the most expert
enced operators in >"the street. are
chary as TO making predictions about

some of the leading securities had al
ready reached the top notch, but Athe
Astounding prosperity has given the
market a strength, stability and buoy
ancy which argue still better prices for
the best classes of stocks.
And it is to be observed that this
prosperity. which has made us a
creditor instead of debtor nation. is
shared by others than Americans.
Enormous amounts of foreign capital
are invested in American enterprises.
and capitalists in London, Paris Ber-
lin and other European centers will
find their Golfers greatly enriched by
the dividends to be distributed at the
end of the year. It is also worth recall
ing that a number of the crowned heads
of the old world as well as others Of
note and prominence have made in
vestments here. The car Of Russia.
the German kaiser. the kings Of italy.
Belgium and other European countries.
as well as Kruger, the eX-head Of the
extinct South African republic, have
large sums of money in some cases
well up into the millions. in railroad
bonds or stocks and other kinds Of
American properties 1t is estimated
that the January dividends to be dis
tributed i'm New York alone will amount
70 S17j0OO.OO and much of this will
be credited 20 the royal and other in
vestors mentioned
II is a curious circumstance that the
unexampied prosperity Of our American
republic, fostered by the principles
and policies which the republican party
favors. should bring profit to some OF
the most autocratic rulers in the
world. They find the United States
he safest place in which to put their
'pare change 10 use. But their 1ivi-
bends will not all be carried ont OF the
country. The money will be largely
reinvested ia promising and paying en-
terprisas. and so continue &c work ben
Eft not merely for the lucky recipien Is
but for those TO whom these industries
and undertakings furnish employment
and gcoC pay.
So il appears that the United States.

before equaled. is becoming not only n
