wos q, $50, 900. payable in % years, with
interest thereon payable semi-annually.
The deal is one of the largest ever con-
cluded in Pittsbure, and it signifies that
the Pennsylvania has absolutely determ-
ined upon warehouses at the Point
and an elevated railroad to them as
necessity that will be met some time.

A New FORK statistician has figured up
that the difference.in ths present mar
ket price of all the securities dealt in in
the Stock Exchanges and ths same val
uation of year ago amounts to about
three billion dollars. Therefore, he
says. the country has lost that snm.
This is a common way of stating what
seems to be true, but what is manifest
ly false if once it is analyzed. 1t is not
true that the value of all the securities
Of corporation is equal to the total
number Of shares multiplied by the
price per share at. the last quotation.
They could not all be sold for a price
approaching this, and they could not be
bought for such price.
