The new methods and the new proi- ects are going through the test of fire to-day, and some of them are being consumed, asserts Charles A. Conant, in the Atlantic. The tests which weeded out the badly organized and incompetent of the early stock com panfes, which drove to the wall the wildcat" banks of ante-bellum days, and which wiped out dividends and stock rights in badly managed rail- ways, are now being applied to tho new forms of organization which have been the growth of the past decade. But the stronger and better organized of these new corr orations are likely to meet these trials without disaster or to modify their methods to conform to the teachings of experience until there remains to the financial world valuable residuum of new methods for giving fexibi1ity to capital and promoting it's transfer promptly and efficiently from the industries where it is not needed to those where it will render it's highest service.
