How they have shrunken. The read CTS of this paper have viewed the finan- elal conditions as portrayed by the New
 York Stock Market during the past SIX months. with feelings of either joy or disgust, mostly the latter. Holders of gilt edge stocks have seen their holdings shrink in value from s2O to S6o per share, and to-day many peo- pie, if obliged to sell out, would be losers for more than half of their mon ey. There are not many investments that from year to year have a buying and selling value equal For 32 wears holders of the five per cent Trustee Bonds of the Middlesex Banking Com pany, have received the same for them at maturity as they paid for them, to- gether with interest regularly paid every six months.
