purely tentative, and there is much ground for
speculation in regard TO the conference which
the New York fnancier proposed. The pros
perty of the country together perhaps with a
scarcity Of actual money has rendered it al
most impossible to market railway stocks and
bonds in this country The people here can turn
for permanent investments at present Under
these conditions foreign investors must be
looked to to take the stocks and bonds which the
railways must issue in order to raise the funds
necessary to bring their equipment up TO the

called upon to handle,
And in connection with this the suggestion
is put forth that probably the recent Japanese

to foreigners. few Of whom clearly understand

exists within the several states power which.
