 One of the axioms of Wall street philosophy is, the public buys at the top and sells at the bottom. This axiom was shattered last year in the panic. It is undoubtedly still true that the public speculator, who trades on margin, is most bullish near the top of boom and most bearish near the bottom of a depression. There's psychological reason for this, But the small investor, with savings in the bank, has grown in financial wisdom in the past four years. He has learned that the coun- try, with it's enormous resources of natural wealth, comes out of every panic with greater latent possibili- ties; that when the skies are the darkest, then is the time to wager by wise investment that the country will live, and that this is the greatest commercial nation on earth, then is the time to convert stocks into money, writes Frank Fayant in the December Appleton's. Never before in history has there been seen such a spectacle of investors buying se- curities in panic as in 1907. Six teen of the leading railroads and in- dustries had 250,000 shareholders before the panic and 350,000 after the panic. A hundred thousand small investors, convinced that the country was sound and that the big corporations would weather the storm, took their money out of the banks and bought the shares of these sixteen companies. Nearly all the in- crease in the shareholders list since 1904 was made in this panic. The small investors stood aside in the boom of 1906 and patiently waited for the crash. When the crash came they deluged Wall street with buying orders. They poured their savings into the market when the rich specu- lators, who had failed to unload on the public at the top, were sweating blood" under their heavy burden of stocks Some of the most powerful speculators in the country very near ly reached the end of their resources in that panic. The small investors turned the tide.

While the gain in actual business being added to booked tonnage or appearing upon mill schedules in the form of orders, is not of large pro- portions, the prospects of the iron and steel market are gradually brightening, says a trade paper. The improvement that is overspreading the market is moving slowly and in an assured manner, but it is wholly lacking in resemblance to the exag gerated reports of returning prosper ity which have been currently ex- plotted The outlook as to railroad buying is more encouraging and be- fore January 1 it is expected nego- tiations will be under way for at least 500,00O tons of standard rails for delivery to various trunk lines in 1909. There is moderate but steady tendency toward the replen- ishment of depleted stocks of vari- ous iron and steel materials, held throughout the country. Irregular price conditions are disappearing. Pig iron is practically stationary at advanced prices, with a good tonnage moving, but the future strength of the present level is still problemati- cal. The quotations ruling in scrap, now regarded as abnormal under the present order of industrial affairs, continue to become more so and con- sumers are avoiding buying except only as absolute needs are forcing them to this position.

It is interesting to note that a re- cent advance in transmission voltage, by the placing in service of 110. 900 volt line in Michigan, is clear indi- cation of the rapid elimination of distance as an obstacle to electric cur rent service, says a writer in Engi- neering Magazine. The Bay County line in California transmits current POS miles with a voltage of SO,0O0; the Muskegon line above referred to employs voltage of 35 per cent greater, which, correspondingly ap- piled to distance, could make the

coast line 2sO miles long; and there is no doubt in my mind that the day Is not distant when 200, ,000 volts and 300 miles transmission will be en- tirely practicable, That long distance transmission however Is available only for correspondingly large out puts goes without saying, but It Is quite feasible to put the current out puts of number of successive plants along the same river on one trunk transmission line so that the power developed from considerable reach of a river may be transmitted over long distances. With the present
 price of copper, lines can be put up for $1,50O to S2,O00 per mile, and with proper balancing of voltage and current the transmission investment need not exceed $25 per kilowatt de- livered, making the annual charge due to transmission, including inter- est, maintenance. depreciation and operation, about $5 per kilowatt, or
 less than two-tenths of cent per kilowatt hour on 5000 hour service.
