failed to add materially to their fortunes since the
panic. There some, it is true, who were more
or less disabled in those days. and the period that

ming back their lost money and prestige; some
who were in the Inflated trust companies, others
of the insurance crowd, and so on But those
who held on and were able to weather the storms
have been lifted up and now are richer than ever.
Not only that but large number of new groups
of great financial strength has been developed.
There is the Hawley group for instance, which
has made millions and millions in the rise in val
ues of railway shares. Edwin Hawley, the head
of this coterte, was not big Wall street figure
until within the last year or So but of late he has
added immeasurably to his wealth and to his pow
er as a transportation king
Among those of his friends who have climbed
into the chariot of the putocrats is Frank A. Van
derlip, the president of the National City bank.
He is reputed to have made more than million
out of Chesapeake & Ohio and Union Pacific.
When he was assistant secretary of the treasury
a few years ago Vanderlip was man of very
moderate means and lived in modest little fiat
in Washington. After he came to New York his
wealth increased somewhat but only since the
first of this year has he entered the millionaire
class.
Another of the Hawley group who is one of the
new crop of multi-millionaires is banker named
Scott, who piled up small fortune, dollar by dol
lar in Richmond, Va. and who has increased it
many fold of late In Wall street. Still another of
the same group is Robert Fleming. He was not
poor man when the rise in stocks began, but he is
said to be a very rich one now. Then there is a
new crop of Union Pacific millionaires, Southern
Pacific millionatres, Wabash, Rock Island and
many other groups OF new milionaires who have
become wealthy by the tremendous. upturn of the
shares they were interested In Some Of these
men were millionaires before the beginning of this
year: these have now moved I'm to the amultf-
millionaire class.
There are quite as many who have won for
tunes in the field Of industrial stocks especially in
United States Steel common. One of these-more
than millionaire when he began buying Steel
is Frank A. Munsey, the publisher. He is said to
have started his Steel purchases two years ago,
when the stock was around %, and to have accu-
INFLATED total of 100000 shares at very low
prices His winnings are estimated at more than
$5,O0O,0O0.
These instances, taken at random, give an indi-
cats"n Of the thousands Of fortunes that have

sprung up lately through the up.
ward sweep Of prices in Wall
street. Great corporations. like the
fire and the life insurance COM
panies, have also profited stupen-
dously. These tremendous reser-
voirs of money own huge blocks Of
shares in scores of railway and in
dustrial companies-lots of from
10000 shares to almost a control-
ling interest. The most of these
are sober, gilt-edged, dividend-pay-
ing stocks that have not been spec.
tacular in their advance In price as
compared with some of those that
have gone up like skyrockets. Yet
even these high,priced shares have
been enhanced in value from 20 to
SO per cent. in the last IL months.
They were bought at panic prices,
so the published records Of these
companies show, and these institu-
lions now are said to be selling
them off, cautiously and carefully
at the fancy figures that have been
prevailing of late. Unlike the In
dividual investor, they believe in
cashing in their winnings and salt
ing them down until there is an
other chance to buy cheap.
In the commodities there are new
groups of millionaires and multi
millionaires also. Some of these
have won their wealth in wheat,
others in corn, but most of them in

the secretary pored over the manu-

financial hopes and aspirations of those who had
survived the various ills that followed in the wake
of industrial over-eXpansion But since the panic
clouds have cleared away there has come another
and even more wonderful appreciation in values,
the most remarkable advance in the prices of all
commodities and securities that this country has
ever known. Probably more mionaires have been
made in the last IL months by the steadily rising
tide OF tremendous prosperity than history ever
has recorded in similar period of time. The
number of those who have grown rich quickly is
greater, probably than it was in the time of mer
ger and consolidation nearly decade ago. Be-
fore the panic of 1907 there were, perhaps, 5000
millionaires in New York. Now there are any

more widely distributed than any other transpor-
tation line, more than 10000 people being listed
on its books of shareholders. Two years ago 1T
was 1903; lately 1t has been above $50. Union Pa
cifc is next to Pennsylvania in the length of its
stockholders list. 1t is not only of the most
popular investment securities, but also one that is
specialized in most largely Union Pacific COM

Thousands of people who are not spectators
and who are intolerant of speculation have profit
ed enormously by this wonderful rise in prices.

when the prices were low and who are reap
ing the harvest. During the panic enormous

prominence because it was discovered
suddenly that it had more millionaires

spot on earth. In New York all sorts
of people achieved fortunes, paper or
