survived the various ills that followed 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 millionaires 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 a decade ago. Be-
fore the panic of 1907 there were, perhaps, 5000
milionaires in New York. Now there are any.
where between 5000 and 10000
The advances in the value of securities in the
last two years have been almost incredible. There
probably than 100000 persons who are
stockholders of United States Steel In October,
1907, Steel Common was 21B; in February 1909,
it 41A this October 1t has been we'll above
80. The shares of the Pennsylvania railroad are
more widely distributed than any other transpor-
tation line, more than 10000 people being listed
on it's books of shareholders. Two years ago it
103; lately it 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 that is
specuated in most largely. Union Pacific COM
mon was 100 in 1907; this year it has been above
219 an increase of more than 100 per cent New
York Central, Southern Pacific, Baltimore & Ohio
thern, Standard Oil-practically all the stocks in
the long list of railways and industrials have ad
vanced from so to 100 or more per cent in value
since october, 1907.
Thousands of people who not spectators
and who are intoerant Of speculation have profit
ed enormously by this wonderful rise in prices
They are the who bought for investment
when the prices were low and who are now reap
ing the harvest. During the panic enormous
blocks of giltedge shares were thrown on the
markets when great spectators like Heinze and
Morse, and some others who were not so spectac
ular or daring. had to sacrifice anything and ev-
erything for ready money. Their holdings now are
scattered throughout the country and have been
tucked away in tens of thousands Of safes and
strong boxes.
While some of the new millionaires come from
the ranks Of those who were bargain hunters in
the days Of panic, most of the new plutocrats are
from the army OF spectators.
"A There are so many Of these new millionaires
that it would be impossible to list them all indi
