HENRY E. Prick A POWER In
FINANCE

New York, Dec. 1S.-When Henry
Clay Frick resigned the active man
agement of the Carnegie Steel COM
pany ten years ago it was reported
that he was to retire from business
and spend the remainder of his years
in the enjoyment of his ample for
tune. The report was far from cor
rect, as events soon proved
Tomorrow Mr.. Prick will cele-
brate his sixtieth birthday and, so
far as is known, he is still without
any intention of getting out of active
harness. There are few buster men
in New York today and fewer still
who WELD such a tremendous meas
ure of influence in the world of fl
nance.
great deal has been printed
about Mr.. Tricks achievements, his
marvellous success and his rise to
great power when he came to New
York in 1900, but it was not until
some years later that Wall street
seemed to wake up to the fact that
he was dominant influence in the
financial world
1t was just before his entry in the
directorate of the Reading Railroad
company that Mr.. Frick made his
name more famous and showed that
his power was second to none. Just
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1909-12-20

about this time Wall street was ex-
periencing panicky feeling. There
was a great bear movement on and
the attack was made principally
against Reading. For three days the
market was completely demoralized.
About noon of the third day there
came the first CLEAN of hope. Read
ing began to shoot upward on enor-
nous transactions. After the stock
had recovered all its previous losses
Wall street began to look around to
find out who was the power behind
the Reading throne. The news leak
ed out that it was Henry c.. Frick,
and that he had bought practically
every voting share of the stock. BY
the coup in Reading the financier
from Pittsburg was credited with
having increased his bank account
some eight millions.
During the past few years Mr.
Prick is understood to have added
largely to his holdings of Reading
company common. His influence, it
is said, is being exerted in favor Of
an increase in the Reading common
stock dividend. He is also credited
with some of the recent buying which
has helped to advance the Pennsyl-
vania group of stocks. He is be-
lieved to be the largest individual
holder of Pennsylvania stock.
