all he has to do is to shut the door,

ARTHUR E. sTILLWELL
Take of Financial Sentiment Abroad
This Country Losing Millions, Ar
gentina Coming for a Large Share.

New York, August 4-Having placed
SIS, ooo,ooo in bonds with English inves-
tors, Arthur E. Stillwell, president of
the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient
Railway, returned today on board the
Rotterdam of the Holland-American
line.
He made a tour of Europe after the
placing of the 100000 bond issue and
felt the pulse of investors there. While
he is cheerful and hopeful over the flu
ture of American securities abroad, he
declared that this country was losing
millions of dollars of the money of Ell
ropean investors because of the uncer-
tainty of conditions here. Money that
would ordinarily come into the market
here through the buying of Our stocks
and bonds is finding its way into South
American countries, particularly Argen-
tina
''The investor seems afraid of condi-
tons here" he continued. mo one
seems to know what is going to happen
next. There have been so many changes
in the laws, so many investigations, that
the European investors have become
wary"
''The charge has been made here that
there has been too much politics. he
was told.
Il guess that's part of the trouble" he
replied, because there is no denying
that this is wonderful country, great
portion of it being undeveloped, especial
ly to the great Southwest
''The railroads will have to be given
encouragement, however, to go ahead.
For the railroad is the agent of pros
perity, and development goes with it.
Give the railroads a chance to make
good rates, so that their earnings will
be ample to pay the investors, and this
country will see the greatest prosperity
is has ever known I think I can say
without contradiction that the railroad
companies in the United States are pre-
pared to spend $5oo,ooo,ooo in the next
ten years, if the officials of the railroads
are satisfied that they will not be held
back by legislation that is founded on
agitation, rather than on good sound
law"
The bonds Mr.. Sti11well sold in Eng
land are the Kansas City, Mexico and
Orient Railways first mortgage, fifty
year gold four per cent bonds. This
railroad will when completed, run be-
tween Kansas City and Tooplobambo,
Mexico, on the Gulf of California, a
distance of 1859 miles
