Cold Storage In Europe.

Many of the European cities are fol.
lowing the example of America as re-
CARDS cold storage plants. Paris is
one of the centers where such ques-
lions are now being promoted, and
the Refrigeration society is endeavor-
ing to bring such questions before en-.
gineers and manufacturers. Not long
since there has been built large
cold storage plant in the suburbs Of
Paris and lying on the North Rail-
road. It is designed to store home
products which are to be exported as
we'll as foreign products brought in by
rail to be consumed in the city. There
are now eleven cold storage chambers
in operation. A convenient system
is the use OF an automobile wagon
with freezing compartments which
plies between the city and the stor-
age-house.- It carries the products to
the sellers in town. and also takes
back the unsold products for storage.

to keep all islands bearing one date

such canvass has been made. AS a
general rule It may be said that the
date now in use upon most Of the diff

which results from the one carried
there by the European or American
colonists. and this date will presum-
ably come from the east or the west.
This is not true universally, however.

TIPS to Travellers.

Take a candle in your bag and a
box Of safety matches. When they
are wanted you will be glad they were
put in. The space required for them
Is small. A passenger on steamer
that was wrecked had small candle
which enabled her to collect some OF
her most valuable possessions when
the lights went out after the collision.
Garry a few pens in your bag II
you do not use fountain pen. You
will find that 1t is worth while, as the
pens provided at some hotels, and
other public places, are often so bad
that it is impossible to use them with
any satisfaction.

Curbstone Gossip in Wall Street
au PRESTON c. ADAM S.

NEW YORK, August IA study
of the shareholders list of the great
corporations of the country shows
some remarkable facts. In the first
place in the past ten years the num-
Der of shareholders in these corpora
lions has increased more than 200 per
cent.
The United States Steel Corpora
ton shows a phenomenal increase in
shareholders. From $4,000 sharehold-
ers in 1901, there was an incrase to
$4,000 in 1906. From 1895 to 1911
there has been an increase to 100000,
The increase from 1901 amounts to
275 per cent, and from 1906 to "a per
cent. The Steel Corporation has more
shareholders by far than any other
. corporation in existence today, and
the gain shows that investigation and
other political attacks have not
shaken the confidence of it's great
army of shareholders.
While increased capitalization ac'
counts to a large extent for the heavy
increase in the shareholders of sew
eral corporations, still companies
which have not increased their re
spective capital stocks show gains as
pronounced as those that have.
It is further shown that the major
ity of the stock in nearly all the great
corporations is held in lots of 100
SHARES or less. For instance, ]. Pier
pont Morgan is sometimes called the
great influence in the United States
Steel, International Harvester anC
other large corporations. Mr.. Morgan
commands a dominating POSITION, but
at the same time, more than eighty
per cent of the preferred and common
stock of the Steel Corporation are
owned by the people who are in no
way identified with the Steel Corpo
ration except as stockholders. II
other words, the actual owners of the
Steel Corporation are the so-calleC
small holders, and the people whC
possess 100 shares or less are far il
the majority. Mr.. Morgan and hi
associates and the directors of tn,
Steel Corporation are large holders
but their aggregate holdings are but q
drop in the bucket compared with tn,
total capitalization.
For all practical purposes, how
ever, the men who control these cor
porations might as we'll own the ma
iorlty of stock, for It is next to impos
sible for the real owners to act to
gether except through those in con
troll.

and in the West. Some idea of the
actual improvement can be gathered
from the extent to which the market
value of cotton and grain has fallen.
The betterment in agricultural condi-
lions has had much to do with main
tanning the confidence of our finan-
ciers in face of more than one dis
couraging developments at home and
abroad. Harvesting of 3,0O0,000,O0O
bushels of corn, more than 700, 100000
bushels of wheat and 14,5OO,000 bales
of cotton forms a strong foundation
for a security market.
Newspapers in several large west
ern cities are claiming the existence
of combinations among members Of
the grocery trade to fix prices. One
report states that cooperative store
! Movement has ben started in Des
Moines to combat the alleged gro
Gerry trust" In that state the asso-
Citations have been singled out as the
points of attack. The secretary Of
the Retailers Association of Des
Moines has replied to a list of ten
questions put to him by one OF the
newspapers there covering the OBJ
jects and working methods of his or
ganization. The questions included
the following: DO you meet and fix
prices? Has your organization in
any manner attempted to prevent cut.
ting of prices by grocers, members of
your organization? Is it your policy
to work for uniform prices among the
grocers, or is that a matter to which
| you pay no attention."
A general denial to all these ques'
lions was made by the association S
secretary. The answer to the last
question was: I'VE do not and never
have attempted or advised uniform
prices, but we do advocate that re-
tailers handle only such goods as can
be sold at a legitimate and living
profit"
/ In Denver there are similar charges
that wholesalers and retailers are
working together to control prices,
The claim is that the leading whole.
salers meet each morning and fix
prices to charge to the retailers and
that violation of the agreement means

1t is difficult to credit such charges
in these days of antitrust activity
especially where the necessities Of
\ life are concerned. The western
trade, it is true, have made more
practical use of their organizations
but the Denver charges sound inn
] probable nevertheless. It is difficult
