investing publi2 expects the broker
TO be a regular encyclopedia of IN
formation on every conceivable sub
ject. Where the investor formerly
either took somebody, advice or act
ed on his own initiative he now de-
mands information before investing
nm many points which a few years
ago would have hardly been consid-
cred as bearing on the subject at all.
In illustration of this new spirit,
G. c. Hamlin. writing in Moody S
Magazine, cites 2 striking example OF
the possible effect on railroad securi-
ties of a matter which the average
person would heretofore failed to-
connect with them, "A good illus

the Importance and because of the
general failure to understand its con-
nection with railroad securities Is
the proposal to remove the tariff and
raw sugar imported into this country
On the one hand we have the argu-
ment that the removal of the tariff
might work a saving to the consum-

mark the end of the sugar produc-

greatly increasing the yields of other
crops grown in rotation with it both

increased tariff as well as helping

industry would also tend to reduce
traffic. OF course the interest Of
The farmer in this matter is even
more important, but it affords a
striking illustration of the many

those familiar with existing ccndi-

in such record days. According TO
authorities Of New Lork's sociologi-
sal pecularities the aliens happiest
