WEALTH IN SMALL COMPASS.

The concentration OF wealth wa.
never so fully exemplfied before il
the history of the world as in tn,
burning OF the Equitable building il
New York. The building itself stood
for q tremendously high value, and it.
destruction was heavy loss. Bu
that building. costly and valuable a'
ing compared with the enormous values
held within its walls and stored away
in its vaults. this wealth being put
considerably above a billion dollars As
the story goes, al the opening Of tbe
fire proof vaults where the contents
were found to be unharmcd, bank
official calmly took from one of tho
boxes $5,000,00O and carried it in q
small tin box under his arm up to an.
other place Of deposit. where he turned
il in. All this wealth was not, OF
course. in money, but was in securi.
ties easily negotiable. and at any day
lie could have got his full $4,000. 200
for the contents of that little box
which he thus coolly handled. Another
incident Nas. where small force of
men speedily removed securities
bonds, and cash to the amoun, OF
s31J 100000 from the same vaults.
And so il went on as the values we're
searched. the whole Of the great values
IN bonds and stocks. amounting to mp,
wards Of billion dollars were re.
moved and safely housed within few
hours after the opening Of the vaults
Such tremendous treasure as this in
20 compressed form and so essilv
handled was never known before in The
history or the world. The great treas
ures Of antiquity were in mass and in
bulk unwieldy as pig iron as com.
pared with this tremendous concentra.
ton OF wealth in easily portable forms.
In former times. even so much as
million dollars, il transported from ono
place TO another. would call for heavy
guards, and as the treasure grew above
that. full armies voull be called out
to guard II in it's transit. But. here
we have values in millions and hun.
dreds of millions Of dollars in such
form that men can take the represen-
tatlve OF that value up in their hands
and walk away with il all as coollv as
II they were merely carrying home
something for their dinner
IL was altogether striking exni.
oiiion, not only Of the tremendous
wealth concentrated in New York. but
OF the concentration of wealth itself in
essil, handled form.
