BY B. G. FORBES.

NEW YORK, Dec 3.-For the first
time in history American railroad and
industrial corporations have issued in
one year total of $4,000, 100000 new
bonds, stocks and notes.
Since January 1 the output has been
50, 013, $50, 600 an increase for the eleven
months of $279, ZOO, 900 over the total for
the whole of 1911. The final aggregate
for 1912 probably will be $500, 900, 900
above the previous high record-$1, 740, =
100000 in 1911.
Noyembers contribution, despite dear
money, reached 1924, 12S,000, or $120.-
$4,000 in excess of the same month
last year.
Maturing obligations, it should be
explained, have been very heavy, and
no small part of recent financing has
been applied to meet current and i'm
pending maturities The net addition
to the country's outstanding capital will
be very much less than $4,000 900, 600 for
the current year The short term notes
falling due before the end of 1913 alone
were $30O.000.00o.
Competition for new capital within
the next twelve months, both here and
in Europe, will be .keener than the
financial world has yet known. The
price of the sinews of industry can not
fail to go up.

NATIONS STILL "DO0RMEN'
Appellate Division Limits Their
Salary to $1,000.

The Appellate Division decided yester-
day against the police matrons' conten-
ton. expressed through the test case
OF Miss Adele d. Priess, that under the
law they were entitled to salary of
81 100 year.
The Supreme Court granted Miss Press
a peremptory writ of mandamus directing
the Police Commissioner to place her
name on the pay roll at Sl,40o year.
She set forth that the law placed the
NATIONS and the doormen on an equal
salary footing. But the 'doormen, who
received 81 900 a year. have been abolished
and are now patrolmen, who may now re-
Ceive up to 81. 100.
The matrons argued that their salaries
changed automatically when the law
made the change in the status of the
doormen. But the Appellate Division did
rot think that way and decided they We're
entitled to no more than $1,000 a year.
