are favorable just now for the

Foreigners Lose Confidence.
The principal victims were thrifty
Frenchmen who believed that Amer
lean railroad securities furnished a
safe and profitable Investment for
their savings. When they discovered
their mistake they set up an awful
roar and promptly dumped their
holdings on the market without
much regard to the prices they could
secure. They did not stop when
they were rid of the water-logged
Rock Island stock, but they insisted
on selling the paper of other Ameri-
can roads and allied enterprises.
The deluge swamped Wall Street
and led to tremendous exports of
gold. It is hard to estimate the
damage done to American credit by
this one transaction, but ii is safe to
