BY I. A. FLEMING.

The past week has been ono Of the
most trying to the investors OF the
United States. They have seen many
records wiped out in the fierce Iquida-
tons that have attended tho unfavorable
Russian and italian news-billions OF
dollars in values have been wiped out:
the effect of the unfavorable news has
been fully discounted. In some instances
much moro than discounted. and yet
tho same threat of further recessions
as a result Of untoward happenings still
hangs over Wall street
It takes nerve to buy stocks when no one
else cares to purchase them; nerve to
hang on when every one else is selling.
but It stands to reason that the current
low prices on many high-grade rail
road stocks and fndustrtals Is hardly
warranted from the standpoint OF abil-
ity to make and continue dividends.
While there may be some dividend
cutting, there will be no wholesale
slaughter OF dividends. The securities

shrinkage in the value Of Steel Cor

and q total shrinkage in all securities,

at nearly s10,000.0o0.000.
The chances are that these stocks Will
