RAIL INVESTORS
To RETRIEVE
LOSSES
Jesse L. Livermore Predicts
Congress Win Aid Reccv-
cry Of Roads.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The So
600 900, 900 which he estimated Amerl-
can investors in railroad stocks lost
in the past fifteen years viii be re-
covered by them to a large extent
during the next year, Jesse l.. Liver
more predicted today. -
Iivermore is one of Wall Streets
most sensational stock spectators.
He declared the action Of the incom-
ing Congress concerning the rail-
roads would largely determine
whether the recent estimate by the
Department OF Agriculture that the
total income to farmers from crops
Just harvested would aggregate more
than 81 900, 100000 is realized.
'It has been very popular for sew.
eral years for certain politicians TO
lay the blame for the farmers mis-
fortunes on the poor railroads,
Livermore said.
1.-THE railroad investor, like the
wheat farmer, has had some severe
losses.
''The only difference is that the
wheat farmer has been losing for
three years, and the rail investor for
fifteen years.
Bears on the stock market and
tipsters predict Congress will do
something to the railroads. 1t seems
to me, on the other hand, Congress
will do something for the railroads
"It will do what z. e. Hartman,
the most far-sighted railroad leader,
tried to do in the days when the
railroad stocks were the favorites.
Congress is going to do all 1t can to
get the railroads to consolidate.
Therefore. l believe in 1894, there
| will be a restoration of confidence
| in the United States railroads"

HEAL THY BOND.
MARKET IS
ASSURED
Investment Banker Expects
Strong Demand Through
Winter Season.
BY MUNROE ROBERTS.
Copyright 1871. By Cosmopolitan

IS kNOWU
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-There Is
an abundance OF Investment funds
In the hands Of American investors
today and high grade, properly
priced bonds offered are assured q
good market reception according to
%. e. Quantrell, Of the investment
banking house Of Halsey, Stuart
ana Company. Quantrell declared
that while dealers seem conservae
tive in their commitments on new
security issues, basic conditions
market through the winter.
THE six months period between
March and September he SAID,
will be remembered as one OF the
most unfavorable bond periods in
the last twenty years. IL was q
case OF long steady grind for the
bond dealers and bond statesmen,
when results were nieagre and the
market unresponsiye. Errors In
price fixing may have been partly
responsible for these conditions.
THE great demand for the new
railroad and public utility issues
offered in the market since the
middle of October shows the power
OF the investment market under
proper conditions
The four cardinal principles Of q
sound investment policy formulated
by the Halsey, Stuart Company are:
/. Invest savings promptly don't
wait for a more favorable OPP
portunity or chance to "hit the
bottom" on new or listed issues.
2. Buy for safety and income, not
for profit.naking This point
emphasizes the main contrast be-
tween Investment and speculation.
The speculator Is concerned only,
with fluctuations, while the investor
looks for stability in quotations and
values. nv
s. Disregard minor price fluctua-
lions which are the result Of
changing money markets and
external Influences rather than in
side factors affecting the real value
Of the security.
4. Reinvest your bond interest.
without reinvestment OF interest,
invested funds never increase; but
with sympathetic investment the
principal win double itself at per
cent in fourteen years, at 6 per
cent in twelve years and ut per
cent in ten years.

stocks occupied the center Of the
stage in the first two hours trad
ing on the stock exchange today.
Both high class and non-dividend
payers were affected by a we'll
defined buying movement which
carried prices at an average of a
point above yesterdays closing
levels. Buying was based on the
belief that the, highly favorable
character Of October statements
thus far issued presaged the pub
iication Of large batch Of en-
couraging earning reports in the
next few days. The statement by
Jesse Livernore that investors m
railway stocks would recoup part of

the last ten years fitted in with the
generally bullish feeling. chesa-

lagos. In fact, this uncommon

Of many wagers, and he had &C.

One night, in the village inn,
George was backed to eat a whole

that the feat should take place
on the premises.
The next evening excitement
ran high. Old Georges hackers
and opponents watched with
growing wonder as he steadily
ate his way through the goose.
When the feat was accomplished
the champion was escorted home
in triumph by his jubilant back
ers. Just before reaching his cot
tage he stopped and addressed
his friends:
