Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Jauary 2o.-That 1895
was a year Of extraordinary growth
for Massachusetts Investors Trust,
the largest of the Boston-type invest
ment trusts. is revealed in the annual
report Just issued.
Starting the 1885 calendar year
with net assets Of $30,809, ,648, the
trust ended the year with net assets
of $7s.l71.412.
OF this increase $33,023,473 repre-
sented the net proceeds Of new
shares Of the trust and $l4,33S, ,29l
resulted from appreciation In market
value OF the assets.
Shares Are Increased.
The number Of shares outstanding
increased from 1,63S,460 at the end
of 1884 to 3.253,374 on December 81,
last, and the number Of shareholders
grew during the same period from
20.687 to 1882. Per share asset

Prosperity Foreseen.
Commenting on the general outlook,
the trustees state that barring some
calamity. such as a European war, the
trend of present markets seems to in
dicate that the United States Is
headed into an era of greater pros
perity that it has enjoyed in recent
years. Monetary imitation. resulting
from large Federal spending made
necessary by the depression, should
not be regarded as beyond the realm
of possibility, the trustees state, and
for this reason an appreciable amount
of carefully selected gold mining stocks
Is being held by the. trust.
Another field In which holdings of
the trust were materially increased
during the year was that OF public
utilities. Between April / and July /
the trust invested 81 2,656,89l in sound
operating companies and in holding
companies in strong position. This in
vestment shows an average return Of
5.8 per cent and a market apprecia-
ton Of $955,8 or 36.l per cent.
