SMALL INVESTORS.
These Are Moat Attractive to Railway
Stock Holdings.
Investigation has proved that 450.000
is a very conservative estimate of the
number of people owning stock in
American railways. As the same con-
ditions and process of reasoning ap-
plies, only In a wider degree, to the
distribution of railway bonds. It followa
that. ownership in the capitalization of
American railways Is divided among at
least 9000.000 persons. Indeed, I have
every reason to believe that It a new
canvas were madc'it would appear that
the low price of all railway securities
during the past summer and autumn
has resulted in the most wholesome
distribution of railway ownership into
permbncnt keeping of thousands of In
vestors far beyond the frets anti fears
of Wall street. -
The president of one or our westem
trunk lines writes me: "Since your
letter '01 last spring asking lhI infor-
mation. I find that our number of
stockholders has Increased approxi-
mately 500. These are mostly small
stockholders of '100 shares or less.
principally less. ' l have no doubt this
has been the case with all the first
small investors." Another president
of one of our qwestcrn roads writes:
"The further distribution of our shares
in small lots ls going on rapidly."
And the transfer books of seven com-
panies included In my list up to Oct.
31 show 78.896 holders. against 64,580
previously reportetito me, an Increase
of H.315. or 32 per cent, in five months.
If the denreasldn In Wall street Is
having a like client on the distribution
or the stock In other rallawys the total
holdings must now number 537. 8. III. In-
