QUAKER CITY SUCKERS AS A TYPE Drop Good Momey Am: ng to M o in Various Speculative % — Booms that Did Not Pan Out. Bhallow caricaturists and comic prints diligently convey the impression that the country man s the only one of the tribe who will jump at a “gold brick.” So com- mon is this impression that the unthinking regard the city man as altogether t0o sharp and smooth to be taken in by any shaky proposition. In the lmterest of truth, firmed by daily experience, the impression should be reversed and the country man glven credit for at least biting a silver plece to determine its genuineness. The average city man with means at hand is ever looking for a good thing. What is more, he thinks he knows a good thing when he sees it. Of this class there are uncounted thousands in Philadelphia, which 1s cited as a type of the average city man throughout the country. The gold brick tribe of the Quaker city have been brought into speclal prominence by reason of thelr investments in the Soo bubble. It is but & small part of $500,000,000 lost in various speculative bubbles within four years. The size and character of the “gold bricks handed the Philadelphians are detafled by the Public Ledger as follows: Looking back over the developments which have occurred in the financial dis- trict within the last four years, one won- ders where the money comes from to trans- t the ordinary business of the city, so normous have been the shrinkages which have fallen upon the community. To place their aggregate at $400,000,000 to $500,000,000 would be no exaggeration. Fully a half of this sum can be accounted for. and that, too, without going outside of what 18 known as “the local securities.”” The Consolidated Lake Superior collapse will alone account for $48,15,687. The bursting of the Asphalt bubble carried with It $31,803,02 more. Over 325,000,000 disappeared in the break of the Electric Storage Battery stocks, the com- mon from 194 to 50, the preferred from 198 to 62. The decline in Philadelphia Company cost the community another $11,000,000, and more than $5,000,000 has disappeared in the break in Philadelphia Electric. To these figures must be added many millions more in the “littie” steel stocks, in the indus- trials other than steels, and, fially, some more millions in certain traction stocks. Not a Proud Record. It is a record of which this city cannot be proud, and yet the ruin it has wrought 1s not apparent in the business comunity. There have been few failures as a result of the speculative craze which swept over the city and spread with ever-increasing rap- 1dity to towns and cities within a radius of 200 miles of Philadelphia. No large com- merclal house has been forced to the wall because of this speculation. Not a single banking institution in the city has becn forced to close its doors. The “boom" yeat in Philadelphia was 18%. But the promoting period began a year before—late in 1898. The stocks which were amongst the earliest to be floated were the electric transportation Issues. Hardly a week passed without bringing to the front some concern that was identifled with this new Industry. One week it was the Electric Vehicle com- pany, then the Pennsylvania Elec- trical Vehicle company. These were followed by the New York, the New Eng- land and the Illinols Electric Vehicle Transportation companies—concerns that were to displace the horse for this new method of transportation. They were more successful stock marketwise than com- merclally. The public took the halt read- ily, for it had been offered to them in a most tempting manner—$§ down, the bal- ance in installments, ‘if you dldn't succeed f in unloading at a handsome profit in the Military avenue lying between the west clty limits and the end of the present pav- meantime. Philadelphia took the bait ing will be received by the Board of Park | and hook. It bought everything that had the label “electric vehicle transportation™ attached to it. Electric Vehicle was at one time in such urgent demand that the common was lifted to 160, the preferred to 183. It Is almost a shame to give the present quotations, but the common Is worth about 4 and the pre- ferred 6. The Steel Stock Ora: The next wave of premoting ideas which came along was the steel stocks. New York already had the fever; so had Pltts- burg, and Philadelphia did not want to be beohind In the procession.

Marsden, among the first of this group to be floated, s struggling along, only a partial commerclal success. | International smokeless powder is a going concern, earning largely, and paying divi- dends to its preferred stockholders. Elec- tric Storage Battery had to undergo par- tlal reorganization, and when control passed to the Ryan-Whitney-Widener- Blkins interests it became a highly success- ful concern and is today earning as much on its capital as probably any industrial concern in the country of similar size. The Cotton Ofl and Fibre company came out in 19%, but the Stock exchange records show only a single sale each of Its com- mon and preferr& stocks. The Eastern Milling and Export company, organized in 191, Is now In recelver's hands. Its stocks were never dealt in and the bonds only quoted twice at the exchange. The Key- stone Watch Case company is also a prod- uct of 1899, but it is a successful concern, and the last prices of its stocks are higher now than when first they sold. The Lehigh Valley Traction company, organised in the same year, i3 in the hands of receivers, while Keystone Telephone's securities have only recently been listed on the Stock ex- change, no quotation having yet been made for the preferred stock. The Pottsville Unlon Traction company, an 1899 concern, is in operation, but not making much more than expenses, according to last year's re- port. The Consumers' Brewing has passed through a receivership and reorganization. The official lists of the Stock exchange show*that in 1899 close to halt a hundred companies were floated In Philadelphia. Of the total it has been posible to obtain reliable information of thirty-five, and | twenty-eight of these became more or less prominent in stock exchange circles. The | speculation of that year (136) carrled prices to very high figures, while the sub- sequent collapse entailed losses AggTega- ting no less than $74,824,080. Enormous as this shrinkage is, 1t is not as large as that of sixteen companies organized prior to 159, and only slightly more than the | shrinkage In the value of the stocks of the nine companies floated here since the “boom" year.

The Diamond State Steel com- | yorrs he o s which the United Gas Improvement com- pany has made lately, it is almost impos- sible to figure out a fair shrinkage in the value of the stock. In 158, however, the amount of stock lssued was $14,961,20. In that year the price advanced to 17, its highest on record. Last week it sold as low as 8%, an apparent shrinkage of $28,013,812, less the value of the “rights” to new stock issues. The present capital, on the other hand, is over $36,000,000, and there has been'a big break in the price since the last stock allotment was made. Philadelphia’s misfortunes do not end with the shrinkage in the purely “local” fssues. If it were possible to complie a list of holdings other than local stocks, and then figure out the shrinkage in them, it is quite likely the total shrinkage given above—$224,923.319 —would be duplicated. The local losses in United States Steel and International Mercantile Marine have been larg: They were as large in Chicago street rallway stocks, like North and West Chi- merits would doubtless repay investigation. He say - “On the subject of “the papaw (called oleti in Fiji and esi in S8amoa), 1 will con- fine myselt to' remarking certain properties which are worthy of the attention «f our chemists. It is agreed that this fruit con- | tuins a very strong ingredient similar to pepsin. One can be nourished by it alone 1or whole day together without any detri- ment to the human system. Further, it food the hardest and most indigestible, is put Into water in which a half ripe papaw has been svaked, the improvement pro- duced is surprising; these same meats be- come perfectly tender and easy of diges- tion. Kven washing the food with the Juice of this fruit will produce the same same result. All animals delight in the papaw; horscs and milch cows willingly feed on it; dogs and even cats are fond of it." He continued: “Another fruit which will be highly esteemed in the future, is the dilo nut (calophyllum inophylium). The oil extracted in the best remedy known to the Fijans for sprains and rheumatism. Cap- tain Winkler mentions cases of almost in- stantaneous \cures which have been wrought by it upon sallors. This wonderful oil is used for various purpuses by the Fijans. It is principally employed to anoint their bodies and polish their arms. It does not congeal when taken to the coldest climate; a few drops of it alone poured into a barrel of oil-of-cocoa are sufficient to color it green. Hence the oll of the d:lo nut becomes a most lucrative article of com- merce. A short time ago the Wesleyan ministers in Fiji, having obtained from thelr flocks the usual contributions, were not a little pleased to be able to state that several tons of this oil had been added by some grateful chief. Do you know what they made of 1t? Well, the first chemist of Sydney who heard about it, presented him- seif and offered $200 a ton. Even at that price he realized emormous profit, for the real price of this oll among connolsseurs runs up to $450. Here ls & vast and secure fleld for the investigations of foreign chemists, I would also say the same for the medicine called ‘“Tongs,’ which the English houses of commerce already culti- vate for the relief of neuralgia.'" 1 would like to ask if any of your readers know anything about these Polynesian fruits? Have we anything equivolent to these in this country? Have any of our chemists ever investigated the virtues of these foreign products? Ingsmuch as this missionary priest is not exploiting any com- mercial enterprise, but merely narrating what he has seen and heard, he is not likely to exaggerate the value of those re- mote productions, which could no doubt be raised In the United States as well as in the Fijl islands. It is just in about the same way that the properties of quinine and similar drugs first became known in clvilized countries; and it may very well be that there is a bonanza for someone in these desultory missionary hints and sug- gestions.
