M. Keys, New York.) On one day In November two manufacturers visited a banking house in New York. One of them manufactures a clay product, the raw material of which comes from Austria. The other one manu factures saddles. In June of this year both these men were getting along only fairly well, the first rather better than the second. Business had been dull, normally, with both of them. In November the manufacturer of clay products was willing; to confess that his business had been practically destroyed and he did not know which way he could turn to revive it, unless the war came to a close very soon, and he was able to resume the importation of his raw material. The manufacturer of saddles, on the contrary, had Just closed a contract which would keep his plant busy for five months at Itß maximum capacity, turning out products sold on the largest profits that he had been able to secure In many years. Thus the Incidents of the war, in which neither of these men had had the slightest initiative, had depressed the one and exalted the other. The Incident Is of value to the Investor if he will apply it to investment matters. There are hundreds of stocks and oif bonds afloat in the United States that represent industries exposed to the same sort of vicissitudes that oame to these two men. It does not always take a war to ruin a prosperous industry, and it does not always take a war to bring suddenly to some struggling industry a flood of wealth and affluence. Incidents of a hundred different sorts produce these same results, and the stockholder, or even the bond holder, of industrial concerns, is always exposed In greater or lesser degree to sudden changes of fortune, favorable or unfavorable. The war has merely afforded a dozen illustrations of a principle which all trained financial economists recognize, but which the public seems always bound to ignore. It Is said that once, after Andrew Carnegie had sold out Ms Steel Interests in this country, he remarked to a reporter that the steel business would always be either a prince or a pauper. By that he meant that the profits of the business depended upon certain Indefinite circumstances which could not be foretold, and that the difference between great prosperity and poverty would depend upon a small margin of chance. What is true of the greatest industrial industries Is also true of the smallest, and it would seem likely, to > some extent, that the element of chance grows larger as the industry grows smaller. One might say that In the great staple trades it takes almost an economic revolution to destroy established lines of manufacture, or to bring it about that they suddenly become extra ordinary- prosperous. In the small manufacturing trade, on the contrary, like the making of patented specialties, patented food products, or products based upon secret formulae, a little thing like a new patent, new formula, or a new genius in the trade, may make one company and break another. Thus the risk as well as the chance for large profits is multiplied as one goes down the Indus trial scale. The gist of experience, then, is that If one look for safety, one is hardly likely to find it in perfection in the atoeks or bonds that represent a partnership in Industry. That is in no sense a criticism of industrial investment. Most of the great fortunes of this and every other country, were made by successful ventures in industrial fields and probably they always will be; but it is coming to be an established principle in Investment that the fundamental idea of In vestment is not s-o much to make money as to save it and keep it working at a normal rate of income. To the speculator, thte whole incident of the closed stock ex change, and the suspended animation of the market, has been a great shock and an extraordinary experience. Also a curious varia tion in the prices of stocks as they were affected by the unnatural conditions have given to the speculator a sort of a feeling that he knows nothing at all a<bout stocks. In ordinary times the trained speculator congratulates himself that he can follow pretty definitely the fluctuations In stocks; but when these fluctuations are based on such a thing as this war, with the result In economic changes throughout, the world the ordinary rules of speculation fail utterly. Perhaps, as one result of the war, a great many men who have delighted to risk their money in speculation will prefer the safer if less exciting field of Investment; but, on the contrary, It may work just the other way and the great era of new speculation may start with the end o£ the war.
