WabuiJcoton, Aug. 15. "A wnvo of
spallation, consolidation nnd recapital
ization is pasting over tlio world," says
Assistant United States Treasurer Whelp
loy. Mr. Wliclploy knows whereof hu
speaks. Wlitlo oilier ofllctala watch olI
tics lio watched flnntice. Ho sits whero
tho licntlng of tlio fiscal pulso of tlio
country may lo noted witli unerring no
curacy, whero tlio financial activities of
tho wliolo world nro mirrored. "Tills
wnvo, In my opinion, is ono of tho most
remarkable things of recent times," mlds
Mr. Wliclploy. "It is not confined to ono
country nor to ono continont. Bclicmcs
for organization, consolidation mid ro
capitalization of industrial concerns nro
provnlont not only in Qcrraany, Franco,
England mid tho United States, but in
AtiRtralln, Africa nnd South America.
Tlio trust and syndicate idea lias fairly
taken possession of tho earth, People
appear to imagine that if flvo concerns,
each worth $100,000 nnd paying annual
profits of fc.'J.OOO, can bo brought under
ono management tjielr valun will at onco
leap to millions mid their profits to hun
dreds of thousands. Tho crazo for this
sort of thing is almost no wild nnd Il
logical as was tlio popular fovcr to In
vest in John Law's South Ben bubblo a
century ngo."
"How do you explain this tendency of
tho times?"
"Well, in tho flrBt placo, Investors nro
suspicious of railway securities. Not
many rail toads, in tho United States par
ticularly, nro making their usual profits.
Thero is, moreover, a lack of conlldcnco
in railroad management. Just at this
juncture, when money is flowing less
freely than loforo into railroads, and
when thero is such a glut of money that
in London 2 ior cent, is n good rnto of
interest, nnd in this country our 4 per
cent, bonds nro held ut a premium of 28,
with Now York city nblo to sell 2J per
cent, bond's at a small premium, tho
germ of tho trust and consolidation idea
npjK'ars in tho formation of big industrial
syndicates in this country and England,
whisky, sugar, cotton seed oil and steel
taking tho lead hero, and tho Doss, Guin
ness and other great breweries across tho
water. Thero wcro many imitators of
theso trusts. At first tlio consolidation
idea was taken up by tho actual owners
of industrial properties, and syndicates
woro formed to control interests of great
actual vnluennd earning capacity. Many
fortunes wcro mado In these consolida
tions, mid in a very short tlino tho public
was led to bollovo Invostraont In such
concerns the surest and spoodlost read to
wealth.
S&VsTn consolidation by owners, on n
purely mutual and thoroughly honest
basis, it was but a step to consolidation
and recapitalization on a fictitious and
exaggerated estimate of values. So great
has become public confldenco In trusts
and syndicates that frauds of tho bold
est and most siiecious character can bo
successfully marketed both in this coun
try mid Europe. In England particular
ly thero is a crazo for such investments,
and when former United States Treas
urer Wyman returned from Europon
short timo ago ho told mo it was tho
easiest matter in tho world for a couplo
of American concorns that had been
earning a littlo profit, and which had
somo gcnulno assets, to go over to Lon
don, consolidate nnd recapitalize at a
valuation llvo or ten times thoir actual
worth.
"That is just what is being dono at
tills time. London is full of such
schemes from tho United States, South
America, Australia, Africa, every whero.
There seems to bo no limit to tho English
purse, no end to tlio credulity of tho
English Investor. Tako tlio Durmah
ruby mino schemo as an oxntnplo. Tho
success of that 'flyer was such as to
mako Law turn over In his gravo nnd
crack his bones in envy. According to
tho prospectus tho Durmah Ruby com
pany had obtained from tho king of that
country a monopoly of tho ancient mines,
from which rubies could Imj picked by
tho wagon load. Moreover, diamonds
were becoming so plentiful, owing to tho
largo output of tho Capo mines, that tho
ruby was fast supplanting tho diamond
as tho most precious, most valuablo and
most fashionable gem.
"This company was capitalized at
500,000, or $2,500,000, in 1 shares.
Subscription books wcro opened at tho
Rothschild banking houso in StWithln's
lano, and when Rothschild's clerks camo
down to tho bank on tlio morning of tho
advertised day they wcro compelled to
ask tho assistance of tho polico in getting
into the building, and then had to climb
In tho windows by moans of ladders.
Thousands upon thousands of persons
crowded around tlio bank, eager for a
chance to subscribo to tho Btock. Dy
noon 1 shares woro worth 370 each,
and closed for tho day at 850. If tho
capital stock had been fifty millions of
dollars, probably It would all havo been
subscribed for.
"For months tlio newspapers havo been
filled with accounts of English' Invest
ments in all sorts of American proper
tiesin western lands, cattlo ranches,
flour mills, dry goods stores, theatres,
horso car lines, gas companies, etc.
Somo of theso reports nro true, somo not.
Thero is no doubt, howover, of tho mag
nitudo of English investment In Ameri
can breweries. I havo seen an authentic
list of tho breweries Bold to foreign
syndicates, and tho total sum involved
la nearly $30,000,000. Two Now York
brewer! es.not largo ones, aro consolidated
and capitalized at $4,500,000. A Now
Hampshire brewery is put In at $0,800,
000. Threo breweries at Rochester, N.
Y., go in at $4,500,000.
"John Smith has a brewery which
pays him, Bay. $20,000 a year profit. It
is worth probably $250,000. Richard
Roo has n brewery that pays him $10,000
n yi'ui, niiu tmu ia worm ciuu.wu. si
speculator comes along nnd says to
Smlthi 'I'll give you $500,000 for your
brewery. $300,000 cash nnd you to tako
stock for tho rcmnindor, tho now com
pany retaining you nt a salnry of $3,000
a year.' A similar offer Is mado Roo.
Doth accept, of course. Tho speculator
makes n small dejxwilt for tho option,
goes to London, incorporates his com
pany 'to purchase mid consolidate' tho
two concerns, issues n scductivo prospec
tus, prates of tho fnct that tho present
proprietors nro under contract to romain
nt tho head of tlio concerns nnd that they
retain largo financial interests therein,
pay largo sums to a London 'promoter'
or broker who knows how to reach capi
tal, mid presently the transaction is com
pleted. Smith mid Roo get their cash
mid their Block and nro retained nt fnt
salaries. Tlio Beculator and promoter
wax rich, and ovcrybody, oven tho In
vestor, Is happy. It is when dividend
day comes round that tho last named in
dividual incomes raisorablo.
"No wonder tho ownors of industrial
concerns nro willing to sell out to for
eigners when they can got two or thrco
prices for their property. Over in Eng
land interest rates aro so low that Q or 0
per cent, appears largo to tho eyes of an
Investor, nnd a prospect of 10 per cent,
sots him crazy. Whllo their interest
rates are low, their notions of a proper
capitalization nro very large. A certain
American invention which has been but
fairly successful in America Is being
worked olT on tho Londoners for $4,000,
000. Tho Rait trust has a capital rtock
of $11,000,000. A capitalization of a cer
tain manufacturing company is being
marketed in London, tho total being tho
enormous sum of $4,500,000. Another
company, n small but prosperous manu
facturing concern, modestly asks for but
$500,000. Two far western breweries
have clubbed togcttMf'nnd struck Lon
don for $2,000,000.
"Theso nro but Instances, of which I
could mention many more; and thero is
nn alluring schemo on foot for tho capi
talization of n land company, tho sito of
whose town hns not yet either a railroad,
a telegraph olllco or a postofTlco."
Tho English public, will invest in any
thing providing tho promoters put their
capital high enough and do not promlso
too much. Englishmen nro suspicious
of nny schemo that talks of 10 or 15 per
cent, profits, nnd nro disinclined to in
vest unless the capital runs up to a pretty
round figure. Many morltorious enter
prises havo failed to attract capital sim
ply becauso they did not put a big enough
prlco on themselves. Tho old saying,
"Striko high if you loso your hatchet,"
applies in this case. Theso English in
vestors do not Boom to profit much by
experience, cither. Thoy will oven go
into mining companies. Notwithstand
ing tho fnct that out of hundreds of min
ing companies listed In London only
forty havo paid dividends, 100 now com
panies, with a nominal capital of $70,
000,000, wcro capitalized in England last
year.
Among tho now mining ventures now
being successfully marketed In London is
ono which has somo novel features. It
is called tho "Wyldsdalo Gold Explora
tion and Developing company, limited."
It is Incorporated "for tho purposo of no
quiring tho concession granted by Urn
bandinc, king. nnd paramount chief of
Swazieland, South Africa, upon tho
slopes nnd spurs of Makonjwa mountains
mid ancient valleys, on which havo been
found both rich alluvial deposits of gold
and numerous gold bearing reefs." Tho
tract of ground granted by King Urn
bandinc is thlrty-eovcn square miles, for
which tho lessco is to pay but $200 a year.
Nobody knows whether there is any
valuablo ore In this land, but tho fellow
who secured tho grant will undoubtedly
bo nblo to sell out to tho company for a
round half million, for tho gulliblo En
glish publio has promptly walked up and
planked down more than a million dol
lars to equip tho company that is to ex
plore and dovelop tho alleged gold coun
try. "To transact tho business of theso spec
ulative enterprises innumerable trust and
banking companies aro springing up in
England," says Mr. Whelploy. "Theso
aro speculations in themselves, in which
tho organizers aro sure to mako money
by taking advantago of tho crazo. An
cxamplo of this was recently had In this
city. A friend of mino organized a now
trust company, subscribed for tho stock
himself, and on tho boom disposed of tho
most ot it at a premium which has al
ready netted him $30,000 profit. The
mania for speculation by means of incor
porated companies and consolidations of
enterprises hns largely taken tho placo
of stock and grain gambling. In my
opinion it is by far tho most dangerous
ovil of tho three."

Under tho nuspices of tho Free Sum

of the city enjoyed a happy day at
Chesterwood yesterday. Tlio preacher
branched off in a homily on Christian
life, which he- likened to an Anno Arun
del county ox climbing a hill. Ho said
the ox took a zigzag course in going up
the hill, or, in sailor parlance ho beat
up tho hill. So with tho Christian he
must beat up to heaven, and frequently
with a Wrong tide running against him.

HOW TO BUY HEN'S EOOS.
Two ICIniM of fowl That Lty tlio Deit
Oiie-Srlllri(t by Weleht.
Thero i n rent dollcacy In tho flavor of a
now laid egg that but fow city peoplo know
anything about. A lion's egg li referred to.
When tlio egg Is more than twenty-four
hour old this delicacy U gone. Alout tlio
inarkot It Is iniOMlbIo to got egg bo fresh
as tliia. Ufitnlly tlioy nro collected by specu
lators who drlvo through country towns,
gathering tlicm up nnd paying as low a rato
a dozen a (oiblov. Then thoy aro packed
and shipped to middlemen, or commission
merchants about tho market, so that tboy
havo lxcn out of tho nctt several day bo
fon thoy nro eaten.
Thero aro sotno tlmpto facta about eggs
that egg consumers nro very slow In taking
advantago of. If thoy had tho commonest
tort of knowledgo on tho suhjoct, thoy
.VMlIrt fti,fl tlllT? ,ltl,ll lit,,... ni1l.nntiirA
than they do. Thero aro lions and hens.
Bonio lay largo, heavy eggs, full of nutri- j
ment, and othors lay littlo thin, pointed eggs,
with almost no "moat" In them. It Is a enso
whoro blood counts.
For a long tlmo farmors wcro prejudiced
against what was called "fancy stock;" but,
through curiosity or a doslro to lmprovo thoir
trains of egg layers, thoy at last experiment
ed with somo leghorns, or light Brahman, or
wnio other varloty, with tho result, usually,
that tho common barnyard birds woro Im
proved by tho Introduction of thoroughbred
blood.
In only a few cases did tho fanners put
forth Intelligent effort In this matter. Curi
ously enough, thoy wcro satisfied to buy a
fow eggs at fancy prices, sot thorn, rnlso tbo
chickens, nnd, as soon as thoy wcro largo
enough, turn theso chickens in with tho com
mon fowls to tako enro of themselves. Tlio
next season thoy sot tho eggs of tho thorough
bred fowls oxjicctliig to got thoroughbred
chickens, but iustead thoy got hybrids, half
barnyard and half Leghorn. Many different
varieties of pigeons will select thoir own kind
in mating, but this Is not tho cruo with poul
try. Though tho result was disappointing, It
was, nevertheless, beneficial, and In tho fowb
in niniost nny barnyard In tho country ono
may now observe traces of high bred birds.
Tho size, feathers on tho feet, general form or
coloring nny Indicnto tho prcsenco of Plyra- '
outh Rook, Ilrnhma, Cochin, Leghorn or somo '
other superior blood.
As tho farmers Hud tho public willing to '
eat any kiml of eggs, without any discrimi
nation as to size, weight or color, thoy may,
perhaps, Ik: excused for not having cared
much w hat kind of hens thoy kept. Thdy
only were tho losers If thoy did not keep
such blrdt as would produco tho largest num
Iwr of eggs.
Of lato, howover, thero havo liecn signs of
a cultivation of taste in this matter. Hotels
doslro to lay buforo their cucsts lanro. full
eggs with high colored shells; and freshness
of taste U nmoro Important point than it
was onco. In tho hot weather, when eggs
aro iited very extensively In drinks, it is very
neces&ary thnt tho eggs piled up in a dish on
tho counter or bar should bo attractivo to tho
oyo and absolutely fresh. To drop a spoiled
egg Into a tumbler under tho customer's vory
noso would certainly spoil his appetite and
provent him from enjoying tho food supply
ing drink.
Tho huff Cochin hen lays an egg which for
delicacy of color Is unsurpossod. Tho hen
hcnclf is a beautiful animal, and tho egg is a
pinkish brown. In a whlto dish thoy aro
really exquisite. Unfortunately tho Cochin
does not "run to eggs," as tho Leghorn does,
nor is it very satisfactory as a tablo bird, for
tho reason that any attempt to fatten it
usually produces an cnlargonent of thoso
parts which aro not eaten, whilo tho outsldo
ot tho framo does not thicken at all. Brahmas
lay very "meaty" eggs, and aro good tablo
fowls, but they aro a littlo heavy for raising
chickens, and such unconqucrablo setters that
a hen has bocn known to keep a doorknob
warm for moro than a month.
Leghorns, on tho other hand, aro Indif
ferent mothers, and rarely can bo induced to
stick to tho nest until thoir chickens aro out
of their shells. Plymouth Rocks aro thrifty
producers of flno eggs, nnd they aro also good
tablo birds, faithful "setters ami mothers, and
thoy aro suOlclently hardy to euduro tho
rigors of tho Now England cllmato. Thoy
aro all that ono might expect from tho nowo
which they bear. Houdans, a French va"
rlcty, havo been bred hero to a small extent,
but aro a littlo tender for tho cllmato. They
aro said to lay tho very finest eggs that can
bo had. Tho Dorking is tho finest tablo bird.
When tho publio has becomo a little moro
acquainted with tho merits of bens' eggs
thoy may, it is hoped, domand tho purchaso
of them by weight. Eight Brahma eggs, for
instance, may weigh as much as twelve com
mon hens' eggs, and it is not fair that tbo In
dustry and quality of tho superior bird should
bring only tlio saino reward as tho Industry
of tho iuferior fowl.
It is very notlcoablo at tbo markets, how
over, that housekeepers nearly always look
for ogg of low prlco. regardless of sizo. color
and weight. It is also a surprising fact that
Now England does not produco enough eggs
to supply tho local demands. Very largo
quantities of eggs nro imported annually
from tho maritimo provinces and from
Franca. Franco is tho greatest egg produc
ing country In tho world. English farmer
and poulterer also ralso prodigious quanti
ties of eggs, but thoy havo not yet been ablo
to supply tho homo consumption. Conso
quontly England and America import eggs
from Franco to tho valuo of many millions
of dollars annually, Boston Herald.

Corn In Great Tlrltaln.
Of land under corn crops of all kinds thero
were In Great Britain 8,187,700 acres In 1833.

Wheat Increased by 340,000 acres, or 10.0 per
cent, moro than tbo area under wheat in
1837, and nearly 00,000 acres moro than the
average of the hut flvo years. Thero was, on
tho other hand, a decrease of 0.7 per cent, in
tho acreage under oats, whllo tho acreago un
