MANY BRIGHT SIOES NEW YORK. Harris. Wlnthrop * Co., writing on the situation in the financial world, has the following to say: The Investment situation has been enormously safeguarded by the re markable distribution of securities which followed last year's panic dls turhance. The thousands of bona-fide Investors who bought odd lots at the bargain levels of 1907, are not going to vote against the integrity of their investments or In favor of radical or wholly discredited policies. These people have learned much within the past year about the absurdity of at tacking corporations without cause, and about imposing restrictive bur dens which only result in curtailing dividends and increasing the number of receiverships. The rank and file of small loves tors, whose purchases of 5, Id or 50 share lots, offered such effective sup port to last year’s fnlllng markets, making them part owners of the great railroad systems, represent, the most Intelligent, citizens in the country to day. Those men will vote as they think best, and it is fair to assume that their Judgment will be largely Influenced by a desire to safeguard the securities in which they have lodg ed (lie accumulated savings of a life time. The situation In thnt respect is ex tremely hopeful, although too much must, not he taken for granted in reckoning upon a one-sided campaign The contest may develop some wholly unlooked-for complications, and there ran be no doubt that the progress of events needs to he very carefully watched by those Interested in the country's Investment future.
