During the first ton months of
1927, 20 per cent of all railroad
financing was accomplished through
the sale of stock, the highest ratio in
a number of years.
This wide dissemination and in
creased sale of railroad securities
shows the confidence of the public tn
the industry. Also, it shows trust in
the character and efficiency of the
management», and recognises their
achievements in overcoming many of
their problems since the war.
Railroad development, instead of
being over, is steadily moving for
ward. A wider and greater sale of
stock is a good sign and shows an in
crease in the public interest in the
problems the lines are meeting. This
is a good sign and points to normal
growth of transportation facilities.
