One unusually successful man is said to have received between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000 in stocks for his work in organizing trusts. Out of this amount he has had to pay the expenses of securing options, and charters, and, in some cases, to share with other promoters. His net proceeds, however, at present market prices of stocks, probably exceed $10,000,000 and may be twice that sum.
While there is no fixed percentage of stocks
allowed to promoters or claimed by them, 3 per cent. of each kind of stock is often allowed and is apparently about the minimum éver received. The promoters of the Republic Iron and Steel Company are said to have received $5,000,000 of common stock. Those of the National Tube Company and of the American Steel and Hoop Company are also said, in each case, to have received $5,000,000. The promoter of the Am- prican Tin Plate Company received $10,000,000 in common stock, now worth over $4,000,000, He is said to have virtually purchased the plants with his own capital and nt prices un- known to the various members of the trust. So that while $18,000,000 cacls of common and. purchase plants, it may be that he inade even more than the $10,000,000 of common stock allowed to him.

Of course such profits are alluring to men of ambitious minds, and hence it has come about that more men are now prospecting in this field in western gold mines. Manufacturers not yet in trusts are being pestered by promoters and are saying to their office-boys, in stereotyped "Tell him I am too busy in see language: him today. Confound that fellow He's been here every day this week." It is more than probable that the trust promoter is largely res- ponsible for the recent trust craze. His smooth talk, flattering promises, and too often bis false statements or insinuations concerning com- petitors who are represented to have given options and are coming in" have brought many men into trusts against their wills. one who has joined a corporate trust.

A. PRINCE BECOMES PLAIN ME.
The young Hereditary Prince of Isenburg- Boedingen-Birstein, on succeeding in April to his father's title, and estates, found, according to the Tagblatt, the latter to be so hopelessly encumbered that there would be nothing left for him after satisfying all the creditors. He therefore, with wonderful good sense, decided to drop his title, legally register his name as plain Charles Isenburg, and earn his living by entering a bank as an ordinary clerk, He hopes In course of time to rise to the position of manager, with a few hundred pounds a year. In these degenerate days, adds the journal, when wealthy parvenus are strring to obtain files by hook or by crook, it is refreshing to find a útled man who is anxious to become a
mere civilian..

This the bankers are now said to be doing. As a consequence scores of would-be trusts are pig unholed. Some of them, after being examined by search-lights, will get through. In most cases they will be held up until the options on the plants expire, when the promoters will start fresh and try to obtain new and more reasonable options.Abridged from the American Revieco of Reviews.

The P. & O. and other steamship companies are within 'n measurable distance of the time when they can confer great benefits on the public, while largely increasing their own dividends. Fuel, a ton of which has the heating power of two and a half tons of cual, and which costs much less, will be aynilable in quantities squal to any conceivable demand. It has been for sume years in use on a very considerable scale in the Caspian and Black Seas, and even in the Mediterranean. This fuel is the fifth product of the distillation of the crude oil ob tained in the region round Baku in unlimited quantities and is known locally as astatki. In the Pall Mall Magazine Mr. P. II. Shrine gives much interesting information derived from per-. sonal observation as to the extent to which this fuel is used. Nothing else, he tells us, is burned on the railivays of Central Asia, the Caucasus and Southern Russia, on the Black Sea, Caspian and river steamiers, and in the innumerable industrial works springing into existence around the Sea of Arov. Besides its superiority in heating power, it has the great advantage of dispensing with stokers; all that is required is an attendant to turn the tap connected with a
