THE ART OF BUSINESS.

is not commercial enterprise to be classed rather with the arts than with the sciences & or is it not, at least, a blend of both, like, for example, architecture or instrumental music? There are scientific principles to be observed in the foundation, and the equipment, and in what may be termed the gubernatorial side of its conduct. But the achievements of many

■ eminent,business.men are not the successes of a scientist, but rather the triumphs of an artist. In scientific research ile element of human nature is carefully stumped oat, or is, at any rate, bound over to keep the peace; not merely in the natural scienc's, but in other depart- ments, such as conomics. There is little room for individuality in mathematical calculations or microscopic observations. But in business, as in art, personal magnetism is a power. The business man has an audience, and he plays his stock-in-trade and machinery as the virtuoso plays his violin, translating his personality jato gold.

Elderly commentators profess to mark a dis- tinct change in the character of those engaged in high commerce which has taken place since the mid-Victorian period, and they trace an insidious influence to the Companies Act of 1863, which has, in conjunction with other joit stock, legislation, undoubtedly modified to a considerable extent the conditions under which business is carried on. There are, nowadays, 'greater p. lertialities of rapid fortune making, and many merchants and manufacturers go through the day's work with one eye on the works or the warehouse and the other on the Stock Exchange. The ld-fashioned private, firm, in which the junior partner settled down to work quietly and steadily for the rest of his life, and the affairs of which were never made the subject of public comment, had no hopes of "promition" or "flotation," no prospect of raising the wind by advertising an issue of debentures or preference shares; it bad to work out its destiny without the advice of the city editor and the assistance of the broker and jobbar. Limited liability, however, turns the limelight of publicity on the doings of the company. Everybody knows how much, it is earning or losing, and approximately what is the value of ita business, and its directors may frequently be described, without 'injustice, as artists performing in public. It is a common. place of financial criticism to allude to certain kinds of balance sheets as works of art, and several city orators are celebrated for their poetic inspirations in the face of disappointed shareholders.

pounds' worth of shares in companies because the chairman is a good sportsman, or a shin. ing light of some religious sect, or a member of the Upper House, or because the prospectus has had the advantage of bold, and ingenious advertisement. The nature of the undertaking and the prospects thereof, objectively com sidered, are quite secondary matters. On the other hand, sound industrial schemes have to be hung up indefinitely, or carried out halting- ly, because they do not tickle the fancy of the popular investor. Circumstances being what they are, the raising of capital by appeal to the public is a periodically recurring stage in the progress of many industrial undertakings, and any text-book of the "science of business" would have to devote a chapter or two to this question. Could the British investor be in- duced to study such a treatise, perhaps we should not so frequently witness the successful "flotation "of some salted gold mine in the uttermost parts of the earth, while a home in- dustrial enterprise has to fall back upon the underwriters.Traction and Transmission.
