In an iilyzlni; the figures that the capital stock of the Canadian Paciflo Rail- way has been increased several times during the i>erlod under review as I'ollows: In November. 1909. when $3i).0O0.iX» of additional stot-k was allotted at 12,'i, the amount of stock outstandiiw was $180.i>Oi),Oi>t>. That would be the amount of stock held by the 24.(i(X) shareholders in .Tanuarv. ; 11^11. A further block of $l8,t)00,0()0 ! wad allotted In .lanuary, 1913. at l.iO; > $2,tX)O.O0i) was sold during 1912 at a premiutn of $2,S6t).831.80: and $60,- 00(>,Oi)0 was allotted at 175 In Janu ary. 1913. In June. 1913, Augujgt. 1915, aud at the present time, there-, fore, the full $2tiO,t><)0,000 of stock has been Issued. ^ In a little moro than four ye>ars the nuTub^r of shareholders had inorcas- i Cii "24.41)8. or over ,M per cent. Last ;ear tbore was a small decrease in, the number. In the past few years a remarkable changje has ocourred In tho number of holders. \Vherc.\s lhre<* years ago there were 27,ooo, "â- 'J-:; of !â- 'â- Â» cinunon slock, there «..-•» i'l !.'!."> t 1.4 !<. an increase of K!.4o8. or 4:) per cent. Last year, tha number dropped to 40.2S7. but still â-  pood record. Tht>se fljtures seem to Indioata thai the so .ailed small In- vestor has been in the market during the past thr>?e ye,-jrs getting Canadian Pa<Mf1o Railway stock, the large liold- li:g.s having b.-^n sold to some extent and pl.Hed i:p by small investors. Th*" Increase In the niimbtr of !iol<l« ers was probably made to a large de- gree during thp latter part of 1915, bj those who had faith In the strength of the coiniiany and the maintenanc* of the 10 per o«>nt. dividend Thl» faith was rewarded. The cumber of t'anadlan holders has Increased ovep ".til i>er cent. In the last four years, and now stands at '),.>31. This is an excellent showloig; for a ooiintry which lias done more borrowing than in- vesting. Tho number of holders in Great Britain In 1915 was larser than two years previously, but smaller than In 1911. Great Britain probably sold t* th« Cnlted States last year. Tli« French and Gernvan holdings h«T« dropped considerably. The volume of shapes held by Cnlted States inv«9<; tors Is not very large, only lt).3d p«q cent. In 1915. a record which waa beater by Canada, which then heM I3.t54 per cent, of the total. Th« CtUtod States total has been incr«M-, fd moat likely by purchases laat yeUL from Great Britain. The figures In rf>gard to G«rmanA fire of unusual interest. In .ianuary, 1911, and .Itiae. 1913, German hold- ings were 10 per cent. This flgur«i tas beea reduced 90W to 5.34 per ceaV \
