Mr. Fish of Illinois Central spoke at a Philadelphia dinner about the changing ownership of railroads and other monopolies in the U S noting that from less than one seventh of capital in American hands in the early days to about three quarters now. He cited figures showing hundreds of Americans holding vast stock and a broad spread of shares, with emphasis on the shift from British and Dutch ownership to American control.
