This has not only enlarged capital sources for industry but has started an epidemic of investment fever. Many workers are also buying stock with their own money, and the Sao Paulo stock exchange is one of the world's most active bourses; volume last year rose by 250%. One enterprising stock vendor even sends agents out in canoes to sell along the rivers of the interior...
