dividend bonds were fresh batch issued specially
for the occasion and delivered direct to the stock
holders. The idea intended to he conveyed by our
statement was that large lot of convertible bonds
had been sold by the company ut ruinous rates

no one denies. Whether some Of the dividend bonds

Cleveland and Toledo Railroad Company cannot
doubt the correctness Of our figures in cal

that under the most favorable circumstances not
more than two per cent can he earned. Official re
