to $2OOOOOO Last March the directions OF Erie Sold
without notice OF stock for construction and the
Rock Island followed the same bad example $1,000
600 Of stock averaging 9 thus conessng that the prop
ery worth par the estimation OF Its managers
II now stated that the direction Of the Erie Railway

pose, and throw it upon the market. In view
Of the continued manufacture Of stock by these
corporations and that there register kept whereby
stoekhOldeT tell how much stock there a. II would
be well for money-endeTs If the boards should insist
that should be loaned upon deah in at the
Stock Exchange that did not have register kept at one
OF the trust companies that could be examined at any
time by the stockholders. At present purchaser OF
Erie does know If the common stock is $30OoO or
50OOO and the present managers give good reason to
fear that the corporation Will be in bankruptcy before
long, and property pass into the hands OF the bond
holders. These continued surrepttous sales Of stock
work disastrOusly all the railway shares dealt n the
good and bad alike suffering great depression from these
underhand issues After due notice. unless correct list OF
their stocks were placed file at convenient place
of reference they should be stricken from the list
Ghoud the stocks OF all other unregistered corporations
and thus present the constant dsut felt by the holders
Of railway property.
