striking feature of the day being a new movement
in Western Union Telegraph. based upon memorial
~ the Executive Committee of the Company, which
il in circulation among stockholders for signatures
asking for a distribution among the stockholders of
the surnlus funds of the concern. The memorial
states that the surplus of the Company according to
President Ortons annual report of Juno last,
amounted lincludng S7.2Sj 200 Of the Company's
stock held as an asset to upward Of SlG,WO,OOOi
that this surplus. with its increase since
June amounts to fully 80 per cent on the outsand-
ing stock of S33.77s.175. This surplus say the
memorialists has arisen from net earnings that II
belongs to the stockholders, and that they ought To
have IT, la order to make the distribution without
impairine the usefulness of the Company II IL pro-
posed to reduce the outstanding capital stock from
S33 rs 175 to S3O0J0,000. by the purchase OF the
requisite number of shares in the market, and to
represent the aforesaid surplus by the issle Tor
private distribution among the stockholdersl oil
