"From this" added Mr. Knight. it will be seen that
last year the company earned dividend OF per cent
on the present par value of the stock with better
poets in the immediate future. The road is III excellent
condition and well equipped, the new lines to Philade-
pima and Long Branch doing good business, and
see no reason why the amount Should not be Increased
TO 81 600 900 this year" He then referred To the
security offered for these certificates OF indebted
ness and next dwe upon the fall III the STOCK OF the
other coal companies. The stocks OF three OF the prn-
cpa companies had deprecated in year over 10000

wanna and Western Railroad quoted at 10, Of the
Reading Railroad 1852 and of the NewJersey Cen
trail Railroad at 100 To-day the quotations were TO- 30,
and o. respectively This depreciation came out OF the
pockcs Of the stockholders ana the Of these
companies should meet and that they would not pur
sue this course any longer The public did not demand
coal at 50 per Ii willing to pay living price
of 81.
J. W. Geney said he represented 100 shares OF stock,
and he thought that before these certificates were taken
M they should know more about the security which was
offered for them. He understood that the company
which issued the bonds already the property OF the
New-Jrrsry Central The president had stated that
these bonds worth Co. while he was Informed that
they could not he disposed OF at 80. He wanted full
report of the actual condition OF both companies. He
was Informed that at least S2OOOO OF the Lemgh and
