OUO shares, and ran corner on it, which
vas unsuccessfui. The stock has beeu
carried by brokers for him, aud they

without more margin. The Chics 90
burlington and Quincy people have been
negotiating with Du6 for some time,
but were unwilling 70 pay his prices.
Gould and others made q syndicate, and
bought Duff 0ut. The purchase vas not
IN the interest Of the Wabash syet1m.
which has direct route to kansas City,
