gage bonds had been sold. This Was an
"astonisher" and shows that the investment
public does not have any faith in the fu-
ture solvency of the road. The stock
dropped from 4S2 to 39s in the Boston
market, while no sales were made
in New York for want of buyers.
The great Atchison seems to be pointed
toward receiver.
Two years ago the stock was regarded
gilt-edged and sold at Sl20 per share of
800. 1t was largely held by wealthy
New England people, many of whom have
been ruined by the rapid decline.
One of the investment stockholders be-
coming alarmed three years ago at the
enormous extension projects of the COM
pany, predicted the downfall of the road
and brought suit to prevent his securities
from being thus ruined. Nearly all of
the stockholders were dead against him
and he was defeated. He sold his stock
at SIP, loosing several hundred dollars by
so doing, but he thereby saved the bulk of
his fortune.
