operation Of the law. The amount Of

bly, decreased since 1855, aud a great ~
durton is uulcd Ia the amount u bonds
paying no interest Ii the issac Of rail-
way capital had been restricted to the
amount necessary to construct mud equip
tho properties, tEcrc would. under normal
conditions, Of business. be much more sat

railway securities do, however WELD lit
