To Sell Bonds.


 New York, June I@The Mobile and Ohio Railroad company offers to pro rate to its stoc holders $1, ,250,000 of it's general mortgage 4 per cent bonds at 65. Each stockholder of record, June x, will be entitled to subscribe for bond of $500 The bonds offered are part of the balance of s1. .S51. GOO placed in the treasury when the mortgage was au- thorized for various purposes in connec- ton with the development and improve ment of the property. The purpose or the present emission is to fund the float ing debt of the company. which had ment and making additions to and im- proving the facilities of the company.
 And as each 100 shares of the stock is entitled to subscribe for $2500 of the bonds which are now selling at So, it ap- pears that the cash value of the privi- lege is $100 on each 100 shares of stock. There is a strong impression in certain quarters that when the operation has been concluded the management will as sist the stockholders in regaining con trol of their property by facilitating the redemption of the $35,00 debenture bonds, which are the last of the issue which perpetuates the voting trust. It is believed that the retirement of these bonds and the return of the voting power to the stockholders is essential to the consummation of any close alliance that may be made between the Mobile and Ohio and some one of the roads within which it connects at its northern termi- nus.
