BALTIMORE. ND, July l1--As the

Each certificate IS entitled to one bond

preferred stock. and $50 of common stock.
As the southern purchased the certificates

the stock entities ~ 10 that, President
Spencer began looking around for a pur-
chaser for the bonds, amounting to be-
tween Sl.AD,mO and S2.WOO00. NegOtla-
tions were opened with the Maryland
Trust Company. and that institution
formed a syndicate, composed Of some Of
the principal capitalists OF Baltimore. and
struck bargain. II is said that the price
was in the neighborhood Of 100 This
would be ; per cent. above the present
price paid by the Southern when Il was
accommodating the certificates. and would
more than pay for both the bonds and
stocks which the latter secured. Thus.
the cost Of controlling the Georgia South
ern and Florida to the Southern was
nothing. while. in addition. the companv
netted a handsome profit on the original
transaction
