Mrs. Stanford DisposeS Of

Other Notes of Unrest.

San Francisco, Nov. 15.-The news that
Mrs. Leland Stanford has disposed of all
her Southern Pacific stock was not a
surprise in this city. 1t has been known
that since George and William H. Croker
had sold out to the Speyers and negotia-
tons on the part of Mrs. Stanford to sell
had been commenced. Mrs. Stanford is
said to have sold 2S5. 900 shares of stock
for the sum of 81, 400, 900. It is generally
belleVed that Mrs. Stanford owned $3.50, 900
SHARES, the same amount as the Crockers.
who sold out for $14. 200, 900. Senator STAN
ford was the smallest shareholder in
southern Pacific, but the largest holder in
Central Pacific stock, and it is thought
that in the reorganization the larger
amount OF Central Pacific stock balanced
up the southern Pacific holdings and that
Mrs. Stanford was on even terms with the
other three owners. There is only one
opinion regarding the sale, and that is
that it was the best Mrs. Stanford could
do. Since the Crockers went out of the
Southern Pacific Mrs. Stanford was very
much III the minority. Whether Mrs.
stanford received $14. 200, 900 or $11, 400, 900,
she can invest the honey in dividend paw
ing interests, which means that the Le-
land Stanford. Jr., university will receive
the beneht. This Southern Pacific stock
actually belonged to the university, but
Mrs. Stanford retained the right to dis
pose of 1T when she pleased. The sale
