Rivers Wilson. chairman OF the board Of
directors Of the Grand Trunk Railroad
and representative Of the English stock
holders IN that property has arrived in
this country. In day or two he will
go to Montreal He explained that he
was about to make his yearly inspec-

have done so for the las, five wears
We are not in the storm center Of ANAL
gamation or consolidation. which seems
10 he the order Of the day here. We
are going along attending 10 our own
business and not bothering with other
roads"
He said that mis- trip did not mean
any change in the affairs OF the Grand
Trunk.
When asked what he thought the re-
suit Of the recent corner in Northern pa
c!fc would be so far as English invest
ments in American securities were con-
cernad he replied:
Il don't think i, will amount to any
thing America is making great strides
commercially but We are used TO that
sort of thing now Mr.. Morgan has
accomplished a great many things and
his name is on every ones lips.
How about the purchase Of the ley
land line? Do you think that Amer-
can interests are gobblIng up English
commercial institu,ions?"
Nothing Of the kind That will give
Il stimulus. That's all"

NEW YORK, May 16.-The Iron Age
