The Louisville and Nashville situa-

sultation with any railroad interests in
the South or elsewhere and entirely on
their own account, bought in the open
market large blocks OF Louisville and
Nashville stock and claimed now to be
a clear majority.
:'By reason of a large short interest,
growing partially out of the sale by the,
Louisville and Nashville of $4,000 shares
an authorized additional issue of
treasury stock was not listed
and not therefore a good delivery in the
exchange, a serious corner was immi-
nent. j. P. Morgan and Company were
appealed to, to use their influence to
prevent such a disastrous condition.
After two days negotiations this has
resulted in an agreement by which the
Gates stock will be deposited with and
placed under the control of j. p. Morgan
and Company IS banrers and not as rep
resenting any railway interest, and with
no purpose except to conserve in the
best possible way the general financial
and business situation and avoid the Sc
rious complications which have threat
ened.
"'The Southern Railway Company has
had and has no interest. directly or in
directly, present or prospective, in the
purchase of the stock, or in its deposit
as above with !. p. Morgan and Com
pany There is no contest for the con-
troll of the Louisville and Nashville by
