BIG BOND ISSUE.
Southern Pscific Said to Have signified
Its Approval of Proposed sfoc,ooo,ooo
Eond issue

New York. Aug. 16.-Oficia1s of the
Union Pacific road. which dominates
the Southern Pacific Company, will
neither affirm nor deny the statement
of the executive committee that the
latter corporation adopted a resolution
commencing the S1o0000ooO per cent
convertible bond issut. 1t is not denied
that such action was contemplated. but
the proposition is still a tentative one
1t is authoritatively declared that no
date was set for bringing the matter to
the attention of the stockholders. and,
according to trustworthy report, de-
cisive action Will not be taken in the
matter for some weeks. The Southern
Pacific Cmpany is the financial cor
poration of the Southern Pacific rail-
road of California and its allied lines.
Its authorized capital is 100000 900 the
greater part of which has been issued.
The proposed bond issue will doubtless
carry some rights constituting. in eff
feet dividend on Southern Pacific
stock. In the event of a bond issue
large sum will be expended in improve
ment of the property.
