on Thursday last 1t was given out in
New York that. operations OF the stock
conversion syndicate of the United states
steel Corporation had been abandoned.
]. P. Morgan & Company, managers Of
tho syndicate, made an official announce.
ment that they had converted sl5o0o'ooo
OF preferred stock into bonds. and that
the firm would turn the syndicate opera
lions. over to the United states Steel Cor.
rcration itself.
There are various surrnises as to why
the Morgan syndicate adopted this course.
II Is said that at the recent prevailing
rrices for ths preferred stock and the
bonds, there was margin of profit OF
twenty points on each bond converted.
This profit went to the Morgan syndlcate
For example. the conversion agreement
allowed the managers to buy ten shares
pf preferred stock at. say. 81 share
These shares were converted into one
bond, which was selling in the open
market at $50. In this transaction tho
syndicate at once made profit Of sl6o,
or sixteen points. To this amount must
he added the syndicate's commission OF
four per cent. making in all profit to
the underwriting syndicate OF twenty
points. or $500.
It Is estimated that had the syndicate
continued It's operations its profits would
have been at least slo7o0,ooo. The New
York Herald is inclined to give Mr.. Nor
San credit for liberality In voluntarily
giving up such a profitable contract. Tho
World. on the other hand. says that the
contract was surrendered upon the COM
mand OF the Rockefeller interests, who, It
IS asserted, now control the United States
Steel Corporation. and that this was tho
first step in the withdrawal OF J. p.
Morgan & Company from active don't.
nation OF that concern.
All that we know is that mon OF affairs
are not apt to give up such handsome
profits for tha sake Of philanthropy.
