The Exposition Company has an author
lied capital of S,W0,OJ0, though the pOpu-
lar subscription TO the stock was only 81

established themselves in st. Louis are
anxious to contribute TO the Exposition,
and several old corporations and individ-
uals who did not subscribe in the first in
stance wish to do so now
For this reason II has been decided by
the management to raise the stock sub
