Majority Stockholders Will Get @l0S
&hare---NO Provision for Minority.

Holders of the common stock of the
Hooking Valley Railroad, who deposited
their shares with J. P. Morgan Co, under
syndicate agreement, will receive CIR
cular from the banking firm on Monday
explaining that in accordance with the
syndicate agreement of last December
the common stock deposited with them
has been sold at Sos a share. The sum
realized after deducting actual disburse-
ments and commission of one-fifth OF
the profit, aggregates sufficient to pay
siO3 a share. This will be paid over on
Monday next.
While the circular contains no onicial
announcement Of the interests to whom
the control of the road was sold, report
that ii will be shared by several railroads
belonging TO the Lake Shore Pennsylvania
Erie group is generally credited in Wall
Street. According to the circular no pro-
vision has been made for the minority
shareholders who fail ed to deposit their
shares, and the uncertainty as to the stand
ing Of the stock has led to decline OF 10
points in it's market valuation.
In the same way, the circular makes no
mention of the preferred stock, but 1t IL
generally believed that this will eventually
be retired.
One story in connection with the Hooking
Valley sale was that six roads had each
bought 100000 worth of the common
stock and that this would be paid for in
individual notes Of each bearing per cent.

the July disbursements. The loss ID cAsh
Of S4.5O2. 200 was very much in excess OF the

nection with the loan increase OF Sso97 800,
produced decrease in the surplus OF s4.546.-

The acorn is the fruit of the oak.
The seed germ is very small object
at the pointed end of the acorn, with
the future root uppeTmOst. The acorn
drops, and it's contents doubtless I'M
dergo important molecular and chem
icaI changes while it lies under winter
covering of leaves or snow. In the
mild warmth Of spring the acorn
swells, the little root elongates, energes
from the end Of the shell and no mat
ter what the position Of the acorn,
turns downward. The root penetrates
the soil two or three inches before the
stalk begins sto show itself and grow
upward. The meat of the acorn
nourishes both root and stalk, and two
years may pass before its store OF food
is entirely exhausted.
At the end of year the young oak
has a root twelve to eighteen inches
long, with numerous shorter rootlets,
the stalk being from six to eight inches
high. In this stage it differs from the
tree. To watch these transformations
under the lens is a fascinating occupa-
ton.
