national Navigation Company in 1899 only S13,-

These bonds having been disposed OF under
auspices which left the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company largely interested in them, il became
important for the railroad company to dictate
to some extent, the terms upon which the In
ternational Navigation TO be taken over
and the early policy of the Mercantile Marine
Company. During the decision of what should
be the position OF the international Navigation
Company in the merger the American line also
had behind il the Philadelphia traction group
and large bituminous coal interests operating
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The
lease Of the whole of the seventeenth and a
considerable portion of the first floor of the
Land Title Annex at rental quoted all the
way from $4,000 $50 900 was, OF course. agree
able 10 the traction group. Just following the
completion of the negotiations which resulted
in the purchase of the Atlantic Transport line,
IL is said, a pool formed which bought 81 go
shares Of Atlantic Transport stock at the then
figure of $50. subsequent quarrel led to the
disruption OF this pool under circumstances
which entsiled particularly heavy loss upon one
