CONTROL OF ALTON CHANGES

today. The acquisition of the road Is sub
sect TO certain conditions which win not

weeks from the present time.
while the negotiations have been closed

take place until the Hawlfy interests have
obtained definite knowledge that the gov
ernment does not intend TO fine the Alton
so coo in connection with the Standard
OIL rebates Two other factors of less
Importance have not yet been settled A
statement explaining the transfer Of con-
troll issued today read in part: The terms
under which the Chicago & Alton has been
acquired by the Toledo. S. Louis & Western
provide that the latter shall issue its col
lateral trust bonds secured by the Chicago
g. Alton common and preferred stock pur-
chased on the basis Of 4 per cent at par.
for 81 900 shares OF the preferred stock. and
per cent for the first FIVE years and
per cent for the second five years on l449co
shares OF common stock at IS.
Under these terms, II the Chicago *
Alton continues to earn 4 per cent on its
preferred stock. as II has done during the
last five years. with a surplus over and
above this amount ranging from a mini
mum of So 80 for the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1893. TO a maximum of 81 le,esS
