nounced at the time that when money market
conditions should have improved, about $25,-
100000 OF either common stock or convertible

1t has now been decided to issue bonds, for
which the holders of common and preferred
stock are to be allowed to subscribe, during the
period beginning July and ending July TO- to
the amount of u per cent OF their respective

books at the close of business on May 10 On
the basis Of the present amounts outstanding
OF common and preferred stock. respectively,
$103,O01000 and $114173730 the bond issue
will be for $26,O60967, but these figures may
be enlarged a little, owing to the possibility of
the conversion of further convertible As before

the future may bear a lower rate of interest.
The per cent convertbes declined sharply
