sofidated with the parent company at the

the meetings of stockholders and formal
transfers of half dozen of these lines to

All OF these roads have been operated
and practically owned by the Burlington

bookkeeping each was a distinct line. The
lines are located in Kansas, Nebraska,
Wyoming and Montana. The Burlington's S
way of constructing new lines is to in
corporate a distinct company build the
road and lease 1t to the parent line, the
Burlington holding all the stock Later

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET.

MANCHESTER, Eng. January H.
Business on the cloth market this week
was decidedly dull, with barely the aver
age turnover. China placed a few small

trade, as we'll as the home trade busi-
