No Bid for securities

q cannot better Illustrate the situ- ation than by reference to the recent attempts of the Michigan Central railroad to market in this country and in Europe an issue of ST, 100000 of its 1 per cent debentures The low bonded indebted ness of the Michigan Central and the previous stability of it's earnings should have made such an issue attractive to any security market. It has been inn possible, however, either in this country or in Europe, to secure any bid for these securities which could be considered.
 'The best bid which the company has been able to obtain was one recently made of S7 for the entire issue.
 "The acceptance of this bid would have involved a discount of over $2,250000 on an issue of 17500,000, and, of course, could not be considered
 'The only alternative is to borrow money on short time notes and as re- suit of an effort to do this shows that it will be necessary to pay approximately and in my opinion fully-6 per cent in terest on such notes.
 q believe this general condition Will continue to exist until the revenues of the companies can be increased through an increase in freight rates"
