parently In an endesvor to show that the

In other words. that there were rights
on the stocks worth real money. The argu-
ment was based on the. assumption that
the new preferred stock II worth par and
the new common $40 a share and ran as
follows: The preferred stock holder gives
up ono share OF old preferred worth sd
plus SIS IN cash and receives SIS In new
preferred tassumed value $50 and s1+ In
common. worth $3.50. In other words, he
gives up cash and securities worth us
for securities here assumed to be worth
$1,000. The difference is the value of the
rights, or $3.50. Slml larry the rights"
on the common stock are figured out to be
worth $40. OF course the apparent
profits IN these operations are purely theo-
reticaL There Is nothing actual about
them. The price Of the privilege to sub
scribe to the new Rock Island stocks Is
the present market value Of the old stocks.
