would 11 oe eem m as though it were not very liberal iberal distribution but wo we took the chances of what the market might inight be and the common stock I 1 that was issued by the railway company I 1 was ras somewhat in relation to what you might gay say discounting the we future and to enable ti to put outa out a security which might bo be a prior hen lion that is our 3 ai per cent bonds by dividing the risk we could coula sell at 3 ay per cent bond to wine advantage and retain either the preferred or common stock mr fir purposes of control contro or we could sell the whole of the preferred stock or pan part of it and still retain common stock of 1896 that is lain common stock for the purposes of off control in 1898 we were just beginning to emerge from A L series of years of depression press fori resulting from the tho panic of 1803 1893 and I 1 might say the of 1896 that 19 the political campaign and the result of if the venezuela message which I 1 think you will remember had a very serious effect because of the possible difficulty which it in might feht get us into with england in 1898 we were just beginning to emerge erge from those conditions which were conditions of economy and restriction and timidity on the tho part of the capital and it was doubtful whether we with all the stock of the chicago alton railroad company would have been able at the time to have sold our 3 per cent bonds as high as 65 in the market but it waa was the change chang in conditions between the end of 1898 and the fall of 1899 which brought about a condition which enabled the marketing of if the avs 3 per cent bonds the 3 per cent bonds and the preferred stock which the syndicate subscribers subscribe ng held to advantage to themselves without any disadvantage to the shippers or anybody that was using the chicago alton railroad cota company pany as shown by tho the figure I 1 have given you Examina examination don as to purchases of alton stock stoc k by
