No decision of recent times affecting
corporations has made such a sensation
as the refusal of the Court of Chancey
in New Jersey to permit the conversion
of a large portion of the preferred stock
of the United States Steel Corporation
into bonds. Other courts had refused
to interfere, but the case was not pre
sented on the same grounds as that
which was considered in the decision
in question. Of course there will be an
appeal, but even the Financial Chroni
cle does not believe there will be a re
versal.
The result on its face is apparently
that the common stock will suffer, be
cause the plan involved reducing fixed
charges to a large extent by lowering
interest from seven to five cent. On
the other hand, the stockholders re
main in closer control of their property
and there will be no bonus of #10,000,-
000 paid to Morgan & Co. for effecting
the conversion, a process that ought not
to cost one tenth of that amount.

When I Say That
The Davis Sewing Machine leads all
others, it is not merely to fill a column
with an advertisement. I mean that no
other machine is so simple' I mean
that no other machine is so finely made!
And that no other machine is so easily
run! The "Davis" is polished like a
watch; it will not kill a woman to run
it; it will do more than double the
variety of work, without basting, than
any other machine can do. All other
sewing-machine men acknowledge this,
but says, "Our's is the cheapest." But
I say that to buy a cheap sewing ma
chine is not economy. The best is al
ways the cheapest. I also sell Behr
Bros' Matchless Pianos. For further
