I wish to show how nuieh eon fijeuce some of the principal ! sbarehoIders have in the Provi sioual Government, annexatiou, anil the fnture prosperitv of this “government organ.” Six inontbs ago, I cffered the above shares for $20. I even left word with a certaiu prominent shareholder to sell thera if he conld for the above price, bnt neither he nor I could find any takers. A few nights ago, I even tackljed the edttor of the paper; 1 aske<l him about what he thought they were worth, said he; “They ought to be worth #40.'’ Said I: “You ean have ray five shares for $151" I didu’t oiub rstaud just exactly what he said, as he rapidly moved away, bnt it was to tbe effect that he was looking for proxies. not buying stocks. Xow, I can't afford to lose hard c ish any more, nor as mueh, as aovbodv else; but, to eomhine ( business with pleasare, and to fiud out who, if there is auy left. that still has anj' coufidenee in the St(tr’s future they ean have the 5 shares for $15. First eome, first served. Only dou’t speak all at onee. * Yonrs resj>ectfully, H. A. JrE\.
