If you want any information about that, I really must have time. I wont dispute it for a moment. I think it

was in 1903 that I made a good deal in Cottons, if I recollect right. I have bought at 5 I think, and sold at 15, I think it was, in 1903. I am not quite sure.

24.140. I will remind you. Here is a copy of your bank account, and you can look at it. At the haginning of the year 1903, you brought forward a balance of $900 odd from your previous account. Then on the 8th January, you paid in $550 in notes. At the end of the month, you paid in another $492 in notes. That is over $1,000

paid in in notes inside of a month. It is four years

ago

but could you remember where that money came

from?

I oould not.

14.141

It is a considerable sum of money to pay in. It is practically a fifth or a quarter of a year's salary,

It may have been dividends.

No, these are paid in in notes and cash, and in 24-1424 addition to that, there is an amount of $196.50 a

dividend warrant.
