the same reason that Union Pacific pur
chased New Tork Central atock, with
the Idea of opening up fresh sources of
traffic for the Harrlman roads.
Strengthening this hold upon the prop
erty with the Intention of some day
making It the eastern branch of a great
transcontinental system, may have been
what actuated Harrlman In nls offer to
purchase 85,600.000 of new Erie notes;
or else he may have been simply striv

putting up the money which nobody else
was disposed to furnish. Which of
