| Transcript | New York Feby. [February?] 6th 75 [1875?] Dear Cousin Willie, I had your 155 shares zinc stock put in your own name & have the certificate. On lodging the Power of Atty [Attorney?] with the Company, the secretary found that you had given me power to sell, transfer & vote but not a word is said about dividends - Just send me a power to collect any dividends I think it will arrive in plenty of time, from present appearances, as no dividends are to be paid until the suit is settled - 103 shares of the Common stock sold at auction on Thursday at 88. I am offered for the $13500 City sevens, 107 and interest - There is only one lot offering $50 000 - & the holders ask 109/2 There is one broker who makes these N.Y. [New York?] City Stocks a speciality & as he seems to have a monopoly of it he generally makes a difference of 2 or 3% between his buying and selling prices. The City of Montreal is in & I hope to have the letters in time to answer them by this mail I have had a lot of cy [currency?] come in & have ordered exchange bought, £2500, but the bills have not come in yet. This rise in gold of course is disgusting, just so much dead loss but I hope we will get it back when the fall comes - As you know I am following Cousin Rowlands advice & send forward money as it comes in & if not "speculating", as he calls He said he knew it would please #PAGE 2 you all - I hope it does - Sidinberg wants two more boxes of 1800s and we have none I don't know if you will approve but I am going to send him a box of [allai?] 1900s, picking out the worst from RY 19ot191 (sic). We let an old Customer go shopping for a case of 1800s the other day & he tells us he bought one from Sloan Black & Co. [Company?] @ 50 cts [cents?] & they were better than ours - & I am afraid to let any good customer go in these times If you will look at your shipment you will find that the last 1800s left Ballymena early in October!!! Why have you let your shipments run down so? Ross Campbell & Co. [Company?] tell me they have cabled you for 10 boxes more B.C.'s - I saw their cheap elastic Dress linens - They certainly are handsome goods - Woodward again told me that they cost more than 1/4d [quarter dollar?] less than yours. You were all indignant with him & with some reason, but at the same time I wish we had a good many as good customers, for he has bought 45 boxes of linens from you so far this season - If the Hollands suit them we ought to sell them 12 @ 15 boxes a year of them. Mandell bought the [F2?] in B.C.'s from the Bedford St. [Street?] - Mullen [Gde?] Co's [Company's?] complaint about Hollands & samples from a pc [piece?], I send today - Can't you buy the Duck for 0/203 ready made? The Bedford St. [Street?] are selling such property cheap. We suppose they will cost 7d [dollars?]. I am afraid Fisher Whitman & Co [Company?] wont change there [their?] make of Hollands - they say there is not enough difference - send them, when you get them up, samples of it heavy make & quote low prices - yours Roland. |
