One of the things that Bob Downing told me about the Q stock is that BN made a 
concerted effort to buy up the remaining shares and got it down to just a small 
number of shareholders, who did not want to sell out for any reason or price.

The remaining CB&Q stock, not held by the GN and NP, was roughly divided into 
thirds.

One third: First National Bank of Chicago
Second Third: West Publishing
Remaining Third: In public hands, mostly in small amounts.

If you wanted to buy a few shares of CB&Q stock, it was not difficult if you 
knew where to look. The Chicago area stockbrokers could usually accomodate you 
within a week aince they made a small market in the few shares available for 
public holding.

This information came from two sources. My time in the Burlington Accounting 
Dept and Bob Downing.

Hi,

Everyone knows that after 1901 the GN and NP each owned about half of 
the CB&Q. However, they didn't own 50 percent each; they owned 48.4 
percent each.

I've always wondered who owned the other 3.2 percent and why they 
refused to sell at the generous terms offered ($200 a share for stock 
that had been selling for $140 a share). Recently, I acquired a list 
of assets owned by James J. Hill at his death in 1916. It included 
5,177 shares of CB&Q stock.

How many shares were outstanding at the time? What percentage of the 
total is 5,177? Why did Hill keep 5,177 shares in his own portfolio 
instead of selling them to the GN and NP?

I hope someone on this list can satisfy my curiosity about these questions.

Best,

Randal
