Norfolk and Western Debt Stable Despite New Bond Issue
A New York dispatch notes Norfolk and Western Railway in its annual report shows funded debt at 87,852,500 dollars with an added 10,000,000 dollars of bonds issuable under the first lien mortgage. These bonds have aided the sale of 7,500,000 dollars of two year notes at about 99 and interest. The dissolution of a $5,000,000 underwriting syndicate on June 7 contributed to prior weakness in bond prices.
