Bond Plan Urges Bondholder Deposits for Stock Distribution
The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad committee outlines a plan to distribute pledged stock among bondholders who deposit under the plan with Central Trust Company of New York at 54 Wall Street. Deposits must be in transferable form with coupons for coupon bonds and any applicable taxes, and certificates of deposit will be issued in bearer form with potential NYSE listing. Immediate deposits are urged to secure the plan and avoid cash payouts to non-depositing holders amid unsettled finances.

Amalgamated Cuts the Dividend Amid Market Troubles
Amalgamated Copper Company reduced its annual dividend from 6 to 2 dollars, with the quarterly rate dropping from 1.50 to 0.50 dollars. The move follows Anaconda’s earlier cuts, reflecting revenue tied to Anaconda shares. Wall Street banks signal easier money as call loans reopen, while debate continues on reopening Boston’s stock exchange amid mixed local and national potential. The Wabash Railroad plan to reorganize is withdrawn due to inadequate earnings, and Boston Suburban Electric Company may have paused its 4 percent preferred dividend despite no official announcement.
