New York Experts Debate Widening Freight Rates Impact
A Barron Financial News Service report from New York on December 21 notes securities prices barely move after a freight rate decision. Analysts say gains for railroads may total 30 to 50 million dollars based on 1913 tonnage, with curtailment expected in New England mills and cotton production. Pacific Mills and Amoskeag plan shutdowns around Christmas. Morgan & Co. buys 4.7 million in Southern Railway bonds. Wabash Railroad's 1914 results show revenues of 30.0 million and a growing deficit. Market commentary cautions against overreaction as the year ends and suggests safety in steady investment.
