North Missouri Railroad sale and related bond details
The North Missouri Railroad was sold at auction in St Louis for 2 million dollars in cash. Three thousand five hundred shares in the St Charles bridge across the Missouri river, owned by the company, sold at 25 dollars per share with Jessup of New York buying. The purchaser assumes 38 million in first mortgage bonds and there is about 2.5 million in floating debt, with about half the value of the road believed to be real. Jessup also owns the Dubuque and Southwestern Railroad and funds the St Louis to Cedar Rapids line. Local fear about Chicago interests influencing control eased after Jessup’s involvement.
