Speyer & Co. Buy Large Central Pacific Block
A substantial stake in Central and Southern Pacific railways was purchased by Speyer & Co. bankers of New York. The deal, arranged with merchants familiar with the two concerns, may involve Crocker or Stanford holdings. The Journal’s informant said Vanderbilt money is not involved, and Speyer acts for himself, possibly taking over holdings from others not aligned with Huntington. Speyer had previously shown interest in a Central Pacific deal. George Crocker’s family still holds the last unfixed fifth.
