New Telephone Combination Explained by Latta

He described the Erie company as a consolidation of five subsidiaries with Bell not owning stock but holding perpetual patent use through contracts. The arrangement limits Bell’s territory and promotes harmonious cooperation rather than cutthroat rivalry.

The market opened weaker than Friday’s close but noon trading showed strength aided by short covering. Sugar moved from 96.1 down to 95 then rallied to 101 before ending near 100. Erie Telephone rose from 108 to 111 while Bell slipped. Third Avenue rose strongly. railroads in general firmed slightly. Mining shares were dull. Rumors of a private settlement involving a large Sugar long position helped sentiment. The bank statement showed mixed shifts with increases in loans and deposits. Cotton contracts hit new weekly highs amid heavy buying and revised European sentiment favoring higher prices. Analysts warned Third Avenue and other New York Traction stocks face pressure from overcapitalization and potential value shrinkage.
