Third Avenue Stock Falls After Expected Assessment Rumors
The Third Avenue Railroad stock dropped seven points after talk of a 20 to 25 percent assessment for stockholders to recover assets. Reports linked the fall to a possible reorganization and exchange of new stock for the current issue, with market chatter also tying the decline to political and receiver transfer issues. Earnings for the year ended June 30, 1997, fell short of interest obligations on $37,560,600 first mortgage bonds, while 160,000 shares remain outstanding and receivers' certificates of $2,501,000 bear 6 percent interest.
