Break in National Stock Bay State Gas burst after Lawson ads
The National Stock boom for Bay State Gas advertised by Thomas W. Lawson collapsed with a curb price of 115-16 after opening higher. Once promising to rise, the stock fell below 2 as Lawson’s promotion drew heavy buying, then weak demand and a market manipulation event triggered a sharp drop. Brokers compare the decline to Yukon Gold.

Hudson tunnel route to open early next year says McAdoo
William G. McAdoo, president of Hudson and Manhattan Railroad, states the Cortlandt street tunnel segment between New York and New Jersey will likely be in operation early next year. He notes only about twelve hundred feet remain between the plier head line and Washington street on the New York side. North of Pavonia avenue, a one thousand foot gap near Erie station and Fulton and Cortlandt streets must be closed before full service from Hoboken through Erie and Pennsylvania stations to Hudson Terminal can begin. Plans for the 33d street station are nearly finished and soon to be public.

Oklahoma banks face denationalization or withdrawal from guarantee plan
Oklahoma national banks under the guarantee deposit law must denationalize or give up state deposits. The State Banking Board levied a further one-tenth of one percent tax on average deposits due by September 12, atop February’s half of one percent levy. The move aims to force banks losing state deposits to become state banks or exit the guarantee fund. Separately in Montreal, Sir Thomas Shaughnessy said Canadian Pacific Railway may seek approval for 50 million dollars in new common stock at the October 7 meeting, but the issue likely won’t hit the market immediately.
