Telephone Bond Boom Drives Market Activity
The bond market surged with American Telephone and Telegraph 4 per cent bonds dominating trading at $4,197,000 and 93 to 94, amid speculation of Harriman’s shift to telephone dispatching. The 4½ per cent stock rose to 131½ as syndicate buyers and national banks boosted demand, with savings banks diversifying into municipals as money remains cheap and traders expect a market broadening before the election.

Brown Creditors Retain Attorney In Bankrupt Firm Case
Creditors of the suspended Stock Exchange firm A O Brown & Co holding about 250 000 in claims have retained William Harman Black of 111 Broadway as counsel. If the firm is adjudicated bankrupt in court next week Black aims to help appoint a bankruptcy trustee and will work with Moses H Grossman, attorney for petitioning creditors. A O Brown & Co. member G Lee Stout said he has not been active in the firm since 1907 due to illness. A rumor about customer stock delivery was traced to trouble involving a customer and the branch manager at the Hotel Empire. Warburton pressed a sheriff's warrant for ten Ontario & Western shares and ten shares of the common stock of a relative of his wife. Anglin later paid the value and is suing Warburton for 310 00 on a charge of false arrest.

Predicament of Oklahoma Banks under Guarantee Plan
Oklahoma national banks under the guarantee deposit law face denationalization or losing state deposits as the State Banking Board imposes a new one tenth of 1 percent levy on average deposits due by September 12. A prior half of 1 percent levy was set in February with no stated reason. The move aims to compel banks facing loss of state deposits to become state banks or exit the guarantee fund. Separately, Sir Thomas Shaughnessy of Canadian Pacific says a $50 million common stock issue is proposed, but issuance timing remains uncertain and likely not immediate.
