Pennsylvania Railways Plans $20 Million Securities Issue Stuns Wall St
The Pennsylvania Railroad seeks authority at its March 12 meeting to issue 100 million dollars in stock and 100 million dollars in bonds, a move traders deemed unexpected and potentially inflationary. Earlier declines gave way to a late market rally as sentiment shifted to optimism about financing needs, tunnel work, and future expansion, with Amalgamated Copper and St Paul seeing strength while Canadian Pacific wavered.
