Morgan firm weighs aid to Rock Island in reorganization
Wall Street reports J P Morgan & Co considers lending a helping hand in reorganizing the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railway under receivers. Henry P Davison would not confirm or deny plans for a 60 million assessment on stockholders and mortgage foreclosure. A new Minneapolis and St. Louis plan would tax stockholders to cover 2.5 million notes due February 1, with per share payments and penalties for nonpayment. The second New York Cotton Exchange seat sold for 17 500, an advance of 500. Steel dividend meeting next week raises expectations of resumed payments but cautious mood persists after Gary interview about industrial expansion.
