The new collateral trust of the Richmond
Terminol Company, the Wall Street NelUs
says, does not differ materially from that
which IS already in existence, except that it
has more stock and bonds. The NelCs adds:
"A very considerable percentage Of the Sc
curlties which are pledged are paying regu-
lar interest and dividends, still they are all
increasing in value, and there is every
reason to suppose that the income from
these securities will show considerable in
crease before long. 1t is known that the
first issue has been considerably over
subscribed, and the present collateral trust
will probably be paid off entirely very soon.
1t is quite apparent that the relations
between the Richmond Terminal and
Mr.. Gould's Southwestern system are
going to be more intimate. Mr.. Gould
has taken a very considerable interest
in Memphis and spent considerable sum
of money to protect the Interests of his
Iron Mountain lines in that city. 1t was
announced some time ago that Mr.. Gould
held II 900 or $4,000 shares of the Rich
mond Terminal stock, and it was also re-
ported that George Gould was going into
the board. 1t is significant That Vice
President Smith, of the Louisville and
Nashville, has gone into the Texas Pacific
board, which is now more of a Gould
board than ever, and this certainly sug-
gests that the relations between the Rich
mond Terminal, Louisville and Nashville
and the Gould system will not be inhar-
monious"
