In Wall street the bear efforts this morning
were transferred to Richmond Terminal A
violent article in the Herald declares that the
company and the roads in its system are
losing money and piling up debts, while the
| declared dividends are far in excess of their
| net earnings. The statements caused q mild
sensation and the stock was raided down to
| 1917. Richmond Termiusl officials declared
the story queer tumble of false figures and
false statements. 1t gave only one side of the
case right through. For instance, it Diluted
| on the increase in the bonded indebtedness,
| but slu-red over the fact of corresponding
! increase Of mileage. This spirit peryaded the
| whole of ID. Its effect upon the market wGs
| tempered by the fact that for some weeks or
months il has been known that such All article
| was preparing.
General Alexander said The principal
charge advanced by the Herald against the
Georl i, Central is that the property last year
increased its bonded Obligations about
81 600 600. But it ignores entirely any re-
ference TO the property acquired by the in
creased obligations
Its anmus is clearly discernible in one Of
the head lines. Officials refuse 10 explain.
which is absolutely untrue, as numerous
verbal explanations we're made and according
to the Heralds own statement, Mr. Inman is
admitted to have said that he would make q
statement on his return to town next Tuesday
on condition that the story should be held
over till then.
