THE ROAD DON'T NEED RECEIVER,
And All the Reports About Defauited
Interest and Opposition Among Stock
holders to the Proposed New York
Entrance Is Mere Nonsense.

Tha stock spectators have not made
much of a showing for several weeks with
the New York and New England road,
but within few days they have made up
for oil delinquencies by giving the COM
mon stock pne OF the liveliest "rattlcs" it
has had for long time.
In week it has fallen from 30 to 20 and,
so far as outsiders can see, it was without
any reason. Yesterday it fell five points,
and the fall was accompanied by an un-
usual collection of rumors and reports.
Among the most prominent Of these
were the following: That there is party
sufficiently powerful in the ownership to
defeat the plan for the new entrance into
New York at the Stockholders IS meeting
on the 9th; that the January interest Is
to be defaulted; that Mr.. Mcleod and his
friends had sold out their holdings in the
stock, and, finally, that receiver was to
be appointed at once.
Unfortunately, with the presidents

very reticent man, the facilities for OBJ
tanning denials of these stories or expla-
nations thereon were not accessible yester-
day.
Enough was learned, however, from
various sources to justify the following
statements as probable:
There is, so far as is known or suspected
by the management, no disposition on the
part of any considerable body of stock
holders to oppose the plan for new en-
trance to New York city.
The January interest will be paid when
due.
Mr.. Mcleod has not sold a share of his
stock and does not intend to.
There is nothing in the condition OF the
road to justify rumor OF a receivership.
On the contrary, with the January interest
provided for, and S.Aoating debt consid-
erably less than its supplies in stock and
bills receivable, and steadily increasing
revenue in spite of the general business
depression, the roads operative indica-
tions are unusually favorable.
The explanation suggested by those
most familiar with the road in this city Is
that spectators have taken advantage OF
the close Of the stock books, the expected
interest payment, and the general business
depression to circulate "bear" runners, to
pretend to sell large amounts OF stock, and
then, after the stockholders meeting has
resulted favorably- and the interest has
been paid, TO pocket the profits of their
imposition upon the public.
II Is on old game, but one that never
fails to catch somebody when New York
and New England is the chosen instru-
ment.
