PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION.
Eastern shore Railroad and Chop
tank and Maryland Steam
boat Lines.

Negotiations are now pending with the
object OF consolidating the Baltimore and
Eastern Shore Railroad with the Chop
tank and Maryland Steamboat Compan-
les IN one corporation. II is generally
believed that the deal has fair prospect
of successful elimination. The B BlltImore
Trust and Guarantee Company has con
sented To act ms trustee for general
mortgage of 81 ,OO0. 900 ON the consolida-
ted properties If the movement should be
successful. Mortgage bonds To this amount
hearing per cent. intrest. are proposed
To be issued by the new transportation
company which is To he formed, and il is
expected 10y those who are engineering
the consolidation To float these bonds by
subscription in this market. II is said
that while no option has been secured on
the stock Of the steamboat companies
concerned, an understanding has been
reached as Ia the price at which this
stock can be bought whenever the per
sons interested are in a position TO pur.
chase. Those who are conducting the
negotiations say that nothing definite has
yet been settled, and that the affairs are
now in such a position as TO he settled
or declared off at any time A final dccis-
ion is expected to be reached within the
next ten days.
This consolidation. If effected. will give
the company an almost practical control
of the carrying trade between Baltimore
and points on the Eastern Shore. The
two steamboat companies named are well
equipped with steamers. and each has
built up IA lucrative trade in the territory
il covers. The Maryland Steamboat Com
pany also has route on the Western
Shore, part Of which, il is said will he
abolished If the pending deal goes
through.
The Baltimore and Eastern Shore Rail
road is now in the hands of receiver.
under whose directions il is operated
The masters report of the affairs and
condition Of the road is now before Judge

more and well probably be acted upon
before conclusive action toward consoli-
dation is effected. Some preiminaries
regarding the bonds of the railroad com
pany also remain to be settled before the
deal can he Closed The bonded indebted
ness of this road is about 81 100000, the
interest on which the road is in default.
If the consolidation is effected il is said
the holders of these bonds will submit To
scaling of their par value.
