It Is reported to-day that a complete
understanding has been reached at last

and the new United States Cordage Com
pany.

ton Committee.

rest all the ruinors that have been
floating around Wall street for the last
ten days to the effect that there vas
trouble and dissatisfaction in the new
Company. Some. Of the rumors were
that President Keppler was to resign
at the next meeting: that j. j. OnDono-
hue a to withdraw all his connection
with the new Company. AMI hat the
new concern had been forced to make
overtures To the John Good Company.
All these reports are declared to be
untrue.

South Ill and unable to take active in
terest in the direction OF the affairs

a member of the directory, snd still re-
tains all his interest in the concern. Mr..
Thalman positively denied that any over
lures Of any kind had been made to the
John Good Company, or that such were
contemplated.
1t was not denied. howe-.ar. that GER
tain changes are contemplated in the
Board OF Directors. and that there may
be some designations. the places thus
vacated to be filled with the presidents
OF certain banks in this city holding
large amounts Of cordage paper.

not admit or deny that some sort OF a
