READING REORGANIZATI
Details of the Plan Are Given to
the puhIic.


NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The official
plan of reorganizat ton of the Reading
system was published simultaneously
in this city and London today. 1t is
signed by Messrs. j. p. Morgan & Co.,
of New York; DreXel & Co., of Phila
delphia, and ]. S. Morgan. & Co., of
London. 1t is declared in the preamble
that unless the acceptance of the plan
is general the properties of the exist
ing companies will be sold and sue
ceSSor companies organized under the
laws of Pennsylvania, and the stocks
and bonds of these successor compa-
nies will be vested in a new company,
formed or to be formed under the laws
of Pennsylvania or of some other state.
The plan has been prepared on the as
sumption that foreclosure will proba-
bly, be necessary. 1t provides for the
issue of $114,G00000 general mortgage
100-year per cent gold bonds; SOS, 000,-
600 non-cumulative first preferred
stock; 81, ,OO00O per cent non-cumu-
lative second preferred stock and $70,-
100000 of common stock. The mort
gage will provide further for the issue,
if found desirable, of additional bonds
secured thereby (not exceeding $2l ,00O,-
000) to meet the outstanding Reading
terminal bonds and coal and iron
bonds. The stock is assessed 20 per
cent and deferred incomes 4 per cent.
The assessments are payable in four
equal installments, at least thirty days
apart. The first inStallment of one
fourth of the entire amount must be
paid on or before Jan. 10, 1896. A
syndicate guarantees the extension,
prepayment of about $2O,00O00O of i'm
provement mortgage and coal and iron
company bonds, most of which will
mature within the next two years. The
annual fixed charges of the new COM
pany will be about $9,300,000.

time could use more box cars if avail
able. 1.-The first bad rush is over"
said one of the officials of this line
yesterday, although the movement
of grain still continues to terminal
points. The business is now in
more normal condition, although the
big crop on this line is sufficient to
keep all our cars busy. Most of the
wheat now being shipped is coming
from the fertile Red river valley,
and will no doubt be coming in for at
least two or three months. There
is usually lull in shipments about
this season, but as yet We have not
experienced it this year We are al
most up to the car orders for ship
ments of wheat to market"
General Freight Agent S. l.. Moore
of the Northern Pacific. said that his
line had gotten through the critical
period without any serious delay in
getting grain shipped in to market
points. 1.-The movement this year has
been considerably greater than that
year ago. he said, although it is by
no means as heavy as it was thirty

have had little cause for dissatsfac-
ton, other than occasional slight de-
lays in getting cars to where they
were most needed. There has been no
distress, no shortage of cars, and we
expect no trouble until next year,
when 1 fully expect we will have,
barring unforeseen accidents, even
bigger crop than that which has been
harvested this fall. The crop this
year has been materially increased by
the yield from the far West, Wash

The Omaha people say that business
is comparatively quiet and has been
so for the past week. Usually it is
said business falls off between day
or two before Christmas and the first
week in the new year, but the Omaha
officials say they are unable to trace
the dullness to this cause. A general
sluggishness in the markets caused by
the present unreasonable weather con-
tributes, in their opinion, to the lack
of the usual amount of traffic. This
applies not only to grain, but to- fuel
and other commodities which are usu-
ally in transit at this season of the
year.
