Baltimore and ohio's Trouble.

Baltimore, March 2.-The first effort of the Baltimore and Ohio receivership will be to enable the company to withhold payment of it's pressing obligations and to inaugurate the policy which President Cowen was about to start-general over hauling of rolling stock. This will be done in a thorough manner and will ex- tend to every locomotive and car that has not a maximum standard of efficiency. It is generally understood that the run down condition of the roads equipment has greatly impaired its earning capacity. Current receipts of the company will be used for this purpose. Today there is due interest and rental obligations from the Baltimore and Ohio company amount ing to $390,250. It was this obligation more than any other condition that forced the company into receivers hands. J. P. Morgan & Co. were willing to negotiate a loan for the pressing needs of the company but demanded conces- sions which Baltimore interests were not willing to grant. A New York firm made it a condition of the loan that it was to have either absolute control of the Balt!- more and Ohio property, such control to be secured to it through pooling of a majority of the stock into voting trust, to be placed in the firms hands for a term of years, or it was to direct the pol icy of the company through the board of directors To this end it demanded the retirement of certain members of the board their places to be taken by direct ors suggested by the firm, and no director unsa tisfactory to the firm to be admitted. The firm refused to recede from it's posi- ton, and with no other resource left in which to raise funds for current and pressing needs, the company was forced to the wall.
