NEW PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD ,t,. STOCK,
Issue of s19OOO.OOO for Improvement
 Purposes.

Issue of $13,OOO,O0O for Improvement | Purposes.
 Philadelphia, Dec 13-The board of directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad l company at a meeting to-day author ized the allotment of stock at par for 10 per cent. of the holdings of the stockholders as they stand registered on Tuesday, December 26. Payment is to be made in full between the 14th and
 goth of January 1900, at which latter date the privilege will cease. Receipts bearing per cent. will be issued until May 1, when new certificate will be is- sued and carry a dividend. Both the
 allotment and receipts for payment hereunder are negotiable.
 This will increase the capital stock of the company by about $13,0O0,0O0,
 which sum will be used to meet the construction and equipment expendit- ures during the year 1900. There has been no allotment for nearly ten years, when the privilege was given the stock holders of subscribing for per cent. of their holdings. Since then two scrip dividends have been declared. one for 3 per cent. in 1891, and another for per cent. in 1893.
 The circular was worded as follows:
 ITO the stockholders of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad company:
 "The board of directors at their meet ing this date authorized an increase of 10 per cent. in the capital stock of the company. Stockholders will be entitled to subscribe at par between December 27, 1899, and January 20, 1900 at which latter date the privilege will cease, for such increase of stock on their respect i've holdings as shown upon the books of the company at the close of busi- ness December 26, 1899.
 Payment for this stock must be made in full at the office of the treas- urer by January 20, and may be made after January IA, 1900, for which pay ment receipts will be given with entry thereon of interest from January 2O at the rate of 70 cents per share to May 1, 1900 when the new stock will com mence to carry dividends
 The action was complete surprise to Wall street, and was followed by a rise of 2 S-S points in Pennsylvania stock, though ti receded later; the rise being due to the fact that the old shares ilow sell at 13S, making valuable the privilege of subscribing to new stock at par. This action of the company, fol- lowing the similar action of the New York Central, was taken to indicate ob- jection among large interests in the eastern railways to the plan of charging new equipment and Improvements to ting expenses.
