Reading road by this transaction. The lease
was made 70 the Port Reading Railroad SUBJ
sidiary property of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad with an idea of placing the coal
producing and carrying interests a
stable foundation. The Reading company and
its leased lines at that time represented cap
ttal OF Se00.0o0.0O0, earning s60.0o0.00o year.
according 20 President NcLeod's published
statement.
The Reading company was at this moment
practically in control OF the Lehigh Valley. the
New-Jersey Central, and, through the latter, Of
the Susquehanna road, Of the Lehigh Navigation
Company Fully rs per cent OF the competitive
anthracite coal traffic Of Pennsylvania was un-
der fits control IL was one Of the most inapor-
tant combinations known 70 Wan Street Cor
years. A great boom Of anthracite stocks
marked the announcement of the lease. The
total transactions OF the day were ga2,7 74O
shares. Of which Reading contributed 4303T9

shares Reading stocks rose nearly per cent,
and closed with an advance of G per cent.
On August %. 1892 six months later, the
lease was declared Illegal and was subsequently
cancelled, the New-Jersey Central resuming con-
troll Of it's lines. Chancellor McGill gave the
long expected decision, granting a preliminary
injunction restraining the New-Jersey Central
and the Port Reading railroads from operating
together under the lease entered into in Febru-
ary. The Port Reading road was forbidden to
operate the New-Jersey Central because the
lease had been made in defiance OF expressly
prohibitory statute.
The news of the ruptured combination arrived
here too late in the day for Wall Street TO
measure its market value. On the following
day, however, there great confusion in the
Stock Exchange Many different prices were
made by sellers and buyers Of Reading stock
at the same moment. Sixty-ilve thousand eight
hundred shares were exchanged before the ex-
citement subsided.
Even Independently operated, the Reading has
always dominated the anthracite coal trade. In
1899 for instance. out of 47.e65203 tons of hard
coal shipped to the mines. the Reading lines car
ried 9eS3 5o3. the next largest shipper being the
Lehigh Valley. with 7.5Ss932 tons. The Central
Of New-Jerssy shipped 5,392550 tons, these
three companies thus carrying 23.665,000 tons
OF the total output, or about 90 per cent.

j. prERPoNr MORGAN 81. C. FAHNEsFocK

While the Lehigh Valley has been virtually
Morgan property ever since ]. p. Morgan g. Co.
and Drexel & Co. took their option on the
10000 shares of the company's stock owned by
the Packer estate, it is nevertheless thought
probable that Mr. Morgan may deem il advis-
able 10 bring this property also into closer rela-
tons with Reading which he has controlled for
several years. by arranging for the purchase by
the Reading of a controlling interest in the
Lehigh Valley. as IL is now purchasing the
Central Of New-Jersey. The Erie Railroad
Company, which also operates the New-York
Susquehanna and Western. is without doubt a
Morgan property. and its Importance in the
anthracite field has recently been greatly in
creased by the purchase by J. p. Morgan 6, Co.
for its account Of the Pennsylvania Coal Com
pany, stroke which also made decidedly for
the benefit Of all the so-called coal roads The
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western is con-
trolled by Vanderbilt and First National Bank
interests both friendly TO the projects Of Mr..
Morgan; and the Ontario and Western and the
Delaware and Hudson, runors OF coming alli-
ance between which are beginning 20 be heard
in Wall Street, are also in sympathy with his
far reaching and long conceived plans for es-
tablishing permanent and profitable harmony
among all the anthracite producing and carrying
roads Thus the way seems open at last for the
Sseatiol al no distant Gay or a single agency
for the disposal of all the coal mined by all the
railway companies reaching the anthracite
region.
There was much speculation yesterday after
noon in Wall Street TO the position of the
Baltimore ana Ohio. now that IL has lost the
opportunity of acquiring for itself terminal ia
eilities' at the port OF Nesv-York But the best
opinion seemed TO be that with Mr. Hill in
Intimate association with Mr.. Morgan in the
Northwest as well as In the Erie management
there was no great danger OF action ininlical TO
the interests OF the Baltimore and Ohio, Of
which also Mr.. Eill is leading and influential
director, being taken as outcome of the move
by which the Reading has secured control of the

TALK ABOUT THE PRESIDENCY
Philadelphia, Jan. 5.--"The Evening Tele-
graph to-day says:
In connection with the offering Of the New
Jersey Central Railroad TO the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway Company ii is asserted that
j. Rogers Maxwell president of the, New-Jersey
Central. Is 20 succeed President Harris of the
Philadelphia and Reading Company, and win
assume the management OF the two roads
Nice-President VOORHEES,, the authority
has 1t, is TO assume direct charge OF the man
2gement OF the Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
way end
The significance Of the entire deal in addition
"s anthracite coal output connection, lies IN
New-York tribune., 1901-01-06

the fact that the Philadelphia and Reading Com
pany gains its Jersey City and New-York
terminals while the Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany must use leased lines or be operated over
the Pennsylvania system. Another end of it is
the talked Of through connection with the West
and those who are best posted are of the opinion
that the next move OF the Morgan interests will
be TO acquire the Buffalo. Rochester and Pitts
burg Railroad. which is the connecting link be-
tween the Philadelphia and Reading and the
Western trunk lines.
Additional confirmation Of the deal was given
here tonight by a member of the Executive
Committee OF the Board Of Directors OF the
Reading company. who further said that the
directors OF the cou1pany would meet on Mon
day officially to complete the purchase and ar
range for the formal transfer of the Jersey
Central stock to its new owners. Payment for
the Jersey Central stock purchase will be made
by the Reading company by means OF low rate
interest bearing collateral trust bonds. the pur-
chase stock 70 be the basis upon which such
bonds will be issued by the Rec ling company.
Just what rate of interest these bonds will bear
or the amount that will be issued to cover the
purchase are matters Of detail that are likely
TO be completed at the meeting Of the Reading
directors on Monday.
The announcement OF the deal was accompa-
MED by various rumors concerning the future
management OF these two great railroad proper
ties, especially as to the executive head Of the

two companies. While 1t is not definitely known
that any change win be made in the executive
management of the New-Jersey Central on Mon
day. Street rumors have IL that IL will not be
surprising to find that ]. Rogers Maxwell. presi-
dent of the Central Of New-Jersey, had ten
dered his resignation. and that Joseph S. Harris
president of the Reading Company, had been
elected his successor
Asked concerning the rumors that Mr. Max
well would continue as the president of the
Jersey Central and would also succeed Mr. Har-
ris as president Of the Reading Company a
prominent director of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway Company said tonight: 'It
is hardly likely that Mr.. Maxwell, having dis
posed OF his stock, would care TO retain the
presidency Of the Jersey Central: and, further
more. there is no truth in the rumor concerning
Mr.. Harrs's retirement"
AS TO THE LEHIGH VALLEY
1t is reported that in all likelihood the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company will also become part
Of the Reading system. and in case 1t does it
will not be by lease but by purchasing con-
trolling interest in the property. This interest,
IL is believed. has now been secured as II was
tonight officially announced by z. T. Stotes-
bury, member Of the Drexel firm, that Drexel
& Co.. have purchased the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road Companys stock which has been held by
the estate OF Asa Packer and Lehigh University.
More than two years ago the Packer estate bor-
rowed S2,27O.0OO from Drexei & Co.. and put up
as collateral 10000 shares Of Lehigh Valley
stock and large number OF shares Of Beth
lehem Iron stock. Shortly afterward the Beth
lehem Iron stock was sold and the trustees
received from the sale S1.95o.000, which left the
estate still indebted to Drexel g. Co. for $500 600
Seventy-fve thousand shares OF Lehigh Valley
stock were subsequently bought by Mr.. Nor
gan, the estate receiving 81 100000 which gave
It credit Of S11000G0. besides 10000 shares of
Lehigh Valley stock.
IT is now SAID that all of this stock has been
purchased, and as the estate had about 10000
shares Of Lehigh Valley stock, all of this is now
controlled by the Morgan interests. 1t is un-
derstood, however. that the latter transactions
were effected in NewYorl by j. p. Morgan &
! Co. While nothing has been said in regard to
/ the Lehigh Navigation Company it is believed
/ that this company will also become part of the
/ Reading The railroad which it owns is leased
