NEW YORK. October 7.-tSpeciaL)-
There is much grumbling over the delay
certificates of the Southern railway. and
were it not that special efforts are being
made to facilitate the transfer Of GER
tihcates so stamped that have been sold.
much annoyance would be caused. as as
sentfng shares are not q now good de-
livery. Within very short time. posi-
bly, in day or so. these stamped certfti-
Gates will be listed, and then they will
be good delivery.
Meanwhile. the holder of a stamped

that The physical appearance ct the GER
tif1cates had been changed. 1t Was adj
mftted that the ruling was strictly cor

The first circular requesting holders o,
voting trust certificates. who asstnted to
the plan 70 continue the voting trust, to
might be stamped accordingly was
issued on August 9th. OF course. tho
ruling that certificates Were not good
week later. but application to list was
promptly made thereafter. so that there
is no doubt that application will be
granted shortly. The time for depositing
the stock under the terms given in the
circular expired on September 18th. but
it has since been extended. IT was an.
nounced at the expiration OF the first
period that ma tority of the outstanding
stock had assented to the plan At the
present time more than TWO thirds of tho
stock has been presented for stamping.
and there Is little doubt that more than
70 per cent will have siSniffed their APP
prevail of the plan before the final an.
nouncement is made.
it may be taken for granted that the
wishes of the stockholders have been
formally determined that .the voting
trust will be extended In accordance with
terms already announced. and that then
the directors will declare dividend on
the preferred stock. action on wlirn has

the stockholders wishes.
