TRUST WATERS
SUGAR STOCK
New Amalgamated Company
Starts With Inflated Capital.
ALLY OF UTAH IN CONTROL
INVESTORS STUDYING EFFECT
OF TRUSTS POLICY.

TN the contamination of the deal
whereby the sugar trust has caused
the merging Of the Logan, Ogden
and La Grande, Ore, beet sugar prop
critics into one company TO be known
as the AmaIgamated Sugar company,
and the taking by the trust of 81 per
cent OF the new stock, the local invest
ors in commercial securities have found
tbs chief event of interest of the week.
The details of the transaction have
been published. and now investors are
beginning TO estimate the worth of the
new shares. which, as is evident. are
not free from watering On this ac-
count il is believed that many of the
holders VIII unload at the fancy prices
offered for the control and decline 10
reinYest.
According to the arrangement which
has been perfected by David Eccles,
the largest individual holder of shares
In the Ogden, Logan and La Grande
companies, and by Manager T. r. Cut
Ter, the resident representative of the
Havemeyer or trust interests. the
shareholders have until next Saturday
TO either sell half Of their holdings TO
the trust at $3.50 a share for Ogden
stock, $50 for Logan and 1928 for La
Grande, or to take three shares of
Anaigamated stock (two Of preferred
and one of common) for each $3.50 Of
stock held in the old concerns
The fact that s., 600, 600 out of the au-
thOrized capital OF 81. 000, coo is to be
issued in carrying out the plan of pass
ing control to the sugar trust prop
critics, which can be duplicated, experts
say, for half the sum named, and that
matters seem 10 be progressing 20 the
point where the Utah Sugar company
now controlled by the trust through a
local board of directors, will be alb
sorbed by the new Amalgamated COM
pany, is moving many Of the sharehoid-
ers 70 sell out without reinvesting in
sugar, as many Of the sellers OF Utah
company's shares did u few months
ago.
In the opinion of investors, the pre-
ferred shares of the Amaigamated will
be worth on the market from $50 TO
par. and the common stock from $50 to
SO, according TO the voting power
named in the stock certificates and the
guaranty of dividends to the common
stock.
1t is estimated that at least $3.50 600
viii be paid out within the next few
days to holders of the three classes of
sugar stock for what they may sell to
the trust. and the influx of this new
money will probably have a further
stimulating effect on the local invest
ment market, on other classes of Sc
curities, however.
The payment Of dividends last week
resulted in the price Of many of the
fayorite stocks falling to the place they
occupy in the estimation of investors
at the close Of each dividend period
Transactions were in fair volume at the
usual stiff prices.
