The Cleveland Plain Dealer of Tues

efforts of the firm of Tucker, Anthony

Traction company holdings to unite
them with the Canton and Akron and
Canton -Massillon lines:
Another meeting of those interested
in settling up the affairs of the Ever

tee rooms. Several of those interest
ed in the purchase of the Northern
Ohio Traction company were present
and Horace Andrews presented his re-
port Of the conditioner the proper
ties which was favorable A difficulty
has been encountered, however, be-
cause Of the fact that the syndicate
wants to get control of more stock
than is represented by the Everett
Moore holdings. A plan is on foot
looking towards the consolidation Of
the Northern Ohio Traction company
with the Canton C Massillon line. To
effect this something like two-thirds
of the Northern Ohio Traction COM
pany stock is required. This is not
covered by the Everett-Moore hold'
ings. No definite arrangement could
be made on this point at yesterdays
meeting, which adjourned with moth
ing positive accomplished. On this
point Fl. r. Newcomb said:
I'VE cannot tell just how the mat
ter will end"
Several deals concerning some of the
subsidiary telephone companies of the
Federal company are about closed.
Statements of these deals are being
withheld pending the final signing Of
the papers.

THE STOCKHOLDERS
In the Canton and East Liver
pool Project Made Money
--line Will Soon BE
Built.

An appropriation of $4,000 900 has
been made ny the Baltimore & Ohio
railway company for improvements
upon the Cleveland division, which Is
composed of the Valley and the Cleve-
land, Lorain & Wheeling. The great.
er part of the work Is now being
done upon the c., L. & W., the grade
being changed SO as to permit the
hauling of heavier trains.
The c., l.. & w. is the best paying
freight line in the entire b. & D. sys-
TEN, and for that reason it is being
taken care of first. 1t is the intention
of the company, however, to make
some improvements on the Valley
which runs through Canton, and the
completion of the southern extension
is possible. Since the company has Sc
cured the c., L. & W., and the right of
way between Canton and East Liver
pool, some doubt is expressed as to the
building of the southern division of
the Valley.
What Canton is more directly intes-
ested in is the building of the line to
East Liverpool. Those who are con-
versant with the plans Of the b. & o.
company say that work on this con-
ucCiu6 iihh Will peSiH oOUI. All tHe
surveys have been made and turned
over to the new purchasers.
The plan for building the line be-
tween the two cities was first evolved
in the minds of certain Canton and
East Liverpool men, who interested
others In the scheme. The route was
such desirable one that these men
put up their own money for the sur
veys, which were made by Captain
Harry Frease and others.
4 Their wisdom was shown by the
fact that when they were ready to
sell the b. e. o. company was ready
to pay them SO for 81 invested. II is
said that several electrical companies
were trying to purchase the rights
held by the local people, and when the
b. & O. people discovered II, they were
willing to purchase. Shares that cost
$50 each were sold for SITS.
The stockholders were as follows:
Col. John N. Taylor, w. L. Smith,
Jos. G. Lee, w. NJ Harker, ID. r. Nc
,Nicol, T, G. Forster, Homer Laughlin,
H. A. McNicol, w. w. Harker, II. A..

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Feb. 24-The stock market
sank back into the professional traders
hands today and there was no important
movement except in a few stocks Of small
Ter railroads not allied TO any of the great
systems and in some minor industrials.
The declines established for American
stocks in London since the close here on
Friday afternoon had to be faced at the
opening. This caused a lower level at
first than on last Friday, but prices were
at no time down TO London parity and
they soon began TO recover. in spite of the
selling on arbitrage on London account at
the advance. The confidence that the su-
preme court would refuse jurisdiction in
MinnerOta's suit against the Northern Sc
curities company, which has been firmly
held in Wall Street. for three weeks was
unimpaired this morning and the traders
did some of their buying on that basis
The announcement OF the decision by the
court failed TO attract any outside demand
and the efforts of the traders 70 take their
profits caused reaction in the market
and easy closing. The decision Of the
administration to push the case against
the Northern Securities company deprived
the other suit of much of its Importance.
The bond market showed some degree Of
frmness but business was not large eX-
