TO REORGANEE
SHIPYARD Trust
Will Probably Affect the Har-
Ian and Hollingsworth
Company
DISCUSSION OF A RECEIVERSHIP

Stockholders Have Not Yet Decided
Upon a Definite Scheme of Recon-
struction-considerins Plans to Bet
ter Its Finances.
According to a high authority plans
are being considered by stockholders
and bondholders of the United States
Shipbuilding Company, of which the
Harlan and Hollingsworth Company is
part, and of which Lewis Nixon is
president, which, if successfully work.
ed out, will result in a reorganization
of the finances of that company.
What effect this viii have on the
management of the local concern is
not known. It has been very success
full since going into the trust, plenty of
orders being on hand.
Yesterday there was a furry in its
stock, the first fives selling at 55 and
the second fives at 40.
Various expedients to place the COM
pany on a better financial footing have
been informally discussed, but as YET
it has not been decided if it will bt
necessary to place the company in &
receivers hands in order to carry ou
the plans suggested. In some quarters
it is definitely stated that if a majorit,
of the stock and bond holders can bt
obtained to support one of the PLAN
suggested the reorganization can be ef
fected without the usual receivershil
proceedings.
Attention was directed in Wall stree
yesterday to the poor condition of tn
market for its securities by the col
lapse in the price Of the first mortgag
five per cent. sinking fund gold bond
= to $3.50 a bond, the par value of whic
a is $1,000. Recently the preferred stoc
= of the shipyard combination sold q
s So IA share at public auction, and o
l the same day the common stock sol
a at 81 a share. The par value of thes
: shares is 500.
! On the Stock Exchange, where tn
?, securities are listed, 81 was bid for Il
common stock and SO was asked, ,whi
for the preferred, SO was bid and s.
asked. Ever since the securities hay
been listed there has been practical
" no market for either the stocks or II
a bonds, and the absurd prices offers
J. for the securities have created a va
t. amount of unfavorable comment.
re 1t was stated yesterday by a Wa
se street banker, who represents a synd
g. cate owning at least S4,00O,0OO of Il
h first mortgage bonds of the Shipyai
s, Trust, that q reorganization was il
Id evitable. s>iTEffgFE
IS It is pointed out that in the case
IS the shipyard combination it will be
comparatively easy matter to arran

securities Of the company are still he
in first hands, for, as has been point
out, the market for the securities h
been exceedingly small.
