Il. NEW YORK, Sept. s.2Two ac-
lions seeking to recover 100000
from the Continental Trust Com
,pany, Of Baltimore, were begun in
the United States Circuit Court here
to-day. The suits were brought by
the Central National Bank Of New
York, in liquidation, and the Mer-
chants Trust Company of New York.
The first named complainants seeks
to recover the sum Of 100000,
which 1t paid as a subscriber to the
underwriting syndicate Of the United
States Cotton Duck Corporation
The Merchants Trusts Company
asks Judgment for 100000, which
1t likewise paid on subscription
to the same syndicate. The COM
plainants allege that the defendant
company IN promoting the United
States Cotton Duck Corporation used
false, fraudulent and decettful rep
representations to induce them to
subscribe to It's underwriting syndi-
cate, with an intent to deceive and
Idefraud'' them.
According to the two complaints
the defendant in 1899 undertook to
promote the Mount Vernon and
woodbury. Cotton Duck Company,
and issued for the latter So, 50O,6 600
of its stock to purchase certain cot
ton duck manufacturing plants in
Mount Vernon. Baltimore, LAUREL

berry Cotton Duck Company the
complainant also claims. was insol-.
vent, and its stock and bonds, with
the exception Of It's first mortgage
bonds, were OF little or no market
able value, all OF which facts, 1t Is
contended, were we'll known to the
defendant corporation.
The charge Is then made that the de-
PENDANT, to enable 1t to Sell the stock
OF the Mount Vernon and Woodbury.
Cotton Duck Company, formed O new cor
poration, known as the United States
Cotton Duck Corporation, which was 70

quire additional cotton duck manufactur-
ing plants at Manchester New Hamp-

Issued stock to the value OF $4,000. 00o
The total value Of the combined plants It
was proposed to take into the new cor,
poration did not at any time, the COM.
,plaInants declare, exceed the sum o.

BILE OF earning more than $4,000 per an

The complainants allege that they we're
induced to invest in this new corporation
on the strength Of a printed statement
issued by the defendant, which purported
to show that the new corpora ton was
capable OF earning profits sufficient TO
pay all fixed charges and dividends on
its $5o00O.00o issue OF stock. The COM
platnants characterize the printed state
nlent as false. fraudulent and deceit
