RECEIVERS TO DRAW FUNDS.
Orders Granted in Merchants Trust
Case in New York.

ALBANY. n. Y, August 26.-Orders were
granted by Justice Cochrane today direct
ing the Morton Trust Company, with which
are deposited the assets OF the Merchants
Trust Company of New York, to permit
the receivers of that company to draw
funds to enable them to pay the depositors
a G5 per cent dividend. The receivers.
Douglas Robinson and the New York Trust
Company, had already been authorized to
declare a 70 per cent dividend and au-
thorfty for the additional dividend of %
per cent was obtained today.
A motion. which was strongly contested,
was made by James Farrell and certain
other depositors to compel the receivers to
sell to the highest bidder S61 bonds, referred
to as the Rutland and Hudson Valley Sc
curities. The petitioners contend that the
receivers are holding these securities for
the purpose of reorganizing the railroads
and that such a proceeding Is speculative
and dangerous
The Hudson Valley Railway Company
asked for contrary order directing the
receivers to retain the bonds until March,

collateral falls due.
