SMELTERS HAS A
NEW SYNDICATE.
Kuhn. Loeb & Co., Announce Extern
sion of Old Underwriting
Sixty Per Cent Sold.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Notices
have been sent out by Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. that a second syndicate has been
formed to hold and distribute the
balance of the unsold stock of the
American Shelters Securities Com
pany. The original syndicate has ex-
pired. and it appears that the syndi-
cat manager have disposed of about
go per cent. of the entire amount Of
stock. The new syndicate, it issun-
derstood, will acquire the unsold
stock at 80.
II. will be recalled that Kuhn, Loeb
& Co. bought approximately $25,5OO,-
600 preferred B stock of the Amerl-
can Shelters Securities Company,
which pays interest at the rate Of 5
per cent. This rate is guaranteed by
the American Smelling and Refining
Company, which holds the stock OF
the securities corporation.
1t was learned yesterday that. the
syndicate managers have been able to
distribute about SIS, 100000 of the
amount they bought. This would
leave $4,000 to be taken up or dis
tributed among the syndicate particl-
pants, or about 40 per cent. of the
syndicate Obligations. According to
statements made yesterday, it was
deemed advisable to form another
syndicate to extend the work of the
old one and prevent large blocks of
securities preferred B stock from
coming on the market-an occur
renee which invariably develops af-
ter the dissolution of a syndicate of a
similar character.
An offer has been made to syndi-
cate participants by the new syndicate
managers to buy the unsold stock at
80, at which price there would be 4
profit of l per cent. This stock will
thus be removed from the market. An
offer is also made of cash at 90 for
stock of syndicate participants who
wish to close out their transactions.
