BUYS VI. N. BONDS.
New York Bankers Acquire Holdings
of German Capitalists.

The way for an early reorganization OF
the Western Maryland Railroad has been
paved by the purchase by Blair & Co.
Of New York, Of the S4OC90G0 first mort
gage : per cent bonds OF the company.
formerly held by the Deutsche Bank Of
Germany. as collateral for a S.e09o0a
loan.
These bonds were sold at public sale
when the market price declined below
the amount Of the loan, and were bid in
by the bank at a price which left a de-
hciency against the loan OF about $500. 600
The hank then brought suit against the
Western Maryland TO recover the amount
Of the deficiency. This suit. it is under
stood. viii be discontinued.
It IS understood that the Deutsche
Bank viii. as a result OF its arrange
ment with Blair & Co, receive an amount
equal TO the total OF its $3.0o0000 loan
and a reasonable amount in excess OF
that figure. presumably by way Of COM
pensation Cor the delay in the repayment
Of the loan
AS a matter Of fact. the price OF the
bonds has advanced sharply since the
time when the Deutsche Bank bid in its
100000 lot al IS. and this block Of bonds
is now worth at present market prices
considerably more than the loan which
the bank made 10 the railroad
The litigation growing out of this loan
included. besides the suit Of the bank for
a deficiency judgment. suit by the re-
ceiver Of the Western Maryland against
the DeutsChe Bank to have set aside the
public sale Of the bonds
To the latter action the banks repre-
sentative demurred. and in a recent de-
cisiOn in the United States courts this
demurrer was upheld. although this case
was kept open in connection with an
other phase OF the question at issue
The arrangement made between the
Deutsche Bank and Blair & Co. IS ex-
pected TO expedite the reorganization Of
the property, the settlement removing the
