MISSOURI PACIFIC
NOTES REJECTED
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. Refuse to
Finance S25.OOO.OOO
Obligations.

Kuhn. Loeb & Co. have rejected the
offer of the Missouri Pacific to take over
the financing of the $4,000. 900 notes of
that road which fall due on June I. The
announcement was made by the bankers
yesterday afternoon shortly after a special
meeting the Missouri Pacific directors.
called to consider the terms on which the
bankers had agreed to help the road meet
Its maturties. had been adjourned. The
refusal followed unwllingness on the part
of the Gould interests to comply with the
ultimatum delivered by the bankers as the
only terms on which they would come to
the roads assistance.
member of Kuhn. Loeb & Co. in
making the announcement said that an
examination of the property had been
made for the firm by j. +. Stevens. an
engineering expert. II also was said that
letter written by the bankers To the
railroad explained in detail the reasons
why the bankers would not agree to
undertake the financing. Tho letter will
not be made public until Monday
II was the. belief OF the financial district
that the purpose in withholding the letter
was To give the directors of the railroad
chance to reconsider their decision
Provided they agree 10 meet the bankers
terms within that time II Is believed tina,
Kuhn. Loeb Co. may yet come to their
assistance. II also will give the Gould
interests the opportunity TO devise some
other method OF meeting the s25 900 900
:,ut,s II they can. as well as enabling
them To make overtures to other bankers
II j. said on good authority that George
J. Gould personally holds about s2.5o0. 200
OF the notes himself and IL is believed
that other members of the Gould family
hold substantial amounts.
Yesterdays development marked an.
other climax in the affairs OF the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad Company for the
last two months During that time the
turnover In the stock. which heretofore
has been on the inactive list, has been
enormous averaging from 20 900 TO Go. 00O
shares a day In the meantime Missouri
Pacific stock has declined from rs to 1b$
II closed yesterday at l7N. but this was
previous TO the announcement. After the
close OF tho Stock Exchange Missouri

dated Exchange at Is. with no bids.
