MERCANTILE MARINE
is $S,OOO,OOO RICHER
Accountants for Stockholders
Find Assets Not Known
OF Before.
TALK OF BIG SURPLUS

Developments of great interest to the
stockholders of the International Mer-
camille Marine Company were reported
yesterday. Accountants for the Wallace
committee for the preferred stock holders
and the DE Forest committee for the
common stock holders have been going
over the books OF the company for two
weeks. In the curse of their investiga-
tons of the minutes Of the board of di-
rcctors and OF the financ committee
they found. 1t was said, assets Of be-
tween $4,000, 900 and 9.000. 900, which
the two committees did not know Of pre-
%viously. This is said to have convinced
the committees that the preferred stock
holders are entitled to share very sub
s~tantially in the exchange of old securi-
ties for new In any reorganization plan.
II Is asserted that the company had
about $4,000, 900 cash on hand when de-
fault was mad upon the interest on the
~ per cent bonds. II Is further re-
ported that at the close OF the fiscal
year on December 80 the company will
show earnings In excess OF all charges
a~ggregating approximately S27, 1000. 900.
Assistant Secretary Haddock of the New
York Trust Company when he made the
announcement for the Barnard bond
holders committee on June 30 said that
the earnings of the company In SIX
months were at the rate OF vi, ,ooO
net. Since then the earnings OF the COM
pany have greatly increased. This gain
has been due to the high freight rates
paid owing to the scarcity OF ships and
also to large payments by the British
Government for the use OF the company's
ships as transports.
The assets OF the company found
through the investigation of the ac-
countants are said TO be railroad bonds
and other securities.
The Wallace preferred stockholders
committee is contendlng that the bond
holders OF the company should not re-
ceive ans 4 the stock OF the new COM
parry which Is TO be formed through the
reorganization. II II said that the COM
mittec admits that the ~bondholders are
entitled to the new bonds. dollar for
dollar, plus interest, but that their right
to participate ceases at that point In
other words. such new preferred or rom
mon stock as may he created should go
only to the holders Of the old preferred
and common stock. The various stock
holders committees are said TO have
been making considerable progress. IL
Is said that a formal and favorable an
nouncemeut regarding their investiga-
tons will s1on he made.
Notice has been issued to the stock
holders of the International Mercantile
Marine Company by the committee. OF
which James y. Wallace Of the Central
Trust Company is chairman. that the
committee has secured the support OF a
large amount OF the preferred stock. The
committee urged that additional de-
! posts be made promptly.
