sign WABASH PLAN
OF REORGANIZATION
Committee Representatives
and Bankers Arrange to
Raise S27,72O,OOO.
ROADS EARNINGS LARGER

Tho reorganization plan for the
Wabash Railroad was completed and
signed yesterday at the Offices OF Kuhn.
Loeb & Co. by representatives OF the
leading security interests In the property
committee Of seven. consisting Of an
equal number OF members from the
Wallace protective committee and the
Pierce committee Of the refunding and
extension bonds and representative Of
the stockholders' committee. was ap-
pointed to proceed Immediately with the
work Of reorganization.
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. have agreed TO
underwrite the plan. under which 1t IA
proposed to raise s27.72o.ooO OF new
capital by an assessment Of $40 a share
on the stock. Tho completion OF the
reorganization plan is considered in the
financial community to reflect a high de-
gree OF confidence among bankers and
capitalists In the return OF fair business
conditions in the country.
The removal OF the Wabash receiver
ship will eliminate one OF the sore spots
pany has been In receivership since De-
cember II. 1911. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that the plan will put the finances
OF the company In such shape that the
road viii he able to earn Its fixed
charges with substantial surplus. In
view OF the increased earnings OF the
property under the highest freight rates
In It's territory.
The agreement OF the security holders
70 the plan, however. 10 only the first
step In Its ANAL acceptance. Railroad
reorganizers assert that the greatest
difficulty they will have 20 contend with
is that OF getting the approval Of the
five state railroad commissions IN the
territory through which the road passes.
The plan cuts away bonds OF the old
company to an extent which reduces the
annual fixed charges from $500. 900 to
100000. a saving OF s:.soo.O0o a year.
This is done through the cutting away
Of all interest bearing securities. except
tho frs; and second mortgages and the
underlying bonds. No new bonds will
be issued.
The holders Of the s35 10000 first
refunding and extension ~ Will be given
for their bonds a new and special pre-
ferred stock. Three classes OF stock
will he issued. common. preferred and
the special preferred.
Holders OF the present common are to
receive something more than a half OF
their holdings in new common. with the
remainder in new preferred. upon pay
ment of the assessment. Holders OF
the present preferred are to get more
than a half in new preferred and the
remainder in new common, upon pay
ment of the assessment.
The price recently set by the court at
8; Louis as an upset price for the sale
OF the property was $1,000. 900. About

any large shipments of wheat or rye
from Russia the past season, and while
the crops were very short some surplus
doubtless remained. II has been au-
thoritatively stated that France and
England poured credits into Russia re-
Gently. taking grain In exchange A
fair deduction is that these countries
own much OF the wheat in Russia,
which would seemingly explain the alb
sence of pressure Of grain at Russian
distributing points.
Corn-The list was lowered n trifle in
sympathy with tho early depression in
wheat. but rallied impressively. Some
Ut the leading Western operators were
credited with going over to the bull side
The claims that the weather In the
East has been unfavorablc for pasture
lands and for the hay crop were con-
strued as indicating "A possible larger de-
mand for corn later in the season.
There was fair export business
traced at outside points. Several ship
pers averred that the freight rate stu
alton alone prevented a very liberal
business in corn for export. Sales Of
Argentine old corn were reported at
Liverpool on basis OF about three
cents over the cost of laying down
American corn at that centre. although
IN the Liverpool cash market the OIL
cial quotations showed our corn to be
a shade above the value of La Flata.
At all events the domestic inquiry
was improved and cash markets were
generally strong. Country holders were
disinclined to sell at the reduced basis
Notwithstanding the despa tches indicat-
ing that the start OF the new crop prom
ises to be quite favorable. In reflec-
ton OF the increased country selling Of
recent date the interior receipts so far
this week amount to 2.iee. 900 bushels.

Oats-Derand for oats was materially
larger during the day and the list re-
covered the greater part OF the losses
registered on the preceding session. Ex-
porters were moderate buyers and ac-
cording to well informed authorities there
would have been more than the 30o. 900
bushels worked but for the unexpected
strength OF the list Dry weather re-
ports from the East induced many shorts

rent levels. Urgent May liquidation is
said to have been completed. The clear

An application in behalf of the in

Judge Hand explained that his denial
Of the application did not in any way
connote "A determination as to the truth
or falsty Of the charges made by tho
applicants. He simply meant that the
inquiry was useless inasmuch as there
is to be a meeting of creditors IN the

Ownership was flied against the Rock

In his statement Mr.. Amstcr says Mr..
Harding seemed to infer that the re-
ownership was due to Mr.. Amster's
wanting to postpone the annual meeting
on April IL. Mr.. Amster then adds that
his reason for wanting to postpone the
meeting was TO get time to draft a new
set OF bylaws to be presented to the
shareholders for approval In order to re-
place the old bylaws OF the company.
under which he says the stockholders arc
deprived OF their rights. even those of
electing their own chairman AZ the am
nual meetings lie charges that under
the old bylaws an annual meeting is
thus really a directors meeting.
Mr.. Amster charges that there were
no remarks made at the annual meeting
OF the company by r. VI. Schumacher.
that the property was in danger of re-
ownership. In Mr.. Harding's statement
II was said that Mr.. Schumacher limited
that a receivership WAS probable unless
the meeting was allowed to proceed and
something was Immediately done for the
rehabilitation of the property.
Mr.. Amster says that in less than three
days he has received letters from more
than ZOO stockholders, many of whom
had previously given their proxies to the
Sheldon committee transferring 20 him

COTTON IRREGULAR,
BUT CLOSES HIGHER
Decline on Weak Cables Fol-
lowed by a Rally on
Short Covering.
PROHIBITION or EXPORTS

Taking into consideration the wide
prevalence of besrish sentiment among
local operators and the disturbing in
fuences which have contributed TO the
unsettlement OF bullish opinion the cot
ton market yesterday gave a very good
account of itself. There was an ir-
regular opening, with prices making a
rather sharp decline In response to bear
ish cables. Cotton was well taken, how.
ever. and there was enough short cover
Ing to bring about a recovery of IL to
II points for the end of tho first hour
The close was steady. with prices un.
changed to 3 points higher.
The action Of Great Britain in placing
q prohibition on exports to neutral coun-
tries with the exception of Spain and
Portgusl was the subject of much gem
eral comment on the exchange yes
,erday. While this action may be die
lated by the military interest Of the AL
lies there IL a strong disposition to view
the step as an invasion OF neutral rights
10 y greater extent than has been UNI
dcrtaken at any previous time during
the war.
The neutral destination OF cotton is
oil that should concern the American
exporter The doctrine of ultimate
destination has never been upheld in
prize courts or any tribunal OF interna-
,ional law. The controversy. it is felt.
IL plainly between the Allies and the
neutral countries themselves and one
In which the United States and it's ship
pers OF cotton should not become in
volved. The remedy. II is thought. lies
clearly in an arrangement between the
Allies and such neutral countries as
Holland, Italy, Denmark and Sweden.
The weekly weather report yester-
day received a moderately bulhsh con-
st0iction. It gave confirmation to the
excessive rains In Texas and Oklahoma,
where fields were badly washed. with
lands flooded Large areas already
planted to cotton will have TO be re-
planted. while the wet soil will still
further delay farming operations. which
were already considered several weeks
late. In the Eastern States the crop
has been largely planted. but little
growth has been possible on account
~ drought and the failure OF late
planted seed to terminate.
