1t is said to be n settled fact that the
reorganization managers of the st. Louis
and San Francisco Railroad Company will,
on March 2S, file a bill of foreclosure with
Judge Sanborn in New York. Those who
are familiar with the proceedings thus far
are confident that the foreclosure will be
allowed and the property ordered sold un-
der the refunding mortgage. It is under
stood that securities are being deposited in
satisfactory volume.
