sistent strength yesterday. IN activity

ing the day at IS. up Is from Tuesdays
closing, it moved steadily forward 20
S., up 2ls points, and the best price
since the November rise. when u sold
az S55s. Curiously enough, the turn
over in Reading. around $4,000 shares
practically duplicated the performance

was whispered about the Street that
the Rockefeller interests had been ac-
cumulating the stock ever since the
beginning Of the move last week.
There were two explanations for the
resumption Of the rise in Reading. One
was the old story of distribution OF
assets and the other was said TO be the
belief in many quarters that the settle
ment Of the differences between the
bituminous coal operators and miners
indicated a similar agreement between
the anthracite men.

PERE MARQUETTE
RECEIPTS HIGHER
Improved Earnings Make
Reorganization Plan
Possible.

What was believed 20 be a hopeless
task few months ago-s reorganiza-
tion Of the bankrupt Pere Marquette
Railroads. now being actively consid-
cred by influential New York banking
interests. The necessary incentive 20
the movement has been furnished by
the recent marked improvement in the
roads earnings.
A meeting Of the holders Of the
principal securities was held yester-
day and a plan was discussed which
will involve cash requirements Of be-
tween sl5,OOO,0OO and S2O.OOO,00o This
viii probably be raised by assessment
u is understood, however, that u VIII
take considerable time 10 take the road
out Of receivership, owing 70 the
tangled condition Of It's finances.
The Ptre Marquette went into re-
ownership in March. 1912. because the
Michigan Railroad Commission refused
the company permission to issue Sd
geo 600 bonds as collateral for q pro-
posed note issue. on July 2, 1914, the
Federal court al Detroit granted the
petition Of the Central Trust Company,
trustee Of the refunding mortgage, 10
file foreclosure proceedings, making the
fourth suit of this character brought
against the company.
Several unsuccessful attempts have
been made 70 obtain a sale Of the prop
erty, but in each case d postponement
has taken place. The date last set is
for May 3 before Judge Arthur J. Tut
tie a. Detroit The upset price for the
property was previously fixed at Sl4,-
100000
A court review Of the reorganization
plan will be had at Detroit on March
20. and ID is possible that q special re-
ceiver will be sought from the court
when the hearing occurs, as was done
i'm the case Of the Wabash reorganizs-
