Morris & Essex Ends

Directors of the Morris & Essex Rail-
road Company announced yesterday
that, subject to approval of the stock
holders, they had concluded with the
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Railroad a settlement of the litigation
begun against the Lackawanna two
years ago. The suit was instituted by
a stockholders committee of the Nor
ris & Essex against the Lackawanna,
which holds lease on the former prop
crty, asking for an accounting and the
payment Of l per cent extra IN divi-
bends on the S15,000,000 stock of the
Morris d Essex for the years 1905 to
1914 and thereafter.
Under the terms of the agreement by
which the suit is to be dropped the
Lackawanna's lease of the Morris &
Essex is to be modified to make the
rental ~ per cent per annum. When
the lease went into effect in 1868 the
Lackawanna guaranteed per cent per
annum on the stock and | per cent
extra in case 80 per cent of the gross
earnings was sufficient TO pay all fixed
charges and 10 per cent on the stock,
but in recent years the rate has been
only 7 per cent on the Morris & Essex
shares,

Money and Credit

An increased demand for loan accom-
modations on the part of stock market

outstanding commitments by some OF
the banks, caused sharp rise in the
call money rate at the Stock Exchange

minutes the leaning rate rose from 3

money actually was placed at the latter
figure From 100000 TO $4,000

1t is obvious that the railroads are
losing ground in the race with prices,
and the statistics suggest that there
is much to support their plea for an
advance in rates. Even more de-
cidedly, however, they point to the
fact that the railroads are not so
poverty stricken as many seem TO
believe. Whatever else railroad
stocks have done, they have not sufh-
GENTLY discounted the never-ending
pessimism of those who run the rail
roads and those who speak for them.

The above rates express the cost Of
foreign money in terms OF the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at. say. si.75Ss. The intrinsic
parity is s4.s6ss per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are at n dis
count or that dollars are at pre-
MUM. which is owing TO the fact that
in England the demand for dollars
with which 10 settle accounts in this
country is greater than the demand in
this country for pounds with which 10
settle accounts in England.
