Relevant Comment
A Puzzling Financial Knot

In the opinion of lawyers and rail
road bankers a unique situation has
arisen as a result of the decision of the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
affirming the JUDI Sment obtained by the
Equitable Trust Company against the
Denver e. Rio Grande Railroad Com
pary for a sum in excess of S3S,O00,0 900,
representing the accrued interest and
the unpaid balance Of the $4,000 900
bond issue Of the Western Pacific Rail
road, originally guaranteed as to both
principal and interest by the Denver
company. The situation has been COM
plicated by the taking over of the
operations of the railroads of the coun-
try by the government. The LIQUID as
sets of the Denyer & Rio Grande, it is
admitted, are insufficient to meet the
amount of the judgment given in favor
Of the Western Pacific bondholders, and
now that the judgment has been af
firmed the question is how payment
will be made.
A. ]. Shores, of Chadbournc g. Shores,
counsel for the Denver a. Rio Grande
Railroad, was in Washington yesterday
seeking advice from government Off
be taken to the Supreme Court.
If the government had not taken over
the railroads the Equitable Trust Com
pany, acting in behalf of the Western
Pacific bondholders, would, it is init
mated, have asked for receiver for
the Denver & Rio Grande in which cir
Gums stance the amount of the Judgment
might have been raised through sale
Of the property at forccloruse. Under
the decision of the court the claims of
the Western Pacific bondholders would
nected with the Denver & Rio Grande
state that the effect of the Circuit
Courts decision is to establish the
claim resulting from the guarantee of
the bonds as that of an ordinary unse-
cured debt reduced to judgment, and
the lien Of all the mortgage bonds, in
Guiding the 7 per cent. adjustment
bonds, is prior to the judgment lien.
On the assumption, then. that the
Judgment is prior only to the stock of
the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, and
bonds, and as it is obviously impossi-
BILE to raise the amount of the judg-
ment out of it's current cash or by new
financing, it is believed in banking CIR
ces that some compromise may be
reached between the holders of the
judgment and the stockh olders of the
Denver & Rio Grande in the form of a
capital readjustment. This may result
in the issuance of a new security prior
to the Denver stock to the given to
the owners of the judgment in settle
ment Of their claim.
Another suggestion that has been
made is that the surplus earnings Of
the Denver property. over and above
fixed charges be paid to the Western
adoption Of this plan. however. does

Dollar in Foreign Exchange

The foreign exchange market passed
another week of inactivity. Transac-
tions were conducted on a small scale
and rates moved within narrow limits.
Holiday interruptions tended to re-
strict business.
French and English exchange rates
were firmly maintained, but slightly
easier tendency was noted in the
Italian rate. which fell to S46 lire to
tho dollar in the middle Of the week.
Later the rate hardened slightly. Rus
sian .rubles were steady. with little
business doing in view Of the chaotic
conditions existing in that country.
The omen market rate for rubcs was
13 cents.
scandinavian exchanges displayed no
tendency toward recovery Swedish
crowns sold off fraction on the
weeks transactions to 1914 cents.
Spanish pesetas were strong, rising on
one day to 2Als cents.
1T you calculate the cost Of the dollar
in terms of foreign money at par value
that is, as if you were buying dollars
with pounds. marks or francs - its
value at the close of last week, as com
pared with a year ago, would be about

Standard Gas Co.
Passes Dividends
High Operating Costs Given
as the Reason for
Omission

The Standard Gas Light Company, q
subsidiary Of the Consolidated Gas
Company, yesterday passed the semi
annual dividends on the common and
preferred stocks due at this time. The
company has been paying per cent
every six months on the $4,295,7O0 pre-
ferred stock outstanding. The last
dividend on the s+,9s5,70O common was
paid last June, wnen 2. of l per cent
was distributed
or the preferred stock the Consoli-
dated Gas Company owns s4,O96,1O0
and s4,796,200 Of the common stock.
Pascing Of the preferred dividend
means that the parent corporations
revenue from that issue in 1917 was
reduced by one-Ealf, or Sl22,8SO.
Passing of both the preferred and
common dividends was attributed to
abnormal operating costs.

Solicitors Methods Criticised

Further criticism Of the methods Of
solicitors in urging subscribers to take
more of the Liberty Loan As than they
could really afford to buy is heard AS
result of the continued liquidation Of
the governments war bonds on the
Stock Exchange. This selling tends to
keep the bonds considerably below par
and for that reason. it is contended,
puts the investor in state of mind
where he will not become greatly en-
tkusiastc over future issues. To change
this attitude many bankers believe it
will be necessary before the next loan
for the Liberty As to go back to par
In the matter of partial payment in
New York on future loans suggestions
havs been made to the Treasury De-
partmcnt that the existing system may
be much improved by the establish
ment of great central clearing house
where payments may be handled.
New-York tribune., 1918-01-06
Liberty Loan Delinquents Notified


An explanation for the persistent
selling in the Liberty Loan per cent
bonds was made yesterday by man
who has charge of comprehensive
system for receiving payments on the
instalment plan. In his judgment, much
Of the recent liquidation has been
caused by the inability of the holders
to continue the weekly or monthly pay
ments, as they may be, and as result
the financial institutions carrying the
bonds have, in order to protect them
selves, been forced to sell such hold
ings in the open market. 1t does not
seem unlikely that further selling Of
this character may be expected in the
near future, as a number of institu-
tiors have recently sent to those de-
linqucnt on their payments notices in
forming them that unless the overdue
instalments are paid within certain
period the bonds will be sold at the
current quotation, in which event the
seller will deduct from the amount al
ready paid in on the bonds the differ
ence between the market price and par,
returning the remainder to the origi-
nal purchaser of the bond.
