wILLYS OVERLAND,

The temporary closing down Of the
WHY'S Overland plant at Toledo was
not surprise to those traders who
have been watching closely the at
fairs of those companies whose Sc
curities have become known as "in-
ventory stocks" AS far back as jan
uary few traders went through the
list of industrials and picked out
those with extra large inventories
which were apt to prove embarrass-
ing.
They found WHY'S Overland carry
ing some $3s,70O,O00 materials Oh
hand, an increase Of over 100 per
cent in five years. With the increas-
ing credit stringency and falling of
in demand the large holdings proved
a burden. Total current assets Of
the company as of December 81
amounted to about SIS, 800. 900, includ-
ing the $3s. 100000 inventories. and
current liabilities $42,500.00O. leaving
net working capital Of S17.100.000 At
that time the company had over $780,
900, 900 notes payable. an increase Of
$4,000, 900 over the previous year.

CLEVELAND BUYING.

The recent buying of Western
Maryland railway stock in the New
York market, during which the price
has advanced to Is and over. has been
for the account of Cleveland interests.
according to late advices from the
metropolis.
They are absorbing tho stock. it is
said. on the expectation that early
action may be taken to merge the
Western Maryland with tho Wheeling
and Lake Erie and so give 1t an en-
trance into Cleveland.
To effect this junction II will only
require the building of about fiftl
miles OF additional track, when there
would he through connection for
the Eastern road. This rumor has
been going the rounds for some time,
and il is declared this combination
may come when the roads are in
better financial position to push i'm
proycmcnts and extensions.
President Byers was not in Balti-
moro yesterday, according to tho
statement from his office, and no con-
tirmation could be obtained es to
whether or not tho Western MARYLAND
had this connection immediately In
view. The financial affairs of the
Western Maryland arc practically
handled from New York, therefore the
f,rst news OF such a move would come
from that city.
