Counsel for Toledo, St. Louis &
Western Stockholders Conf
dent OF Court Ruling

Counsel to the stockholders pro
tective committee OF the Toledo, St.
Louis & Western Railway. of which
jules S. Bache is chairman, have made
a further report TO the committee
concerning the progress of pending
litigation over the validity Of tho com
pany's A and B bonds secured by Chi
cago & Alton stock. it was announced
yesterday
One OF the reasons for this ltiga
ton on the part Of the Glover Leaf
stockholders is to prevent the Rock
Island, which holds all of the $5,047-
600 B bonds and 100000 Of the y
bonds. from enforcing its claim. The
present report refers TO the ovcrrul-
ing Of motions by tho Rock Island
questioning the jurisdiction of the
court and states that on May s, 1920,
the Rock Island filed an answer adj
mitting the payment of $l93,000 in
connection with its sale 10 the Glover
Leaf Of majority of the stock Of the
Alton but asserting that this payment
was legitimate. The report of the
committees counsel adds:
Owe do not consider the answer as
to the $4,000 as cXcusing at all the
payment of that sum and arc very
confident that the court VIII hold that
the Rock Island was guilty of
fraud and Will not permit it to enforce
tho B bonds, all of which it owns
amounting to S5.O47 600, and about
S400 900 Of A bonds, which it also owns
We arc also very hopeful that the
same defense will apply to approx
mately 100000 Of A bonds, known as
the Moore holdings. If the court sus-
tains our claims in the above respect
over one-half Of the bonds Win be
wiped out.
"You understand, OF course, tnat we
arc also making a claim against the
Rock Island in this suit that if the
Toledo, St Louis & Western Railroad
is compelled to pay any Of the re
naming bonds in the hands OF good
faith holders it will be ontitl I'd
TO recover from the Rock Island any
sum which II is thus required to pay
The Rock Island being now held in
court and having answered, all Of the
above questions viii be squarcly be
fore the court for dccision"
The report further refers 20 efforts
holders to show that all Of the A bonds
other than the Rock Island and Moore
holdings are held in good faith. APP
proximatcly $3,O00,00O Of the A bonds
arc said to be held in Europe and

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Sterling exchange was strong all
through the week. The upward move
ment was accelerated by reports that
additional gold shipments from abroad
are imminent. The Bank of England
has been increasing its gold holdings
and bankers interpret this to mean that
a second flow the metal will soon start
Within week s8,000,000 of gold is OK
pected from Canada, but this, so far
as can be learned, is for the domn-
ions account Bankers close to the
British government express confidence
that further shipments Of gold from
overseas can be expected in anticpa-
ton Of the Anglo-French loan, which
natures on October Is next.
In the Continental exchanges the ten
dency was similarly upward, partly in
sympathy with the movement of ster-
ling. Since the nations Of the Cont
nent escaped the critical winter with
out encountering all the troubles that
pessimists predicted, the Continental
exchanges have ben rising rapidly, de-
spite occasional reactions due to tech
nical market conditions.
If you calculate the cost Of the
dollar in terms Of foreign money at
current exchange values that is. if
you were buying dollar with pounds,
marks or francs it's value at the close
Of last week, as compared with year

Hitch in Chemical Mercer,

Buying of the socal!ed chemical
stocks Barrett, Aniine and General
Chemical was less pronounced yester-
day. possibly due to reports that there
has been a hitch in The negotiations
looking to merger of these three
companies. Persons who said they had
knowledge of what is going on behind
the curtains stated that the main
obstacle to completion of the con-
soildaton plan at present was the re-
iusal Of the Barrett and General Chem
zeal interests to pay the price asked
by National Anil;ne common stockhold
crs, namely, between $50 and $50 a
snare. These interests are said 10
argue that while Aniline's present rate
OF earnings is very large the company
is just as likely to run into a period
when revenues may drop off sharply,
and that this contingency should be
taken into consideration in arriving at
fair price at which the company
should be taken into merger. More

More Optimistic

Wrenn Brothers. who have a reputa
tion for extreme conservatism with
respect to the stock market. express
the opinion that the market is laying
the foundation for another upward
movement later on and add "W neither
or not prices will again break far be-
low the low levels established in May
seems to us a matter Of doubt The
liquidation thus far has been less
drastic and less voluminous in com
parison with the aggregate volume OF
stocks in the hands Of the public than
over before in recent times when the
money market was equally strained
Undoubtedly the principal reason is
that there was 70 such accumulation
of stocks in weak hands at the top Of
October, 1912; October. 1906, or Sep
tember. 1902 Each of these latter
high peaks in the market had been
preceded by three to six years of great
prosperity, during which the fnancirg
OF corporate needs was done in large
part through stock issues; during 1918
and 1919, on the contrary. nearly an
the financing was done through bond
and note issues, and instead of six
year accumulation of stocks in weak
hands there was only a two year &C
emulation. Considering that the
1918 and 1919 bull movement was o.
short duration. was not accompanied d
by heavy stock financing and occurl ID
in a time when new issues of war bonds
ard other bonds were absorbing the
investment funds of the country, we
doubt whether there are now stocks
enough IN weak hands to produce any
such drastic liquidation as occurred

Studebaker "Speculative Purchase

After reviewing the Studebaker Cor
Qora.lon's record of earnings since
1911, Shonnard. Mil . Company con-
clude their analysis by adding: In
view of the great earning power al
ready developed, which on the average
is two and one-half times the present
dividend requirement, and which this
year will be four times the present
dividend requirement, and in view of
the substantial asset value of the
stock, which is nearly $50 share
more than the current selling price,
We believe Studebaker common is an
excellent speculative purchase. An
added feature is that the stock can still
be bought to yield approximately 10
per cent"

MAN FOUR TIMES
AS OLD AS HORSE

Study Of the relation between the
total length of life and the time re-
quired to reach maturity has brought
out an interesting comparison be-
tween men and horses, says the New
York Evening Post. A horse at five
years old is said to be, comparatively
as old as a man at twenty, and doubt
less may be expected to behave, &C
cording to equine standards, after the
manner Of the average college stu
dent following human standards. A
10 year old horse resembles so far as
age and experience go, a man of 40
while a horse that has attained the
ripe age of 35 is comparable with a
man of 80.
