No New I. A. c. Financing

John ]. Watson jr, treasurer, was
quoted as saying that the international
Corporation will do no new
financing this year. His statement,
which was made in response to in
quiries concerning recent reports in
the financial district, included the fur
ther information that the company has
banking accommodations with its reg
ular repositories not yet made use of,
which creates reserve to fall back
on if necessary. The international
Agricultural directors this week de-
clared the usual quarterly dividend of
IA per cent on the preferred stock.
This action came as somewhat of a
surprise in some quarters of the Street
in view Of the fact that other of the
PEELED to pass their last dividend ac-
cruals because of the failure of farm
ers to meet their payments nromptlY.

Trunk Line Pool Not Operating

According to present indications
there is little prospect that the New
Haven and other New England railroads
will derive any immediate benefit from
the proposed formation of trunk line
pool of S1o,000,000, which was to be
used to give aid to the most needy of
these lines. The railroads that we're
expected to be called on to participate
in the contribution were to have reached
an agreement in February, but ac
cording to w. H. Williams, chairman
of the Trunk Lines Committee. no an
nouncement can yet be made regarding
the fate Of the plan. The interested
roads were asked to donate per cent
of gross freight revenues. provided the
months operations yielded sufficient
net to permit monthly payments.
