CHICAGO AND EAST I'LL.
SALE AGAIN PUT OFF
Holders of Defaulted Bonds
Disagree on Price.

Sale OF the Chicago and Eastern ILL.,
nois Railroad Company. set for March /.
will be postponed again owing to dis.
agreement between holders of the COM
pany's two chief defaulted bond issues
on the price to be paid for the company
TO be formed to take over the road. De-
lay in making the sale and completing
reorganization Is not expected to con-
tinue much longer, however, as the COM
mittee for the company's general con-
solidated and the first per cent. bonds
expects to have a programme completed
next week for submission to holders OF
It's Junior bonds. That programme, al
though meaning concessions all around,
probably will be acceptable TO the dis
agreeing bondholders.
Under the plan of reorganization the
new company's total capitalization will
be s91, 900, 900, against the old company's
capitalization of $115.605,000. Fixed
charges will be reduced S2.11s.000. The
hitch has arisen over the apportlonment
of loss In this reduction of capitaliza-
tion.
Although It Is not possible yet to state
exactly the amount which holders of the
company's common and preferred stocks
will be assessed, 1t is known that IL will
be close to $40 and hardly below that
figure. The opinion that final settlement
on the amount of compensation due the
corporation by the Government will not
appreciably increase or decrease this
assessment Is expressed by members of
the bondholders protective committees.

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Townsend-winslow Bill Enacted.

Tho return OF the Winslow Townsend
bill to the President with favorable rec
concentrations by the Secretary OF the
Treasury and the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the subsequent sign
ing OF the bill by President Wilson yes
terday centred attention on railroad
securities and their prospects. In a
nutshell. the Winslow- Townsend law is
only temporary relief for the railroads.
1t provides merely that partial advances
TO the roads OF funds owed them by the
Government pending final adjudication
Of all accounts. may be made. The sum
involved Is expected to exceed $500, 0,000,-
900, which. of course. becomes immedi-
ately available. Final settlement OF
many accounts Is a long way off. In
the case Of a big road. such as the New
York Central, there are thousands Of
minor claims and counter claims of all
sorts which must be checked and re-
checked before the fina4 accounting is
made. Railroad executives do not be-
lieve that 1t will be possible to clear
up all those accounts in less than four
or five years. The new law. providing
that partial payments may be made by
the Government on those claims, there
fore will bring great relief to many
roads.

use the words of a prominent railroad
banker. The relief offered by the
Townsend-Winslow law is temporary, OF
course. but most railroad executives
hold the opinion that with that aid and
the probable help which will be extended
the roads through the abrogation of the
national agreements by the Labor
Board--if such agreements be abro-
gated-and the aid OF such retrench-
ments In operating forces as are pos
sible, most OF which have been made,
most roads will be able to pull through
