STOCKS SHARPLY DECLINE

CHICAGO Aug. 30.-The Chicago and
Alton Railroad was placed in the
hands of receivers in Federal Court
to-day by Judge Carpenter W. G..
Bierd president, and w. w. Wheelock,
an attorney, were named as the re-
ceivers.
According to statement by Silas
III. Strawn. appointed counsel for the
receivers. the receivership was pre-
cipitated principally by the great fall
ing Off in the earnings Of the company
due 80 the coal strike and by the ex-
ira expenses due to the shopmen's
strike.
The suit resulting in the receiver
ship was filed by the Texas Company
of New York and Chicago. creditor
with claim of about $4,000 At the
offices of Mr.. Strawn it was stated the
receivership would not in any way
change the operation Of the roads
trains.
Announcement of the receivership for
the Chicago and Alton Railroad Com
pany came after the close of the stock
market session. which had as its ont
standing feature the sharp decline in this
companys stock in the face of gains by
practically the entire railroad group.

also in conference with bankers but re-
fused to comment on the reorganization

In the market yesterday both the
preferred and common shares OF Chicago
and Alton suffered breaks on heavy
selling. while the 3Ia per cent. bonds.
after selling as high as 81 on Tuesday.
touched 40 during the day. but subse-
quently rallied. Wall Street read the
earning statement OF the road for the
month OF July as an unfavorable omen,
since II was reported that the agreement
which kept holders OF the s16,s34 900
