d. r. It's Sudden Drop

Question--In the year ta1a I thought
had got bargain. = II vas Was my hrst stock

fool later deposited my stock, and to-day
only have what Y known as certificates
Hoping and wishing the stock to come

week 1t dropped down to about $I2, q
sudden loss OF about 10 points. VIII ap,
present price, and what In tho cause OF
the big drop "A. d.
Answer--The sharp decline in Brook
lyn Rapid Transit stock and certiA.
Gates two days after the sudden break
in Interborough Consolidated common
and preferred was more than coin
cidence. The terms Of the INTERIOR
ough readjustment plan eliminated
practically all the value that was left
in the Consolidated stocks. 1t left them
without any substantial equity, for it
was announced that the Interborough
Consolidated would cease to exist. The
sold and the remainder was about TO
be placed on the auction block with
out hope Of anything being left for
the stockholders. Naturally, INTERIOR
ough Consolidated stocks fell sharply.
Two days later Brooklyn Rapid Transit
stock was sold heavily on a rumor to
the effect that this company was soon
to be reorganized and that there would
be heavy assessment on the stock.
There is hardly any good basis Of
comparison between B. r. T. stock and
Interborough Consolidated. The latter
company was found to be an unneees-
sary unit and was eliminated. There
is hardly any doubt that the B. r. T.
stockholders will be assessed, either
directly in the form of cash con-
tribution or through the purchase at
par of bond or note issue that will
immediately take position in the
rnaffet at point somewhat lower
than par. You have held your stock
through most trying period and now
that the company appears to have re-
gained its poise it would seem illogical
to sell.
