NEWS AND QUOTATIONS OF THE FINANCIAL Markets
OFFERED.
FOR D. c. RAIL
CONTROL

Apparently annoyed that there
are still 10000 shares Of the common
stock OF the washington Railway
and Electric Company which IL
does not control, the North Ameri.
can Company IL seeking these shares
through an exchange Of stock.
The holding company, already
considered one OF the most powerful
influences IN the local utility situa.
tion. through its president, Frank
L. Dane. has offered five shares Of
its own stock for one share Of the
railway company stock.
North American stock at the close
Of the exchange wednesday was
quoted at 137% q share. Under
Danes offer this would make the
market value OF the shares to be
exchanged for one share Of W. r.
and e. Co. 73sN.
Quoted at $50 . share
washington Railway and Electric
common is quoted on the local exe
change at $50 q share, with no
shares for sale. This would indb
cate that anyone accepting the
holding cornpany'g offer would make
an immediate book.profit OF 1854
per share.
The total common-gtock issue o<
! the local company IL about $1,000
shares, OF which North American
owns 5000. The balance OF shares
is understood largely to be owned
hy one individual, and he seems -
show no disposition to dispose DG
his holdings. The company also has
outstanding $500, 900 Of preferred
stock, ana the North American, II
Is understood, owns 3 large block
Of this stock, too.
The reason given by Dane tor
the North American Company being
willing to give five shares OF tte
own stock for one Of the local come
pany Is contained in q letter which
he wrote to minority holders OF the
Washington Railway and Electric.
1t follows:
Explains Offer
'"The market for the common
stock of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company is greatly
limited due to the fact that less than
| 10000 shares are owned by others
than the North American Company
Certain holders Of such stock have
LlGrGEOEG SApISSSSQ q QGSRIS 10 CA
change their holdings for common
stock of the North American Com.
pany, which is actively dealt in On
the New York Stock Exchange ana
enjoys substantially broader
market"
This move Of the North America6
Company is Of great interest TO
those concerned In the local utility
situation. Just now there is pend.
ing before the public utilities com.
mission q move on the part Of the
street railways for an increase IN
fare. This. IL granted, would mean
a substantial increase In the price
Of the W. X. and e. Co. stock, Il
is generally believed.
Merger Plan Involved
Also it is known that the North
American has been interested ever
since its appearance in local affairs,
to have desired a merger of the
transportation facilities Of the Ma
tional Capital
This merger is now moving slightly
nearer through the initiative of the
newly re-organized utilities commis-
sion which has invited expressions
Of opinion from the Washington
Railway and Electric Company ana
| the Capital Traction Company.
