En An offlclU announcement wm made to-dajr of
mf- the fledslon of the management of tho, Kerr
Wh York Central Hftllroad Companr to Uiue 1Q0,
ff& OOaOOOof 3s V cent, collateral truit bondi to
WJ ba used In acquiring the capital itook of tho
Kfit JU Shore and Michigan Southern Ilallroad
8 Companr on the boIi of two dollars In bonds
'' for one dollar In stock. Details of the proposed
' transaction are printed In another column. As
f tho projramme for virtually consolidating
3 the tiro companies has been known In
W Wall street for ten days or more, the
'1 formal steps toward carrying out that pro-
ffl, gramme had very little effeot upon tho stock
u market. New York Central was a little more
'? actlre than yesterday and closed of 1 V cent.
H higher. Neither the dealings nor the fluctua-
f tlons In the stock were as noteworthy as they
m were a week ago, when the Btreet was begin-
J& nlng to bellere rumors then ourrent that the
Fw two companies were about to be merged Into
& one.
gj The market for Lake 8horo was more sus-
m ceptlble to tho news referred to abore than New
f York Central. Expectations that the policy of
;M uniting the VanderbUt roads under one man
&f agement may be continued stimulated a de-
'fS mand for Michigan Central and for Canada
'. Southern. Both closed materially nlgher than
TO yesterday. Michigan Central was unusually
flf actlre at a net advance of 3a points a more-
6$ ment that Is accounted for by the assumption
rA that the bonded Indebtedness of the com-
53 pany will shortly be refunded and that,
& with the Canada Bouthern, It will be
W brought Into even closer relations than
M at present with somo one of the so-
rV called VanderbUt lines east of Buffalo. Brie
first preferred was slrnlflcantly aotlve and
strong. It Is reported that a sale of B0.000
iff shares of stock has been made abroad by the
j banking houso that conducted the reorganize
Is tlon of the company. It Is also reported that
$, the Erie Company will offer holdorsof Busque-
M hanna and Western preferred 83 V cent, of par
il In Erie first preferred and that Susquehanna
5 and Western common will rocolvo Erie common
$ stock on eren terms. Material adranoes In
$ Susquehanna and Western common and pre-
J ferred conflrm to an extent reports of a merger
m with tho Erlo Company on tho terms noted.
9L Of the stocks that aro rarely noglected by the
W speculatlre element C. B. and Qutnoy received
tt the most attention. It was tho only one of the
fr Granger stocks that uado decided vrogress to-
&i ward a htghor lerel. Tho advance In It was
W accompanied by reports that the management
- will Increase the dividend at the next quarterly
m meeting. The market as a whole made a better
sf. showing than yesterday, the dealings being a
m little larger and the tendenoy of prices mors
jjf, -renerally upward. A number of stocks In which
jit there has reoently been hoavy realising, notably
i Northern Faciflo preferred and Union Paclflo,
tf; made a very fair ebowlng. They wero not as
ks extensively dealt In as they have been for eev-
E' eral days past, but they hold their own so far as
tfl prices are concerned, although there had un-
jjcf questionably been extensive profit-taking in
e both of them. On light transactions Western
Jr. Union.' Chicago Terminal preferred, and a nam-
i bar bl other comparatively Inactive slocks
i$. closed a point or more higher than yesterday.
While the stock market reflects from day to
day the vagaries and changing vlows of specu
lative dealers In securities, the bond market
continues strong and unusually active. The
saseof the money market, the rising tendency
of prices for commodities of all kinds, railway
truffle returns, and steadily Increasing bank
clearances make Investors Ignore minor and
ephemeral considerations affecting values and
influence them In Increasing their holdings of
seaurltles that promise a fair return upon tho
money In vested.

GAS
CONSUMERS
of Boston and the
Officials and Holders of
Stocks and Bonds of
Gas and Electric Light
Companies of
Massachusetts:
A lioaring "will bo givon on Mon
day, Fob. 7th, at 11 A. M.. at tho
office of tho Board of Gas and
Electric Light Commissioners, on
tho petition filed by Henry M.
Whitnoy, President of tho Massa
chusetts Pipe Lino Gas Company,
prayincj for tho approval of tho
iasuo of $1,000,000 of stock.
As tho result of this hearing is
of proitt importance to the gas
consumers of Boston, tho officors
and direotors of gas and oleetrio
light companies now oxisting by
authority of tho State, nnd tho
holders of stocks and bonds of
such gas and oloctrio light com
panies, it is for their interest to
attend or be represented at this
hearing.
All consumers of gas in the
city of Boston believe that the
price which they now pay for gas
is based upon the actual coBt of
manufacture, plus fair dividends
and interest on tho capital now
employed by companies now in
existence, and that in tho future
the price of gas will be reduced
as the inoreased consumption and
improved methods of manufacture
reduce tbe cost.
They believe tho laws of tho
Stato and tho rules and regula
tions of the Board of Gas and
Eleotrio Light Commissioners
absolutely prevent the creation
of now stocks and bonds, or the
inflation of those now existing,
beyond an amount needed for
increased consumption.
The officers and directors of
gas and electric light companies
now existing by authority of tho
State believe that it is impossible
for new companies to create
stocks and bonds without that
permission of tho Commonwealth
which they hnvo very properly
been compelled to secure before
creating any of the securities now
in existence, and the investors
all over tho United States who
hold stocks and bonds in gas and
electrio light companies doing
business uuder the laws of the
State of Massachusetts believe
that any stocks or bonds of gas
and electric light companies issued
under the laws of Massachusetts
carry a guarantee of safety because
their creation was supervised and
rogulatoil by the offioials of tho
State under a system of laws im
possible of infringement and
ox.sting in no other Stato in tho
Union
The result of this hoaring will
prove whether the bolief of tho
throo classes mentioned is well
founded or not.
Tho Massachusetts Pipe Lino
Company is a creature of tho Stato,
which obtained its right to exist
from tho Stato by pledging itsolf
to tho Stato that it would issuo
$1,000,000 capital stock according
to tho laws of tho Stato for tho
purpose of manufacturing and dis
tributing a new kind ol gas which
could bo sold to tho citizens of
Boston at a price much less than
that of any gas manufactured by
nny existing gajcom iapy. Ono of
the iawa which this company
agreed should govern the issu
ance of its stick wa3 that tho
Board of Gas and Electric Light
Commissioiirrs should pass upon
the necessity and advisability of
allowing tho issuauco of a part or
the whole of tho Sl.OUO.OUO capi
tal prior to its issuauce. Ono of
the horotcforo unaltorablo cus
toms orrules of tho Board of Gas
and Electrio Light Commission
ers has beou that upon tho ap
plication of a gas or electric light
company for tho issuance of now
stoulc, there should bo Riven
a public hearing that all in
terested could know of the ad
visability of such issue and enter
protest prior to the issuance, ami
j novor ainco tho existence of tho
Board of Gas and Eloctrio Light
Commissioners line thero been
a gas or electric light company
, bold enough to evade this test.
Tho Massachusetts Pipe Line
Gas Company has issued its
$1,01)0,000 of capital stock with-
InnHttnl.
aM'iar'ai''"i''iw'lii'''a.-..M-.' - ai ml -ifi1l w.a.a.
out tho authority of tho Board of
Gas and Electrio Light Commis
sioners or anv othor supervisory
arm of tho Stato, and has issued
it without even roquostinu tho
Board of Gas and Eleotrio Liyht
CommisBioiior.'i to pass upon it,
nnd has usod tho stook so issued
as tho basis for n contract with
tho sovi-n gas companion of Bos
ton, whoroby for CO years nil
authority has been takon out of
tho hands of tho Bourd of
Gas and Eloctrio Light Com
missioners to regulato tho pricn
of gas to tho consumer, and lins
further usod tho stook 30 issued
as tho basis for an illogal gas
company or association which has
issued 3-35,000,000 of stock and
bonds without tho pormissiou of
tho Board of Gas- and Eloctrio
Light Commissioners or any other
authority in tho State, and which
have been sold for $14,000,000, aud
upon which a Now York trust com
pany has loaned $12,000,000 of its
depositors' funds.
Tho roason for this action on
tho part of tho Massachusetts
Pipo Lino Gas Company is tho
samo as that which would prompt
any gas and oleotrio light company
in tho State which know that a
public hearing givon by tho Board
of Gas and Eloctrio Light Com
missioners for the purpose of as
certaining tho nocessi'y or advisa
bility of allowing tho issuo of
stock and bonds, would show the
unquostionablo illogality of such
proposed issuo.
The Board of Gas and Eleotrio
Light Commissioners, learning of
the illogal issue of this stook and
tho bold infringement of consti
tuted authority, notified tho Massa
chusetts Pipo Lino Company that
it had not onlyiBsuod its stock ille
gally, but that its officers and direc
tors had committed a misdemeanor
punishable by fine and imprison
ment Then and not until then did
the Massachusetts Pipo Lino Com
pany pk tho Board of Gas and
E ectrio Light Commissioners to
ratify their illogal action, and the
hoaring on February 7th is tha
result
If it is possible for the Massa
chusetts Pipe Lino Company to do
what it has done, and it and its
officials aro allowed to go unpun
ished, unquestionably the prece
dent they have established will be
quickly followed by scores of "wild
cat" schemes, until the name "Mas
sachusetts" attached to a gas and
eleotrio light security will mean no
more than tho name of those States
where nothing is required for tho
issuance of stocks and bonds but
the payment of a small fee to tho
local attorneys, and the millions
of securities alrea ly created under
tho conservative supervision of tho
Board of Gas and Eleotrio Light
Commissioners will quickly ohanga
from first-class investments to
speculative footballs.
It is clearly tho duty of tho
three classes above mentioned to
aid tho Board of Gas and E o ci
tric Light Commissioners with all
tho information in their powor,
to the end that they will maka
this, the first attempt at high
handed infringement of the cor
poration laws of tho Common
wealth of Massachusetts, bo ex
pensive an infringement of tho
laws that it will never be attempted
again, for probably never again
will such an opportunity arise for
teaching schemers that it is
disastrous to attempt to evado
tho well-established policy of
Massachusetts, ropresonted by a
Commission which has justly
earned a reputation for conserva
tism, intelligence and courage ;
for if tho Board of Gas and Eluc- 1
trio Light Commissioners stamp 1
tho stock of tho Massachusetts
Pipe Lino Company as illogal,
the corporation itself d"es not
legally exist, and tho 50-year con
tracts which it has made with the
seven Boston companies fall to
tho ground, and thereby destroy
the outiro structure of tho Now
England Gas & Coko Company,
which, in its turn, will ro
loaso the unfortunate underwrites
who havo purchased $1-1,000,000 of
worthlosB bonds, and tho trpmou
dous loss now impending will have
to bo borno by the foroicn specu
lators who aro rosponsiblo for the
creation of this chimerical creattiro
of modern financa, iustoad of Now
England investors, as was intondod
when tho sohomn was first creatod.
