The restrictions fund provision were criticized. The trustees also contended that the ICC erred in changing the effective date of the plan from Jan. 1, 1939, to Jan, 1, 1944. In a supporting brief it was held that the change in the effective date was not within the order of remand from the United States Supreme Court.—V. 159, on $593,354 45,347 122,289 226,180 $76,644 $450,035 and dividends the retirement $367,174 (>\ (normal 2299. • • - Chicago & North Western Ry. .

The "fair compromise" elimination of the threeyear restriction entirely and substitution of a provision used in other railroad reorganizations, to provide that the annual 5% dividends on the new preferred stock shall be cumulative only and to the extent that they are earned in any particular year. The committee also called on the court to take initiative in direct4ng the immediate payment of the, road's $10,442,828 indebtedness to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. It observed that the loan "should not In any way be frozen into the capitalization by the plan,' that "the Interest of the Government should be solely to recover the public funds temporarily advanced to this railroad," that "it should be no part of the function of the RFC to discourage the repayment of loans in order to remain in a key position of control, pending consum¬ mation of a reorganization."

The, sharp increase in the months total may be ascribed to the private placements of several large issues, notably $50,000,000 of bonds of Republic Steel Corp., $40,000,000 of securities of Chicago, Burlington & Quincy RR. and $20,000,000 of notes of the Pennsylvania Co., proceeds of which were used for refunding outstanding obliga¬ tions. The month's total of stock issues was $33,854,162, representing proceeds of 12 separate issues, as compared with 17 issues aggregating $107,108,006 -in April and eight issues totaling $35,980,455 in March. Of the total corporate financing of $216,707,162 for May, $32,615,868 or 15.1 % was for new money and $184,091,294, or 84.9% for refunding purposes. In this respect,'the financing for May follows the pattern of preceding months. : Private corporate financing for May made an impressive showing, the total reaching $125,254,675, comprising twelve issues and represents 57.8% of the total of all financing. This- compares with $29,195,000, or 16.2% of the April total, $47,310,000 or 31.7% of the total reported in March, $82,000,000 or 51.6% of February's total and $8,500,000 or 5.3% of January's flotations.-' ;. ; The principal; issues in May were the $50,000,000 first mtge. sinking fuhd 3%s; bf Republic Steel Corp., $30,000,000 collateral 3%s aiid $10,000,000 14/4% serial notes of the Chicago/ Burlington & Quincy RR., $20,000,000 3Vg% sinking fund notes of the Pennsylvania Co., $23,000,000 1st and ref. 3s of Virginia Electric & Power Co., $9,000,000 1st mtge. 3s, and 30,000 shares of 4% preferred stock of New Jersey Power & 1st SUMMARY OF CORPORATE FIGURES BY Type of Mar 1 day Treas. bills 74,540,500 93,048,500 3,743,211,000 Mar, Depositary Bonds- Tax Antic'n Notes- time to 37,825,000 Total Apr Apr for 6 13 Mar 22 1 8,942,885,000 1,007,677,000 1,007,677,000 1,014,423,000 1,013,435,000 1,013,541,000 1,000,234,000 1,013,435,000 4,876,511,000 4,876,511,000 AND 1943 738,544,634 14,969,000 Tax Antic'n Notes- 14,969,000 299,749,300 299,749,300 May 4 91 May 11 91 day 91 day May 18 May 25 9,978,849,934 91 1,206,498,000 1,206,012,000 1,002,280,000 1,005,662,000 1,012,743,000 1,007,677,000 14,826,000 200,836,000 193,269,000 Treas. bills day Treas. bills indeb._ 1,207,114,000 1,615,057,000 Savings Bds.
