Bankers Paying for Big Loan RUMOll "that some sort of an nttee ment had ben reached between the financial Interests seeking control of the J. O. Brill Company and those now own ing: a majority of the stock caused a sudden outburst of demand for the shares on the local Exchanges which lifted the quotation rapidly from 61 to 70 before offerings appeared In suttlclent quantity to chock the rise. It Is understood that a bid of 70 was rejected some time ago for control, and that tho present owners were holding- out for 100. Today it was reported that a compromise had been effected. The story that n merger was to bo arranged with the DrlBKS-Seabury Company, was also revived. Entranco of new nnd powerful Inter est In the Philadelphia Company-United Hallway Investment group of properties was shown by the election of a repre sentative of Haydcn, Stone & Co., of Now York and Boston, to the board of directors. Philadelphia Company is sues promptly advanced on 'Change. It Is asserted, by people In close touch with the management, that these properties have never been In such a strong finan cial position as now. The general locnl market was quiet Dis appointment was expressed over the lack of any announcement concerning the salo of the Pennsylvania Steel Company being made following the Pennsylvanl Cw pany directors' meeting this morntnt". It was nevertheless said that an agreerrtetrt had been reached whereby the Pennsyl vania Itallroad stock holding will fe transferred to Charles M. Bchwab, mWI that the Cambria had gone to Conner in terests. The latter stock fell 1 rotor, while Pennsylvania rose a dollar, Phil adelphia Electric made a new high for tho year on talk of largely Increased earnings. Rapid Transit was -not affeoted by the cancelling of tho city mail con tract. Involving somo 160,000 a year, Somo wide changes are looked for In this week's statement of the local Clearing House banks, owing to the payments to be made by Philadelphia bankers and brokers for their proportion of the big Anglo French loan, which notes must be paid for In part today; Already there haa been considerable shifting of loans to rrjeet these requirements, it Is said. Eleven lo cal financial institutions and 27 firms, In cluding the largest banking houses in lh city, are Involved. The total initial In stalment calls for $122,500,000, but, of course, this city only furnishes a small proportion. Incidentally denial was made of a report that It would be Impos sible to borrow on the participation re ceipts. They are not transferable, but Morgan & Co. will give a letter to anr bank recognizing an assignment for pur poses of a loan.
