It will be remembered that this meetmg was called in the first place for Nov. 5, and the object of the. board of directors was to get th" stockholders' consent to retire th" common stock. It seems now that more opposition has developed than had been looked for, and for the second sec-ond time an adjournment has been compelled Secretary Rotopp admitted that, in all piobubllity, the present plan would hae to be abandoned, and that the adjournment was had for tho purpose pur-pose of determining what other steps, if any, shall be taken. Said Judge Rolapp: "T do not want to Fee any litigation litiga-tion over this matter, if it can bo pro-vented, pro-vented, but at the same time I would likp to see the common stock retired While our present opinions may have to be surrendered, yet I am unable at the present time to tell what other oth-er means will bo taken to accomplish the desired purpose, "Mr. Eccles Is absent from the Btale and I have had no opportunity as yet to consult him, or any other director, upon our future policy. The value of sugar stocks are tumbling so fast that It Is rather dangerous to stir mattcr3 very much " |
