Ins & Outs
Lorenzo E. Anderson & Co. was formed in St. Louis in 1913 as a brokerage house. In 1927 it was admitted to the New York Stock Exchange. Last week the firm was suspended from the Exchange, marking the first such action of the year, the eighth since the Bear Market began. Partner Arthur C. Hilmer, as president of St. Louis Stock Exchange, had to order his firm suspended from that market as well. One of the house's biggest troubles is said to have been caused by its financing the new St. Louis Arena.
Last week Sutra & Co., oldest Pacific Coast house, suspended last July for complications arising from deals in Manhattan Electrical Supply Co., Inc. was reinstated by the Exchange. The suspension was to have lasted for three years.
Creditors of defunct Prince & Whitely last week received 25-c- on $1 in cash, also certificates in a corporation which hopes to pay the remaining 75-c-by gradual liquidation of remaining assets.
Creditors of Woody & Co. last week heard of a plan by which they may receive between 50-c- and 60-c- on $1.
