Justification for this drastic action was seen in the fact that RKO faces a receivership unless it gets cash, that a receivership would probably wipe out the value of the common stock. No public offering of securities could be made at this time; banks have been unwilling to assist. Radio Corp., which controls RKO, has agreed to buy any unsubscribed debentures on the same terms at which they were offered. Immediate cash needs of RKO are $1,000,000 during November, $3,000,000 by Jan. 1, $3,000,000 by July 1,1932. During 1929 the company made...

Seneca Finished. In 1924 Seneca Copper Corp. went into receivership. The next year Seneca Copper Mining Co. succeeded it. Seneca has had a poor history. In June 1927, it closed up, reopened in October 1928, when copper prices began to rise; last December it again closed. Since at the end of last year Seneca showed cash of only $5,115 and since it is one of the high-cost producers, coppermen were not surprised last week to hear that once again Seneca is in receivership. The company owns 2,465 acres of copper property in Keweenaw County, Mich., produced...
