Plans for the financial reorganis tion of the North Gorman Lloyd and Hamburg-Amerika shipping companies will be decided upon at extraordinary general meetings on April 23 and April 24, respectively.

The share

of the North German Lloyd company will probably be reduced by 42,970,000 marka, and the sum written off with part of the rezerve used to balance the company's losa. The capital will then be raised again 46,000,000 marks.

Similarly the

of the capital Hamburg-Amerika ling is expected to bo reduced from 57,570,000 marks to 12,010,000 marks, and then raised back to 46,370,000 marka.

It is believed the creditor banks have written off considerable part of the capital which the companies ove them, to enable the carrying out of the proposed reorganisation Router Special.
