It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of United States Properties, Inc. (``USPI''). Questions have been raised regarding the accuracy of assertions by USPI, and by others, in documents sent to and statements made to market-makers of the stock of USPI, other broker-dealers, and to investors concerning, among other things: (1) the identity of the persons in control of the operations and management of the company; (2) the purported members of USPI's advisory board; and (3) the trading and true value of the common stock of USPI. The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the securities of the above-listed company. Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the above listed company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT, October 8, 1997 through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on October 21, 1997. By the Commission. Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary. [FR Doc. 97-27096 Filed 10-8-97; 11:30 am] BILLING CODE 8010-01-M
