Firm Again Seeks AMR Stock: For the second time in less than two months, a little-known California-based company emerged with offers to buy stock in AMR Corp., parent of American Airlines, the nation’s biggest carrier. HP Capital Corp., of La Mesa said it has made an offer to develop a “comprehensive plan to restructure AMR” and to acquire an equity interest in AMR’s common stock. An AMR spokesman at the company’s Dallas headquarters said AMR had not received the letter. AMR said it had received an approach from the firm in October and that it responded with a request for further information. AMR stock closed down $1.125 at $50.75 a share on the New York Stock Exchange.
