MERGER ROAD BOND
LIST SCORES GAINS
Speculative Industrial Issues
Have Advances —Better
Tone in Utilities.
BY CHARLES F. srEARF..
'•social Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. April 27,—The excite- I
nient in the market for merger rail- i
road shares extended today to the bonds i
of the independent lines that may '•
logically be bene fit tod by the present i
tendency to draw into the large systems •
some of the outlying roads.
This resulted in sharp advances in j
Peoria and Eastern incomes, which were i
up 4* - points and over 7 points in the |
past two days, in Chicago and Alton j
3 > ,s with a rise of about 2 points, and .
in'Chicago Great Western and Chicago I
and Eastern Illinois s Other strong
bonds less directly allectcd by present j
consolidation activities, were lowa Cen
tral ss. Kansas City Southern 3s and
Denver ss. , . .. . |
The efleet of the Delaware and Hud- ,
*nn profit from its sales of Wabash and j
Lehigh Valley stock was plainly seen ;
in the rise of over a point in Hudson j
Coal 5s They sold today 5 points above
the price to which they broke earlier In
the month. Delaware and Hudson re
funding 4s rose a half point, in contrast
to the heaviness of other high-grade
issues Panhandle 5 per cent bonds were
un l 5 4 points.
Next in importance to these move
ments were the fluctuations in specu
lative Industrial bonds. Leading them
was Andes Coper 7s with a rise of 4
points to a new high record price. Ana
conda Copper 7s rose 2 point* imd J. j
Xavser 5 1 s, 2'*. Armour s’jS were j
up a point and Brooklyn Union Gas,
4 points. There was a moderate recov
erv in Remington Rand 5 as. as air > *
heavy tone to National Radia or 6<
under 04 and pronounced weakness in
loriliard s’-s as a result of the latest
phase of the price-cutting war
Non-legal public*utility bonds showed ;
a little better tone, among theni Phu-,
adelphia Co. 5s and Columbia Gas &
Eleciric ss. ""here were also fractional
recoveries in some of the legal 4 A j
The postponement by the Federal,
Reserve Bank of New York of a higher
discount rate did not change the sit
uation materially surrounding high,
grade corporation bonds. Several of the
U, S. Liberty and U S Treasury cer
t ww6 lower. Northern
• 4$ went down below 95 for the first {
time on this movement.
The onlv color in the foreign market
todav was given by the rise in all of
the Italian 7 per cent industrials w.tn
warrants atta hed. Thev were up from
1 to 2 points and at the highest aver
age of the wear. Elsewhere the list
was dull and very little changed.
This week's total of bond issues was ;
raised considerably today by the new
offerings, amounting to $69,000.000_
which represented various types of
financing and included a number of
common and preferred stock issues.

tributing part of the huge capital
surplus in the form of a special dividend

tinued in demand. There was reason
to believe that liquidation in the oil
stocks had been completed some time

COTTON SCORES GAIN
| ' ON RAINS IN SOUTH
Relatively Firm Showing of Liver
pool Market Also Is Factor
in the Advance.
By rh* A «*<wl aied Pn»*».
NEW' YORK. April 27.—The cotton
market opened steady today at a de
cline of 2 points on May, but gen
erally 2 to 7 points higher on buying
promoted by reports of rains and cool
weather in the South.
The relatively firm showing ot late
Liverpool cables also was a factor, but
the advance, which extended to 21.20
for May and 20.76 for October, or about
10 to 13 points net higher, met a great
deal of realizing • for over the week
end This probably was encouraged
by the possibility of clearing weather
after further rains in the Eastern belt,
but the market held fairly steady at
the end of the first hour, when prices
were within 5 or 6 points of the best.
Private cables said there had been
realizing in the Liverpool market, but
that reports from Manchester were
more encouraging with a fair cloth
business pending for India.
There were reactions of about 8 to 10
points from the best, but the volume
of business tapered off on the decline
and prices firmed up again when there
appeared to be some buying inspired
by the detailed weather reports of rains
in the belt. At midday May was sell
ing around 21 17 and October at 20.77,
making net advances of 8 to 14 points.

“KEY” INDUSTRIES
ON STABLE BASIS
Usual April Slump Absent.
High Rate of Building
Considered Normal.
BY J. C. ROYLE.
Special Dinpateh to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 27.— The old bally
hoo about “key men’’ In business Is
dying out, but the discussion of key
Industries today shows tliat the opera
tions of trade, commerce and industry
now are on a firmer and more stable
basis than at this time last year. This
statement has been fully supported by
the announcement of first quarter
earnings in a score of industries which
bear on the general situation.
The showings made by United States
Steel and General Motors provided out- j
standing evidence to thi3 effect, but. j
not the only evidence by any means. I
The visual slump which comes to in
dustrial activity in April, a between-sea
son month, has been notably lacking.
The building construction industry and
all its affiliated lines, back to raw ma
terial production, have shown a bet
ter than normal trend.
The other automobile companies with
possibly one or two exceptions have
shown gains, which, if they did not
jarallel those of General Motors, at least
were far in excess of what the conserva
tive statisticians expected two months
ago. The steel plants have kept their
pace instead of dropping off in pro
duction and when the improvements in
methods, labor efficiency and equipment
are taken into consideration, are high
above the April level for many years.
Heavy Building Normal.
It is now coming to be considered
that the high rate of building con
struction in this country Is not abnor
mal. but normal, and that unless un
favorable general conditions crop up it
may be expected to continue. Money is
available for building operations in ade
quate amounts and the costs are chart
ing a recovery steady level.
A better knowledge of the real amount
of cotton carried over from the last
crop year has left a better feeling in
the cotton States. The canning and
fruit outlook is for excellent prices. The
grain crops are still uncertain owing to
prospective weather conditions, but the
general agricultural outlook is fine.
The live stock men are prospering to
such an extent that they are choosing
their own time and 'convenience for
marketing.
The business machine and office
’ equipment manufacturers are taking
, advantage of the unprecedented ar
: tivity which is flooding plants with
j orders. The same is true of the ma-
I chine tool manufacturers. The air
i plane manufacturers are bene fitting
! from the intense interest aroused by
j record flights and added interest in
j commercial aviation.
Electric power output is between 6
i and 7 per cent higher in most indus-
I trial sections than a year ago. This has
I been an aid to the non-ferrous metals,
I which have displayed steadiness, despite
| the possibility of overloading the mar
i kets. The possibility of huge consoli
i dations among the public utility com
oanlcs is still a constant topic of con
j versation in financial circles, despite
i the denial that Public Service of New
| Jersey was to be merged with United
Gas A: Improvement of Philadelphia.
Limping Industries Improve Little.
i While the businesses which have been
j orosperous are becoming more prosper
| ous. the limping industries are showing
! little improvement. The cotton textile
I groups are still discouraged. This Is
not true of silk or rayon manufac-
I turers. but woolen men are as pessi
; mistic as wool growers are confident.
The oil industry is bettering slowly.
The coal miners and operators are stui
in the gloomy depths with conditions
blocking an exit to industrial dayught.
Th" rubber manufacturers are ceasing
to tremble so violently over the situa
tion as time goes on. and no cut In t.re
orices has been recorded. They are
fast getting rid of high-cost inventory.
The low joints and high centers are
being smoothed out of the railroad
•M-nation The purchase of the Delaware
& Hudson holdings in the Wabash and
Lehigh Valley roads by the Pennsyl
vania has definitely eliminated the
problem of a fifth transcontinental
svstem under the leadership of Leonor
F. ioree Moreover, it has opened the
door to agreements as to allocation of
the loose end roads of the East among
th" four existing systems, the Pennsyl
vania. Baltimore .V Ohio. New York
Central and the Van Sweringen system.
Some tentative agreements are under
stood alreadv to have been reached and
it is not doubted in railroad circles
that the other three systems were fully
advised beforehand as to the negotia
tions between Mr Loree and the Penn
sylvania Os course, any such agree
ments must be subject to approval of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
WHEAT TRADE HEAVY;

Reports of Persistent Adverse
