Macy Flops Four Points When
Dividend Is Discontinued;
A. T. and T. Pays
New York, Nov. 16.—(A*)—Stocks
were a bit unsettled Wednesday, but
trading during most of the session
was too dull to afford much idea as
to what the market’s intentions really
were.
R. H. Macy flopped more than 4
points when directors announced dis
continuance of the annual 5 per cent
stock dividend, although the regular
cash payment of 50 cents was main
tained. American Telephone, off a
couple of points prior to its dividend
meeting, firmed when the directors,
as expected, voted another “regular”
of $2.25 a share. Otherwise fluctua
tions were small. Such stocks as U,
S. Steel, American Tobacco “B,”
American Can, Case, Harvester. U. S.
Industrial Alcohol, Allied Chemical
qpd New York Central were occa
sionally off from a fraction to about
a point. Borden, Columbian Carbon
and Air Reduction tended higher.
Rails, as a group, were neglected.
The regular quarterly dividend of
American Telephone was ordered.
While the company’s earnings, equiv
alent to $5.92 a share in the first nine
months or about $1 less than divi
dend requirements, made it necessary
for the company to dip into surplus,
it was held that the company was
well able to do this. On Dec. 1 last
it had more than $50,000,000 cash and
temporary cash investments of about
$240,000,000.
The market closed around the lows
of the quiet session. Net losses in
some leaders ran from 1 to 3 points
in a turnover of approximately a
million shares.

ONCOMING OF GRAIN
WIN ARGENTINA
DEPRESSES PRICES
Canadian Wheat Export Busi
ness Has Somewhat
Steadying Influence
Chicago, Nov. 16. —(A*) —Overshad-
owed by the oncoming of the new
wheat crop in Argentina, grain prices
tended downward much of the time
Wednesday.
Canadian wheat export business,
totaling upwards of 1,000,000 bushels,
had a somewhat steadying effect.
The market here was easily influ
enced by any good-sized purchasing
or selling, and trade sentiment was
decidedly mixed.
Wheat closed unsettled %-% under
Tuesday's finish Dec. 44%-45, May
49%-50, corn %-% off. Dec. 26%-%,
May 31%-%, oats unchanged to %
up, and provisions unchanged to 5
cents higher.
Price setbacks in wheat were later
curbed by unfavorable reports from
winter crop territory southwest ex
cept in the immediate section around
Salina, and Topeka. Kansas. Snow
falls were apparently of little benefit,
and with unseasonably cold weather
further seeding was reported as im
possible. Predictions of a much re
duced acreage were current as a re
sult.
A leading crop authority comment
ed that cold weather in the southwest
would be especially hard on young
wheat, and particularly on wheat
where the soil was dry or the plant
was fly-infested. Liverpool advices
said British wheat holders were li
quidating old contracts, fearing that
tenders on deliveries would Include
Canadian shipments via United States
ports. Instability of the New York
stock market was also responsible for
some selling of wheat here. Corn and
oats lacked aggressive support from
buyers.
Provisions were neglected.
WHEAT FUTURES PRICE
CHANGES ARE UNIMPORTANT
Minneapolis, Nov. 16.—(A>) —The lo
cal wheat market remained quiet
Wednesday and at the close price
changes were unimportant. Easiness
in the stock market was a moderate
influence but this was offset by ad
vices from the southwest concerning
the weather.
A sharp loss in acreage is expected
because of the termination of the
dry weather by a cold wave which
effectually halted seeding operations.
Export business early Wednesday was
In excess of a million bushels. Coarse
grain futures were quiet and averag
ing easy in tone.
December wheat closed 3-8 cent
higher and May 1-8 cent higher. De
cember oats closed unchanged, and
May 1-8 cent lower. December rye
closed unchanged and May 1-8 cent
lower. December flax closed 1-8 cent
lower and May 3-4 cent lower. De
cember barley closed 3-8 cent lower
and May 1-4 cent lower.
A desire to load boat£ before the
close of navigation is developing a
very strong demand for diversion
point cash wheat and undertone con
tinued strong Wednesday on high
protein type. Durum wheat was
scarce and in very good demand.
Winter wheat prices were nominally
unchanged with not enough stuff to
make a market.
Cash corn was in good demand.
Oats demand was fair to good and
receipts light. Rye was in strong
elevator demand. Barley demand
was good. Flax offerings were very
light and in strong diversion point
demand.

Big Realty Auction
Gets Little Returns
Chicago, Nov. 16.—(A I ) —The great
est realty auction ever held is on,
but its cash returns are meager.
For most of the 400.000 parcels of
Cook county real estate, worth more
than $1,500,000,000 and ordered sold
for $100,764,641 in 1930 taxes, are be
ing forfeited to the state, since few
will buy even at extremely low prices.
About a 20th of the total so far has
been offered by County Treasurer
Joseph B. McDonough, but scarcely
SIO,OOO in cash has been received, his
office said Wednesday.
Detailed figures are npt obtainable,
but the property ordered sold includes
about half the realty in the county;
on the remainder $120,687,447 has been
collected.
Interest in the sales was heightened
this week when County Judge Ed
mund K. Jarecki ordered 56,000 par
cels sold for $22,000,000 in taxes. This
is owned by the 28,000 members of
the Association of Real Estate Tax
payers. who had filed objections and
instituted a “tax strike.” Jarecki
dismissed the objections.

ENGLAND, GERMANY
AND FRANCE PLAN
ECONOMIC PROGRAM
Tripartite Consortium Is De
signed to Rehabilitate
Stricken Europe
Paris, Nov. 16.—(yP)—The formation
of a tripartite economic consortium
among France, Germany and Great
Britain, and designed to rehabilitate
Europe, was announced Wednesday
by Raymond Patenotre, the Amer
ican-born under-secretary for nation
al economy.
The first project will be the offer
ing of a 17,000.000,000 franc loan for
the electrification of railways in Po
land, Rumania. Irak, and Portugal.
(This sum is equivalent currently to
$680,000,000).
The Paris edition of the New York
Herald-Tribune said France and Eng
land each would provide 40 per cent
of the loan and Germany would con
tribute 20 per cent.
The consortium, as described by M
Patenotre on his arrival from Ber
lin, was said to be purely an economic
arrangement, but, as approved by the
three governments, the program is an
outgrowth of the visit of the then
Premier Pierre Laval and the late
Aristide Briand to Berlin in 1931.
Premier Edouard Herriot will be the
titular head of the consortium in
France and Chancellor Franz von
Papen In Germany. N. Patenotre, as
the vice president for France, will be
in actual charge of operations with
headquarters in Paris. The German
minister of national economy will be
the German vice president.
The group will consist of three syn
dicates: First, Franco-German fi
nancial experts: second. Anglo-Fran
co-Gcrman bankers, and third, a
Franco-German syndicate designed to
carry out recommendations of the
second group in the electrification
projects.
M. Patenotre said guarantees as to
insurance, security, and non-competi
tion in industrial bidding would con
stitute the underlying principles of
the organization.
“We foresee a return to prosperity
by the natural process of the develop
ment of industrialization,” he said.
“The unemployed in the smaller de
pressed countries will be given work,
while the jobless in the larger coun
tries will be relieved by the operation
of factories.”
The ground work of the plan was
said to combine French capital and
German industry.
j Woman Refuses to
Believe Robber j
$ *
Chicago, Nov. 16.—</P> —Miss
Marie Nelson doesn’t believe
everything she hears and thereby
has proved it takes more than a
pistol to make a robber.
As manager of a hotel she was
going about her business when a
man walked in Tuesday night,
pointed his weapon at her and
announced he was a robber.
“I don't believe it,” she answer
ed. “Put that gun away; you
might hurt someone. The money
we have here is for our employes’
pay day.”
Refusing to put up her hands,
Miss Nelson summoned two bell
boys and said:
“This man says lie's r robber.
He's crazy.”
“Crazy nothing,” one of the
boys replied, whereupon both of
them elevated their hands.
Still defying the intruder Miss
Nelson turned her back to him
and called the police. When she
turned around again he was on
his way out—empty-handed.

ribs and dislocated his shoulder. Al
though suffering’ great pain, he
crawled to the switch and threw It in
