LOCAL OPINION VARIES
AS TO MONOL|NE DEAL
Brokers Express Doubt and Conf
dence on Rumored Merger.

A striking diversity of opinion prevails
among local brokers concerning the
probable purchase of the Monoline Com
pany by Mergenthaler Linotype inter
ests. Holders of stock in each company
take directly opposite views as to the
possibility of the rumored deal. and
authentic information on the real Sit
uation is decidedly scarce.
The quarterly meeting of the Mer-
genthaler Company will be held in New
York next Tuesday. 1t is not unlikely
that the dividend question will be dis
cussed at the conference. and there
seems to be some ground for the be-
lief that an extra of 2k per cent will
be declared.
From the consensus of local opinion
there is little likelihood that the merger
proposition. II one really exists, will be
acted on at the meeting. Those who
the purchase will not actually be made
until later in the season, while those
who hold conflicting views base their
assumption on the idea that the com
bination will never be effected.
On one hand the opinion prevails that
Mergenthaler officials have not even con-
templated a purchase for the simple
reason that they really do not want
the Monoline interests. Rumors of the
intended transaction recall 10 the
brokers entertaining this view a SIM
liar occurrence several years ago, when
the report was circulated that Mergen-
thaler was about to be bought by Mono
line. For four or five days Mergenthal-
er stock declined steadily. recediag
many points, and then the truth be-
came known. Reaction was instanta-
neous. With quick, sharp rebounds. the
price rose higher than the original quo
tations
Strength is given to the report of 4
contemplated purchase. however, by the
positive statement that some Monoline
machines were now in the rival COM
pany's factory. This would indicate
that there Is really something substan-
tial back of the current reports.
1t is confldentially asserted that the
Monoline rights in the United States
are to be purchased for SO coo in
stock, and that 5,O0o. 900 in stock IS
TO be issued TO the original stockhold-
ers. In this event the stock would he
increased from $40 0O0, 900 to $4,000.
600. These figures. however. are a mere
matter of speculation. The outcome
remains 10 be seen.

as the disbursing agent for the five
millions appropriated by Congress for
the ST. Louis Exposition marks the
close of a sharp contest among three
prominent men in st. Louis for the
place. Failure on the part of St. Louis
to bring forward a united Endorsement
for anyone led Secretary Shaw TO 20
entirely outside of ST. Louis and select
the Iowa man.
The st. Louisans were insistent that
the Secretary should not go outside Of
their city in choosing a man. One OF
the candidates was Charles Parsons,
leading banker OF ST. Louis. Mr.. Par
sons was opposed on the ground that he
was not as openly in favor of the expo

a larger scale than ever before at
tempted. The question whether there
would be an exhibit was fully settled
this morning, when a letter was re-
ceived from the exposition authorities
containing definite information that a
lake for the Saving Service would
be furnished.
Plans of the lake and description of
its location also came in. The lake

men to the exposition, and they will
give two exhibitions daily, one in the
morning and one in the afternoon. At
Buffalo there were but eleven men and
one exhibition a day. The equipment
Will be the most modern. The men will
be located in a house erected close to

wanted the fe-Saving Service to share
a lake with the FiIipinos. This the
Government declined.

some weeks ago. and concluded it would
be unsatisfactory 10 compel the men to
