Telephone and
 Telegraph Merger
COMPLETE CONTROL IN ONE
 CORPORATION
OF ALL WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
In the United States-Ameriean TeIe- phone and Telegraph Co. Secures Control of w. U. T. Go.

Boston, Nov. 16.--A long stride tow ard the complete control by one cor poration of all wire communication in the United States was made today in the acquisition by the American Tele- phone and Telegraph company of con- trol of the Western Union Telegraph company and the possible extension of the telephone service to the far cor ners of the land without duplication or extra construction.
 New Billion Dollar Company.
 In order to make the absorption com- plete, the incorporation of a new bill lion dollar company. it Is said. will be necessary. to include the $592, 475, 400 of the bonds and stock of the American Telephone company, known as the Bell company. and the outstanding s165,- 100000 of the bonds and stock of the Western Union.
 The acquiring of the necessary. stock and voting rights of the Western Un- ion by the Bell company has been in progress for about six months. The work has been conducted quietly and only sufficient amount, said to be 51 per cent, was taken over to insure control. When the necessary amount had been secured the announcement followed almost immediately.
 A Step of Economy
 The leading officers of the Bell com pany regard the step as one of economy solely. They point out that ever since the telephone has been a factor in human life it has had to compete with the telegraph.
 Lines have been paralleled and there has been an immense amount of dupli- cation. The officers of the telephone company believe that the merger will save the Bell cOmpanv S75 00O O0O in new construction, while it will also en- able the utilization at the same time of wires for both telegraphing and tele- phoning.
 Business of the Two Companies.
 The history of the Western Union dates back to before the Civil war. but the Bell company is of comparatively recent origin. Both companies pursued the usUal method of absorbing smaller companies. The actual figures issued here today are as follows

Cotton is again king in the ex-

that Agricultural product again into
