MORE RUMELY RUM0RS
Entire New Board of Directors
May Also Be Elected.

More rumors Of important impending
changes In the management Of the NJ.
Rumely Company were current in the
financial district yesterday. 1t was re-
ported that a new board of directors
would he elected. and that the property
would be managed by the bankers inter
ested In It's affairs or their representa-
tives.
Still another report was that some i'm
portant banking interests might form
syndicate for the purpose of assuming
some of the company's obligations and
permit It TO carry on its operations with
out embarrassment. II is said that the
present situation In the company, which
has aroused so much criticism, due to the
spectacular decline in its stock, is not
question Of poor business or inability to
obtain new business, but lack of funds
To take proper care of orders on hand.

CHICAGO STOCKS.

Chicago, April 30.-The Improvement
made by Commonwealth Edison shares
and the firmer tone in Sears Roebuck
common stock furnished the strongest
features of to-days market In local Sc
curities. United States Steel common,
Illinois Brick, Diamond Match, American
Can common and Chicago Railways,
series 2, also showed fractional gains.
Peoples Gas and American Can preferred

ket was not without soft spots, although

URGE COTTON LOAN CHECK
Memphis Bankers Would Put
Warehouses Under Bond.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune

Memphis, April So.-Memphis bankers
are working on a bonded warehouse sys-
tenn, which will revolutionize the handling
of cotton throughout the South.
In addition TO asking that every cot
ton warehouse be placed under heavy
bond bankers and business men In gem
eral would require that cotton receipts
state the amount Of money loaned on cot
ton in warehouses. Under the present
system there is no check on cotton loans,
the warehouseman keeping no records Of
this kind All he is called on to do is TO
furnish cotton warehouse receipts, and
while all contend they are careful about
this, recent failures have brought out
facts which bankers and business men
say show the need OF a change.

paragraph:
"No securities, showing as large gain
in earnings month by month and year by
year. with as high margins of safety over
fixed charges and dividend requirements,
can be purchased on so high an income
basis as those OF the gas and electric cor
porations. First mortgage and first lien
collateral trust bonds of such companies,
with net earnings at from two to three
times the interest requirements, may be
bought at prices which would yield an
income rate Of 5is to 6la per cent. Pre-
ferred stocks, in which there is a large
equity in the property, showing earnings
applicable to preferred dividends, can be
purchased TO yield from to 6i2 per cent

The volume of gross earnings, when
