BOOM In BONDS
OF WESTINGHOUSE
Price Up Nearly 5 Points
on Plan for Raising
New Capital.

To permit the raising Of new ,apital
by the sale of additional stock dircc-
tors Of the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company yesterday
adopted plan which requests the hold
ers of the convertible 3 per cent de-
benture bonds TO consent to the elm
nation of the restriction in the trust
indenture that no additional stock shall
be issued at price more than 10 per
cent below the market value.
In consideration OF the bondhold-
ers' consent to the removal Of this pro-
vision 1t Is proposed TO reduce the
price at which common stock may be
issued for the bonds upon conversion
from eco, the price now fixed by the
agreement, to par for the remainder
of the calendar year and thereafter at
10.
In statement issued after yester-
days meeting IL was explained that the
company will not require additional
capital for its present volume Of bust
ness or for any increase expected in
the near future, as adequate provision
without borrowing has been made for
the execution Of the large orders re-
Gently received from foreign govern
ments. The change In the bond in
denture is contemplated for the ex-
pected increase in business which Is
expected in better times, so that there
will be no handicap in obtaining addi
tional capital. The company's state
ment continues:
"As an incident to this plan, In case
It becomes operative, either common
stock Of the company to the amount re-
quired for conversion under the pro-
posed modification, or new bonds con-
vertible into common stock at the re-
duced price, would be offered TO the
stockholders for pro rata subscription
at 105 and to the extent that stock or
bonds are sold upon that basis the pro-
ceeds would be used in retiring the
present bonds at the redemption price.
accordingly, under the proposed
plan bondholders would receive either
(a) cash at the redemption price of
new bonds convertible into common
stock at the reduced price, or (c) part
cash and part new bonds.
IAN agreement providing for this
plan is in course of preparation under
will be depositary and Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. managers. 1t will rest with the
managers to determine Whether and
when the plan shall become operative"
The statement issued by the West
inghouse directors was not made public
until after the close of the market,
but en- previous reports that they would
be callable at l05 the debentures were
traded in to the extent of more than
100000 at an advance ranging from
1914 at the opening to 104 at the close.

COTTON SLUMPS
ON HEAVY SELLING
Market Excited by War Talk In
the Orient--prices at
New Low Mark.

A renewal Of heavy general hquida-
ton and more or less excited selling
sent the cotton market into new low
ground for the movement during yes
terday's trading, with October con-
tracts selling at 9.9sc, or very nearly
cent a pound below the recent high
records. The volume Of the selling set
in motion by weakness in Liverpool, sp-
prehension over tho strained relations
between Japan ar q China and nervous
ness over the international situation
generally was probably a surprise 20
many traders, who had imagined that
the rally of Tuesday had reflected
pretty well liquidated market. Prob
ably liquidation by Tuesdays buyers
was one Of the factors in yesterdays
decline, in addition 20 which it was
rumored that long lines bought much
earlier in the season were being sold
out on the break, and there was also
considerable selling from local and
Southern sources.
Weakness in the stock market may
have been partly responsible FOR the
heavy offerings from Wall Stree:
houses, and the failure Of unfayorabls
weather news 20 create any important
buying movement doubtless contributed
Z
and old longs. Closing prices were
weak at the lowest level Of the day, and
from 80 to a. points under Tuesday's
final figures.
The market showed some resistance
TO selling pressure during the morning.
l The opening was 10 20 Is points lower
in response 20 the easy cables, but
early fluctuations were somewhat lrreg-
ular, a2d il was evident that reports Of
renewed rains in the Southwest and
belief that the technical position Of the
market had been strengthened by pre-
ylous liquidation we're sufficient 10 at
tract some support At any rate, after
showing q net loss Of about n 20 %
points, the market rallied or Q points
from the lowest on the bullish weekly
weather report and covering. The buy
Ing appeared 70 petsr out on even this
small improvement however, and the
afternoon decline was accelerated by
reports that the South was Offering
spots freely without finding much de-
mand, and on pr odictions that unfavor-
able war news from the allied stand
point would be reflected in another
weak set Of cables this morning.
Southern spot markets as officially
reported were unchanged to % points
lower, such markets as Houston, CAL
weston, New Orleans and Memphis
showing declines, while Savannah and
Augusta were unchanged, with gener-
ally moderate sales. The largest spot
business reported was at Norfolk,
where 1885 bales were SOLD at un-
changed prices. Exports for tho day
were 23,70O bales, making 1892, 1876 so
far this season, against 1929, $50 last
year. Prominent London statisticians
estimate the worlds consumption Of
American cotton this season at 1850
600 bales, suggesting an addition 10
last years carryover Of about 1900, 900
bales from the growth Of 1914.
