mission of employees to ownership of
the stock at $40 share, which is about
the current market price The amount
to be offered to each worker is limited
to fifty shares, and the stock may be
paid for on the partial payment plan,
which calls for an initial payment Of
S5 share and 81 per month install
ment running for five years if neces-
sary. The company will grant bonus
Of S. share at the end of three years
on each share of stock, which will be
held in escrow during this period and

Pan-American Petroleum

With regard to the reports of a
stock dividend declaration by the di-
rectors of the Pan-American Petro-
leum Company at their meeting next
week in Los Angeles it was said yes
terday that action of this character
will depend largely on whether the
soldier bonus bill carrying a retro
active tax of 10 per cent on stock divi-
dends will be passed by Congress. If
it seems at that time the measure is
certain Of defeat it is believed the
board will go ahead with its present
plans. E. l.. Doheny, president of the
Pan American and Mexican Petroleum
companies, is on his way to the Coast
to attend the meeting next week. He
will also attend the Democratic con-
vention in San Francisco as delegate
from California.

Crucible Shorts Run to Cover

That bulky short interest in Cruel
Bile Steel had been built up during the
recent decline below 116 was again
demonstrated yesterday when the stock
was run up 7h points to 1872. The
urgent buying was probably acceler-
ated by publication of reports that
directors at their June meeting in
Pittsburgh will decide upon the size
of the cash dividend to be paid on
the $37, 100000 common stock now out
standing The recent payment Of a so
per cent stock dividend added Sl2,-
100000 to the previous total of s25,-
900, 900. The present cash dividend is
II per cent and it is expected that
there will be no change in this rate
at the next meeting Of the board. In
some quarters it is believed that Cruel
BILE will pay another stock dividend be-
fore the end of the year.

Expect Stock Dividend

Directors Of the American Bosch
Magnetic Company are scheduled to
meet to-day, and it was reported in the
financial district yesterday that an an
nouncement would be made Of the dec
laration of stock dividend. Just how
large the distribution will be is prob
lematical, but talk was heard that it
would be either 10 per cent or 20 per
cent. The Bosch company has proved
to be a big money maker. Earnings
are said to be running at the rate of
$50 a share, in contrast with the cur
rent cash dividend rate of $40 a share
The stock moved up point and half
yesterday on expectations of favorable
action by the directors at to-day 5
meeting.

Call Loans Reduced

Some of the current ease in the call
money rate is attributed to the fact
that brokers have materially reduced
their call loan account since the first
Of the month. Estimates of this reduc-
tion yesterday placed it in the neigh
borhood of S75,0OO,O 900. This also prob
ably accounts for the fact that several
of the important Stock Exchange
houses are now lenders of call money
Reports are current that some time
money is being placed, but bankers said
yesterday that the total loaned within
the last few days has not been large.

In Wall Street
No Holiday Saturday

Governors of the Stock Exchange
turned down the petition Of members
for holiday Saturday, which, if
granted, would have given brokers n
three-day suspension of business, as
Memorial Day, falling on Sunday this
year, is to be observed on Monday.
Although the petition for closing Sat
urday was signed by 565 members of
the exchange, a member of the govern
ing committee explained that there
seemed to be no valid reason for not
remaining open, as the banks will con-
tinue to do business as usual.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Very striking upward movements of
the leading European exchanges fea-
tured the market yesterday. The mark,
which during the dismal February days
was down to one cent, yesterday
climbed above 3.1b, and sterling, francs,
lire, kronen and Czecho-Slovak crowns
moved sharply upward.
Bankers are somewhat surprised at
the persistence of the movement, which
is clearly recognition of the fact
that the Old World emerged from the
winter in better condition than the
pessimists predicted.

with those Of week ago, follow:

Secretary of the Treasury Houston's

out that defation would be painful to
some forms of industry, made the pre-
diction that ultimately there should
be steady period Of industrial growth

products In that country between So

steel sold in Canada have been usually

Sing Sing, now was gone. Every keep

to treat the prisoners fairly, and, in
return, every prisoner was expected
with courtesy and respect. The prison
was to be run on progressive basis
he said, but order would be main
tanned always.
The new warden entered the death

Entry Into the Commercial
Field Expected in March;
New Stations Planned

coutrol of the Marconi Wireless Tel
.~renh Company of America has passed
from British into American hands, it
v,s announced yesterday. following
= election Of officers by the Radio Cor
norssion Of America, which aims to es-
tsblish q domestic and interoceanic
commercial wireless system to compete
With the existing land wire and cable
companies.
The General Electric Company of
schenectady is the chief financial
beetsr Of the project. 1t was stated
~ edward j. Nally, president Of the
new corporation, that the interest Of
the General Electric Company in the
Radio Corporation Of America was
every large" although not controlling
one. The charter provides, however,
that so per cent of the stock must
always be held by Americans.
1nsistence by the United States gov
ernment that American wireless sta
lions be freed from any vestige of con-
trol by foreigners was the primary
motive impelling separation from Mar
coni's Wireless Telegraph Company
Ltd, Of England, the parent corpora
tien.
Stations in South America
Arrangements have been made with
the British concern, it was made
known, for the formation of South
American company, to be managed by
the American organization. The Radio
Cooperation of America will own ma
jority of the stock in various companies
that are to construct stations in South
American countries and afford direct
communication between that continent
and Europe.
@As regards rates and service" said
Mr.. Nally last night, I'VE except to be
able to show that it will be an advan.
tage to patronize US in preference te
the wire lines, either over land OIL
under sea. We are going to be real
competitor"
Mr.. Nally added that only the with.
holding by the government of posses
sion of the wireless station was delay
ing the new company's actual entry
into the commercial field.
"The Presidents order returning the
railroads to their owners makes US
confident we will soon get our property
back" he said. ~ am confident ws
shall start operation by the last OF
March. We are maintaining a large
force Of employees in that belief"
Gets New Radio Devices
In addition to it's financial support
the General Electric Company has
turned over to the Radio Corporation
the improved wireless apparatus it has
recently developed, notable among
which is the Alexanderson high fre-
quency alternator.
This device, Mr.. Nally explained
generates the continuous wave, taking
the place of the dance wave, in trans.
mitting. Its chief attributes are more
power. more continuity of power anc
