tinue irregular. 1t is expected that the
harvesting of the Texas wheat crop,
estimated at 30,000,o00 bushels, will be
under way within the next thirty days,

same Is true Of the wool clip in New

B Bt1siness Ne " j
Says Price LeveI Is
Safer Than Fcar ire

Lowered prices for bss;c connod-
aties are an indication OF inherent
strength IN the general economic
situation, in the opinion Of the Msr-
ehants National Bank Of Providence.
K. /. The bank, in iss May lstt4r On
general business conditions, says:
"The price level to-day is much
safer than year ago. This is 4
consideration of prime Importance
and shows that the people arc do
ing the things needed to resstablish
trade upon safe basis and to make
it healthy and strong. The great
factor to remember is that basic
commodities are 45M per cent down.
Reduced business by the mail
order houses reflects the decreased
purchasing power Of farming eom-
munities, but chain stores in the
largo cities are showing gains over
last year. This means that price
concessions are attracting buyers IN
cities where the department stores
and other merchants have conducted
important selling campaigns.

Segregation Plans
Of Reading Are
Argued i'm Court
Holders Of Common Present

Those Of Railroad and
Government at Phila.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2.-Thc man.
nrer in which the Reading Company prop
critics, ordered dissolved by the United
States Supreme Court, shall be segrega-
ed was held under advisement by the
Federal District Court after hearing
here to-day.
The court asked the Reading Com
pany and the government to file
printed copy OF modified plan. as
agreed to by them, within ten days.
Contentious Of group of preferred
stockholders that they should share
with the common stockholders in the
division Of the $83,0oO,0o0 Of book sur
plus in the Reading Company, a hold
ing company for the coal and other in
terests of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway Company, were heard.
Since the last hearing in the case.
conferences between the government
and counsel for the Reading Company
resulted in the elimination Of two points
which were to have been discussed to-
day, said William Clark Mason, Of coun-
sci for the Reading, in opening the dis
cussion, One, he said, was an agree
ment that tho stockholders should mot
be required to pay 10 per cent to the
bondholders for the release Of the coal
property from the lien of the general
mortgage and the other was for keeping
the stock intact and the Reading COM
pany assigning its equity in the stock
to new corporation and issuing cer-
tificates of interest to the stockholders
benefiting under the dissolution plan.
Allan McCarty, counsel for the Pros
sen committee Of common stockholders
offered an alternative plan, which he
said would make it unnecessary for the
courts to pass upon the respective legal
rights of common and preferred stock
holders. His plan suggested the coal
company's stock and property be placed
in the hands of q trustee until 1t could
be sold on the market at figure near
it's real value; that the proceeds be
placed In tha treasury Of the READING
Company and distributed according to
the terms or the stock certificates of
the common and preferred classes. and
il the distribution were not satisfactory
TO either, all legal right could be set
tied in proceedings other han those
now before the court.
The common stockholders contend the
preferred stockholders have received all
the dividends to which they are entitled
under their contract, and the surplus to
be distributed should go entirely to the
common stockholders. This is denied by
the preferred stockholders.

Be Made To-day; Con-
ference To Be Continued

Presidents of subsidiary companies
Of the United States Steel Corporation
conferred yesterday with Ebert f..
Gary. chairman, at the corporations
offices, II Broadway. Although it was
announced at the conclusion of the
meeting that no announcement would
be made, it was understood that the
question of revised wage scales came
up for consideration.
On April 13 the Steel Corporation
put into effect reduction in its price
schedules affecting practically all
products except steel rails. and ever
since then the trade has been looking
for an announcement by Judge Gary
that the pay Of workers would be
lowered. The conference with the
subsidiary company heads, it was re-
ported, would be continued to-day, fol-
lowing which a formal statement
may be issued, as Judge Gary is ex-
pected to leave this afternoon for q
trip. to White Sulphur Springs.
The last annual report of the Steel
Corporation showed that the average
daily wage for each employee in 1920
was ~. Tie total amount of the
ccompany's pay roll was $5S1, ,556 1925.
Last Last year wage increases aggregating
25 per cent were put into effect, one Of
10 per cent on February and another
OF 10 per cent in August and Septem-
Der.
The average number of employees.
IN 1920 was 261, ,037, although the
March total reached 275,552. Due to
the business depression, it is under
stood that approximately 100000 men
have been dropped from the pay roll.
Should the corporation decide to cut
wages the decision, it is understood.
will be the result Of an exhaustive in
veatigation Of living costs.
