Consolidated Gas.

One of the few exceptions to the gem
eral lists reactionary tendencies yes
'terday was the Consolidated Gas Com
pany's stock. which moved up to 49,
or within less than two points of it's
high record investigation revealed that
the persistent buying OF that stock was
in anticipation of important develop
ments in capital readJustment which is
expected to benefit shareholders very
materially. The plan now under con-
alteration, it was said yesterday, in
cludes retirement of the company's out
standing notes and the exchange of it's
new no par stock on the basis of two
tor one for its present 800 par stock.
Dividends on the new stock, it was said
yesterday, are apt to be at the rate of
IS annually. Officials Of the company
declined to confirm or deny the report.
The only information which could be
obtained from the company's offices
was the assertion that nothing definite
had been determined and no official
statement would be made. A dividend
of S. share on new stock which had
been given two for one for the present
stock would be equivalent to $40 a share
on the present capital. the regular divi-

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Rail EARNINGS i'm May.

The traffic reports for May of several
large railroads indicate that that
months gross and net earnings will be
considerably better than those of May,
1920. Rock Islands loadings totaled last
month 49, 0l. an increase of 2.4235 COM
pared with those of May, 1921, and the
Chicago &sNorthwestern's were in May
162, 7O4. an increase of 1891 in a year.
Trunk line carriers serving the Youngs-
town territory report a movement of
loaded cars in the last Malt of May
averaging 10 per cent. more than that
of April and 10 per cent. more than that
OF May. 1921 The movement in classes
of freight other than coal has improved
enough considerably to offset traffic
losses arising directly from the coal
mines shutdown. In the last week the
coal strike situation bettered to the ex-
tent that non-union mines production
increased. Current traffic showings
have given railroad officers much en-
couragement in their outlook for inn
proved earnings for 1922.

Corn Product. to the Fore

For the first time in many weeks
Corn Products assumed yesterday after
noon some Of its former life and LED
the market in a sharp upward swing
just before the close. Persistent bidding
for Corn advanced it almost three points
to 104M Shorts were taken completely
by surprise and that element Is believed
to have been largely responsible for the
sharp and unexpected upturn. So far
as could be learned, no news develop
ments were present to account for the
unusual interest in Corn Products shares.

The reactionary tendency of yester-
days market. in the opinion of most
observers was the direct result OF the
unfavorable comment on the steel
merger which followed the disclosures IL,
the Lockwood hearing on Saturday. In
certain quarters discussion went even to
the point OF r prediction that the consol-
idation might fall through for lack of
interest on the outside. The manner in
which some OF the testimony was brought
out was considered in certain quarters
as none too favorable for the mergers
satisfactory completion. No statement
from any Of the interests identified with
the merger could be obtained yesterday

Pennsylvania Crude OIL.

The advance of % cents to $3.50 bar
rel in Pennsylvania crude oil was some-
what of disappointment to interests
who had been looking for q price jump
of 80 cents. They are not entirely
discouraged in that expectation yet.
however, as they declared yesterday
another increase of similar amount
might be expected soon. 1t was de-
clared that independent refiners were
finding crude very scarce and to get
enough to keep their plants going had
been compelled to pay sizable prem
'ums. The advance yesterday was the
first change since January .. when the
price was reduced by % cents.

May earnings were at the annual rate OF
approximately $40 share on the $50, 900

Railroad Wage Cuts.

Advices received in local railway
circles from Chicago indicate that the
Railroad Labor Boards decision on the
carriers application to cut railway shop
mems wages will be announced in the
next two or three days 1t is said un-
officially that the decision will order a
reduction of 10 per cent. which would
mean an annual saving of approximately
$50, 100000 to the railroads. Wage re-
auctions covering the shopcrafts in the
foregoing amount would be satisfactory
generally to the railroads. Announce
ment of the boards ruling is said to
await only final touches in preparation
of a minority report by the three labor
representatives in the board.

There is to be conference of traf-
fic experts from the entire state of
Kansas at the rooms of the public
utilities commission Friday, when the
possibilities of the recently-opened
Oklahoma fight on freight rates. as
applied to Kansas shippers, will be
taken up.
The corporation commission of
rOklahoma has applied to the inter-
state commerce commission for a
wholesale investigation and hearing
on freight rates in Oklahoma, and in
terstate rates between points in Kan
sas, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, and
Oklahoma.
The intention of the Oklahoma COM
mission is to have rates reduced
where they charge discrimination
against Oklahoma shipping points. or
to have interstate rates between their
shipping points and those of adjoin-
ing states, raised to remove the dis
elimination which they charge.
The interests of various Kansas in
dustries are vitality affected by the
hearing and traffic men from nearly
every state which has a traffic organ
ization, will meet in Topeka tomorrow
to consider the course which shall be
followed in the hearing. The dates OF

TRACE ORIGIN OF FIRE.
Blaze in Texas Town Destroys Sixteen
Buildings at Loss of 500, 900. =

Mckinney, Tex. Sept 7.-Authori-
ties today are investigating the origin
of fire which started in a rooming
here, at o'clock last night, de-
stroyed sixteen buildings and caused
damage estimated at 100000. Fire
men were rushed to Frisco from hIc-
Kinney, Denton and Celina. Chem
ical trucks reaching the burning town
from Celina and Denton probably
saved the entire business section of
the city from destruction.
The fire was checked by the use of
