Columbia Graphophone.

The market for the Columbia GRAPHIC
phone Manufacturing Comparfys shares
has been featured lately by buying by
interests talking of the company's pro-
posed entrance into the radio field. Two
stories have been circulated. One Is
that the company is planning CONSOLE
dation with present big radio company,
probably the Radio Corporation OF
America, and a combination of the BUSH
ness interests of each. The other story
is that the company will 60 into the
radio field independently and that 1t is
investigating several patents, from
which certain apparatus will be selected
for manufacture in its present plants.
Such step, it was said. would not
interfere materially with its production
Of monographs and would permit the
company to obtain a share Of the earn
ings available as a result Of the wide
spread craze for radio telephone. VI
flcials and banking interests fndentifled
with the company decline to discuss
either proposal.

Steel Merger Meetings.

Meetings Of representatives or the
seven independent steel companies dis
cussing a big consolidation are being
held continuously in New York and i
was declared yesterday that negotiations
were nearer conclusion. The rough
waters of the valuation period have
been navigated almost safely, with a
minimum Of friction, 1t was asserted,
and present indications arc that future
negotiations viii have smooth sailing
1t was pointed out. however, that there
was an enormous amount OF detail, tech-
nical and otherwise, which would have
to be Strengthened out before any defin-
tie announcement could be made and
it was intimated that It might be months
before the public would be given any
thing in the way of official information
concerning the progress of negotiations.

Columbia Gas and Electric.

The Columbia Gas and Electric Com
pany's shares advanced sensationally
yesterday on publication OF the an
nouncement that IL won complete vic
tory in its fight for higher rates in Ohio.
The turnover in the stock was around
$1,000 shares. covering a range between
$50 and S77s. At the higher figure
the stock showed a net gain of 2ss
points. The case in which the victory
was won was in the Court Of Appeals In
Ohio, which denied petition request
ing an injunction restraining the opera
tion or new gas rate contract between
the company and the city OF Cincinnati.
That rate. which became effective in
December for Ave years. provides for a
price of so cents n thousand feet, with
a sliding scale upward during the win
ter in contrast to a previous rate of 35
cents

ST. Louis-southwesten.

The st. Louis-Southwestern Railways
earnings since the cessation Of Federal
control have given rise to belief in more
than one quarter OF the financial COM
munity that the road soon Will be in a
position TO pay dividends on it's pre-
ferred stock. on which there has been
no disbursement since 1914. il is esti-
mated that it's 1921 earnings were suffi-
cient to cover 5 per cent. dividend
on the $40. $50 OF its preferred stock
with a margin OF approximately 50
share to spare for its common shares.
Operating for ten months without Gov
eminent guaranty in 1920. the Cotton
Belt earned the equivalent of Sll.7O
share on it's junior stock. In the first
two months of 1922 the road showed
surplus of S64,4S5 after fixed charges
against a surplus OF s22.54f for the cor
responding period of 1921. 1t is prob
able that dividends will not be consid-
cred seriously, however, until the physi-
cal condition of the property be bettered.

more than ordinarily bad shape when
private management was resumed in

The Pennsylvania Railroads directors
will meet to-day in Philadelphia for
action on its quarterly dividend. Inter-
ests close TO the company expect that
no change from its l per cent. disburse-
ment paid in the last four quarters win
be made The roads management has
stated that its first ambition Is to restore
its per cent. yearly rate and its earn
ings in the first quarter OF 1922 have
been running in excess OF that annual
rate on its stock. but operating econ
oniies are still being rigidly applied in
the operation OF the system. and. in the
view of its managers. the company's
roadway and rolling stock should be re-
stored TO good condition before the div
idend be increased 1t Is believed. fur
thermore, that the board will await the
outcome OF substantial issues affecting
freight rates and railroad wages before
taking up the question OF larger
dividend.

BUSHELS AND DOLLARS

The Department of Agriculture
states that the principal farm crops
this year were worth SIS, 675,8 77 900 at
the farms. That compares with eight
billions last year. The loss is eight
billions compared with two years ago.
1t is not possible to minimize the
farmers losses. There are credits as
well as debts in the farmers ac-
counts, and there are others than the
farmers to be considered in compar-
ing their fortunes and misfortunes
with those of fellow-sufferers. For
the year 1914, and for the five-year
average 1904. the farmers prices
for principal crops totaled under five
billions. In addition to the increased
value of the crops the census says the
farms are worth thirty-three billions
more than in 1910. If the farmers
kept accounts, their balance sheets
would show either that they had fail
ed to ave their profits or that they
had a sufficient credit against which
to make their red ink entries. If the
farmers do not keep accounts, their
complaints hat they are greater suf-
ferers than others lack precision to
carry conviction.
The farmers have thought them
selves richer than they really were,
and now think themselves poorer
than they really are. Their losses of
part Of a years expected profits are
not sufficient to embarrss any trader
who has not been overtrading. That
the farmers overtraded is clear from
their inability to pay their loans and
interest. at the same time that they
complain of q deficiency of credit ac-
commodation. 1t is the fact that
their credit was actually larger han
they ever had at the time that their
market broke. and their losses would
be smaller by hundreds of millions II
they had needed the advice of those
whose policy they would alter.
The farmers think hat the rail
ways should reduce their rates on
farm products, and that rates should
be proportional to the necessity of
the farmers, regardless of the neces-
stiles OF the railways or. of fairness
toward other shippers. The price of
corn and wheat has fallen by dollars
and fractions, whereas railway rates
have risen by cents and fractions. 1t
would not be possible to make any
rates which would control crop prices.
The record shows prices rose and fell
regardless OF rate increases, and any
compensation of falling prices by re-
auctions OF rates would be lost In the
market fluctuations. Neither farmers

1--WE are planning to do away with
sacramental wine for all faiths" Mr..
Day is quoted as saying.
They are planning to get everybody
into a great deal of trouble and have
selected a fine place to begin. New
York is one-third Jewish, one-third
Roman Catholic, and the other third
mixed.
The prohibition commissioners say
in effect that they intend to interfere
with the sacraments Of the Roman
Catholic and the Jewish and what
are sacraments of some of the profess
tant churches, notably the Episcopal
ian.
They might as well interpose their
dictates in the matter of vestments
and rituals as to say what churchmen
shall offer in the sacrament of COM
munion and what shall be used in the
religious ~observances of the Jewish
faith.
There used to be in this country
some things bureaucracy and even
bigotry kept their hands off, and one
was the issue of religious faith and
observance. Evidently that day iof
eas has gone.
If Mr.. Haynes tentative approval
becomes fixed and an attempt is made
to carry it into effect, all the priests
and rabbis OF New York City will be
in jail, and the people of the churches
and synagogues will be storming the
walls.
1t is all a piece Of the same bolt OF
goods, and it is from this bolt OF
