Consolidated Gas.

The Consolidated Gas Company seri-
ously is considering a plan whereby
large block of it's common stock will be
offered direct to the public without the
aid OF the usual underwriting syndi-
cate. It was learned yesterday on reli-
able authority. This policy Of GUS
toner ownership" which has been
found successful In the West, has been
gaining adherents in the East in recent
months. particularly among public util-
ity corporations. One OF the large cor
porations to test the scheme in the East
last summer was the New York Tele-
phone Company. That corporation sold
to Its subscribers 81. 900 of 6Ia per
cent. cumulative preferred stock. which
was many times oversubscribed. Of
ficials OF the gas company have been
discussing such stock plan for some
time. II was said. and at first there was
some talk of splitting UP the present
stock. 1t Is now believed. however. that
It has been almost definitely decided
to offer stock direct to the public at
price somewhere around current quota
tions for II in the stock market II tho
stock offering Is made II is thought that
the amount will not be less than

Close to Record Trame.

A review Of traffic conditions by the
American Railway Association shows
that loadings of all commodities are
close to the high record of all time re-
corded In the fall OF 1920. With regard
to the movement OF all commodities the
review predicts that the current heavy
movement will continue longer than
usual at this season. Less than carload
freight shows TO a less degree the situa-
ton since the heavier loading campaign
was started. Improvement In the car
supply is expected to guarantee suffi-
c!ent rolling stock for a continued heavy
movement OF forest products while grain
loadings already are close to the record
figures of last Year. Live stock loadiugs
are running about equal with the pre-
vious high records. 1t Is expected that
coal loadings will show a steady in
crease. Ore loadings already are show
ing their seasonal decline.
