DEPARTMENTAL
PLAN STUD|FO
BY COOLIDGE
Goes Over Plans With Brown
Preparing for Offer Of
Bill in Congress.

President Coolidge today went
over details Of the revised chart
for the reorganization Of the ad.
ministrative branch of the Govern
ment with Walker F. Brown, chair
man Of the joint committee on re-
organization.
Mr.. Brown said that the re.
organization bill will be based upon
this chart, which varies in some
respects from the original plan.
Chances for the bills passage
in the Senate according to Mr..
Brown, have been strengthened by
the agreement Of Senators Reed
Smoot, and Pat Harrison, ranking
members Of the two parties on the
Joint committee. These leaders are
confident that the bill will 20
through the Senate safely.
AS for the measures chances in
the House, it was said that, Con-
gressmen Carl E. Mapes and r.
Walton Moore, seemed to be in
accord. They are the principal
representatives Of the Republican
and Democratic parties respectively
on the joint committee.
Mr.. Brown would not tell to
what extent the original bill has
been changed, as the committee Is
now in executive session preparing
the bill for introduction in the
Senate and House.

NEW YORK, March 2O.-Impres-
siNe buying OF railroad shares and
simultaneous selling Of various in
dustrials featured the first two
hours trading ON the stock ex.
change today. The discriminative
character OF the market was more
pronounced than ever, numerous
new highs being recorded in the
carriers group. at the same time
that new low ground was reached
In other parts Of the list.
Reports that large corporations
were showing apprehension over
the absence Of constructive legisla-
ton at Washington and were max.
ing plans for curtailing operations
were largely responsible for the
continued bearishneSs in the in
dustrial group.
Railroads, on the, other hand, al.
though bound to, feel an eventual
business contraction in a falling off
or freight movements, would stand
TO lose little in the way Of net in
comes. as any decline in gross earn
1ngS would be offset to great ex-
tent by the big savings in operating
costs. In addition, bullish senti-
meht" regarding railway shares Is
being sustained by reports Of pend
ing deals and dividend prospects.
The bulk Of speculative activity
was converged on the high-priced
shares, like Norfolk and Western,
Atlantic Coast Line, New Orleans,
Texas and Mexico, New York
Central and Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western. Among the lower
grade issues, Pittsburgh and West
Virginia was bid up sharply on
dividend possibilities.
Irregularity in the Industrial di-
vision was. apparent from the start.
Pressure was steadily applied against
rubberS and tires, motors, aces
series and the steels, the latter IN
connection with reported weakening
in pig iron prices and increasing
competition. Studebaker, although
hitting new, low for the early deal
tngs, found better support, probably
due to advices from South Bend that
the corporation was operating at ca
pacity and that sales exceeded those
of last year.
There was a fresh break in
chemical stocks, the seriously de-
preciated selling price of Virginia
Carolina Chemical preferred being
further reduced by 2 points. Oils,
however, showed steadiness, reflect
ing q. decrease in the weekly crude
oil production. American Can
started off strong in anticipation
of another extra dividend at next
weeks meeting, but reacted on
profit taking. American Radiator
was strong.
Call money was renewed at 8 per
cent.
Fresh buying of French francs
carried this currency to 512h cents.

beginning of the year.

Flour Mill Activity.
MINNEAPOLIS MINI.

MINNEAPOLIS Mimi, March 20.
The Northwestern Miller, In it's
weekly review Of the flour trade.
says:
'The week of March els saw a
general slowing down Of flour mill
activity, although the soft winter
wheat mills Of the Ohio-Indiana-
Michigan district reported slight
gain. their output representing IS
per- cent Of capacity last week, as
against 81 per cent the week before.
"The sharp decline in mill feed
prices during the week amounted 20
about $3.50 per ton for bran, with
other wheat feeds down proportion
ately. This prevented the s to 6
cent drop in wheat prices from be-
ing fully reflected in flour quota
tions, which nominally ranged only
about 10 to Is cents per barrel
lower than week ago."

MARKET
i READY FOR

Investment Bankers Say Large
Stock Of Bonds All Sold
Since January.
BY MUNROE ROBERTS.

NeWA E5eTFlce.J
NEW YORK, Mar. 2O.-Corporate
maturities of bonds and notes in
April will require little attention
from the investment market. Most
maturities are for small amounts,
which can be cared for from cur
rent receipts, or have already been
funded from proceeds of other Sc
curity sales.
The total of railroad, public
utility and industrial bonds and
notes maturing next month, accord
ing to a Dow Jones compilation, is
Sal, 683,500, against $36,874,6 500 in
March, and $64,809,970 in April,
1928. OF this amount, railroad MAJ
turtles aggregate 15,793,850, public
utilities $11, 485,500 and industrial
issues $14,702,150. The most i'm
portant~ issue falling due in April
Is the Market Street Railway Com
pany per cent note maturity Of
$4,2O8 900. The company has already
provided funds from the sale Of a
new Z per cent bond issue. The
Baltimore and Ohio railroad will
pay off $4,000, 900 collateral trust 6
per cent bonds, and the Pierce Ar
row Motor 'ompany, $3,600,000 one
year 6 per cent notes.
Investment bankers declare that
the large stock of bonds on hand
early in the year, has been absorbed
by investors, and the market is
therefore in good condition for the
sale OF new issues. Whether or not
they are "pegged" by the banker
underwriters, the new Japanese 6
per cents are steady in the market
around 92A and show no tendency
to deviate from the issue price.
New public utility issues have
received a warm welcome from in
vestors, for the double reason that
their income yields are attractive,
and earnings records of major COM
panies are more favorable than at
any time since the wars close. They
combine conservative management
with close Governmental supervision
and supply a necessary product ON
a strictly cash basis.
Public offering was made today of
an issue of $3.50, 900 Florida Public
Service Company. first mortgage 6k
per cent gold bonds, series "a" due
l949, at 97h, to yield approximately
go per cent; also of an issue Of

site and the erection OF separate

believe would be a mistake and they
are asking that the legislature amend
the law.
In their report to the building COM
mission te Messrs. Mclaughlin and
associates say: 1T looks as If the
commission is on the right track, be-
cause if it goes ahead and carries out
the law, we would not be much better
off than we are now. We would have
three buildings, namely the old state
house, the annex and the new office
building ON a separate lot. None OF
these would be of character to rep
resent our state today as its capitol.
Besides the new Office building, erect
ed on any OF the proposed inlots,
could not be made fire proof from
without and the state house and an
mex will not be fire proof either from
within or without" They further con-
tend that we would still have an In

operate on account of occupying sep
arate buildings.
