NEW YORK. Jan. 9.-General
Electric spurted to a new high price
today on reports that directions were
considering a split-up Of the stock on
a four-for-one basis and IS dividend
on the new.
Pan-American, on the other hand,
continued weak on reports that the
Mexican government planned new oil
laws unfavorable 10 foreign ownership.
The banks reported n deficit of ap-
proximately S26,0O0,000 in reserves
The 4 per cent money rate during the
week was n surprise. A number Of
large institutions. however, are loan
ing out money on call which probably
accounts for the 4 per cent rate. The
banks no doubt would like to see
sitter charge. Little change occurred
in commodities.
Steel common failed to respond 10
the big increase in December untitled
orders over November which amounted
to 451 ,5S4 tons. Untitled tonnage on
December 81 amounted to 5,033.364
tons as against d,5S1.7S0 tons on No
vember 80 and 4,Sl6,616 tons on De
cember 81. 1924.
A big market in the motors is looked
for next week. The auto show is I'M
der way and will run for week.
Pierce Arrow issues continued their
advance today ON buying said to be for
the account of a railway equipment
company.
Buying continued in the gas issue
and Consolidated and Columbia ad-
vanced two points each. Consolidated
is being picked up on prospects that
the court will decide in the company's
favor regarding the one dollar gas liti-
cation, and strength Of Columbia is
due 10 the belief that the dividend
will be increased this year.
Associated Oil crossed 30 and Pa
cific Oil went higher on continuance
of buying. Activity developed in Gen
eral Petroleum on the report that an
offer of 800 a share had been made by
another company for control. A big
market may be made in associated oil
in order that Standard Of California, a
large holder of Pacific Oil and thereby
entitled to the dividend in associated
stock, may dispose of the shares.
Kayser and Loew sold at new high
for the move. Chemical stocks were
firm on reports that negotiations werc
going on between two or three com
panies looking toward a combinatiun

PACIFIC COAST CITIES JOIN
HANDS In AID CAMPAIGNS
BY B. c. FORBES

Inc. and representatives of Portland
and Seattle chambers, all four organ
izations doing national advertising,
with presidents OF chambers of COM
merce of cities from San Diego 20
Seattle, agreed on plan Of co-ordi'
native, joint Pacific coast advertising,
''The theme of the 1926 drive of Pa
cific coast advertising groups will be
See all the Pacific coast
This move is significant. 1t shows
that the friendly competition, which
has been big factor in the remark
able growth of the Pacific coast. is
being turned into an asset by the
cities, which now propose to hold out
the lure of all the Pacific coast to
offset the attractions of Europe all |
other sections of the nation. 1t shows
that the cities Of this coast now rec
ognize that all Of this slope is a single
economic unit, and the policy of the
cities on this coast, as enunciated in
this new advertising plan, is:
eff this tourist or this industry
cannot be located in our city, get that
tourist or that industry somewhere on
the Pacific coast.
"There are 1900 miles of wonderful
country from San Diego to Seattle, q
region remarkably blessed with the re
sources of climate, timber, fisheries.
minerals. agriculture, horticulture,
harbors looking out across the Pacific
and other blessings
when this advertising gets under
way, Eastern people, who think these
coast cities are flying at each other
and jealous of each other, will be sur
prised to learn they are wrong when
they read this Sc All the Pacific
Coast advertising Of these various
communities"
You will find that 1926 will bring
a long forward step in the direction
Of cooperation in many directions:
Also consultations. The universal
trend is towards bigness. not little
ness, towards live-and-let-live, not to
wards coercion ana cutthroat competi-
ton.
After all, does not this whole funda.
mental movement make for more har.
mony and for getting more fun out OF
life?

him in France, but Dillon's health
wouldn't permit; SO Barney Baruch
drafted him into the war industries
board at Washington. In 1919 his
associates wanted to put his name in
the firm-he refused.
Nineteen-twenty came and passed,
and then in 1921-the elder Read hav-
ing passed. on-the firms name was
changed, against his protest to Dill
Ion. Read and Co.
. BY this time he was engineering

Goodyear Rubber company little

marketed a $50.000,000 loan foi
Brazil. In 1923 he sold S40,000000
worth of stock for the American and
Foreign Power company-and the rest
is recent history. One gigantic deal
after another, planned and consummat-
ed in a Wall street room which re-
sembles. n library, with a coal fire
blazing cheerily on the hearth.
His biggest deals are decided there
in the light of a Pickering blaze.
While he and his partners loll about,
putting at their pipes. Quite simple
it all sounds. For instance that SI46,-
100000 Dodge Motor deal.
The partners agreed they would bid
that sum. Dillon stepped to the tele-
phone and called the Detroit Motor
offices, saying a bid was on the way.
Then sitting at the library table which
serves him as a desk, he wrote out the
bid in half a dozen lines of long hand
on plain stationery, and mailed it.
Not so long after that Dillon went
out into the woods With an artists out
fit. He had found Il spot Of woodland
which he wanted TO record. He spent
days there until he made an etching
that satisfied him. All the while he
forgot business and had no communi-
cation with Wall street whatsoever.
His business creed? Simply this:
DO your job better than that job
has ever been done before"
Those who know him well say that
he has been able to do his job a bit
better than anyone in Wall street be-
cause Of this:
He has n genius for ascertaining all
the facts regarding a given project,
then making a lightning quick, daring
decision which is nearly always right.
