Stock Market
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
New York. July 1S-Resumption
OF the upward movement in to-
days stock market was accompan-
led by 4 falling off in the volume
of trading. Profit-taking sales were
rather heavy. due to the cautionary
advices sent out by some of the
larger commission houses. but they
were generally well absorbed.
Operators for the advance were
impressed by the continuance Of
easy credit conditions. and the fact
that the recent decline In indus
trial activity has proved to be
largely seasonal, with the autumn
nal outlook promising in most
lines. Cabled reports that order had
been restored in Vienna also had 4
bullish effect on sentiment.
Pools were again active In a
number of specialties, current
earnings OF which appear to justify
special dividend distributions in the
near future. New peak prices were
registered by more than a score Is
sues including Bayuk Cigars. Coty,
Inc, Manhattan Electrical Supply,
General Electric and American
Bosch Magnetic.
Rails moved up with the indus
trials, although the gaines were not
as large. Erie common and North
ern Pacific quickly mounted to new
high ground and Atchison, Missouri
Pacific preferred, Atlantic Coast
Line and several others advanced a
point or more.
Buying OF railroads continued
briskly. with new high prices for
Northern Pacific. Great Northern
common and preferred, Southern
Pacific, and a few others. Several
high grade specialties and industrials
also moved forward to new TOPICS,
including r. H. Macy. General Elec-
trio, Baynk Cigars and Manhattan
Electrical Supply. American Radia-
tor gained 8 and American Wooden
preferred 21s while advances of
point or more were numerous.

GENERAL MOTOR
STOCKHOLDERS
DIGEST Melon
Record Breaking Stock Divi-
dend Followed by Talk
of Cash Bonus.
BY ELMER G. WALLER
limited Press stan CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK, Aug. l2.-The huge
melon for stockholders of General
Motors in the form of two for
one share split" of stock announced
yesterday was still in the process Of
digestion in Wall Street today.
Traders, however, already were
turning their attention to the pros
poets of an extra cash dividend Of
$3.50 share before the end of the
year
Discussion centered about the
cash disbursement and the probable
price at which the new SIS par value
stock to be created would sell in the
market. Theoretically it will start
around $50 share, but that cannot
be determined until the dividend is
known.
The stock changes voted after the
close yesterday was in line with ex-
pectations virtually 100 per cent
stock dividends-two shares for old
now held. or an increase of common
stock from 100000 shares of no
par value to 100000 shares of SIS
par value.
On the theoretical basis of 500 a
share value for the new stock the
distribution on the 100000 present
shares of common stock now out
standing would equal $783, 600 900.
the largest ever distributed in any
stock dividend
Wall Street firmly believes the
new. stock will be placed on a SIS
annual dividend basis. Since hold
erS of present stock would have two
shares of the new for cash one now
held. it would net them $40 an
nually in regular dividends, where
as the present stock pays SO.
Earnings of General Motors are
estimated to be at record levels.
Net for the third quarter is esti-
mated between S60,000000 and $685.
600 900. equal to around 81 a share
on common stock now outstanding.
Earnings for the year are placed
at SIS a share. If the company
follows its policy Of paying 60 per
cent of this figure in cash dividends
SIS will be the total distributed to
holders of present stock. This
would leave $3.50 as an extra divi-
dend this year.
In addition to the General Mo-
tors topic the financial community
is showing growing interest in the
new Ford car and is calculating
coldly the inroads this model will
make into General Motors profits.
Should the new Ford be placed on
the market at a real low price, the
car embodying all the features
which rumor says, sales of Chevro-
let's would be reduced unless prices
were cut proportionately. With this
menace overhanging their company
directors, confident of their strength,
declared the huge 100 per cent
stock distribution. They were
shrewd. however, in withholding
the dividend amount. holding that
in reserve for future inducement
should their stock need boosting.

ASK USERS OF
RADIO TO BACK
PLEA OF WFBM
U. S. Commission Requests
Evidence of Desire for
Increased Power.

Radio users all over Indiana are
expected to respond TO the an
nouncement that the Federal radio
commission wishes additional EVIL
dence of the desire of the people of
the State for a better and higher
powered radio broadcasting station.
The commissions request has been
made in connection with the appli-
cation of station WFBM, Indian
apolis Power and Light Company,
for a permit to increase its power
and to have a more favorable fire.
quency than was allotted to it by the
commission.
Interest in the case was height
ened by the announcement that it
is contemplated to increase the
stations power to 5000 watts. if the
commission wishes that done.
May Increase Power
The present plan is for an increase
from $50 to 1000 watts, but Norman
A. Perry, president of the company,
said the further increase will be
made if advisable. This would put
WFBM equal in sending power to all
except three of big stations in the
country. Those three are WIZ, New
York; WGY, Schenectady, and
KDKA, Pittsburgh.
Indiana is entitled to a proper
representation in the radio broad
casting field, which it does not now
have" said Perry.
Rightful Place in Afr
Here is an opportunity for the
State to obtain its rightful place in
the air. and in view OF the COM
paratively small number of favor
able frequencieS available under the
rules of the commission the OPP
portunity might not come again.
THE Indianapolis Power and
Light Company is planning to build
station which will be a real asset
to Indiana. in power. and in the
quality of the programs it will Of
fer. 1t will continue to be a good
will station, not operated for profit.
Ask Fans TO Write
In order to make it clear to the
commission that the people of In
diana are awake to the need for a
powerful broadcasting station, il
has been suggested that letters be
written by all radio users interested
setting out their opinions on the
situation and the value it would
be to the State. These letters
should be sent either to Station
WFBM. indianapolis Power and
Light Company, or direct to the
commission.
Letters to the station should be
received not later than next Mon
day. as time for submitting them
to the commission is short.

being mailed today to the members
of that body from the Office of State
Auditor L. S. Bowman.

fused to pay but Sc day, as pro-
vided under the law. The $40 day
law, passed in 1925, was not to be

Circuit Court held that the law
makers could not vote themselves
raise, but the Supreme Court
reversed this decision, refused re-
hearing and Bowman was ordered
to pay the 81 a day difference. The
high court held that the 1927 legis-
lative pay was not provided for by
any existing law.
Checks totaled $39,136, each SEN
ator and Representative receiving
$244 for the session.

Grain PRICES
DROP Low IN
CHICAGO PIT
Unsettled Conditions Prevail
in Market and All Com
moditieS Fall.

By UBited Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-An unsettled
condition was apparent early today
in grain futures on the Board of
Trade, with opening prices Il to Il
cent lower on wheat; corn, 4 to q
cent down; and oats, y cent lower.
The technical position of the
wheat pit was weaker today as a
result of the cratic session Thurs
day when prices moved to new
high and then tumbled as rapidly.
Liverpool opened lower and was an
influence here. Experts said wealth
er conditions we're conducive to rust
damage.
The corn belt was experiencing
unsettled weather today, and rains
were reported at several points. This,
with warmer temperatures, is great
ly needed by the backward crop.
The undertone of the oats pit was
strong. due to the bullish crop and
thrashing returns of recent days.
Provisions opened steady.
