BALTIMORE. August 15.--The Roths-
child interests of London were the buy
el of the block OF 10000 shares of
Silica Gel Corporation stock recently
sold by the Dawson Chemical Co, it is
understood. The price was $24 share
net. or total of 1920 600 The pro-
ceeds will be used by the Dawson Chem
ical Co. for development purposes.
II is said that the deal will prove Of
mutual interest. since it is probable
that che parent company will supply all
the silica gel used abroad. The Davi-
son Co. owns more than $4,000 shares
of Silica Gel stock and, after the sale
of the $4,000 shares to the Rothschilds
the Dawson Co. will still hold IN its
treasury over 100000 shares of Silica
Gel Corporation stock.
When the 10000 shares of stock
bought by the Rothschild interests are
paid for and delivered the total invest
ment of that group in the Silica Tel
Corporation in this country and abroad
will aggregate S4500,000.
