Elaborating the Fund Quiz.

II is evident that the Senate commit
tees inquiry into the matter of cam
paign expenses Is taking q turn that IL
not checked will lead it into the field of
politics with only incidental reference
to the question OF the funds that have
been and are being and are to be raised
for the advancement of candidates.. In
several instances questions have been
asked which have no relation what
ever to the subject with which the COM
mittee Is charged, which is simply how
much money is being spent and for
what purposes. and whether candidates
for the nominations are being pledged
or are pledging themselves in exchange
for support
Perhaps this is inescapahle. 1t may
be that no matter with what curbs the
quiz IL confined the discussion between
committee members and candidates or
their representatives and agents will
range far afieid into the realm of pure
politics-if the adjective may be toll.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson g. McKinnon)

NEW YORK, March 16.-We are
surprised and rather disappointed
at the moderate increase in brokers
loans. We had expected new top,
and the only apology we have to
offer for the error of my calcula-
ton is that there was a great deal
more stock bought for all cash or
nearly all cash than we figured on.
More important, though than this is
the picture of prosperity presented
by the report of the Allied Chemical
Corporation for 1927, the year that
we talk about as a poor one, Show
ing increased earnings and invest
ments of $86,000,000 and only little
circle within the circle that knows
how much the book profit must be
on these stocks that the company
owns. Of greatest significance,
however, is the increase of earnings
Of the year over previous years. Of
course we don t know what the stock
is going to be worth in two or three
years from now, but it was selling
at a good deal less than $500 a share
Thursday. And now just a word to
the propaganda of hard times.
During the so-called poor years of
1927 the New York savings banks
show an increase of over $300.0 100000,
bringing the total up to we'll above
$4,000,000,000.

RAIL MAGNATES
CONFERRINC ON
MERGER PLANS
Discuss Proposal to Form
Four-Line System of
Eastern Roads.
BIZ United Press

~ CNtttu NtoH
NEW YORK, March 16.-Eleyen
executives of eastern railroads went
into session today at the Office Of
w. w. Atterbury, president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, to discuss
whether eastern lines should be
consolidated into four or five sys-
TENS.
L. F.. Loree, president of the Della
ware g. Hudson, who is the leading
proponent Of the fve-system plan,
was present, despite a recent illness.
Road President Attended
The session was private. In addi-
ton to Atterbury and LOree, those
present were Daniel Willard, presi-
dent of the Baltimore & Ohio;
James Schneider, vice president of
the B. & o.; A. j. County, vice pres
ident OF the Pennsylvania; O. P. and
M. j. Vansweringen, Nickel Plate;
j. j. Bernet, president of the Erie:
Elisha Lee, vice president of the
Erie; Patrick Crowley. president of
the New York Central, and George
ingalls,, vice president of the New
York Central.
AS the session began it was strong
ly reported that a compromise had
been reached with Loree regarding
abandonment of his proposed fifth
eastern trunk line, and that the
executives might agree finally to-
day on the fOur-line system.
Would Remove Barrier
The greatest stumbling block IN
the three years of negotiations thus
would be removed and the executives
could prepare to submit a compre-
hensive plan to the Interstate Com
merce Commission for the mergers.
The four-line system would be
built around the Pennsylvania.
B. & o., New York Central and
Nickel Plate as a nucleus, with East
ern short lines divided among them
to facilitate the coordination of the
big systems.
Disposition would have to be made
of Loree's combination through con-
troll Of the Lehigh Valley and Wa
bash with the Delaware & Hudson.
Divide Smaller Lines
The Loree lines may be divided
equitably among the Big Four,
Loree himself joining with the Van
Sweringens in operation of their
lines. The Delaware & Hudson
would remain as an independent
system, which would be used by the
four trunks equally to reach the
northeastern territory it serves.
Some of the larger short roads in
volved in the consolidation would be
the Reading and the New Jersey
Central, most of whose trackage
probably would go to the B. & O.;
the Lehigh Valley. jointly to the
Pennsylvania and Nickle Plate; the
Western Maryland, to the B. 81 o.;
the Norfolk & Western and the Vir-
gilman. to the Pennsylvania, and the
Wabash, probably mostly to the B.
& o.

STRONG FOREIGN
MARKETS BOOST
CORN PIT PRICE
Export Demand Good; LiV-
erpooI and Argentine
Prices Up.
RM Unfted PreSa

CHICAGO, March 16.-A higher
close on Argentine markets Thurs
day and stronger tendencies at
Liverpool today, combined with
good export demand to send corn
prices into another fractional adj
vance on the Board of Trade today.
Oats followed corn, but wheat was
pulled both ways and averaged
around steady.
Opening figures we're: Wheat, &c
lower to sc higher; cgorn, i to &c
higher, and oats, 4 to CSC up. Pro-
visions opened unchanged.
The situation in corn is con-
coded to be strongly bullish. With
the country movement from South
west and western points practically
over, receipts here are small. Ex-
port business is picking up and
Europe will have to buy heavily of
American corn before June.
Sentiment in wheat is mixed. The
American winter wheat situation
still dominates the market, but
while Southwest points report ex-
cellent conditions, the central Sec
ton of the belt complains of heavy
winter killing Good rains and snow
continued over the Southwest last
night
Talk Of export business and a
good cash demand are giving the
oats market some strength. The
market is still inclined, however, to
follow other grains.

NEW YORK, March 16.-The rise
announced after the close Thursday
of $50,000.o00 in brokerage loans
proved no deterrent to tumultuouS
activity on the side of the advance
in the stock market in the early
dealings today.
General Motors rose to new rec
ord levels. The first sale Of the is
sue was at 164%, up IL from the
previous close. 1t reached 1874 in
the first fifteen minutes on heavy
turnover.
Hudson also was very active, SELL
ing at a new high for the year at
983s, up 23s. Loews reached a new
record for all time.
New Highs
New highs were made by New
York Central at 1877, up IL; Dupont
at 1851, up 25s; WHY'S Overland
at 2315, up Il; st. Louis Southwest
ern, 8194, up IN: National Cash
Register "a" at 641z, up 4; Interna-
tionaI Match preferred at 11734, and
American Can at 8514. Radio opened
at 143, unchanged, and held around
that level. American Linseed squirt
ed 6 points to 105.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journal financial review to-
day said:
"Less attention was devoted by
the speculative community to the
S50,o00,000 increase in brokerage
loans last week than to the weekly
Federal Reserve statement. The lat
ter showed a small increase in the
holdings of government securities
at New York and decline of ap-
proximately $1,800,000 for the system
as whole.
"These figures were regarded as
significant in demonstrating that
the Federal Reserve Board had not
seen fit to take action against the
current activities in stocks by re-
Stunning sales of government Securi-
ties in the open market. This factor
left the way free for further bullish
operatings in the early dealings"
G. M. C. Up 8 Points
Advancing tendencies went ahead
through the morning under the
leadership of General Motors, which
touched, 1859, new high, and net
gain Of six points. Du Pont spurted
41s to 358.
Allied Chemical was actively
bought, the price advancing to a
new record high at 1894, up Az.
Buying was based upon the excel
last year when earnings were equiv
alent to $1O.O3, compared with 1918

year.

US entirely too small and We suggest the
purchase of these two options on any

BUS MERGER ORDER is
ATTACKED IN PETITION
Ask ReOpening Of Line to Shadeland
Ave. on Twenty-First st.

Unification services offered by the
Indianapolis Street Railway Com
pany and the Peoples Motor Coach
Company, at the order of the public
service commission, have been at
tackled in a petition for resembling,
filed with the commission by Mrs.
Orie V. Burch and Mrs. George E.
Crouch.
The changes, which went into eff
feet Thursday, included abandon
ment of the bus line on Twenty
First st. between Emerson and
Shadeland AYES. The petitioners,
who are patrons of this route, ask
that this order be reScinded so per-
sons living east of Ritter and En-
erson AYES may have transportation.
Patronage in that section has in
creased, the petition cites, as a re-
suit of the change in schedule of the
Newcastle Union Traction interur-
bans, making it necessary that the
buses be used.
