BULLS HOLD GRIP
ON CURB EXCHANGE
MarConi of Canada in Big De-
mand-ReCent FavoriteS
Well Bought.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.
rial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 14.-Speculation
for the rise continued excited in num-
ber of individual issues on the Curb Ex-
change today but the main body OF
stocks was not influenced in the man
ner it had been on previous occasions
recently.
Under a heavy demand Marconi Co.
of Canada wentSinto new high ground
above S. The market for this issue was
receiving stimulus from the spectacular
Radio Corporations action on the Stock
Exchange. Recently it was reported
that both companies had entered an
agreement toward the Inauguration Of
commercial radio system between the
United States and Canada.
There was further buying at highest
prices in McKeesport Tin Plate, in
Marmon Motors at 40, in Bohn Alumi-
mum and Brass at so and in Checker
Cab Manufacturing above 27. None of
these prices represented sharp changes
from previous closing quotations, but
the demand was worthy of note.
Declaration of only the regular quar-
terly dividend on Bancitaly shares was
looked upon as a further attempt on
the part of officials of the company to
check unbridled speculation in the
stock. Repeated warnings in the past
having proved unavailing, this action
was thought necessary at this time
rather than declaring a substantial
extra, in view of the fact that much
of the recent buying had been predi-
Gated on this prospect.
Indiana Pipe Line featured the
Standard Oils. while both independents
and other Standards alike were little
changed. Mining stocks were active at
prices practically the same as yester-
day.

COTTON IN ADVANCE
ON CENSUS REPORT
Trading Tapers Off Later, but
Price Holds Within 2 or 8
Points of the Best.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 14-The cotton
market opened steady today at an adj
vance of 7 to ii points, active months
soon showing net gains of 12 to IS
points on trade and commission house
buying and covering inspired by bull
iSh view of the Census Bureau report
on supply and distribution for February.
This indicated consumption of 1880
bales for the month. compared with
582.417 during January, and 589,51
during February 1927. The figures
we're above expectations but were Offset
to some extent by prospects for rains
in the Southwest by the volume of
business taped off. although prices held
within or points of the best at the
end of the first hour
Private cables reported trade calling
and Manchester buying in the Liverpool
market, with increased inquiry for cot
ton cloth from India.
New buying, stimulated by the bullish
view of the domestic consumption fig
ures, tapered off on the advance to
1886 for May. and the market eased
under realizing or liquidation by early
buyers. probably influenced by west
Texas shower prospects and the failure
of bullish statistics to create a more
general demand. At midday May was
selling around 1871 and october 1926,
or at about yesterdays closing quota

&c. & O.-ER|E UNION
DECISION IS NEAR
|. C. C. Action Is Expected to
Expedite Other Eastern
Consultations.
BY J. C. ROYLE.
Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March lathe Inter
state Commerce Commission decision in
the Chesapeake 6z Ohio case, involving
the absorption by that road of the Erie
and effecting the linking of the Van
Sweringen interests into one system, is
expected within the next week or 10
days.
Whether the commission approves the
Erie merger or not, its report Is ex-
pected to expedite the negotiations now
in progress for elimination Of the pos
sible fifth trunk line as proposed by
Leonor F. Loree, and the reallocation
Of the various loose-end railroads in
Eastern trunk territory.
The Loree fifth system already has
been thrown into the discard to all in
tents and purposes, but many details
remain to be settled before the Pennsyl-
vania, the New York Central, the Balti-
more & Ohio and the Van Sweringen
interests agree on which shall control
lines like the Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburgh, the Western Maryland, the
Pittsburgh & Lake Erie and a dozen
other carriers.
Only Tentative Offer.
1t is known that the widely heralded
tender of the chairmanship of the
Nickel Plate board to Mr.. Loree was a
tentative offer. 1t is contingent on
satisfactory solution of some of the
problems outlined above. AS develop
ments took place which made the elm
ination Of the Loree fifth trunk line
system more likely. the feeling grew
among the interests most closely asso-
ciated with the president of the Della
ware & Hudson that he must be taken
care Of" The suggestion was made
that the Van SweringenS were in a po-
Sition most readily to accomplish this.
In other railroad circles, it is pointed
out that Mr.. Loree is over 20 years
old and in view of his interests in pos
Sible mergers among roads in which
he is a leading figure in the South
west, he Is unlikely to remain in active
harness for the Nickel Plate for any
extended period.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
decision Is being awaited by railroad
men, not because it is of such para
mount importance to the Chesapeake
& Ohio. Pere Marquette, Erie and
Nickel Plate. but because 1t is expected
to have a strong effect on plans for
other rail mergers. If the merger is not
approved or II 1t is approved with so
many strings attached as to make 1t
unwieldy, it probably will put a quietus
on many budding merger plans.
All Firmly Controlled.
Whether the merger Is allowed or
not. the fact remains that all the roads
involved are firmly controlled by the
Van Sweringen brothers. They can be
operated almost as efficiently under the
Van Sweringen direction as If they were
actually merged. The main benefit
which would be lost in case a merger
g denied would be the chance to simpli-

since the cost of financing has a direct
bearing on the cost of operation and
the quality of the service.
1t is known that the coming annual
report of the Erie will not present any
startling showing. but this is not in the
least disturbing to those closely inter-

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Era Of Bond Retirements Passing.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


A problem that proved most difficult
of solution to investors during the past
year or so has been the finding of salts
factory substitutes for bonds and pre-
ferred stocks called for redemption.
Retirements of this character have
been very heavy recently.
1t Is estimated that in 1927 over 25
per cent of new bond issues were for
refunding purposes, many OF them in
volving the calling Of outstanding obli-
cations and replacing them with bonds
carrying a lower coupon rate. Some
corporations have retired preferred
stock with the proceeds of debenture
bonds, saving a larger proportion of
earnings foE the common stock but
causing distress to investors.
During all this time security buyers
have given careful attention to call
prices before making commitments.
Non-callable stocks and bonds were
given the preference during this period.
The chances are, however, that the
era Of bond and preferred stock retire
ments is drawing to close. There will
Of course be scattered instances of re-
demption operations this year, as there
always have been, but it Is doubtful
whether they will be on any such large
scale. For one thing, interest rates are
not likely to go much lower. and there
is not the incentive on the part Of cor
porations to continue refunding as they
have been doing.
Bond prices. too, are apparently
stabilized tor the present. That being
the case, the investor need not concern
himself so much about call prices. He
is now taking a much smaller return
than at any time in postwar years
but that return ought not to go much
lower. This does not apply to common
stocks, but only to senior securities
Stocks which represent the equity in
the business are by their very nature
non -callable.

I'VE will continue to occupy part

ing on the north, and will continue
lin fact, enlarge upon our retail

ing all cars.
