MERGERS RUMORED
IN COMMUNICATIONS
Reports of Further Combines in
Wire and Radio Industries
Are Heard.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 16-Rumors OF
mergers in the communication industry
have been particularly active in the
mergers have been accomplished and
several more are in the offing. In the
meantime there is an increasing amount
of interest in leading communication
company stock, which are generally
quite inactive.
At the time Of the panic Of 1873, when
active induStrials on the Stock Exchange
scarcely numbered 10, Western Union
was market leader. For years the
ton, rising in bull market and falling
in bear market. but making slow
progress; its business grew with the
country.
Gradually, as new stocks were listed
on the exchange, Western Union lost
some of its prominence, but it proceed
ed to establish most unusual record
as as investment stock. Today Western
Union still enjoys an enviable invest
ment rating.
In recent years few companies have so
persistently refused to declare stock or
extra dividends as Western UniorH It's
policy, as stated by President Newcomb
Carlton, favors stability of dividend and
Is definitely against extra dividends and
stock Split-upS. Uncertainty, which
would make the stock fluctuate over a
wider range is frowned upon by the
directors.
Although earnings have averaged $14
since 1921, the dividend Is only So. Last
year earnings were SSH, but all extra
profits were as usual plowed back into
the company. The stock has been rela-
lively more stable than mist other
standard industrials. Today it yields
about per cent and sells at only Is
times earnings This is a low selling
price for stock with Western Unions
earnings and tangible assets.
Part of Western Unions conservatism
is due to its determination to fortify it
sell against competition from radio
communication systems. Not long ago
a merger of the Radio Corporation
communications business with Western
Union was being discussed. It failed to
n1aterlal1ze. however when Radio an
nounced its intention to supply radio
communication to inland cities, and
thus compete directly with Western
Unions wires. Speaking of the possible
effects of such competition. Newcomb
Carlton said: An effort to displace land
lines by radio is interesting from a
scientific Standpoint. but the problems
are such that our faith reposes in
wires
In lieu of this development, Radio is
now planning a merger of its COM
munications system with International
Telephone and Telegraph. Such
merger would give Western Union effec-
tive competition, for 1t would mean the
combination of Postal Telegraph's wires
and cables with Radios air services.
Many feel, however, that under the
White act such a combination would
require the sanction Of Congress. There
are doubts as to whether the merger
will be permitted.

LARGE WHEAT CROP
WORRIES FARMERS
Grain Is PiIing Up, With
Texas Yield Ready to
Come on Market.

NEW YORK, May 16.-While the
Senate and the House are battling
over the export debenture plan in the
farm relief bill, the brow of the farm
err is almost as wrinkled with care to-
day as that of Mother Machree. Prices
for his products are not causing MIN
any enthusiasm whatever. His mar
gin of profit is narrowed materially
and while it is too early for the size
of new crops to be thoroughly estao-
lished or even accurately approximate
ed, the outlook is not bright enough
to cause the farmer the wear blue
glasses to protect his eyes.
The volume of cotton being con-
sumed has dropped sharply In March
a much larger quantity Of cotton goods
was used than was produced. In April
sales were nearly 80 per cent less than
production. Stocks increased 2 per
cent and untitled orders dropped l4.0
per cent. Production was 283,878 900
yards, sales 202 $4,000 yards, ship
ments 277,098,000 yards, stocks 3S2.-
These figures when compared with
March 1929 and April 1928 show that
the textile business has slumped. The
cotton market is feeling the effect
and so is the entire South and all those
who furnish the South with goods.
In the face of the situation out
lined above, the farmers seem deter
mined to increase their cotton acre
age from the 46,000,000 acres plant
ed in 1928 to between 100000 and
SO, 100000 acres The season, with
some few setbacks taken into account,
has been the earliest and one OF the
best in years. Temperatures have
averaged about degrees above nor
NAL in most of the cotton states. The
market for raw cotton is therefore dis
counting in its present price level, the
possibility of another huge crop.
The grain markets also are dis
counting like possibility in that COM
modify. It is a strange but true thing
that when everyone wants to sell ana
1t is the most opportune time to buy,
few persons are willing to buy. the
elevators are full and millions OF BUSH
els ought to be on their way to mar
ket. Much is being shipped but the
low prices have not stimulated either
domestic or foreign buying. Exports
through New Orleans and other CUR
ports are showing big gains. In April
these shipments totaled $50 1888 BUSH
els from New Orleans, which compar-
ed with 690,298 bushels for the cor
responding month last year. Since
the Federal barge line is now running
full blast, these totals are sure to
be increased.
The lowering of freight rates on
wheat and -four by the railroads is
helping shipments

WEAKNESS IN BOND
ISSUES CONTINUES
High-Grade Securities Are
Affected by Uncertainty
Over Credit.
BY CHARLES F. SPEAisls.

! Special Dispatch to The Star.
| NEW YORK, May 16.-Weakness de-
| veloped all along the line in today's
bond market. Nearly every group was
| affected by the high rates for money,
directly in the case OF mortgage issues
and indirectly in the convertibles.
There was some increase in trading
at the lower price level.
High-grade issues we're affected to the
extent Of one-quarter to one-half point
in corporation bonds, with United States
Government obligations showing further
declines, but the Treasury long-term is
sues holding up better than the Lib
critics.
There were also concessions in the
prices OF the new railroad legals and
in some of the recently popular nom
legal S per cent rails. Those in this
category that have had the sharpest
declines from the high quotations Of
April are st. Paul gold IS, Erie refund
ing IS. Frisco As and AIS, Rock Island
4l2s. Southern Pacific convertible AIS,
Texas Pacific IS and Baltimore &
Ohio IS.
Missouri Pacific convertibles reacted
about point as did Atchison con-
vertlble 4l2s. American Telephone &
Telegraph and International Telephone
convertible as were each off a point.
Inc two issues of Allegheny Corpora
ton IS lost all of their premiums.
American International 51as and Amer
heavy.
The Missouri Pacific and Telephone
convertables rallied in the afternoon.
Inc dispatches from Paris today in
dlcatlng that the reparations negotia-
tons are approaching a final settle
ment failed to affect European govern
ment or corporation issues. In fact
some OF them were lower than before
such as Electric Power of Germany 6s'
which touched 90 for the first time
since they were listed in the American
market around par. French, Belgian
IIalian and Japanese descriptions were
fractionally lower.

Italians Origin Sho.Un
by Method of Eating

The way of eating Parmesan cheese
tells the place of origin of an Italian,
according to a generally accepted the
DRY. Not only that, but 1t indicates
also his brOadmindedness or stinginess
in money matters, it is claimed.
If person pares the covering Of
his cheese without regard to losing q
little of the cheese itself, as waste
full cook might peel potatoes in New
England, that person comes from
Rome, one who cares little for money.
However, If the person scrapes the
cheese carefully, so as not to waste
any of the inside portion. he is Flor
entine, careful but not prodigal.
But if the person takes up his cheese
in his fingers and merely blows what
ever will blow from the outside of the
cheese, then he comes from Genoa,
,never wasting centisimi, according
ITO the proverb.
