NEW YORK, March 0.N.S).-
The Radio-Victor-W Western Union
combination, with a few of the well.
known industrial and speciality
stocks for the first hour today
monopolized the weekend market in
another powerful and sweeping ad.
vance to the highest prices on
record.
The first sale of the new Radio
shares appeared on the tape in the
form of a 25,000.share block at
91h, up 21a points from Fridays
final price, the old stock meanwhile
starting the day at 449 climbing to
465 in the first half-hour. This
was a gain of nearly 100 points III
a week of comparative inactivity
until its sky-rocketing move was
started at Thursday noon.
Gen. j. g. Harboard. president of
Radio Corporation, denied there
were negotiations between Radio
and Western Union looking to a
r4erger or consolidation OF any kind,
but this did not prevent enthusi-
astic buying of Western Union
around 220, up points for the
day and 20 points in the week.
Though consolidation of the two
concerns is blocked by Federal
statutes, Wall Street still believes
an alignment is to be made facil.
ltating their communication busi-
ness. Meanwhile, the London sub
salaries of Victor Company, which
has voted to merge with Radio, has
made important contact with the
Marconi Wireless Co.
After reaching higher price levels
in the first hour, the specialties
were beaten back by a heavy wave
of weekend profit taking. and lost
a good part Of their early gains.
National Cash Register jumped 6
points, to 1864, and new advances
of to 3 points were scored by
American Zinc, Johns Manville,
Dawson Chemical. Brooklyn Union
Gas jumped 10 POINTS, to 1SS.
