ST OCKS DROP
IN SHORT
SESSION
BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Feb. 16 Q.N.s).--
Another flood OF selling orders
poured In over the stock market in
the first period today and prices of
the industrial favroites went hurtl-
ing down the line, opening up new
gaps of to points in United
states, steel, General Electric, West
inghouse, New oYrk Central, Ameri-
can Can and other outstanding bull
leaders. Radio lost Is points.
Another blow was aimed at the
stock market, in the Wall Street
view, by the Federal Reserve
Boards advisory council which
called upon the individual banks to
scrutinize carefully their extension
Of loans based on securities, and
indirectly demanded a curtailment
Of speculative borrowing. In the
fear of another wide split in prices,
traders again threw their stocks
overheard, the bears helping along
the process by heavy short selling,
which swelled the volume of open
ing sales to a maximum of $4,000
shares.
The commission houses heported
a considerable strengthening of mar
gins after the close cf Fridays mar
ket. which dent support to the view
that there would be no wide open
break in the market today. At the
end of the first half hour American
Can showed a loss of about points
at 1854; General Electric was down
at 225; United States Steel down
IL at 10; Bethlehem Steel down
2; Anaconda Copper down 21a: Inter
national Nickel down 2: Chrysier
Motor down y; Consolidated Gas
down 2A: Packard Motor down 3.
Up to this time there was not the
slightest sign of a rally, and. meas
ured by the peaks of the January
move prices of the industrial IA
vorites were down from S to 20
points.

MERGER TREND
EXPLAINED by
RUKEYSER
By lEERRYIE 3. RUKEYSER
(CopyFight, 1873, ~ Umivsrs~l
Service, Ime.)

NEW YORK, Feb. 1s.-ReeOg-
mixing the economic trend toward
larger units in commerce and In.
dustry, the investing public has
shown a willingness to pay a
premium for = stake in big busi.
ness.
Accordingly, investment bankers
have found it profitable to buy
up groups Of little businesses,
merge them, and resell them 10
the public as q big business.
The arithmetic of the new era
in finance II simple. Components
for consultations may be pur-
chased at from to IL times their
recent earnings, whereas the ne
curities of the larger combine
may be marketed at IA to 16
times. The difference represents
the profits of promoting and ii.
nancing the regrouping.
Many Advantages
The process is not entirely illog-
icaI, provided the management
for the combination is progressive
and efficient. IL not, the adven.
ture consists of building a house
of cards.
There are strictly financial ad.
vantages, as well as potential
gains In being a part owner of a
big, dominant enterprise. The little
privately owned business ties up
capital in an illiquid form. which
cannot readily be converted into
cash. On the other hand. the
shares OF the big interests are
listed on an exchange, and are
readily marketable. Furthermore.
the bigger enterprise frequently
gives a better diversification Of
risk. scattering the enterprise
geographically, and frequently
enlarging the range of products.
Accordingly, big companies, such
as the Postum Company, have
been able to take over new units
on a more favorable price-earn.
ings ratio than the market has
established for their own stock.
AZ long as this trend continues.
each acquisition stimulates a new
bull movement in the stock Of the
holding company.
With stocks of some Of the ia
nous corporations selling at near.
ly thirty times earnings, the
premium on pre-eminence gets so
high as to ca use the cautious to
stop, look and listen.
Behind the epidemic Of mergers
and consultations has been the
economic demonstration that this
is the time for large, well-financed
companies in many fields. Dur.
ing this period of postwar pros
perity, the rate of mortality on
smaller concerns has increased.
The number of firms failing has
been increasing, whereas the aver.
age liability of the bankrupt con-
Germs has rapidly been declining.

CHICAGO, Sept. 81. - For

Hyde Park police station had
''kidded" John Heelan, so, about
his racing aspirations. Seven
times, Paul Revere, the horse
which Heelan' bought for a song"
came in out Of the money on local
tracks.
But John merely smiled 'Thie he
continued to mop and sweep and
carry coffee to the prisoners for
five and ten cent tips. With this
money and his $120 monthly
salary he just managed to meet
the entry fees and pay a jockey
and trainer.
Thursday Paul Revere raced at
Lincoln Fields as a 114-to-1 shot
Heelan bet a full weeks salary on
him-$10 across the board, which
means $40 to win, $40 to place and
$40 to show.
Today those who scoffed are

namesake, made good, winning
$1,74190 in bets and a 5000 purse

KILLING MOTIVE
BELIEVED GANG
REVENGE PLOT
Drug Store Executive, Who
Sent Three to Prison,
Slain in Street.

By Inifcd Prcss
HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Sept. 81
Three underworld characters impli-
Gated in the $4,000 holdup Of David
Antink. a Sun drug store executive,
SIX years ago, were hunted by police
today after the official had been
brutally beaten and shot to death
On Hollywood street.
Antink was shot down near his
home Thursday night. His wife,
hearing commotion, ran to the
window and saw three gunner fire
four shots into his body, she said.
The men sought for questioning
we're Granville Blair, Elmer Doudy
and MOrrie Mol, alias Morris Miller.
Police believed Antinks death was
underworld vengeance. On May 81,
1923, he emerged from a Sun drug
store carrying a satchel containing
$4,000 A car, in which were three
men, forced him to the curb. The
Bandits slugged him, seized the bag
and fed.
s7Lying on the sidewalk, Antink
started shooting and the bandits re-
turned his fire.
.Granville Blair was found
wounded in a car belonging to the
wife of Elmer Doudy, known as
THE Pajama Kid" The latter was
captured and both were sent to San
Quentin prison and subsequently
released on parole.
Last April, Antink went to ST.
Paul, MINI, where he identified
MOL as the third bandit. Mol was
released under $4,000 bond, but
was said to have jumped bail.
The shooting Thursday came with
ell the drama of the underworld
Antink was on his way home. A
sedan moved slowly out of an alley
and followed him. Two men leaped
from the car, the third remain
ing at the wheel. One man struck
Antink on the head with an iron
bar, wrapped in newspapers. He
fell to the pavement. The pair
fred four shots into his head and
one into his heart and sped away.

the condition OF James w. Good,

could be expected"
Army surgeons attending the war
secretary noted with some apprehen-

slightly this morning. This however,
was not considered particularly
alarming as 1t was said the patients
temperature might rise as natu-
raj defensive measure on the part
of the body as a reaction from the
operation.
The critical nature or the sec
retary's condition was not minimized
BY his surgeons and constant con-
tact was kept by the White House
with his bedroom SO President Hoo
yer could be kept informed.
No one was permitted in Mr..
Goods room. Mrs. Good spent the
night at the hospital in an adioin-
