Merger Rumors Arouse Spec

BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 2s.-Public utili-
ties were star performers in today's ac-
tive but irregular curb market, as
r5lmors of mergers and rights, COM
bined with favorable earnings, stimu-
lated interest in that group.
Merger run1ors linking American Pow
er IL Light, American Gas & Electric
and Electric Power & Light closer to
Electric Bond & Share brought buying
that in connection with the consolida-
ton plan Electric Power e. Light might
offer rights and Electric Bond e. Share
might apply for listing on the Stock
Exchange.
Election of Floyd L. Carlisle to sue
coed the late Nicholas F. Brady made
traders believe that the consolidation of
New York State utilities. such as Nj
agara Hudson Power, which would IN
clude Eastern States Power and st.
Regis Paper Power properties, with
Consolidated Gas, is rapidly approach
ing These shares were bid up early
in the day.
Decrease in crude oil output and
declaration of several extra dividends
bettered the petroleum list. Root Re-
fining common and convertible pre-
ferred. which were up and 8 Ia points,
respectively, Tuesday, quickly added
gains of Asa and points today
Creole Petroleum. which earned 20
cents share in 1929, against 10 cents
in 1928. likewise f1rmed. Standard Oil
of Kentucky had previously discounted
its 20-cent extra. but South Penn OIL
continued its advance
Proximity of the deposit date for the
United Gas merger, coupled with the
gain in April sales reported by that
company, attracted attention to the
stock. The gain in United Gas bet
tered other natural gas shares, which
have moved rather slowly pending the
completion of this merger, bringing
about the biggest company In the in
dIstry.
Food shares moved irregularly. Lib
erty Dairy Products fell points on a
100-share transaction. Great Atlantic
g Pacific Tea was down points at
the opening. International Salt new
was. fracticnally lower.
