mestic or household purposes. The
use Of electricity In American
homes was 1877 per cent greater
this year than last and nearly 80
per cent higher than in the first
half Of 1928" 4
Consumption Of electricity per
household rose from rate OF 500
kilowatt hours annually at the be-
ginning Of the year to rate Of
528 kilowatt hours at the end OF
June.
"While sales of manufactured
gas during the first half Of 1880
increased 2 per cent over the
corresponding period Of 1929, nat
ural gas sales showed q decline
Of 4.8 per cent. Rejecting these
conditions, the revenues Of lead
ing manufactured gas companies
gained IL per cent, while the nat
ural gas utility companies re-
ported a decline Of 80 per cent
in their revenues.
Consumption Of both manufac-
tured gas and natural gas has
been increasing very rapidly, how
ever, during the last decade, and
a stable future for both industries
seems assured. Natural gas con.
sumption increased from 1885, 200
million cubic feet in 1920 to 1900
600 million cubic feet in 1929,

7 TRANSAMER|CA
WANTSF|RN

Officials of Transamerica Cor
poration, rated as the worlds
largest bank and investment hold
ing company, are conducting ne
gotiations for a substantial inter
est in an important European tel
ephone property, it was definitely
learned yesterday.
While reports that either the
Ericsson Telephone Company, of
Sweden, or the Siemens and
Halske Telephone Company of
Germany, was involved, were au-
thoritatively refuted here yeSter-
day, it was pointed out that Ban
america-Blair Corporation has
handled financing for both con-
Germs. It was understood an an
nouncement may be forthcoming
shortly on the completion of nego-
tiationS. Neither the size Of the
company nor the country in which
it operates could be learned from
officials here last night.
It is felt that the expansion Of
the TranSamerica interests is i'm
portant chiefly because 1t marks
their entry into an entirely new
field. The company is already in
tereSted in certain foreign banks
and industrial enterprises, chiefly
Of Italian origin.
Because of the strong financial
connection Of Transamerica with
Italian interests, the surmise was
at first made in Wall Street yes
terday that the properties in
volved In the deal are in italy.
However, this field is already
dominated by International Tele-
phone and Telegraph Corporation,
which is constructing long-dis-
tance lines there for the govern.
ment.
Outside Of Siemens and Halske
and Ericsson, the European tele-
phone field is practically domi-
mated by International Telephone
through the direct ownership Of
companies and concessions.
The telephone property being
acquired by TranSamerica, it is
understood, will come under the
supervision Of the newly formed
TranSamerica International Cor
poration, which was organized
this week in Delaware. together
with four other Transamerica
subsidiaries.

The committees working on the
reorganization of the Interna-
tional Combustion Engineering
Corporation, have tentatively
agreed on a plan for the sale of
the corporations assets to Foster
Wheeler Corporation, it was re-
ported yesterday.
The proposal, which was said
to involve the payment of 144,711
shares Of Foster Wheeler stock,
is to be submitted to officials of
that company for their consider
alton.
According to their reports Fos-
ter Wheeler executives will be
offered a deal whereby seven
eighths of a share of Foster
Wheeler common would be ex-
changed for each share of OUT
standing $4,000 shares of Inter
national Combustion preferred,
or a total of 86,625 shares of
Foster Wheeler for complete ex-
change. In addition, 58,O86 COM
mon shares Of Foster Wheeler
would be asked for the 1,O49, ,5l3
common shares of International
Combustion, a ratio Of one for
eighteen.
Owing to unsettled conditions
in the securities markets and of
finance generally, it was said that
the committee had abandoned,
for the present, at least, the
alternative proposal Of raising
additional funds to take the COM
pany out of receiverShip.
