REPORT ALT ON
RY. BOUGHT

CHICAGO, Aug. l uNS).-Re-
ports were current in business cir
cleS here today that the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad had concluded
arrangements for acquisition Of
the Chicago and Alton road, in
receivership for the past eight
years.
Information that the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad had offered to
purchase q majority of the out
standing 312 per cent and 6 per
cent bonds Of the Alton road gave
rise to the belief that the deal for
transfer of control was about to
be consummated. This would lift
the receivership under which the
Alton has been operating.
Alton road officials declined to
comment on the reported arrange
mentS. William G. Bierd, presi-
cent of the road, said that q sur
vey of the possible benefits to
both had been completed. but that
a statement on the situation must
come from the larger carrier.

Here and There

Insiders are said to be replacing
big lines of Anaconda they sold
way, way up. The Fox pool is still
talking much higher prices when
when the market gets right. They
won't be able to do much unless
Warner hangs on better than it
has.
The Vanadium strong arm"
squad, I hear, is saying that it has
a big short interest just where it
wants it. This is not impossible
with Varadium's small capitaliza-
tion. but I believe the story should
be taken with a grain of dnter-
nationaD salt. Baldwin's story
squirt has everyone guessing. It
is suspected Of being sheer ma
nipulation despite the $1.31 a
share earned in the first SIX
months. There are rumors Of the
Fishers, who run the company,
buying more stock for control.
I hear there will be good buy
ing in United Corporation soon,
but probably at lower levels. Can
and General Motors have been
two Of the best acting stocks on
the big board. Collins and AK.
man has been doing better.
Chart students don't like the
market action Of Baltimore and
Ohio and Standard Oil Of New
Jersey among others. I hear Of
pool action pending in Woolworth
and Foreign Power. I wouldn't
follow either for the time being,
especially the latter.

Lorillard~ has been acting inn
pressively the past few days. It
was recommended as q good
speculation in this column when
it was selling at 20. I hear there
is something doing lin the stock,
but I wouldn't follow the move
too far. Earnings for the year
are estimated at 81 a share or
better, a gain of about 400 per
cent from last year. The only
cigarette company really to forge
ahead this year, however, is
American Tobacco, and it is very
likely doing 1t at the expense Of

money this year than last.

obscures the market outlook for

baker only earned $1.03 a share

means it will have to go some to
cover even the lower dividend
the rest of this year. Its new
line OF cars is said to be selling
fairly well.

Against the Grain"

Wall Street hears that the Gov.
ernment may step in again soon
and support wheat, contrary to
the hands-off attitude it expressed
recently. The report brought a
good many long faces. for the
farm boards last futile attempt
is still fresh. Few see how any
action Of this sort can do any
good, for the whole world is
glutted with wheat.
A bad harvest would help the
price situation this year, but the
only long-term salvation is for
farmers to grow less wheat and
try something else. The Govern
ment's newest move, IL it ma
terializeS, will be watched with
interest. for as wheat goes, so
does the market. .,
I hear there was some inside
buying of Warner Brothers on
the scale yesterday. The rumor
was linked with selling by in
siders at higher figures. Reports
from the floor told Of 2,000 and
5000 share buying orders from
scattered houses. The story gains
color from the report that the
Warmers were bulliSh on the stock
at II, indicating that the divi.
dend may be paid for the next
quarter any way at the August

is so complicated, however what
with lower earnings and new
talk, that I again say
it is safest to let the stock alone.

MADE MILLIONS OF
FRIENDS

Fifteen years after his gradua-

for a single prescription, which
now, after forty years, is still
making friends.
Today DR.. Caldwelps Syrup
Pepsin is the worlds most popular
laxative. Millions of people never
think of using anything else when
they're constipated, hea d a chy,
bilious, feverish or weak; when
breath is bad, tongue coated, or
they're suffering from nausea, gas,
or lack of appetite or energy.
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is
made today according to the original
formula, from herbs and other
pure ingredients. 1t is pleasant
tasting; thorough. in the most
obstinate cases; gently effective for
women and children. Above all, it
represents a doctors choice of
what is safe for the bowels.
