BRITISH SUGAR TRADE
is CONSIDERING MERGER

By the Associated Press.
Trade advices to the Commerce De-
partment report plans are now under
way for the amalgamation of the sugar
beet and canning industries of the
United Kingdom so that fuller and more
efficient use may be made Of the power
units of the best factories.
For nine months of the year the
power units of the beet factories are
wasted when beets are not being treated.
the canning industry, whose busy sea-
son falls at a different time, now must
construct new sources of power at con-
siderable expense. Prolonged investiga-
tions have been made on the continent,
and it is contended that all will bene-
fit by building new canneries beside the
beet factories, both sharing common
power source. A further saving would
result from the fact that the sugar
Sirup used in fruit canning would be
manufactured beside the cannery.

of the most active short sessions in
months

block of 1900 shares at 443s, off Is,
but later crossed As. Cities Service

Vacuum Oil eased slightly, as result
of the revision of the merger terms
with Standard Oil of New York.
The tenth anniversary of the curb
exchanges removal indoors found
brokers Sweltering from the heat, but
without very much to do. Trading 10
years ago today totalled only 100000
shares-a mark reached several times
this month-and consisted largely of
penny shares, Of which only five re-
main today. Seats then sold for
$500 against S82.500 today.
BY the revision of the Standard Oil

Corporation.
Pending receipt Of the change in
name of the new company, trading in
General Petroleum Corporation when
issued stock on the Curb was unofncial-
ly suspended. Socony-Vacuum stock
will be admitted when formslities are
complied with. Where merely a change
