NEW YORK, January 27.-William
C. Durant founder Of the General
Motors Corporation, whose control he
later lost to the Morgan-du Pont in
terests in the panic of 1920, has served
notice that he and MS new Durant
Motors, Inc. are still in the ring
Durant, whose 10 years have repeat
edly found him as a storm center in
battles with Wall Streets financial
giants, has begun working on the re-
Ceiyership tangle that involves one of
his companies. The reCeiverShip action,
he said, had been mistakenly inter-
preted as directed against the parent
company. Instead, he said, it was
brought against one Of several subSidi-
aries
He issued the following statement:
"A Detroit Federal Court appointed
the Central Trust Co. of Lansing, Mich
receiver Of Durant Motor oC. of Mich
igan, one of the subsidiaries Of Durant
Motors, Inc, of DeleWare. Press dis
patches enormously stated that the re-
CeIverShip affected Durant Motors, Inc.
The action was taken with the con-
sent of Durant Motors Co. of Michigan

that corporation in the interest Of
stockholders and creditors alike
DWant formed Durant Motors. Inc,
on January y. 1921, Just one month
after he had been forced out Of Cen
eral Motors in the contest for control
with the Morgan interests. On April
7. 1927, he announced that he was re-
signing as director of several corpora
tions in order to devote his entire time
to the motor venture. On January 10,
1929 he retired from the active man
agement of Durant Motors, Inc, to
concentrate on other ventures SO that
he could reimburse with interest every
one who had invested in Durant
Motors, as well as in every other organ
ization connected with my name"
During the early part of 1929, in
market operations. he rolled up profits
by the millions. But in the Spring of
that year he publicly stated that the
Federal Reserve Board, through its pol
icy of restricting security loans was
precipitating a national calamity. He
later abandoned his leadership in the
bull forces and reduced his stock mar
ket commitments to as low a point as
he could.

NEW YORK, January 27-Securities
of the ST. Louis Southwestern Railroad
leaped forward in the New York Stock
Exchange yesterday on the news that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
had granted Southern Pacific permis-
sion to acquire the road.
The common stock advanced to above
$11 a share, having closed previously
at 1925. The preferred stock appeared
for the first time since December 18,
moving up about $40, from a price Of
$3.50, or nearly tripling its market
value The bonds rose sharply, some
making advances of about 500 to $140
per bond of $1,000 par value.
At the Offices of the Southern Pacific
it was said that officials are studying
the I. C. c. approval, which imposes
several conditions, and that an an
nouncement might be forthcoming
within few days as to whether the
I. G. c. ruling was acceptable
The securities markets reaction in
dicated little doubt but that the acqui-
sition would be accomplished, which
would permit the Southern Pacific to
aid the st. Louis Southwestern in max
ing provision for its large floating debt
and in refunding about $21 100000 In

NEW YORK, January 27.-BOnd
prices were steady today in moderately
active trading.
The market was irregularly lower at
the opening, rejecting depressed stock
prices as a result of the cut in United
States Steels dividend. Later, how
ever, a firmer tone developed and Of
feringS were absorbed without undue
recessionS anywhere in the list.
The continued uncertainty over the
Chicago Rail Wage Conference served
to keep rail bonds from continuing
their recovery. Some of the specula-
tive descriptions, such as Nickel Plate
Is and st. Louis Southwestern Termi-
nal SIS, were actively higher at one time
but later sold off. Rock Island re-
funding Is yielded a point but the 4 rs
of the same road were fractionally
higher. Illinois Central 424S dropped
a point. There were small advances IN
Allegheny Corporation S. Erie Consoli-
dated As, Pere Marquette 4l2s and 5s
and MiSsouri-Pacific 5l2S.
Money rates we're firmer, with 90
day time loans quoted around pa to
4 per cent This was mirrored in frac-
tional declines in high-grade corpora
ton descriptions such as American
Telephone IS, Consolidated Gas 5i2s,
Atchison General As ana General
Motors Acceptance 6S. United States
Government long-term bonds were
slightly higher at the start but later
lost most OF the gains. InduStrlalS
we're little changed.
Considering that railroad earnings
reports for December, which were com
ing out today in numbers, indicated
some unexpectedly large decreases in
earnings, the bond market gave a very
good account of itself. The recent
activity in the new capital market
was a sure indication of returning con-
fidence in senior securities, and even
those who bought Junior rail and in
dustrial bonds at the December lows
now show much reluctance to take
profits, with prospects Of broad ad-
vance in the near future.
The foreign list was unsettled Ger
man government issues were still under
pressure. an echo here Of liquidation
on continental markets. Young plan
51as and Dawes reparations Is which
mad substantial advances Tuesday,
dropped fractiOnally. German Central
Bank issues were narrowly lower
British SIS were slightly higher.
French issues were firm. South Amer
leans were generally lower, though not
Importantly so. Australians continued
to gain. The japanese group advanced
slightly.
Bonds were slightly lower at the
opening. Trading was not in heavy
volume and offerings were fairly well
absorbed at concessions Of i to p
point under Tuesdays closing levels.
The selling a reflection of a lower
opening of stocks, came in the specu-
Iative rails and industrials, affecting
such issues as Allegheny Corporation
SIS. st. Paul SIS, Goodrich 6s and Postal
Telegraph 5s. United States Govern
ment bonds also were narrowly lower
and prime corporation issues were
barely steady
In the foreign department German
government issues and French and
Belgian issues were unchanged, South
Americans were inclined to sag. jap
anese obligations were firm.

u. S. STEEL DIVIDEND
is NOW ON 81 BASIS
Declaration of 50-Cent Quarterly
Payment Marks Second Re
duction in Six Months.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 27.-The Unit
ed States Steel Corporation was on a
So annual dividend basis today for the
first time since pre-war days.
The action of the Board of Directors
in declaring a dividend Of SO cents
share on the common stock yesterday
broke a tension, which has existed for
two days in Wall Street where steel
is popularity regarded as the barometer
Of the market
This is the first time since 1914, that
steel common has paid as low as so
cents a share. In 1915, no dividend
was paid on the common stock. The
so cent rate is the second reduction in
dividends within six months. In July
the rate was cut from SITS to ST..
The board made no announcement
concerning a successor to James A
Farrell, who retires as president on
April 18.
Mvron c. Taylor, chairman of the
Finance Committee, made plain in
statement that future dividends depend
ings of the company. He said:
During the year 1881, as the pub
lished figures show, nothing was earned
on the common shares, the total dis
tribution in 1881 approximately $43,-
500 .OO0) of dividends upon such shares
having been taken from surplus. 1t is
manifest that continuance of dividends
upon its common stock must depend
upon an improvement in the corpora,
tion's volume of business and earnings"
Figures compiled from the four quar-.
terly statements for 1881, the last OF
which was made public with the diyi-
dend announcement, show a deficit for
the year of $49,2S6,8S2. After dividend
payments in 1880, there was a surplus
of $18,836,097.
At The end of 1880, the corporation
cash surplus or equivalent was $l97,--
600 900. It was from this fund that
the 43,5o0o00 dividend distribution OF
1881 was made.
