British Spinners
Discuss Price
|AQreement
BY the Associated Press.

MANCHESTER, England, April
12.-Details of a proposed compre-
hensive price agreement on yarn
spun from United States cotton or
American-type cotton designed to
end wild price-cutting were circu-
lated today among the trade.
Lancashire spinners have suffered
big losses attributed to price-cutting
IN the last six months.
The plan, proposed by the owners
of 100000 spindles-more than
half the Lancashire spinning indus
try-Would require support Of 80
per cent of the mill owners to be-
come effective.
1t would provide for a detailed re-
turn from every spinner. A levy not
exceeding one-eighth of one penny
(apout a quarter of a cent? per
spindle would be required to pro-
duce fund of $4,000 needed for
administration of the plan.
An executive council with COM
mittees from each section of the
trade would control the agreement
machinery, with power to fix mini
mum prices for American yarn.
An arbitration board would settle
disputes. Accountants appointed by
the executive council would inspect
the books of firms and in case of
breach of the agreement damages
would be assessed and recovered by
law.
Mill owners would bind them
selves under the agreement for two
years, The agreement could be ex-
tended by vote.

Greyhound Granted
Right 10 Acquire
Control Of 7 Lines
|. c. c. Authorizes Buying
Additional Central and
NorthIonds Stock

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission authorized the Greyhound
Corp. to acquire control Of Central
Greyhound Lines. Inc, of Cleve-
land. and Northland Greyhound
Lines. Inc, of Minneapolis.
The Greyhound Corp. now owns
49.7 per cent of Northland's out
standing common stock. while the
Great Northern Railway holds 1888
per cent.
The Greyhound Corp. was author
lied to purchase 1900 additional
shares of Northland common at
S27.50 per share. This will give
it 5O.7 per cent of Northland's out
standing common.
The Greyhound Corp and the
New York Central Railroad each
owns so per cent of Central Grey
hounds voting stock Greyhound
will pay $4,000 for 10000 shares
of class B voting stock.
In authorizing Greyhound to &C
quire additional stock in Northland.
the commission stipulated that
voting trust agreement with the
Great Northern Railway be termin-
ated, thus giving Greyhound vot-
ing control.
Commissioner William E. Lee
wrote a dissenting opinion, con-
tending the real purpose was to
make it possible for the two Grey
hound subsidiaries to acquire indie
pendent bus lines, particularly tn
enable Northland to acquire the
rights of Memo NJ Liederbach, Its
only bus competitor between CHI
cago and the twin cities through
Wisconsin.
After its purchase of a few ad
ditional shares of stock, Northland
Greyhound no doubt will claim that
it is not controlled by or affiliated
with Great Northern" Lee said.

CHICAGO, April 12-Standard
Oil Co. of Indiana today reported
consolidated net earnings for 1888

on 15,272020 shares outstanding
Earnings in 1887 were SIS $50, 784, or
1886 share.
The decline, according to Edward
G. Schubert, president. was due to
loss in inventory value through re-
duction of crude oil prices and de-
creases both in volume and value of
sales without a comparable decline
in costs.
Sales were off about per cent
totaling 1927 910,574. compared with
$358227 ,298 the previous year. Other
revenue boosted gross receipts for the
year to $340,8l1,871.

"The showing made by the chain
stores last month was the best sales
percentage increase since June, 1887,
despite the unsettled state of foreign
affairs, which probably played a
part in preventing retail trade from
making an even better showing
than was reported last month.
Since November of last year the
trend in monthly sales volume has
been steadily upward. Every l of
the Is reporting companies had a
higher March sales increase than
its sales increase for the year, which
is indicative of the improving trend
of retail business at this time. The
