Public Rushes 10 Buy
u. ). Bonds as Debt
Nears Limit
Restriction on Boby
Bond SoIes Followed
By Sales Goin
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
People rushing to buy a part Of
the Federal debt before it's all used
up were embarrassing the Treasury
today. A.,
The Treasury. aware that the
debt is getting close to the statutory
limit of s45,oOO, 900 600, took action
recently to eliminate about 20 per
cent Of the normal public purchas-
ing OF baby bonds. :
The restriction took effect April
l, but baby bond sales last month,
instead of declining kaSincreased
about $16O0O,OO over M Eh figures
to total of $118,215,573 The April
figure more than doubl the S55,-
671,370 sales total of Al II, 1899.
Surprised officials su Hnised that
lot of investors have zen buying
ahead Of schedule in tn belief that,
when the debt limit is rkached, they
would be unable to buy any more
Federal bonds.
Unlike other types of Government
securities, which are sold in specific
amounts, the Treasury has no handy
method of regulating the amount
OF baby bonds sold. Formerly, the
only regulation was that no one
person could buy more than $4,000
worth of baby bonds in a year. The
new restriction. effective April l,
limits sales to individuals and bars
purchases by corporations or banks.
At last count, the Federal debt
was $42 ,632 ,389, ,765, leaving less than
$2,500, 100000 of borrowing powers
for the Treasury. The Treasury
expects to need all that power in
the next fiscal year, but prefers to
sell securities other than baby bonds
to raise the money.

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 2.-Pan-Amer-
ican Airways Corp. reported yester-
day that 1899 resulted in the big
gest profits in its 12-year history
net earnings of s1,984,4 ,439, or $146 a
share, compared with $46,672, or 3
cents a share. in 1888.
1t was also the greatest year for
the airplane in other fields. Juan
T. Trippe, president, announced
The company's rSdtes were extended
to a total of 62,3O5 miles, compared
with 53,548 the preceding year, and
a total of 110,322,l75 passenger miles
were flown compared with 81 1894 1903
in 1898.
These figures may be compared
with the 25l miles of routes and the
297 900 passenger miles flown in the
company's first year. 1923, an oper-
alton which resulted in a loss of
about 100000.
Trippe indicated that the trans
Atlantic service, inaugurated last
May 20, had proven a success flnan-
cially. for he announced that it is
hoped to have a schedule of six
flights weekly across the Atlantic
before the end of next year.
He commented: "Curtailment Of
surface shipping and the present
suspension of transatlantic service
by competing foreign flag airlines
have created an abnormally large
traffic volume. The management
recognizes this as only a temporary
condition
Permanent stability, on both the
Atlantic and Pacific trade routes,
can be achieved only with the ces-
sation of hostilities and real pros
pect of enduring peace"
He also disclosed that three new
Boeing substratosphere planes will
soon be placed in service" across the
heart of South America. cutting the
flying time from the United States
to Rio de Janeiro to only three days
from the present five. All Latin
American schedules will be made
more frequent, as well.
Brunswick Bake.
The Brunswick Bake Collender
Co. and subsidiaries reported for the
first quarter of 1910, ended March
81, net profits of $118,226, equal to
18 cents a share on the outstanding
common stock.
This compared with $l35 ,199, or
81 cents share. for the correspond
ing period in 1899.
R. F. Bensinger, president, said
sales for the first quarter this year
were 11.8 per cent ahead of year
ago and that prospects for the re-
malnder of 1910 were quite ia
vorable." The company manufac-
lures billiard tables and bowling
alleys and equipment.
Bristol Myers Co.
Bristol-Myers Co. and subsidi-
aries reported March quarter net
profit of s773,031, equal to s1.13 a

Wheat Estimates Rise
Due 10 Favorable
April Weather
From 5 to 6 Million
Bushels Added by
Crop Experts
BY the Associated Press.

a
CHICAGO, May 1.-Two crop ex-
perts who released estimates of
United States winter wheat produc-
ton today agreed that crop i'm
provement during April because of
favorable weather had added ap-
proximately 100000 to 100000
bushels to the prospective harvest.
Their figures indicated, however,
production probably will be more
than 10O,0OOOO bushels below last
years crop of 563, 3,43l 900 bushels.
Mrs. E. H. Miller's estimate was
for a harvest of ASS 5237,000 bushels
while the forecast of James E. Ben
nett g. Co., compiled by c. M. Gal
win, was 44O,891 900.
The Miller figures were 5,311,0 900
above her April forecast, while
Galvin's estimate was an increase
of approximately 100000 bushels.
Both estimated abandonment of
around Is per cent of the acreage,
compared with less than 16 per cent
last year. Heaviest losses occurred
in the Southwestern Great Plains
area, where drought delayed seed
ing and prevented proper germina-
ton.
The April production estimate
of the Government was 426,215,000
bushels.
Mrs. Miller said approximately
100000 acres in the Southwest
might be abandoned under unfa-
vorable weather or come through to
produce light crop. She said
there has been reduction in pros
poets in Oklahoma, but less than
anticipated abandonment in the
Ohio Valley more than offset this.
She estimated Kansas production
at 72,350000 bushels, about the same
as her estimate a month ago.

Bankers Deny Deal
For British Holdings
Of U. ). Steel
foreien-Owned Shores
Reported Being Sold
In Privute Trades
BY PAUL d. GESNER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

Associated Press FINANCIAL Writer.
NEW YORK, May 2.-Rumors
swirled this week that two big finan-
cial houses were negotiating with
the United Kingdoms agent here
for purchase of Great Britain's en-
tire holding of United States Steel
shares requisitioned from British
investors.
Representatives of both financial
houses promptly, however, denied
the rumors.
Not true" said one.
"Baloney!" said the other.
But from now on, until such time
as British-owned American shares
have been disposed Of, such rumors
will continue to crop up.
Great Britain called in from its
investors their holdings Of over 100
American issues, paying them fixed
rates, based on market prices. The
British government has an official
agent in New York to handle liqui-
dation Of the shares. The dollar
balances derived from the sales, 1t
is assumed, will be used to pay for
airplanes, machine tools, steel and
other war supplies and reserves
bought here.
Other Trades Reported.
Brokers say that while foreign
selling of American securities was
substantial last fall shortly after out
break of the European war, the liqui-
dation in recent weeks has dried up
to trickle.
Despite the absence of anything
that looks like heavy foreign selling
in the open market, however, bank
ing circles persistently report that
foreign-owned shares are being
quietly disposed of here in private
deals in small parcels Of 500 to 1000
shares each.
Some observers say American in
vestors shouldn't be surprised if they
wake up at the end of 1910 finding
foreigners during the year had sold
$500 000,0 to ST 900 200, 900 of Amer
ican securities in our markets.
That would be liquidation at rate
of between $66, 900 900 and $83, 600, 900
month. Transactions of that mag
nitude, either in the open market or
through private deals, have not come
to light as yet.
Rumor Follows Rumor.
A rumor that blew about Wall
Street, gained high favor, was de-
MED, then dropped out of sight was
that United States Steel Corp. would
accept "a substantial block" of its
own shares, held by the British
| liquidating agent, as payment for
substantial tonnage" of export steel
for the British.
Then came the current rumor that
financial houses were seeking to ac-
quire the entire British holdings OF
United States Steel. These rum
| blings may be no more than the
normal output of the Wall Street
rumor factory. That does not mean
that they lack all significance. They
indicate clearly the extent to which
foreign securities liquidation, actual
and especially potential, is a topic
of interest wherever bankers and
brokers gather.
Latest corporation figures show
242,325 common and 1888 pre-
ferred shares of United States SteeI
were hel din England as of March
81 this year.
| At the current market these shares
have worth of around $4,000, 900

Tide Wafer Reports
Agreement Reached
With Getty
Long Bottle on West
Coast Is Declared
Ended AmieobIy

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 2.-William F.
Humphrey, president of Tide Water
Associated Oil Co., announced today
that the long battle between his
company and ]. Paul Getty, West
Coast financier, had at last been
amicably settled.
He informed stockholders at their
annual meeting that Tide Water
had executed agreements with Pa
ciflc Western Oil Corp. and George
F. Getty. Inc, both Getty COM
panies, effective yesterday
The agreements provide that Tide
Water will operate all the oil and
gas producing properties of the
Pacific Western and Getty COM
panies III the State of California
under fixed fee and direct operat-
ing cost agreement.
Join With Tide Water.
Under separate agreements Pa
ciflc Western and Getty, Inc, will
join with Tide Water in a program
for acquiring and developing pros
pective oil lands in California.
Tide Water, said Humphrey, will
have a rs per cent interest, and each
of the other two companies named
will have a 1872 per cent interest in
all properties acquired in the latter
project. The operations and acquisi-
tions of such properties will be man
aged by Tide Water.
For many years Getty has at
tempted to obtain representa- ton in
the management of Tide Water, as
serting that his admittedly heavy
common stock holdings entitled him
to a voice in the management.
He claimed at one time to control
As per cent of the common stock
of Mission Corp, holding COM
pany which, in turn, owns about
