RADIO SOARS IN A TECHNICALLY CORNERED MART Stock Sells at $160; Highest Price Ever Reached, Gaining $21.50.

Average Stock Prices

Averago of twenty industrials Monday was 203.33. up 3.09. Average of twenty rails was 136. 06, up .78. Average of forty bonds was 99.19. up .01. By United Press NEW YORK. March 13.—That a technical corner exists in Radio Corporation was demonstrated at the opening today when 25.000 shares of stock sold at $l6O, an overnight gain of $21.50 a share and the highest price ever attained. Shorts were again squeezed in International Nickel which was coming out in long strings on the tape at rising prices. Nickel got up to 98, up 4%, receded to 95'- and then began to recover. General Motors declined % to 156% and other stocks were reactionary. United States Steel lost 214 to 14574 and General Electric 7 s to 139. Stock of Radio Corporation of America, center of the wildest trading on the New York Stock Exchange in recent years, leaped sensationally when the market opened today. Less than two minutes after trading began, 25,000 shares sold at 160, an advance of 2lts points from Monday’s close. 24 Hour Gain The stock opened Monday with 10,000 shares at 120’j, so that the rise between transactions in twentyfour hours was 39% points. The net gain since last Thursday was more than 60 points. With excitement prevailing on the floor of the exchange, the governors were investigating the possibility of a corner in radio stock. Shorts caught bluffing in the gigantic poker game in which millions changed hands, tried frantically to cover. Before the market was fifteen minutes old, it was certain that a repetition of Monday’s scenes would be enacted, when the floor was a mad scramble with brokers fighting to place their orders. The stock began to react soon after the opening and sizable blocks were dumped on-the market by operators desiring to check the too sudden rise. The price began dropping four points at a time until it had been hammered down to 140,' where it steadied. Goes Up Again The rise began again soon, however, and by 10:20 the price had gone back to 146. There seemed littte doubt that large scale operators had obtained control of great blocks of the stock and the hapless bears were due to be squeezed to the limit. There are 1,155,400 shares of R. C. A. common outstanding and the quotation of 140, they were worth $161,756,000. U. S. Steel, General Electric, General Motors and other stable leaders that had joined in the recent advances did not participate in today’s early rise in Radio. Steel was off 2ti points at 145%, while General Motors and General Electric were off fractionally. Radio was holding at around 147 at noon, with the general tone of the market irregular. Trading was brisk in several leading issues. Greater stability was created around noon by diversion of activity into the rails. Renewal of speculative interest in this group was based on the hope that the recent conferences on the eastern trunk line situation would lead to concrete developments in the merger field. Wabash, which is expected to benefit particularly from agreement from Loree and other eastern managers. New York Central and Texas & Pacific moved. Strength in Texas & Pacific revived rumors of early action regarding the establishment of the stock on a-$5 annual basis. Several pools were formed recently in the oil shares on the theory that conditions were slowly turning for the better. A crimp, however, was put in these activities by President Farish of the Humble Oil Company, who said that the oil industry is not going through temporary over-production. Investigate Radio Corner NEW YORK. March 13.—Stock Exchange authorities W'ere investigating today to determine if a technical corner existed in Radio Corporation common stock. The committee on business conduct of the exchange sent out questionnaires to member firms asking them to furnish by 11 a. m. each day until further notice, starting today, the following information in regard to their situation at the close of business on the previous day in the common stock of Radio Corporation of America. 1. The aggregate long and the aggregate short positions of members and customers. 2. Tlis number of shares borrowed and from whom and the number of shares loan and to whom. The wild trading of the last few days which culminated Monday in the heaviest turnover in years, left statisticians uncertain whether an all-time record had been set. Dow, Jones & Cos., and the Wall Street Journal computed sales at 3,810,800, which compares with their own figures of 3,873,700 for March 3, 1926, .the previous record high. The Dow, Jones estimate was the most conservative, other sources making the figure higher and computing it as anew record.

In the Stock Market

<B.v Thomson ic McKinnon ) NEW YORK, March 13.—We are still busy making new records. It is beginning to look as though we made one record of which the country was not aware, a record short interest built up during the latter part of 1927. This short interest constituted the lever with which the last rise was started and has been since going on its own momentum. Os course, such a spectacle as we have witnessed in Radio is not to be expected every Gay. In due course the excitement in this stock will give out and traders will get down to earth once more and will then look around for some new stocks worthy of their support. They will find them without looking very far because we have both in the industrials and rails any number of issues that meet every requirement, and probably to a far greater extent than the issues that have been so ccnsnicuous in the last couple of days. Incidentally we want to inform you that the stock exchange has taken official notice of the unusual activity in Radio and will undoubtedly do its part in keeping the house in order.

Sandy Soil Rich in Humus Is Needed for Evergreens

City Horticulturist Outlines Methods to Use in Spring Planting. This Is the second of a series of interviews with Assistant Park Superintendent George Morgan on spring planting appearing exclusively In The Times. Sandy loam soil rich in humus li needed for evergreens, says Assistant Park Superintendent George Morgan. The soil should be sandy enough to permit good drainage. Clay or other heavy soils should be lightened by mixing sand with rotten manure Extremely sandy soils may be improved by adding some clay or heavy loam and well rotted manure. “If the plants are to be arranged in groups as is often the case around the foundation of a house, and the soil is good, it is well to prepare the entire area to be planted,” says Morgan. Turn Soil Thoroughly “Dig to a depth of eighteen inches and thoroughly turn over the soil, removing roots, stones and other foreign materials. Vrey frequently contractors use rubbish of all kinds for filling around new houses. This rubbish, especiall plaster, is harmful to the plants, and must be removed.” Plants will have a better chance of surviving and will have food for years to come if poor soil is replaced by good dirt around the foundation. Evergreens should be watered freely if the ball of earth around the roots has become dry. Details of Planting “To plant, dig a hole somewhat larger than the ball of dirt, place in the hole, cue the strings and carefully remove the burlap, preserving the ball. Shovel in good loam soil and pack firmly,” advises Morgan.

PRICES ARE STEADY AT CITY MARKET

BY SADIE SHOPPEY The first thunder storm of the season which appears to be the beginning of the spring equinox did not dim the gala appearance of city market this morning—at least not inside the market house. There was not much change in prices this morning. The southern radish is present in greater abundance and still priced at 10 cents a generous measure. There were only a few button ancHcicle radishes to be had, but prices “ere the same as they have been for the past two weeks—lo and 15 cents a bunch. Green onions were a little higher, 8 cents a bunch or two bunches for 15 cents. The dried creaming onions are 10 cents a pound and Spanish onions ranged from 5 to 10 and 15 cents. Cabbage Varies Celery hearts were again a quarter a bunch. The stalks were two for 15 cents. Chinese celery cabbage was 25 and 30 cents a head. Cabbage varied more in price than any other vegetable today, the new running from 6 to 81-3 cents a pound and the old from 4 to 6 cents the pound. Lettuce was evenly priced at 10 and 15 cents a head and leaf lettuce 10 cents a pound.

“Do this several times until the hole is two-thirds full; water well and complete filling. Do not mound up around plant as this forms a shed and the water will run away. “If evergreens are large and there is danger that they may be blown over they should be firmly braced until well established in their new location. Use Plenty of Water “Keep the plants will watered, being sure to apply enough each time so that it reaches the roots. Merely sprinkling the foliage or soil is worse than not at all. Thorough watering twice a week is usually sufficient, depending entirely, upon local conditions. Do not allow crust to form on the soil after watering, but keep the ground cultivated as this conserves the moisture.” Morgan advises great care in selecting varieties of evergreens. “The effect desired should be carefully studied and only theose varieties suitable to the location in wliicl. they are to be placed and the purpose they are to serve, should be obtained. “Properly selected and judiciously arranged, they add much to the general landscape plan, in variety and producing winter effect, but poor varieties improperly placed will detract from the entire planting. Warns Against Pushing “Amateur gardeners should proceed slowly in the use of evergreens and it is always best to procure the advice of one thoroughly familiar with evergreen planting before pro ceeding to the extent of the actual purchase. “Caution should be used in combating insects and diseases, as the plants are very delicate to improper spray solutions. Definitely diagnose the trouble, obtain advice from a reliable source, apply material advised and follow given instructions very carefully," said Morgan. Next article; Trees and shrubs.

STATE FIGHTS MOORE BRIBE TRIAL DELAY Prosecutors Confer With * Witnesses: Special Venire Called. Delay in the bribery trial of City Councilman Boynton J. Moore, set for Thursday in Criminal Court, was believed to be the battle point of attorneys in the case today. No formal request for a continuance has been presented, but it is understood the defense is to ask one. Prosecutors are resisting such a move. Defense Attorneys Henry Winkler and Frank Symmes, and Prosecutor William H. Remy were in conference today with Special Judge Paul G. Davis at the courthouse. Insist Trial Start Special Assistant Prosecutor Erasley W. Johnson also was at the courthouse. He and Remy are insisting that the trial start Thursday, as scheduled. A special venire of fifty prospective jurors has been called to augment the regular jurors. Remy and Johnson arc pushing preparations for their case. They were in conference Monday afternoon with Miss Pearl Nichols, secretary to Mayor John L. Duvall while he was in office; Miss Nichols, Duvall and the then City Controller John J. Collins are expected to be the chief State’s witnesses. Motion to quash the bribery indictment against City Councilman Austin H. Todd was overruled today by Criminal Judge James A. Collins. Todd was ordered into court at 0 a. m. Wednesday for arraignment. Want Moore Trial First One point which was believed to enter into the disagreement of attorneys over a delay was the fact that prosecutors want to try Moore first on the charge picked, one of five now’ pending against him. Special Judge Harry Yockey has qualified to hear the case of Councilman Walter R. Dorsett, set for a week later. If a continuance is granted in the first Moore case, it might interrupt the prosecution's plans, for it is known that Remy and Johnson want to try Moore first.
