Wall Street Morgan & Cos. Not Expected to Take Over Van Sweringen Railroad Properties for Loan. B\ RALPH lIENDERSHOT Times Special Financial Writer

It would be extremely surprising if J P. Morgan <fc Cos. took over the huge railroad empire built up by the Van Sweringen brothers, even though the firm is privileged to do so at almost any time. The Cleveland capitalists pledged a controlling stock interest in the Alleghany Corporation for loans with the bankers and were unable to meet payments on

the loans at maturity. The bankers, consequently, could attach the collateral, and, since Alleghany owns a controlling interest, either directly or indirectly, in most of the Van Sweringen railroads, they would experience little difficulty in taking over the properties. But Morgan A: Cos. would have little, if anything, to gain in stepping in and operating the properties. The bankers already dominate the management of the companies to a greater or lesser degree and would have little difficulty in forcing their will on this management should the occasion arise. Actual operation would involve certain responsibilities to other stockholders, whereas as things now stand they need think only of their own interests. Moreover, bankers seldom make good operating men. Their training is along different lines. So they would be obliged to hire some one else to run the properties, anyway, and they would have difficulty in getting better men than are now at the helm. And by taking interest payments in new notes they are building up their equity in the company, whereas if

they were to take over the stock they might not fare so well. a a a a it a Capitalists Were Daring On the other hand, it would be rather rough on the Van Sweringen brothers to lose their properties. They have been among the most constructive capitalists of the country in recent years, and their only mistake, apparently, was that they had too much confidence in the economic outlook. Their financial operations, though daring, were conducted under the supervision of the interstate commerce commission and the Morgan firm. a a a a a a The chain store and mail order houses appear to be enjoying good business. The fourteen leaders reported February sales 14.6 per cent in excess of sales for the corresponding month last year. In January the same stores reported an increase of 15 per cent. It is possible, however, that part of the increases this year over 1933 was due to the higher prices prevailing in 1934. The mail order business in particular was helped in no small measure also by the better conditions prevailing in the farming areas as a result of government help.

YVALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, March 10.—The stock market poked along to an irregular close yesterday. Although business reports were more favorable—car loadings advanced, steel production continues to improve, retail trade is on the upgrade, etc.—there was little incentive for market activity. Traders watched Washington for political i developments. Volume fell below ! the 1,700.000 mark of yesterday. A bright spot came in Canadian stocks. International Nickel and Canadian Pacific led the parade on strength of buying from the United States and London. This led to buying in Canadian mining stocks. Their strength was reflected in mining shares of the United States. Nickel at New High International Nickel ran up to 27 %, a gain of % and anew high of the year, and then eased back to around 27%. Canadian Pacific advanced 1% to 17%. Gains in the mining divison ran from fractions to 7 points, the latter coming in Homstake, which hit 354 for a nwe 1034 high. Mclntyre Porcupine gained 1% to 44%, Noranda was up fractionally, Kennecott gained fractionally to 20%, Alaska Juneau was up more than a point at 21%. Cerro De Pasco gained fractionally, U. S. Smelting was 1 ! 3 higher at 128% and American Smelting gained fractionally to 45%, The remainder of the list - remained dull and slightly easier, save for a little strength in the distillery stocks occasioned by some foreign buying. United States Steel was off fractionally to below 54, Dupont lost fractionally. Motor Issues Drop General Motors at 37 3 4 and Chrysler at 53% were off fractionally. Some strength came into the retail shares, but Kresge common was an exception, dropping 3 ! ,4 points to 3%. Wheat showed fractional gains at the close. The bond market—including United States governments —was stronger, while cotton showed a little easiness. Sales yesterday approximated 1.370.000 shares against 1.700.000 Thursday. Curb sales were 290,000 shares against 271.000 Thursday. Dow-Jones preliminary averages showed industrial, 102.44. off .77; railroad, 48.12, off .20; utility, 26.18, off .18.

The History of Gold What does a 50-cent dollar mean to you? Why 99.06 cents instead of 60 cents? Are we on the gold standard? Do we have the “commodity dollar.” Has the dollar ever been revalued before? How many times? At what figure? What is a “gold bullion standard?” What effect have changes in the gold content of the dollar had in past history of the United States? What has been the relationship of silver money to gold in United States history? How many times has congress legislated on gold and silver money? These and hundreds of other questions on the history of gold and silver as money in the United States are answered in our Washington bureau's new bulletin, HISTORY OF GOLD AND SILVER MONEY, just off the press.

PRICES ADVANCE DESPITE LIGHT GRAIN INTEREST Traders Direct Attention on Supply, Demand Situation. BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS Lnited Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. March 10.—Dullness characterized operations on the Board of Trade yesterday and spec- ! ulative interest hit a dead center. The price limits for the day were narrow and trade was at a minimum with commission houses doing little | and the professional eit ment keep- ; mg extremely close to short. Wheat finished % cent higher, corn was up % cent, and oats were % to % cent, higher. The bulk of the business in wheat was around 86 % for the May rieI livery with no attention being paid to the supply and demand situation. Corn showed relative firmness as compared with wheat, but May was for sale at 51 cents and over, checked the advancing tendency. The aggregate trade was not large. Little attention was paid to the oats | and rye pits today and they were affected largely by activity in the other grains. Provisions averaged somewhat firmer on scattered buying.
