Trends Vast Insull Empire Finds Its Way to Bankers. BY JOHN T. FLYNN
NEW YORK, Dec 4 —The huge hulk of Insull's great holding company, the Middle West Utilities, finally has been reorganized. After three and a half years of receivership this floundering enterprise is started on anew career. The United States Court has permitted the turning over of all its assets to anew company called
the Middle West Corp. The event is full of lessons. The new plan may be difficult t o follow but it is worth the trouble. Back in 1930 this c o r p o ration belonged t o its common s t o c kholders, subject to the claim of its preferred stock holders
Flynn
and its outstanding creditors. a a a WHEN the great corporation collapsed there were four groups of investors who had an interest in this company the common stockholders, the preferred stockholders, the note holders and the bankers who had made loans to the company. The contributions of the four groups to the corporation were as follows: Common stockholder* . $158,800,1100 Preferred stockholders fi11,*39,000 Note holders . . 10,000.000 Banker* 27,000,000 a a a NOW the new company is formed , but as you look at the distribution of what was left among these various interests you will be surprised at how, under the new set-up, the order of importance is completely reversed. Stockholders, noteholders, bankers all turn in their claims and receive instead stock in the new company. Here is what they will get: Common stockholder* 158,829 shares Preferred stockholders 151,928 shares Noteholders 1,290,000 share* Bankers 1,710,000 shares a a a THUS the old laws of finance work ruthlessly. When the wreck is hauled ashore and all the stockholders are drowned, the salvaged property finds its way into the hands of the bankers. Each common stockholder now gets one share in the new company for each 100 he held in the old. That is to say, he gets one share valued at $8 for each SIOOO worth he held in the old company, but he is given a priceless privilege along with all this—the right to subscribe to mare. Thus he is asked to put more money into this company. The intelligent investor will a.sk himself whether or not the Middle West Corp. is the best place in which to invest SB. if he has that much.

COTTON TRADE WITH GERMANY DECREASES Brazil Supplants U. S. as Principal Supplier to Nazis. Hi/ United Prvxs WASHINGTON. Dec. 4 Brazil supplanted the United States as the principal supplier of raw cotton to Germany in the first nine months of 1935, the Commerce Department reported today. Total German imports of raw cotton in the January-September period of 1935 amounted to 221.795 metric tons compared with 265,709 metric tons in 1934. The value of the raw cotton imports in ihe 1935 period was $84,087,000 compared with $74,238,000 in 1934. The United States’ share of this trade declined from 166,996 metric tons in 1934 to 46.117 tons in 1935, while imports from Brazil increased from 3.164 metric tons to 61,874 tons.

NATIONS APPLYING ECONOMIC SANCTIONS VIEWED ULTIMATE LOSERS IN WORLD COMMERCE Production Stimulated in Country Against Which Embargo Is Directed, Writer Explains. BY CLARENCE W. FACKLER Professor of Economirs, New York University NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—As a result of relentless pressure by Great Britain more than 50 countries have assumed the role of belligerents and, acting together under the banner of the League of Nations, have commenced to crack down on Italian trade. The Romans have been stigmatized for two breaches of etiquette.
Without troubling to manufacture even a simple grievance they heve attempted, at i the point of the sword, to initiate Ethiopia into higher civilization—a fraternity of questionable fellowship and devotion. And they have presumed to challenge the right of Great Britain, a country much more subtle in her imperialism. to dominate affairs in the Mediterranean. Protect Britain’s Trade Route Pummeling Italy is to be accomplished with the injurious thongs of commercial and financial non-inter-course. But if the backswings of the lashes cut deeply into the profits of any of the League states, always holy and honest in their dealings, concessions will be granted back and forth as freely as political patronage in America after a presidential landslide. In other words, instead of fighting another armed war to end war the league is trying ecowarfare to abolish war. Outwardly, the plan is to save Ethiopia from further invasion. But | the real purpose is to protect Great Britain's trade route through the Suez Canal to India. Designed to j curtail Italy's purchasing power, the | international boycott, as now in- | voked, stops all exports to her of essential war materials. And, what is more 9penly hosI tile, it prohibits all imports from Italy except gold, silver and cultural objects. Besides, most of the League members will refuse her financial aid.
Encourage Offending Nation Applied in the interest of peace | these sanctions are very expensive, however justifiable they may be. Momentarily they deprive enterprisers in neutral countries of profits which could be secured by lending a helping hand to both armies, engaged as they are in the honorable and glorious business of human slaughter. In the long run, however, economic sanctions have the disadvantage oi encouraging the offending nation, even at great expense, to produce goods which it formerly imported. So other countries sooner or la er are compelled to make permanent readjustments in their industries, in spite of the possibility of higher production costs. To a considerable extent the effectiveness of these embargoes de- ! pends also upon the co-operation of non-members of the League. Interesting in this connection is the neutral policy of the United States. While apparently leaning over backward in her desire to co-operate, American embargoes on exports are legally limited to arms and munitions. Dangers to United States Seen The exportation of many other essential war materials like oil and cotton cannot be prevented, but if sold and transported to Ethiopia such goods could be seized by Italy. Such an act would probably draw America into the war. In all probability the sanctions are to be applied slowly and imperfectly. Italy will thus be given ample opportunity either to get in and out of Ethiopia gracefully or ! time to effect a settlement with England and France—the two selfappointed, independent deputies of the League. It is unfortunate for world recovery that embargoes of such magnitude in international trade should be invoked at this time, and particularly so since they may easily provoke a war with arms, which is even more destructive. The point is that there is no safety in any kind of war—armed or economic.

The price of building materials has remained steady during the last two years. While wholesale prices, as a whole, have advanced about 3 per cent during the last year, the price of building maerials has increased only about ] per cent. However. compared with the low point in 1932 and 1933 building material prices have advanced 23 per cent. From the standpoint of costs, now is a most favorable time to build.

SWINE VALUES RISE 10 CENTS Cattle, Lamb'o Unchanged; Vealer Prices Move Sharply Lower. A general increase of 10 cents in the pork market today at the Indianapolis Stockyards again carried the top price above the $lO level which was established late last week for the first time since October. The top today held at $10.05. An extremely sharp decrease in j the number of receipts was believed j largely responsible for the model-- ! ate upturn in prices. Receipts were estimated at only 4000, compared with 8000. respectively, in the last two sessions. Holdovers numbered 134. Trading, however, developed slow after the opening, but turned fairly active as the session progressed. A fairly strong demand prevailed for practically all classes. The bulk of 160 to 300 pounds, cashed in at $9.90 to $lO. Heavies, ranging from 300 pounds and upward, brought $9,60 to $9.80. Lightweights, scaling 100 to 160 pounds, sold at $9.35 to $9.35. Packing sows held at $8.50 to $9.50, Initial trading in the cattle market was limited and mostly unchanged, especially on steers and heifers. Cows and bulls, however, were strong to slightly higher. Most steers were eligible to sell at $lO downward, while few held around sll. Heifers brought $9.35, with most sales at SB. or below. Bulls held at $4.25 to $6. Receipts were 1200. Vealers lost the advance of the previous session, moving sharply 50 cents lower. The bulk of good and choice kinds sold at sll to $11.50.' Receipts were 600. With trading not fully developed in the lamb market, native grades were mostly steady at yesterday’s opening. Bulk of good and choice ewe and wether kinds sold at $10.50 to $11.25. Fed western and yearling classes were absent. Slaughter sheep sold at $3.25 to $5.25. Receipts were 1500. HOGS Nev. Bulk. Top. Receipts. 27. $9.70@ 9.80 $9.80 3000 29. 10.05® 10.15 10.15 6000 30.
