An apartment house occupying one full block, preferably in Manhattan, and rum on the co-operative tenant plan will soon be built as an experi- ment if a call for $1,000,000 donation, sounded yesterday by Miss Rose- lie Manning at a meeting of a dozen organizations at the Women's City Club, No. 23 Park Avenue, ts an- swered with the necessary cash. Rep- resentatives of the clubs expressed their belief that the $1,000,000 will be forthcoming. Each club, it is expect- ed, will try to raise its share. Miss Manning declared that the co-operative plan has already estab- lished itself as a success, has effect- ually ended the strife between land- lords and tenants wherever tried, and has resulted in the better care of apartments since tenants do not de- stroy that which is their own. Among those at the meeting were Miss Mary Garrett Hay, who pre- sided, J. ©. Murphy, Andrew EB.

Norman, Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Building Trades Employers’ Association, to-day notified the Building Trades Council that the 1621 wage agreement will re- main in force until March 1. The ex- tension from Feb. 1, the date originally set for the termination of the agreement, was made by a unanimous vote of the Boat of Governors, ding the out- come of negotiations a new agree- ment. from Gimbel | Merket | Sidelights By R. R. Batson. Reports, now being circulated so widely in Wall Street that important steél mérgers, which’ have been under discussion for many weeks have been abandoned, are incorrect. Negotia- tions are still in progress. Jt is true that sharp differences of opinion have arisen as to the basis on which variotis companies should go into the consolidation, but the progpects of ironing out these differences are not by any means hopeless, Appraisers working on the various companies have not completed their work and probably will not complete it for several weeks yet, but they have progressed far enough to give the negotiators a basis for naming tenta- tive terms of consolidation and it has been the discussion of these terms that has led to disagreements. The present complicated status of the steel merger illustrates the rash- ness of stock market traders in mak- ing the consolidation the basis of in- discriminate purchases of stocks, Fed up with the idea that the consolids- tion is a certainty, practically all of the independent steel shares have been eagerly accumulated. Pools have made it the basis of senseless operations. In the first place, if an agreement is arrived at it probably will require many weeks of discus- sion, Secondly, assuming that the consolidation be effected; there un- doubtedly will simply be an exchange of securities for securities of a com- pany yet to be formed. And in the case of more than one company this exchange ia likely to be distasteful to present holders of steel shares. Bankers and steel executives agree that if the merger cannot be put through at this time it will have to be definitely abandoned. Conditions could not be more propitious, Two years ago when a similar merger was attempted steel shares were selling on an inflated basie and directors of steel companies would not listen to reason, but !nsisted that market quotations then prevailing were in line with the intrinsic values of the shares, Now, howeyer, when the steel industry is experiencing the worst depression in its history and steel shares are on a greatly depreciated basis, inflated ideas of values are still in evidence and the economies that would almost surely result from & consolidation of the independents fhay not be brought about. But the outlook is not nearly as hopeless an Wall Street now seems to belive, According to an interest closely identified with the Consoil Gas Company, the decision of direstors to leave the question of the continuance of the present rate of dividend to the Executive Committee, which meets next Tuesday, does not necessarily mean that the present 7 per cent. rate will be cut at that time The question of whether the 80- cent gas rate is confiscatory is before the United States Supreme Court and a decision is expected at any time, It is generally expected that the 8u- preme Court will uphold the decision of the District Court, which was in favor of the comparty. Monday is the last decision day of the Supreme Court before February adjournment. if the gas decision is handed down on Mon- day and ts favorable the regular rate of disbursement will be ordered on Tuesday. If the decision ts not handed down the Executive Committee ts mot unlikely to decide to defer action until the Supreme Court again convenes. Even in the event of an unfavorable decision ft is not thought in well-in- formed quarters that the rate will be reduced below 6 per cent. But this phase of the matter has not been the {subject of official discussion by the Board of Directors or the Executt Committee. One of the main reasons for the renewal of fmpreasive investment buying in the bond market is the expectation that in spite of the cur- rent flurry in the rate for funds loaned for purposes of stock specula- tion, the Federal Reserve Bank can- not reasonably longer defer m reduc- tion,in rediscount rates to 4 per cent. Since the first of tho year the re- serve ratio of the system an a whole has Increased more than 6 points, and now stands at 76.8 per cent. This ix the highest ratio since the latter part of September, 1917. And cash re- serves of the system sfand at $8,058,- 855,000 the highest figure ever reached. Much interest attaches to the forth- coming issue of bon ton Railroad, partic to the amount of underwriting com- missions to be taken by bankers. ‘When money rates were high, and Investment demand was fiat there was sufficient warrant for exacting commissions of from 3 to 4 per cent In the case of the issue of $30,000, 000 Burlington 60-year 5 per cent bonds, to be offered on Monday, 11 1s a moral certainty that there wil be a heavy oversubscription if the bonds are offered on-a basis to yield 5% per cent. or better.
