PUBCO <PUBO> DECLARES DIVIDEND RIGHT
Pubco Corp said its board declared a
dividend distribution of one common stock purchase right on
each outstanding share of Pubco's common stock.
It said each right will entitle shareholders to buy one
share of common stock at an exercise price of three dlrs.
The rights will be exercisable only if a person or group
acquires 20 pct or more of Pubco's common stock or announces a
tender which would result in ownership by a person or group of
20 pct or more of the common stock, the company said.
Pubco said it will be entitled to redeem the rights at 0.1
cts per right at any time before a 20 pct position has been
acquired and afterward in certain circumstances. It said the
exercise price will be substantially reduced in the event of an
acquisition of 25 pct or more of common stock.
If Pubco is acquired in a merger or other transaction, each
right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the right's
then-current exercise price, a number of the acquiring
company's common shares having a market value at that time of
twice the right's exercise price, the company said.
The dividend distribution will be made March 31, 1987,
payable to shareholders of record on that date. The rights will
expire ten years later on March 31, 1987, the company said.
Pubco said the rights are not being distributed in response
to any specific effort to change control of Pubco, and the
board is not aware of any such effort.

VERTEX <VETX> TO BUY COMPUTER TRANSCEIVER STAKE
Vertex Industries Inc and
<Computer Transceiver Systems Inc> jointly announced an
agreement for Vertex to acquire a 60 pct interest in Computer
after it completes a proposed reorganization.
Computer has been in reorganization proceedings under
chapter 11 since September 1986.
The companies said the agreement would allow Computer's
unsecured creditors and debenture holders to receive new stock
in exchange for exsiting debt, and for shareholders to receive
one new share of Computer's stock for each four shares
previously held.
The companies said the United States Bankruptcy court for
the Southern District of New York has given preliminary
approval for the proposal, which is subject to formal approval
by Computer's creditors and the court.
Under the agreement, Vertex also said it would supply
Computer with 250,000 dlrs of operating funds, and arrange
renegotiation of its secured bank debt, among other things.

U.S. GRAIN ANALYSTS SEE LOWER CORN, SOY PLANTING
Grain analysts surveyed by the American
Soybean Association, ASA, projected acreage this year at 59.1
mln acres of soybeans and 64.7 mln acres of corn.
In 1986, farmers planted 61.5 mln acres of soybeans and
76.7 mln acres of corn, according to the February 9 USDA
supply/demand report. The USDA is to release its 1987 planting
intentions report March 31.
The survey included 15 soybean estimates and 13 corn
estimates and was released in the March 16 Soybean Update
newsletter sent to members.
Estimates ranged from 56.0 mln to 63.0 mln acres of
soybeans and 59.5 mln to 68.0 mln acres of corn.

BANK OF FINLAND TO TRADE IN BANKS' CERTIFICATES
The Bank of Finland said it has
started dealings in banks' certificates of deposits (CDs) with
immediate effect and that it was prepared to issue its own
paper to stimulate operations on the domestic money market.
Bank of Finland Governor Rolf Kullberg told a news
conference the Bank will also limit credits on the call money
market from March 30, 1987, by introducing a maximum credit
amount and a penalty rate if banks exceed this ceiling.
'The recent introduction of three-month money and these new
regulations are decreasing the role of the call money market
and the discount rate as monetary instruments,' Kullberg said.
Bankers welcomed the central bank measures saying these
were needed to accelerate the domestic money market. The Bank
of Finland had never before been allowed to issue its own CDs,
they said.
'The central bank for the first time has an instrument with
which it really can influence the price of money in this
country,' one banker said.
Under the new rules banks are limited to call money credits
to a maximum of 7.5 pct of the total of their equity capital
and cash reserves. A penalty rate of interest of 19 pct is now
introduced if the limit is exceeded.
Director Sixten Korkman at the Bank of Finland's monetary
department said he expected the bank to pursue an active policy
on the interbank market as an issuer of own-CDs.
'We are free to do it, so maybe on Monday we will issue the
first, just to see how the system functions. Overall I think we
will issue at least a few times a week,' Korkman told Reuters.
He said the bank was likely to aim at CDs with a
three-month maturity at first as the market was best developed
for paper of that maturity.
The Bank of Finland introduced last December three-month
credits and deposits at rates determined by the central bank
and the commercial banks as a shift away from the traditional
overnight call money market.
Liquidity on the call credit market has fallen from around
nine billion markka in early December to 167 mln last week,
while three-month credits have risen to three to four billion.
On the interbank market there has been an increasing trade
in banks' CDs, estimated to be some eight billion markka. In
addition, commercial paper accounts for around five billion
markka and Treasury Bills two billion.

Carteret Savings Bank said it

Carteret said it has opened a retail banking office in
Vienna, Va., as the next step in its move to build a strong
presence in the Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Md., area.
Carteret said the new bank has two offices outside
Baltimore, which were acquired last June when Carteret merged
with Admiral Builders Savings and Loan Association.
The company said it plans to open a retail banking office
in downtown Washington this summer, plus several more offices
in Baltimore County and others in Fairfax County, Va. Carteret
said it may open more loan offices in Virginia and Maryland.

MCDONALD'S <MCD> UP ON REAFFIRMED RECOMMENDATION
The stock of McDonald's Corp rose
sharply this morning after analyst Daniel Lee of Drexel Burnham
Lambert Inc reiterated his recommendation of the stock, traders
said.
McDonald's, an operator of fast food restaurants, rose
1-5/8 to 77-3/8.
'Comparable store sales are up 5.6 pct in 1986 vs 1985,'
Lee said, 'and the stock is trading below the market multiple.'
He said 'not many companies have a consistent 15 pct annual
earnings growth rate, return on equity above 20 pct, but trade
at less than the market multiple.'
Analyst Lee said 'the introduction of a new line of salads
this spring, at about the time we are all trying to squeeze
into bathing suits, should boost sales.'
He also noted that 'the average McDonald's does about 1.369
mln dlrs in revenues a year. That compares with 1.1 mln dlrs a
year for the average Burger King and 800,000 dlrs a year for
the average Wendy's.' Since it cost about the same to build a
single store for any one of these chains, he said, 'McDonald's
can well justify their expansion.'
Lee expects McDonald's to earn 4.40 dlrs a share in 1986
and 5.15 dlrs in 1988. Last year it earned 3.72 dlrs a share.

ITALY SETS RULES FOR COMPANY HOLDINGS IN BANKS
Companies will henceforth be able to own
stakes in banks, but these should not constitute a 'dominant'
holding, an Italian government committee ruled.
The Interministerial Committee on Credit and Savings,
headed by Treasury Minister Giovanni Goria, said its decision
reflected the 'need to safeguard the principle of separation
between banks and non-financial concerns.'
It did not quantify what might constitute a 'dominant'
holding.
The committee also set conditions for the allocation of
credits by banks to companies or individuals holding stakes in
them, and stipulates conditions under which the Bank of Italy
could exercise its powers of control in the case of stakes held
by banks in companies or other banks.
Under the ruling, credits given by banks or their
subsidiaries to groups or individuals holding five pct or more
of the bank's capital must not exceed defined limits.
The value of credits given cannot exceed either one-fifth
of the combined capital and reserves of the bank itself or
two-fifths of the value of the stake owned in the bank by the
group or individual concerned.
Exceptions to these conditions include credits to concerns
in which the bank itself has a stake and to branches of foreign
banks. Credits made by foreign companies or banks to
subsidiaries which have their legal base in Italy will also be
excluded from the conditions.
The Bank of Italy will request banks to insert rules in
their statutes to ensure that companies or individuals holding
five pct or more of the bank's capital are not given privileged
treatment with regard to credit allocation and terms.
With regard to bank holdings in companies, the Bank of
Italy can exercise supervisory controls when information on a
bank's consolidated activities show single shareholdings in a
company or another bank of 25 pct or more, owned directly or
indirectly.
Such controls can also be exercised even if the stake held
is below 25 pct if it can be considered a controlling interest.
The controls will not be exercised in cases where the value
of the bank's stake in a concern is below the lesser of two
predefined limits.
These limits are set at 15 billion lire or two pct of the
total assets of the parent company of the shareholding bank.

TALKING POINT/FIRST CITY BANCORPORATION <FBT>
First City Bancorporation's sale of 54
mln dlrs in oil loans to Prudential-Bache should significantly
reduce its energy problems, but the bank's losses are still
virtually guaranteed to continue, analysts said.
The package of energy loans was sold at book value, so
First City did not to show a gain or loss, said bank spokesman
James Day. He added it was possible First City would sell more
of the bank's remaining 1.4 billion dlrs in oil-related loans
to raise cash.
The loans had been made by First City to oil producers and
to oilfield service and supply companies. Day said some had
already been classified as nonperforming, or charged off as a
loss, but he could not identify how many were included in those
categories.
The loans were purchased by Prudential Bache's Energy
Growth Fund, a limited partnership created last month with 90
mln dlrs in funding to invest in oil and gas properties.
First City, the big Texas bank hit hardest by the downturn
in oil prices, lost a record 402 mln dlrs in fiscal year 1986
and has said it is seeking a merger partner or some other
capital assistance. The Houston-based bank's nonperforming
assets totaled 897.1 mln dlrs at yearend, up from 563.1 mln
dlrs at the end of 1985
Analysts have said no buyer is likely to be interested in
the troubled bank unless government assistance is available.
'Their problems are not just limited to energy. They have a
substantial portfolio in real estate. This sale in and of
itself won't make the company look better to a potential
buyer,' said Ray Archibold, a banking analyst with McCarthy,
Crisanti and Maffei Inc.
'It does reduce the bank's exposure in energy loans and 54
mln dlrs is a substantial amount,' Archibold said, 'but the
deal represents only about four pct of their energy loans.'
Of First City's total loan portfolio of 9.9 mln dlrs, about
14 pct or 1.4 billion dlrs were made to energy producers or
suppliers, analysts said. Its record losses have been caused by
its past status as one of the nation's top lenders to oil and
gas producers and suppliers during the boom days of the late
1970s and early 1980s.
First City said about half of the loans sold to Prudential
came from its Energy Finance Co., an entity formed in 1982 to
loan money to 'more venturesome' oil borrowers that promised a
higher potential return. The other half of the loans were from
First City's lead bank in Houston.
Chris Kotowski, an analyst with Oppenheimer and Co., said
the sale of the package of energy loans was the first
encouraging news from First City in months.
'It's not going to solve all of First City's problems but
it's a good transaction for them. It may be possible for them
to sell additional loans,' Kotowski said. 'Prudential can fund
these things more cheaply than First City and there's an
incentive to invest in troubled energy companies right now as
values are depressed'
In a statement, First City chairman J.A. Elkins said the
bank's strategy was to reduce the proportion of energy loans to
total loans. 'This move, which we believe is the first
transaction of its kind, helps us further, and we were able to
make it without suffering a loss.'

AUDIO/VIDEO <AVA> SUES OVER CYCLOPS <CYL> BID
Audio/Video Affiliates Inc said it
has filed suit against <Dixons Group PLC>, Cyclops Corp,
Alleghany Corp <Y> and others in connection with Dixons'
recently completed tender offer in which it raised its
ownership of Cyclops to 56 pct.
The company said the suit, filed in U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of Ohio, seeks a temporary restraining
order and preliminary injunction requiring Dixons, for 10
business days, to permit any Cyclops shareholder who previously
tendered and now wishes to withdraw to do so.
The company said the order and injunction would also
prohibit Dixons from exercising a 'lockup' option granted it by
Cyclops and prohibit Dixons for 10 business days from
attempting to exercise any control over Cyclops.
Audio/Video said the suit also requests the court to order
Cyclops to immediately provide to all potential bidders for
Cyclops all information given to Dixons.
Audio/Video and Citicorp <CCI> have been tendering for all
Cyclops shares in a competing offer at 80.00 dlrs per share but
said it could raise its bid to 92.50 dlrs under certain
circumstances. Dixons offered 90.25 dlrs in its tender.
In February Alleghany agreed to buy Cyclops' steel and
nonresidential construction business for 111.6 mln dlrs in cash
and the assumption of liabilities.

DIXONS SAYS SEC MOVING ON CYCLOPS <CYL> TENDER
<Dixons Group PLC> said the
Securities and Exchange Commission has authorized, but not
commenced, the filing of an action against it concerning its
waiver of a condition in its tender offer for Cyclops Corp.
Dixons has offered to buy about 80 pct of Cyclops shares.
The SEC action deals with a waiver by Dixons of a condition in
the tender offer which was made without an appropriate
extension of the offer, Dixons said.
Dixons also said it is currently discussing the matter with
the SEC. The SEC has a standing policy of never confirming
or denying investigations or upcoming legal action.

RECOMMENDATION REITERATED ON WANG LABS <WANB>
Analyst Thomas McCrann of Merrill
Lynch said he reiterated a 'buy' recommendation of Wang
Laboratories Inc, noting that a successful cost cutting
campaign could reduce the earnings loss expected for the third
quarter ending in March.
Wang was the most actively traded stock on the American
Stock Exchange, rising 3/4 to 16-5/8.
McCrann said that 'Wang is a little bit ahead of where they
were expected to be in their cost reductions, and as a result,
the odds have increased that the loss for the quarter will be
less than had been expected.'
McCrann said he expects Wang to report break even earnings
per share or only a small loss per share for the third quarter.
He said for the year, however, the company should report a
loss of about 50 cts a share compared with earnings of about 35
cts a share a year ago.

JAPAN, BRITAIN DISAGREE ON TELECOM MERGER
Cable and Wireless Plc <CAWL.L> is
resisting attempts to merge two Japan-based telecommunications
firms in the hope that overseas political pressure will force a
change in those plans, a company executive said.
Cable and Wireless, which holds a 20 pct stake in one of
the two Japanese firms, is opposed to plans to reduce its share
to three pct in the merged firm, director of corporate strategy
Jonathan Solomon told reporters.
That plan, put forward by a senior member of the powerful
business organization Keidanren with the tacit backing of the
Post and Telecommunications Ministry, has caused a storm of
protest from abroad that Japan is seeking to exclude foreign
firms from a meaningful position in the market.
Pacific Telesis Group <PAC.N> of the United States also
holds a 20 pct stake in one of the newly formed consortia,
<International Digital Communications Inc> (IDC).
Solomon said that both British Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher and U.S. Secretary of State George Schultz have
written to the Japanese government about the planned merger.
A key U.S. Senate committee, Commerce Secretary Malcolm
Baldrige and Trade Representative Clayton Yeutter have also
expressed opposition to the merger, he said.
The Post and Telecomunications Ministry reiterated again
that it sees no need for two competitors to <Kokusai Denshin
Denwa Co Ltd>, which holds a monopoly on international calls
from Japan. The ministry has also suggested that foreign
shareholders not hold managerial positions in the new firm.
In an attempt to hammer out an agreement, Solomon today met
Fumio Watanabe, the senior Keidanren officer trying to arrange
the merger. But the two sides remained deadlocked.
At stake is C and W's 400 mln dlr project to lay fibre
optic cables between Japan and Alaska, to form part of its
global network.
'C and W wants to start right away on the project, such as
application and other procedures,' said Watanabe, who is also
chairman of <Tokio Marine and Fire Insurance Inc>. The Japanese
side is saying that the decision on such a plan should be left
with the new firm, after the merger.
'These decisions (on the merger) were made in consideration
of Japan's economic conditions and legal systems. I told him we
are not a colony or something,' said Watanabe.

GERMAN MONEY SUPPLY GROWTH SLOWS IN FEBRUARY
West Germany's money supply growth
slowed in February after January's sharp rise but the trend is
still definitely upward, the Bundesbank said in a statement.
Growth in the traditionally broad M3 aggregate was only
moderate in February. While cash in circulation, deposits with
statutory withdrawal notice and sight deposits grew sharply,
short-term time deposits fell after expanding unusually
strongly in January.
In the six months to February, M3, which excludes holdings
of German non-banks abroad, grew at a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of 8.5 pct after 9.8 in the six months to January.
Compared with February 1986, M3 rose 7-1/2 pct.
In the six months to February, M2, which excludes time
deposits with statutory withdrawal notice, rose at a seasonally
adjusted annual rate of 8.8 pct and M1, which consists of cash
and sight deposits, rose seven pct.
International transactions of non-banks again led to a
significant inflow of funds, the Bundesbank said.
Net claims of commercial banks and the Bundesbank against
foreigners, refecting these foreign payments, increased by 9.1
billion marks in February, little changed from January's rise.
But in contrast to January, the dampening effect of the
inflow on domestic credit demand outweighed the expansionary
effect on money growth, the Bundesbank said.
Outstanding bank credits to companies and private
individuals remained virtually unchanged in February.
A sharp drop in short-term company credits, which reflected
the foreign funds inflow, was balanced by a moderate rise in
long-term credits and a sharp rise in credits for securities.
At the end of February total bank credits to the private
sector were 4-1/2 pct above the February 1986 level.
The effect of public authority cash movements on the money
supply was slightly expansive, the Bundesbank said.
Although banks acquired large amounts of public authority
paper, public authorities drew down book credits at commercial
banks and the Bundesbank.
Capital formation strengthened in February and slowed money
supply growth to a larger extent than in January.
A total of 7.7 billion marks in long-term funds was placed
with banks after 6.6 billion the previous month.

EC SAYS U.S. BROKE TRADE RULES IN AKZO-DUPONT ROW
The European Community Commission has
charged the United States with breaking international trade
rules by excluding Dutch-made fibres from the U.S. Market and
said it would take the issue to the world trade body GATT.
In the latest of a series of trade disputes with
Washington, the executive authority alleged that a section of
the U.S. Tariff Act was incompatible with the GATT (General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) because it discriminated
against imported products in favour of domestically-produced
goods.
The Commission said it would ask Geneva-based GATT to rule
on whether the section in question, which officials said had
proved a barrier to many EC exporters, conformed to its rules.
Commission officials did not rule out retaliatory measures
if, after a GATT decision against it, Washington failed to
bring the disputed section into line with international rules.
The executive's decision to go to GATT follows a complaint
to it by the Dutch company Akzo <AKZO.AS>, whose 'aramid'
synthetic fibres have been banned from the U.S. Market because
of charges by the U.S. Firm <Dupont> that the fibres violate
the American company's patents.
Akzo alleged that the ban, imposed by the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC), was discriminatory and
incompatible with GATT provisions.
The dispute centres on the fact that section 337 of the
U.S. Tariff Act gives the ITC jurisdiction over imported
products. The EC Commission charged that EC producers did not
have the same possibilities for defending themselves before the
ITC as they would have in a normal U.S. Court.
'Consequently the procedure followed...Is less favourable
than that which takes places in normal courts of law for goods
produced in the United States,' it said in a statement.

HOUSTON METALS' MINE YIELDS POSITIVE RESULTS
<Houston Metals Corp> said the
the first phase of the underground rehabilitation, extensive
drilling and bulk sampling program at its Silver Queen Mine has
yielded positive results.
Houston said representative assays from the 2,750 ft and
2,600 ft levels at the south end of the mine established ore
deposits in the following ranges: copper, 3.7 pct to 5.08 pct,
lead .99 pct to 1.5 pct, zinc six pct to 9.6 pct, silver 15.63
pct to 79.92 oz per ton, gold .062 to .19 oz per ton, germanium
93 to 103 grams per ton, gallium five to 18 grams per ton.
In addition, Houston Metals said the weighted average of 25
diamond-drilled holes 375 ft below the 2,600 foot level and 800
ft along the strike assayed gold at .237 oz per ton, silver at
10.91 oz per ton and zinc at 8.99 pct.
An apparent parallel vein structure at the 2,600 ft level
returned similar values, the company said.
It added that preliminary metallurgical tests from
representative bulk ore samples indicate the commercial
feasability of producing a zinc and a copper-lead concentrate.
Houston Metals said gold, silver and the base metals have
recoveries of 90 pct to 95 pct, with 95 pct of gold recovered
from better gold ores, while gallium, germanium and indium have
recoveries of between 66 pct to 82 pct and are included in the
zinc concentrate.
The company's 1987 program of diamond drilling, underground
drifting and metallurgical evaluation is scheduled to start on
April.
Houston Metals said it has a 60 pct interest in the Silver
Queen mines.
It added that funds for the program have been provided by
First Exploration Fund, a Canadian limited partnership
sponsored by Merrill Lynch Canada Inc and Dominion Securities
Inc.

U.S. SAYS USAIR <U> MAY BUY 51 PCT OF PIEDMONT
The Department of Transportation
said it will allow USAIR Group to acquire up to 51 pct of
Piedmont Aviation <PIE> voting stocks pending final approval of
the proposed merger of the two airlines.
The agency said the stock would have to be held in a voting
trust controlled by an independent trustee.
An agency spokesman said that if USAIR, which has proposed
to buy all of Piedmont shares, controls more than 51 pct of the
firm's outstanding stock, it will have one week to sell those
excess shares.
USAIR asked the Department of Transporation earlier this
month to approve a voting trust.
An agency spokesman said this is a device that airlines use
to get majority control of a company it is trying to acquire
while their application before the government is pending
approval.
The spokesman said the firm had asked the transporation
agency permission to buy all of Piedmont's voting stock, the
but agency decided to give approval for 51 pct of shares.
The spokesman said agency action on the proposed merger
application could take as long as six months.

USDA NOT PLANNING ANY MAJOR PRICING CHANGES
The Agriculture Department is not
considering any major changes in its pricing system for posted
county prices, an Agriculture Department offical said.
'We do not have current plans to make any major adjustments
or changes in our pricing,' said Bob Sindt, USDA assistant
deputy administrator for commodity operations.
U.S. grain traders and merchandisers said earlier this week
USDA might act soon to reduce the cash corn price premium at
the Gulf versus interior price levels by dropping ASCS posted
prices to encourage interior PIK and roll movement.
But Sindt denied USDA is planning any such changes.
'If people are suggesting that we are going to make
wholesale changes in pricing, we are not considering this,' he
said.
Sindt, however, did not rule out the possiblity of
implementing more minor changes in its pricing system.
'We are continually monitoring the whole nationwide
structure to maintain its accuracy,' he said. 'If we become
convinced that we need to make a change, then appropriate
adjustments will be made.'
Sindt acknowledged that concern has been voiced that USDA's
price differentials between the New Orleans Gulf and interior
markets are not accurate because of higher than normal barge
freight rates.
He said commodity operations deputy administrator Ralph
Klopfenstein is currently in the midwest on a speaking tour and
will meet with ASCS oficials in Kansas City next week.
Sindt said a number of issues will be discussed at that
meeting, including the current concern over the gulf corn
premiums.
He defended the USDA differentials, saying that these price
margins reflect an average of prices throughout the year and
that seasonal factors will normally cause prices to increase or
decrease.
The USDA official also said that only those counties that
use the Gulf to price grain are being currently affected by the
high barge freight tariffs and increased gulf prices.
When asked if the USDA emergency storage program which
allows grain to be stored in barges was taking up barge space
and accounting for the higher freight rates, Sindt discounted
the idea.
He said USDA has grain left in only about 250 barges and
that, under provisions of the program, these all have to be
emptied by the end of March.

AMC <AMO> TAKES NO ACTION ON CHRYSLER <C> BID
American Motors Corp said its directors
reviewed a Chrysler Corp merger proposal but took no action on
it.
The company said its directors met in New York today at a
regularly scheduled meeting. The board's review is continuing
with the company's independent legal and financial advisers,
American Motors said in a statement issued from New York.
American Motors' board voted to postpone its annual
shareholders meeting scheduled for April 29 in Southfield,
Michigan.
The next regularly scheduled meeting of American Motors
board will be April 29, although it is expected that directors
will meet again prior to that date, according to the statement.
Early last week, Chrysler said it agreed to buy the 46.1
pct interest owned by Regie Nationale des Usines Renault in
American Motors and acquire the balance of American Motors in a
transaction valued at 1.11 billion dlrs.
Later that week, AMC said it had retained financial and
legal advisers and expected to meet periodiocally over the next
several weeks to consider the proposal.

NESTLE SEEKING AUTHORISATION FOR CERTIFICATE ISSUE
Nestle SA <NESZ.Z> said it
would seek shareholder approval to issue participation
certificates up to 20 pct of share capital, instead of the
current limit of 10 pct.
It said it wanted this authorisation in view of future
certificate issues. Nestle's nominal capital amounts to 330 mln
Swiss francs.
Nestle reported net profits of 1.79 billion francs for
1986, up 2.2 pct from 1985, while turnover fell 9.9 pct to
38.05 billion as the Swiss franc strengthened against other
currencies.
The parent company's net profit rose to 666.6 mln francs
from 592.9 mln in 1985, and the company planned an unchanged
dividend of 145 francs per share and 29 francs per certificate
after placing 170 mln francs in reserves, against 95 mln last
year.
The payout represented 27.6 pct of group net profit,
against 28.2 pct last year.
Nestle said it had also invited Fritz Leutwiler, former
president of the Swiss National Bank and currently chairman of
BBC AG Brown Boveri und Cie <BBCZ.Z>, to join the Nestle board.

GATT TO DEBATE U.S. CHARGES OF AIRBUS SUBSIDIES
The U.S. Will pursue its complaint that
European governments unfairly subsidise the Airbus Industrie
aircraft consortium in proceedings at the GATT civil aircraft
committee, a GATT spokesman said today.
The U.S. Presented its case for the first time to the
aircraft committee of the General Agreement on Tariffs and
Trade (GATT) during a special two-day session ending today.
GATT rules cover some 80 pct of world commerce.
The 20-member committee agreed to open debate on the U.S.
Complaint, starting with informal consultations and then
holding a special session in July, trade officials said.
'The tension has eased,' the permanent trade ambassador of
the 12-member European Community Tran Van Thinh told reporters.
'The U.S. Has decided to go through proper channels.'
U.S. Trade officials again made clear their anger over what
they call unfair government support for Airbus, voiced during a
visit to European capitals in February.
In a letter calling for the special committee meeting,
Washington charged France, West Germany, the U.K., Spain and
the EC Commission with unfair practices on behalf of Airbus.
The U.S. Charges that the Europeans are violating rules
laid down in the 1979 Agreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft.
Washington presented its reading of rules on inducement to
purchase aircraft and support for development of airlines
during the special session and asked the committee to confirm
its view.
Official sources in the delegations said the U.S. Views
would be considered during the informal consultations but the
Europeans would also be free to bring up any complaints against
American civil aircraft practices.
Some delegates said the U.S. Position appeared to give such
broad interpretation to the rules as to suggest that the civil
aircraft accord needed re-negotiating. All these matters would
be considered during the informal meetings.

LEADING ECONOMISTS CALL FOR MORE GROWTH ABROAD
A panel of four leading economists
told a congressional hearing today that foreign economies will
need to expand to avoid recession as the U.S. trade deficit
declines.
C. Fred Bergsten, a former senior Treasury Department
official, and Robert Solomon of the Brookings Institution told
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the major exporting
countries risk recession if they do not expand because U.S.
demand for imports is expected to fall.
'They need to beef up domestic demand as their trade
surplus falls,' or unemployment will keep growing, Bergsten
said.
Bergsten predicted the U.S. trade deficit, which hit 169
billion dlrs last year, will fall 30-40 billion dlrs a year for
the next two years as a result of the dollar's 35-40 pct
decline since September 1985.
The government should intervene to push the dollar down
further if the previous declines do not lead to an improvement
in the trade picture, if the U.S. budget deficit is not reduced
and if foreign expansion does not occur, he added.
Solomon said the dollar must fall further to compensate for
the huge interest payments required on U.S. foreign debt. The
Paris agreement between the major industrialized countries
provided only for a pause in its decline, he said.
Rimmer de Vries, senior vice president of Morgan Guaranty
Trust Co., said the U.S. trade deficit problem is a problem of
lagging growth in industrial economies, prolonged currency
misalignment, debt problems of the developing countries, and
unbalanced growth in the Asian industrializing countries.
John Makin of the American Enterprise Institute, suggested
foreign tax cuts to increase demand and pick up the slack from
the U.S. trade deficit fall.

NO FORCE MAJEURE ON LEAD FROM CAPPER PASS
U.K. Smelter Capper Pass denied rumours
that the company had declared, or was about to declare, force

This followed trader talk on the London Metal Exchange,
LME, after broker bids were made at increased premiums for
Capper Pass brand material.
Traders said some slight production problems seem to exist
but are unlikely to have any impact on the market. Lead values
on the LME today were unchanged around 299 stg per tonne for
three months delivery after thin business in a one stg range.

MARK IV CORRECTS AGREEMENT WITH BAIRD <BATM>
Mark IV Industries Inc <IV>, which
has said it may consider a bid to seek control of Baird Corp,
said Baird has not agreed to hold off on any defensive measures
without giving Mark IV at least 24 hours notice.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
Mark IV corrected a statement it made yesterday in another SEC
filing in which it listed several agreements reached with
Baird, including that Baird would not take any anti-takeover
steps without providing at least 24 hours notice.
Mark IV said it was later told by Baird that Baird had
given no such assurance.

COOPER <CBE> ASKS FTC TO END ACQUISITION LIMITS
Cooper Industries Inc asked the
Federal Trade Commission to vacate a 1979 order that requires
the company to get FTC approval before making certain
acquisitions, the FTC said.
The order was issued as part of a settlement of FTC charges
that Cooper's merger with Gardner-Denver Co would lessen
competion and increase concentration in the gas compressor and
industrial air tool industries, the FTC said.
The order requires that, until 1989, Cooper must get FTC
approval before acquiring companies in the natural gas
compressor or hand-held industrial pneumatic tool businesses.

FTC EASES ALLIED-SIGNAL <ALD> UNIT RESTRICTIONS
The Federal Trade Commission said it
eased a requirement that Allied-Signal Inc's Allied Corp
subsidiary get prior FTC approval before making certain
acquisitions in the high-purity acid market.
The FTC said it ended the prior approval requirement
because Allied no longer has businesses covered by the order.
Other restrictions still apply, it said.
The restrcitions stem from a 1983 order by the FTC settling
charges that Allied's 1981 acquisition of Fisher Scientific Co
reduced competition in three high-purity acid markets.
