Telegraph rates fall as Western Union swallows A&P
Western Union buys about 72,000 Atlantic and Pacific shares at 25 percent in a 20 year pooling move. The Atlantic and Pacific comes under Western Union control, with managers predicting only a small rate rise and aim to cut expenses from 70 percent to 50 percent of earnings. Details imply stock swaps and potential for rate flexibility depending on management. Separately, the petroleum trade expands, with 200 ships to load oil from New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, as 20,000 oil wells in Pennsylvania and West Virginia yield about 8 million barrels valued at hundreds of millions, fueling global shipments.
