Igene Stock Delisted From NASDAQ Trading
Igene Biotechnology Inc., crippled by dwindling operating funds as it attempts to sell its major products, said yesterday its stock was delisted from NASDAQ trading because the company didn’t meet working capital and surplus requirements. Phillip Gugliotti, chief financial officer of the Columbia-based maker of biopesticides and seafood dyes, said the delisting from the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system was expected, after the firm stopped paying preferred stock dividends last December.

Concern Over Strong Dollar Helps Industrials to 15.30-Point Decline
Stock prices posted their largest decline in more than a week as investors reassessed the potential impact of the rising dollar on the earnings of multinational corporations. Drug stocks were especially weak in the wake of Pfizer’s forecast that second-quarter net income would be down 30% to 40% from a year ago, partly because of the unexpected climb in the dollar. Pfizer closed at 58, down 3 1/8. Merck dropped 2 1/8 to 68 3/4. With the dollar’s recent strength, “the knee-jerk reaction is to sell drug stocks because about 40% of their profits come from overseas,” said Robert Hodgson, an analyst at Oppenheimer & Co. But the impact of the strong dollar on drug companies’ bottom line will be no more than 2% to 3%, he said, “and that has already been factored in” to their stock prices.

A person close to Time said yesterday that its board would meet ”whenever Warner wants to meet.” And an individual close to Warner said that Warner ”has not scheduled a meeting at this point.” Asked whether anyone new had approached Time with an offer, a person close to the company said: ”Time is not for sale; the story is the Time-Warner deal and how it gets revamped.

Pirie, president of Rothschild, said in an interview that Mr. [Rupert Murdoch] was ”seriously interested in getting involved in some way.” Mr. Pirie said, ”There are real opportunities in all this turmoil, which he wants to be in a position to take advantage of.”

Market Place; Why Less Is More At Western Union
Asked if he stands to profit from a lower stock price, Mr. [Bennett S. LeBow] said, ”That’s true and that’s not true.” He said his overall investment would prosper if the company does well. Part of that rise seems to reflect promises that the company is willing to make concessions to bondholders. ”We’ve had various suggestions on covenants and maturities,” Robert J. Amman, the president and chief executive, said in an interview yesterday. ”I think we can incorporate a number of them.” He declined to be specific. That spread, of 22 cents between the common and the implicit common price in the preferred, even ignoring back dividends, has been falling as more investors understand the arithmetic. It was as high as 80 cents a few weeks ago. ”I’m surprised by that myself,” Mr. Amman said of the spread. ”I guess people didn’t focus on it.”

First Interstate Called Top Takeover Candidate
Donald K. Crowley, the Keefe Bruyette senior vice president in San Francisco who wrote the report, described several scenarios for a takeover of First Interstate, including a merger with one of its three big California rivals before the state opens its doors to out-of-state banks in less than 18 months. Crowley also suggested that a foreign bank or a group of non-banking investors could try to acquire First Interstate before interstate banking arrives in California on Jan. 1, 1991. After that, First Interstate could be a target for a New York bank or a financially strong super-regional bank from the Midwest or Southeast. Since then, First Interstate’s performance has lagged behind that of the other big California banks and its stock price remains at a lower percentage of its book value than B of A’s, Security Pacific’s and Wells Fargo’s, Crowley said.

Fears of rising dollar overpower stock prices
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 15.30 points to close at 2503.54. Declining issues led advancers 2 to 1 in New York Stock Exchange trading of 164.9 million shares, up from 151.5 million Monday. Traders blamed the strength in the dollar, which this week hit its highest level in 2 1/2 years against the West German mark, for the selloff, which hit the drug group hard. However, the dollar retreated somewhat during the day. “What’s been happening is we’ve had a rally with three pieces-a strong dollar, strong bond prices and strong stocks. But what’s good for the dollar and for bonds isn’t necessarily good for stocks at all,” said Abby Joseph Cohen, market analyst at Drexel Burnham Lambert.

Fertilizers: A Reshuffled Lineup Faces A Changing Climate
US fertilizer prices are declining after 2 years’ recovery. Nitrogen’s price fell because of lower-than-expected demand in spring 1989. In phosphates, the problem has been overproduction, not slow demand. Price declines are already affecting margins. At present ammonia price levels, it is estimated that 70% of US production is operating at cash cost, 20% is losing money, and only 10% is making money. Turned-around results, fueled by the price recovery, are characteristic of the new fertilizer companies. These improved results have led to public share offerings by the new companies. Nu-West Industries raised $20 million in US share offering in December 1988, and Royster’s proposal to go public has been filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission. The potash sector – relatively stable compared with changes in the phosphates business – is expected to see the largest public offering in the near future. In Canada, the Saskatchewan government plans to sell off Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan, the largest potash producer in the Western Hemisphere.

Cautious Investors Are Mulling Moves As Market Declines for a Fourth Session
Robert O’Toole Sr., manager of institutional OTC trading at Shearson Lehman Hutton, said some investors are awaiting passage of the “triple witching hour” on Friday, which marks the expiration of stock-index futures, index options and stock options and sometimes pushes stock prices lower. As a result, the Nasdaq Composite Index eased 0.09 to 450.64 on 131.6 million shares. Similar skittishness stalled the Dow Jones industrials and the Big Board Composite. Both declined fractionally. Added Tony Cecin, Piper Jaffray & Hopwood’s head of equity trading: “If you just keep pumping prices up, at some point the balloon’s got to burst. This way is healthier.” Mr. Cecin also said some OTC investors are “rotating” out of bigger stocks into smaller ones. He cited WTD Industries, which jumped 3/4 to 10 3/4 on 108,000 shares. The stock’s average daily volume is 32,000 shares.

Hees Int. -Trilon share swap hits snag in Quebec
MONTREAL (CP) – A stock-swap plan that Hees International Bancorp Inc. says is designed to protect minority shareholders in a Hees subsidiary would break a Quebec securities rule forbidding the rigging of stock prices, the Quebec Securities Commission was told yesterday. The plan involves Great Lakes and Trilon Financial Corp. Those companies, as well as Hees, are controlled by Toronto financiers Edward and Peter Bronfman. Hees, a holding company, wants to sell the investment banking arm of Great Lakes to Trilon in exchange for $319 million in Trilon shares. It would realize a profit of between $125 million and $175 million on the deal, Great Lakes chief operating officer, Stanford Riley, told a Quebec Securities Commission hearing.

Ex-Trader Is Indicted in Fraud Case
NEW YORK, June 14 — A federal grand jury today charged stock arbitrageur John A. Mulheren Jr. with 42 counts of securities and tax fraud in the latest case connected to the investigation of corporate raider Ivan F. Boesky.

In February 1988, Mulheren was arrested for carrying a loaded rifle near his Rumson, N.J., home after he allegedly said he planned to kill Boesky and a potential witness in the case against him for talking to government prosecutors.
