Bloomberg News
Dickstein Partners Inc. offered to buy the Hills Stores Company yesterday for $25 a share in cash, or $242 million. Dickstein, an investment firm in New York, already owns 10 percent of Hills, a discount retailer based in Canton, Mass. Dickstein has struggled with the management of Hills since last summer to find ways to raise the company's stock price, and has failed in attempts to gain control of the board and force a buyback of Hills shares. Dickstein now says it is concerned about the company's plans to accelerate its expansion. "Our interest is no longer in influencing the existing management but in forcing the sale of the company," Mark Dickstein, the firm's president, said. Shares of Hills, which said it was reviwewing the offer, rose $2.875, to $23.50, on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Ford Motor Company said that some steelmakers, which it would not name, had agreed to cut their prices 4 percent, effective this week, in a joint effort to reduce costs for both the auto maker and its steel suppliers. Faced with rising costs of raw material and a slowdown in United States auto sales, Ford requested the cut while promising to take steps that will mean savings for the steel companies, Ford officials said. Ford, which spends about $2 billion a year for steel, signed three-year agreements with steelmakers last year that raised prices an average of 8 percent in the first year and a total of 5 percent in the remaining two years.

CSX TAKING 2D-QUARTER PRETAX CHARGE TO ELIMINATE JOBS

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The CSX Corporation of Richmond, Va., said yesterday that it would take a second-quarter pretax charge of $200 million to $250 million to eliminate an undetermined number of jobs and overhaul its telecommunications network. The company has not yet determined how many positions would be cut, said Suzanne S. Walston, a spokeswoman for the railroad and transportation company. Part of the charge stems from CSX's 10-year agreement, announced yesterday, for the AT&T Corporation to design and manage a new telecommunications system for the company. As a result, CSX will write down the value of certain telecommunications assets. Shares of CSX fell 12.5 cents yesterday, to $79.125, in Nasdaq trading.

Santa Claus in the lobby at Christmas. After 65 years and billions of papers, The Daily News is to move today from the landmark Art Deco skyscraper it built in 1930 at 42d Street and Second Avenue. On Monday, when the move is complete, some 500 news employees will occupy a single floor in an office building at 33d Street and 10th Avenue.
