MOTOROLA INC (96-3/16, down 2-9/16 @ 9:50 ET) is in talks to buy cable TV equipment maker GENERAL INSTRUMENT CORP (53-3/8, up 7/8 @ 9:51 ET) in a stock deal valued at about $10 bln, the Wall Street Journal reported in Monday's online edition. Citing "people familiar with the matter," the Journal said each General Instrument common share would be exchanged for little more than half a Motorola share under the proposed union. A deal could be announced as early as this week, the paper said. The companies could not immediately be reached by Reuters for comment.
