Greyhound Lines Inc. said yesterday that it had adopted a "poison pill," a provision that makes its stock prohibitively expensive to an unfriendly bidder.

It also said that Connor, Clark & Company, a Toronto investment firm, had accumulated 18.2 percent of Greyhound stock "for investment purposes." Shares of Greyhound fell as low as $9.50 on March 10 from a high of $15.875 on Sept. 22, but closed at $11.375 yesterday.
