They are busy taking off that coat of brown

Soon twill disappear, they hope.
And with acid, sand, and soap,
with various cosmetics that the willy druggist sells
They scrubbing, tubing, rubbing,
Busy bellies, bellies, bellies, bellies,

Effect OF the Statement Of the

Neither the common nor the preferred
stock Of the Virginia. Carolina Chemical
Company made any gains on the stock
market yesterday, as some had anucI-
pated. On tho contrary. the stock closed
at exactly the same figure on the COM
mon stock esterday az tho day before,
while tho preferred yesterday lost two
points compared with tho closing quota
tons Of the day before.
There arc Enthusiastically many Of tho
stockholders who arc disappointed In the
failure OF the directors to DECLARE tho
usual quarterly dividend, for there were
not few who had hoped that this ace
ton would be taken. Altogether. the
situation Is accepted phllosophcaily. and
renewed confidence In tho early recovery
ago Is felt since the PRONUNCIATION OF tho
stock did not lose anything in value as
result Of tho failure to declare divi-s
dend. and the announcement OF this

have been hurtful not to have done SO.
The showing Of business done and OF
