Rubber Ready to Declare Dividend for First Time
in Years-Market in General Is Strong

New York, Oct. 5-Expectations that
the United States Rubber Company would
put its stock on a 4 per cent dividend
basis kept the professional element in
n state of bewilderment all the session
to-day. The dividend was not announced
until the stock market had been closed
nearly an hour, and it was impossible
to make sure its effect on the market
because, while the rumor of the coming
declaration was current, few people be-
lieved anything would be done. The
stock merely held its own throughout
the session.
Beet Sugar, however, was very strong
on additional rumors of dividend soon.
These rumors are based on fact The
whole market closed strong and in the
midst of a general rally. In the early
trading an attempt was made in a half
hearted way to break Reading and
Steel, but the stock offered was quickly
absorbed, and the selling orders were
withdrawn.

understood that the company is earning
now at the rate of II per cent, available
for dividends on the common shares. 1t

on the common stock for three years
at least, so that it il IN very strong
