which various reasons are assigned
The most logical of these was that
new capital requirements of the gov

There seemed little reason aside
from this for the heavy offerings OF

In the prevailing mood of the spec

the unexpected suspension of the divi-
dend on Peoples Gas, which adversely
affected that stock and allied utilities
