DECISION OPENS WAY
FIR BIG NEW ISSUES

The decision of the United States su-
preme court on the stock dividend case,
involving the question of whether such
declarations would be taxable as income
to the individual stockholders will mean
that a number of local concerns will at
once declare such dividends and thereby
reduce reserves accumulated from their
earnings.
One Of the largest declarations viii be
by the VIM. r. Moore Dry Goods COM
pany, announcement having been made
at the annual stockholders meeting in
January that decision favorable to the
stockholder would be followed by issu-
ance of one share Of new stock for each
one of the old, which win increase the
outstanding stock to S1,200,000.
Figuring old stock as worth around
$500, which has been the asked price
for some time, brokers think the quo
tatien will perhaps drop to around $50,
although it will be several days per-
haps before this can be determined.
Interest in this decision here and else
where has been keener perhaps than in
any case in recent years and the prob
abilities are for many declarations sim
liar to that of the big local dry goods
house.
