AMERICAN STORES OFF ON
DIVIDEND DISAPPOINTMENT
Trading in General List Continued Nmro,o and Whbon
Feature of Interest

disappointment in the failure Of the
directors to make some distribution of
surplus earnings to the Junior share
holders was reflected in decline of 50
In American Stores common stock at
the opening local market TO 40.
Interests in close touch with the
management went out of their wey in
the last few. days to discourage reports
circulated of the possibility of some nc-
tion being taken for the Inauguration of
dividends on the common stock.
1t was pointed out while the largely
Increased earnings last year undoubtedly
warranted some distribution, it was be-
lieved to be the consensus of opirion of
the board it would be unwise just at this
time to commence dividends on the
Junior stock. Inauguration of divi-
dends, however, is not far distant, and
unless there shall be some slipping of
cogs, there is every probability of action
being taken il the second quarter.
The stock was readily absorbed on
the decline, especially at the lower level,
disclosing fairly good sized volume of
underlying buying orders. No effort was
made to force rally, but the quick alb
sorption of the earlier offerings later in
fiuenced partial recovery to 401a
Trading in the general list continued
of the same limited proportions as OBJ
served in the preceding sessions. The
extreme narrowness of the market was
indicated in rather wide price changes
recorded IL several inactive issues.
These were made on very limited
amount of business. The more noucea-
BILE included $3.50 advance in American
Gas to 5619, the 81 30 decline in J. G.
Brill to 431A, and the 81 advance in
Westmorcland Coal to 73.
In most of the more prominent local
stocks it was a repetition of the same
juggling IF fractions. Electric Storage
Battery was about the only noteworthy
exception, with a 81 decline at 112.
There WAS continued odd lot buying of
Pennsylvania Railroad at 42h. Insur-
ance Co. OF North America warrants
seemed to have been successfully pegged
at 10. Philadelphia Electric recovered
more than half of the quarterly dividend
which was taken off today. Philadel-
phia Rapid Transit was 4 better at
23H. Lake Superior Corporation de-
clined to l712, while Lehigh Navigato
reccded 81 to 61 y.
1he narrowing down of the trading
is neither unnatural nor illogical when
the tight money market is taken into
consideration. The inability of obtain
ing necessary accommodations in time
loans, and the continued high rates for
call money leave little encouragement
to either increase or extend market COM
mitments. In addition to the restraints
of the money market the uncertainty
concerning basic conditions tends to
promote caution. These have chiefly
to do with the foreign exchange situa-
ton, foreign trade, wages and the
volume of business credit available.
The inability of forcing quick
liquidation of commercial accounts is

MARKET SIMPLY
TRADERS AFFAIR
Railroad Bill Received as the
Best That Could Be
Expected
PRICES UNSETTLED D

New York. Feb. 19.-The New York
Evening Suns closing financial review
today says:
There was unsettlement in today's
stock market through good part of
the forenoon, in which period many is
sues suffered sharp losses while others
made little change, and a few, like the
oil group, were strong. The reason
appeared to be that trading was left
almost wholly to the professionals, who
continued more or less bearish in their
convictions.
The series of raids-if they may be
so dignifed-were kept going by an
excess of effort that demonstrated clear
ly enough the artificial character of
the undertaking.
Trading was thin. in truth. from the
beginning and there was little in the way
of news developments to swell it. Ex
Cept in the case of the oils and some
scattered issues under the influence of
special conditions. the list did not show
material signs of stiffeniug until close
to midday. and then not all of it.
The steels continued backward, also
the coppers and motors. while the oils
of to 4 points. Such buying power
as there was centered in the railroad
department.
The provisions of the bill which the
conferees have agreed upon and re-
ported and which will come up for de-
bate ir the House on Saturday. while
not meeting unanimous approval nat
urally, We're accepted as probably the
best that could be expected if legisla-
tion was to be enacted in time to pro-
vide for the return of the lines on
March l.
The larger roads were said to be pre-
pairing to test the bill in the courts as
soon as it should become law or the
score of confscation, while the labor
element was credited with the intention
Of opposing the measures passage be-
cause of the clause entailing six
months status quo with respect to
wages.
Thus opposing to the bill itself and
satisfaction that some sort OF legisla-
tion would go through in time apparent
ly conflicted in some degree, although
price movements favored the construct
ed side. Two to three points were added
TO the closing levels of Wednesday, the
lower priced issues displaying the most
pronounced strength, such as Rock
Island, New Haven, Missouri Pacific
ST. Paul and so on. Reading also did
well. while Union Pacific moved for
ward some 3 points from the low price
of the forenoon.
Evidence of a further hitch in the
progress of the peace treaty matter was
in general rather dampening. Call loans
again renewed and ruled at per cent
for the third consecutive day, but it was
not apparent that the circumstance was
a positive factor in sustaining the list.
As the session drew TO a close the
industrials continued to improve grad
ually. while tho rails gathered new
strength, some of the latter, like Rock
Island. gaining as much as 4 points.
Short covering became very active in
the last half hour. Bonds were steady,
some of tho railroad issues showing
fractional advances.

TRADING DEVELOPED MORE
TWO,SLDED APPEARANCE
Railroad Shares Taken Up Again Afternoon and GiUen
Further Substantial AdUdnces

New York. Feb. 19.-Trading in to
days stock market was distinctly more
Two sided, and price movement, in con
sequence, was highly irregular. Almost
from the outset fluctuations were un
certain and confusing, not because oi
any adverse developments overnight
but entirely because of technical condi
tions within the market itself.
To those who had expected buoy
ant response to the report of the con
ference committee on railway legisla =
tlon the market undoubtedly was disap
pointing. There was show of strength
IN the rails at the outset, but the move e
ment was SHORT lived, although the
transportation shares, as a whole, gave
good account of themselves during the
balance of the morning, particularly in
view of the increasing strength of the
reactionary currents in the industrial
division.
The street Interpretation of the con =
ference committee report was generally
favorable, but it was widely appreciated
that the proposed bill had a hard row
to hoe ahead of it before il finally
emerged from the two houses at Wash
ington. The various provisions were
widely discussed, but opinions were de-
ferred until the temper of Congress
and the labor representatives was OBJ
tanned.
Apart from the railroad legislation
developments bearing upon the market
were of minor significance except in
foreign exchange. in which further i'm
provement was shown. The market vir-
tually made no perceptible response to
the maintenance of the 6 per cent call
money rate. 1t, however, is generally
conceded, both in banking and market
circles, there is little possibility of per
manent easier conditions in the money
market until the time loan rates recede
and the supply of loanable funds be-
comes more liquid.
During the best part of the day the
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-02-19

market virtually resolved itself into a
battle royal between the contesting
forces of the professional element, with
neither side obtaining much of an ad-
vantage at any time during the session.
The ebb and flow of supremacy on either
side was about equally divided until
around midday when the general market
showed signs of slipping off all along
the line.
There was little sembance Of yester
days buoyancy when business was re-
sumed this morning. In place of the
exciting rising quotations, confusing
changes were recorded at the very ir-
regular opening. General Electric lost
Petroleum, United States Rubber and
Retail Stores forfeited l point each.
This was Offset by gains of l to 1Ih
points for Northern Pacific, Louisville
Nashville. General Motors and Pan
American Petroleum.
The uncertain price movement CON
tinued throughout the forenoon, which
was accompanied by perceptiblc
steady diminishing dealings. Cruciblc
Steel was the most unstable feature,
after opening 21a points higher at POS.
reacted to 2041a, then rallied to 206.
Similar tendencies were displayed by
the motor group and the equipments.
The railroads lost some of their recent
strength, but the group, as a whole, put
up much more resistance than the in
dustrials.
During the noon hour, when indus
trials and shippings were being freely
sold. the railway list was again taken
in hand. Secondary rails were in greater
demand than representative shares at
gains of 1 to points, although the
investment group was featured by
4 point gain in Canadian Pacific.
Trading in the later dealings derived
most of it's impetus from the further
advance of rails, industrials and special
ties also improving materially. The
closing, was strong.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET

New York. Feb. 10.--Thc market
for coffee futures was irregular at the
start. with December 4 points higher,
while other positions were 3 to 6 points
lower. There seemed to be little scat
tered liquidation by trade interests. al
though business was not particularly
active.
Offerings were readily absorbed on
the opening decline, owing to the
strength of the Rio market as reflected
in the early cables, and prices later
advanced on renewed covering. There
was also some buying by houses with
Brazilian connections on the bulge,
which carried May contracts up TO
14.7I, or o points net higher and into
new high ground for the movement.
Other months sold about 6 to 10
points above last nights closing figures
and private cable was received here
stating that the Rio market was up $50
