New York, July S.-A familiar
process was witnessed on the stock
exchange when sharp reactions in
prices took place, mainly because OF
unsettlement caused by the passing
of dividends. The action of the d.
rectors OF the United States Rub
Der company, in eliminating the COM
mon dividend altogether was some
thing of an unpleasant surprise and
the passing of the dividend on Fisk
Rubber company, first preferred,
came as another forceful indication
of industrial depression. Had the
announcements came before the rise
early this week, it is possible that
the word would have passed without
any pronounced reflection in the run
of prices. The street was becoming
hardened to such Developments.
Dividend Expected.
There had been some reports that the
dividend on United States Rubber was
in danger. but the majority opinion was
in expectation OF reduction to 81 year
annual basis. This news did not come
out early enough on Thursday TO be an
the opening today selling was in evidence
and continued throughout the day. Not
only did the industrials decline, but the
rails too, gave way, although to less
pronounced extent.
The government crop report of July
/, shows sharp depreciation in condition
of spring and winter wheat. but indications
of record crop, the condition being bet
ter than on any July ! in the last 20
years.
Further evidence of the stagnation from
which the steel industry is suffering
came to hand in the figures on steel In
got production. compiled by the Amer
lean Iron and Steel institute. The out
put in June amounted to only 1905, ,4oe
tons. as compared with l,2s5.85o tons in
May. The June production is lower than
for any preceding month this year and
less than half Of the production in any
month of 1920. June production was at
the annual rate Of 14160,00o tons for the
little change in conditions during the last
OF capacity. Last year production reached
40,sSl,392 tons.
Reports of the mercantile agencies show
little change in conditions during the past |
week. A generally quiet situation prevails |
with some slight improvement In retail |
lines. but with continued dullness In the |
primary markets.
