Readings Decline.

The break Of Reading to a new low
for the year emphasizes the Wall Street
opinion that any distribution which re-
quires payment for shares issued is
nothing more or less than an assess
ment on shareholders. There are any
number of people who will never be
convinced that, as shareholders of the
Southern Pacific and shareholders of
the Reading, they did not own what they
are asked to pay cash to get. Reading
has been under liquidation by folks
who have held that view ever since the
plan was announced. In one quarter 1t
was said yesterday that there was no
short interest in the stock, that the mar
ket was very thin and that there was
yesterday almost an absence Of any sort
Of buying power for the stock.

Discounting the Inauguration.

A great many traders hold that as
the inauguration OF a new President is
cause for jubilation and that quietus
has been put on much Of an Inaugural
ton celebration in Washington, that
Wall Street viii be selected as the place
where the fireworks will be shot off.
II look for some sort of a market
demonstration to accompany the'inaugu-
ration" said a big trader yesterday.
Usually we have this celebration at
the time of the celebration. You will re-
member that the election did not halt
the downward slump. II certainly will
be entirely without precedent IL the mar
ket does not show some sort of recog-
milton OF the fact that the Administra-
ton has changed"

United Cigar stores.

The United Cigar Stores Company
opened 1862 new stores in 1920. which
accounts to a large extent for the fact
that its earnings did not show the usual
Increase. The opening and operation OF
those new stores naturally set the COM
pany back and no opportunity has been
given them to hit the stride that the
other and older stores have attained. IL
Is expected that United Cigars will open
no new stores In 1921, but will content
itself with building up q larger volume
Of business In those now open.
