General Motors.

Two interpretations We're placed yes
teraay on the action or the General
Motors Corporation in postponing the
date of its dividend meeting. The first
was that there was division OF opinion
among its directors as to whether or
not the dividend should be paid and
the second that the company must
liquidate more of its inventories before
finally deciding to pay the dividend.
Nothing was forthcoming from official
quarters to bear out either OF those
theories, but traders were inclined to
construe the news unfavorably just the
same and the stock Of the company was
pretty heavily sold most of the day
after the announcement Of the postpone
ment was made.
