HAzLETT'S REVIEW

Howard Hazlett & Son. in their
weekly review Of the Wheeling stock
market, on Friday. said:
There were no events whatsoever to
interest the stock market this week,
and the natural result WAS that prices
moved in a very perfunctory manner
and the volume OF sales was light. AS
usual, Wheeling Steel common was
tho leader in the sales. This issue is
enjoying ready market at current
prices. but shows very little inclina-
ton TO advance. This situation will
remain unchanged, no doubt, until the
general public shall have been con-
WINGED that business is improving ev-
erywhere and stocks may be bought
without fear OF further serious de-
clines.
lt must be said in Wheeling Steers
favor that il appears to be doing bet
ter than any Of the independents, with
perhaps the single exception OF Beth
lehem, which never has ceased TO
make money Operations are on a
profits are by no means rich.
Two events can occur TO relieve
this situation. One IS reduction OF
freight rates and the other is a rea-
sonable and general downward revf
sion OF wages.
The public here Is turning its atten'
ton to the approaching meeting OF
the Wheeling Steel Corporation board
on June 90. at which time the common
stock cash dividend will be up for
consideration. We have not a notion
whether 1t will be paid or passed. II
It Is passed. and yet business rs
whole is no worse. we do not look for
much Of decline in the price OF the
stock And if it is paid, the stock Will
probably advance moderately.
The whole local list OF stocks has
had a good shake-out. and for the most
part can be bought with perfect safe
tv at current prices. The buyer may
have TO wait for his profits, but they
are coming just rs certainly az the
sun will rise tomorrow.
Upon the whole We see no reason for
changing our frequently expressed
view that the man who is willing to
take his chances on the possible pass
ing of immediate dividends. and will
hold on TO his stocks, will surely make
handsome profit when times shall
have improved.
