MARKET SUFFERED

New York. May 20.--The tendency Of

while, on the other hand. the rallying
power was still very feeble.
Much Of the softness Of the market
was due to recurrence of dividend
chills, as the increasing evidence of so
many dividends being in jeopardy mas
created quite naturally a widespread
apprehension on this score. Overnight
advices told Of the passing Of the Amer
ican Linseed dividend, while at midday
came the news that the Chesapeake ana
Ohio directors had deferred the SEMI
annual dividend on that stock, although
action of that kind had been partly
forecast by the similar policy adopted
by the Hooking Valley directors yester
day. This consequently brought into
question the safety Of dividends Of many
other concerns which can now easily be
included in the category Of uncertainty
Prices started to run off at the very
outset. although there was some hope OF
week end technical rally. but the
opening operations disclosed there were
still many more sellers than buyers in
