GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

The weaker strata Of the market con.
tinues in the industrial division. The
most vulnerable spots arc still found
in those groups Of industrials whose
products have become drugs on the
market because Of heavy accommodations
of unsOld merchandise in the various"
lines which figure in the inventories OF
these companies in large amounts and
or which almost the entire purchase
price and pcrfecting cost has been lost
II is hard to comprehend that well
seasoned companies like the United
States Food Products. United states
Industrial Alcohol aud tho various
sugar. refining companies together with
the motor concerns and accessories
should have the rich fruit of several
preceding years 80 suddenly turn into
Dead Sea apples that crumblc into dust
ut touch. The situation has become so
general in this respect that when diVi-
dcnd meetings are held suspensions .o'
distributions on shares are looked lo'
as q matter Of course. Where d.vi'
dcnds arc maintained. at established
rates. tho action is looked on as rec
letter event.
