ONE STOCK BIDLESS,,
ANOTHER ALMOST SO
Unusual Situation in Exchange
Involves Cuba Cane Pfd
end Pierce Oil Pfd.

A rare situation existed yesterday In
two stocks on the New York Stock Ex-
change--in one instance not q single bid
in the market and in the other one bid
for 100 shares almost 80 points below
the last sale. In Cuba Cane Sugar pre-
ferred the announcement Of the passing
of the dividend resulted in a precipitate
drop OF more than 10 points between
sales. and in Pierce oil preferred a break
OF Is points occurred without par
ticular reason.
During the morning there was little
trading in Cuba Cane preferred when
suddenly a specialist got an order to
sell 1000 shares at the market Bids
were few and he disposed of only about
half when another order to sell 1000
shares came in, leaving him with 5000
shares to sell while the only order on
his book was stop-loss order to sell LOO
shares at AZ.
= To keep the market from breaking
wide open and to prevent a drop of 80
to 40 points the specialist took all orders
and punched them. in the meantime ex-
erting himself to find buyers. He sue
ceeded in persuading q number Of floor
traders to take n large portion of the
stock at 40. after which 1t sold UP
slowly to a closing mark of 42%. AS
director had asserted there would be no
change In the disbursement the passing
Of the dividend came as o surprise.
The first order for Pierce Oil pre-
ferred brought out that there was no bid
within about so points of Thursdays
closing price AS d result this order
was finally disposed of at 55. drop OF
Il points. Later rallies brought it back
tc GO, and at its close of SO the stock
Tad lost 10 points on the day.
Eben Richards, vice-president OF the
company. declared there was no reason
for the break. Earnings in 1920 were
$4,000 600, OF which 100000 was writ
ten off for Inventories, while 1921 earn
ings will be between S3.e00,000 and
$4,000.000, he said. The company owes
$1.750,00 to banks and Is making ar
rangements for a $6.0oo,0o0 long term
note issue. TIE regular preferred divi-
Gend will be paid on July /. Mr.. Rich

More Dividends Passed.

Yesterdays quota of daily adverse
dividend announcements consisted Of
two preferred dividends passed and one
common dividend reduced. The pay
ments on the preferred stocks of the
Cuba Cane Sugar Corporation and the
Armour Leather Company were passed,
and the directors of the international
Harvester Company reduced its cash dis
bursement. The passing Of the Cuba
Cane preferred stock dividend OF III per
sent represents the first interruption of
disbursements on that issue since the
initial dividend on 1t in 1916. The rea-
son assigned was "the present condition
of the sugar market" The Armour
Leather Company's preferred stock divi-
dend, also of Ia per cent. was passed
by its directors without any statement.
The International Harvester Company S
directors declared a quarterly dividend
of $1.25 cash and . per cent. In stock, in
contrast to it's previous quarterly pay

The Hill Roads.

Wall Street observers found scant en-
couragement for continuance OF tho I
per cent. dividend rates on Great North
ern and Northern Pacific stocks in the
earnings of those companies for April.
The former showed q net operating
deficit for the month of s6S.2J9. while
Northern Pacific reported net operating
income of only s43,564. 1t was pointed
out In one quarter, however. that the
Burlington directors declared the re-
cent per cent. dividend on that COM
pany's increased capitalization with the
April report showing operating income
of only $1,23s.S03, the smallest reported
this year. indicating that the board
found justification for the action In the
trend OF fundamental business condl-
tions and prospective earning power
before them. 1t Is considered entirely
possible that the directors of Great
Northern and Northern Pacific may
employ the same reasoning at meetings
due about the middle OF this month.

in the New York Stock Exchange at

found that several millions OF funds
went unloaned. The surplus money
came from country banks, naturally
attracted by the prevailing high rates.
No adequate explanation for the money

withdrawal to an extremely low point

the continuation Of frozen credit. little

that every New York industry under his

OF Improvement, and asserted that the
low point had been passed. Practically
all of the fundamental difficulties" he
said. ARE being cleared away, and in
addition there is rapidly growing con-
fidence in the Administration. 1t Is inn
possible to find really threatening
cloud on The horizon. A speeding up
OF industry is inevitable. No abrupt
improvement can be looked for. but a
gradual acceleration of all kinds of ac-
tivity will occur until all hands should
b. busy by the first of the year"

PROHIBITION CREATES DE-
MAND FOR HOME MUSIC

According to the annual report of
an association composed of the mu-
steal instrument manufacturers and
tradesmen, Prohibition has favorably
affected the sale of musical instru-
ments. 1t seems to be an established
fact that since the country went dry
the buying public has turned toward
the stimulus of music with greater
enthusiasm than before. Perhaps the
most marked and direct effect of Pro-
hibition on the music trade is shown
in the vast number Of saloons which
have been transformed into music
stores. According to the report
there are an astonishing number of
Instances where musical instruments,
records. rolls and sheet music have
supplanted the old brass footrail.-
