American Locomotive. came on rather
easily.
The automobile shares went down
in sympathy with the heavy selling
of General Motors, which persisted.
DESPITE the fact that the passing of
the dividend had been fully expected
The reaction at length became fairly
general, although outside OF Few
stocks there was no important weak
ness.
Sentiment was somewhat unsettled
by the passing, first of the Kelly
l'Springfield and then the General
Motors dividends, which inevitably
set going a flood of rumors regarding
the possibility of similar action IN
other cases The selling in General
Asphalt, which was one Of the fea-
lures of the day. came directly on the
heels of a story that the preferred
dividend was in danger.
Steel Merger n Feature.
The impending merger of the inde-
pendent steel companies was the big
thing in the market today. Not only
were the stocks Immediately concerned
in demand. but their advance led to
general upbidding for time of the So
called junior steels. There was little
to be said that was at all new in con-
nection with the steel combination, ex-
cept that those who would be likely
to know, declared that the negotiations
are much nearer to a conclusion than
is commonly suspected.
The main point to be made in the case
of stocks like Mfdvale. Lackawanna and
Republic is that these companies piled
up great surpluses during the war and
the postwar period. and the losses Of
1921 have only reduced these- accunu-
lations to a comparatively small extent
Midvale was the leader of the steel
group. 1t was in this stock that the
buying first showed which afterward
spread to the rest Of the related shares.
The reasons for the prominence Of Mid
vale is that according to expert calcula-
tions founded upon its surplus, 1t has
larger possibilities of increased 'valua-
tion in q merger than any other Of ths
