SEN. NEwBERRY QUITS

The resignation of Senator Tru-
man H. Newbery, of Michigan, the
central figure in a long and bitter
senate controversy, became effective
Tuesday.
Vice President Calvin Coolidge was
unable at Mondays brief session to
present Senator Newberry's letter Of
resignation and the Michigan sena-
tors name remained temporarily on
the rolls.
Forwarded to Governor Grosebeck
of that state under date Of November
1S, the letter Of resignation request
ing that it become effective immedi-
ately was made public Monday after
copy had been transmitted to Vice
President Coolidge with the request
that it be read into the senate record
as soon as possible. y
] Although declaring in review Of
the long and bitter controversy over
his right to a place in the senate
since his election over Henry Ford,
his democratic opponent four years
ago, that this right has been "fully
confirmed" Mr.. Newberry in his let
ter said he had been impelled to
retire from that body because of the
defeat of his republican colleague,
Senator Townsend, in the November
z election.
| At the same time in discussing the
controversy in its relation to the
campaign just closed during which it
was an issue in many states, Mr..
Newberry expressed the conviction
that a fair, analysis Of the vote in
Michigan and other states where
friends and political enemies alike
have suffered defeat will demonstrate
that a general feeling Of unrest was
mainly responsible.
The present situation he said, "ren.
dered futile" his further service in
|the senate since it meant he would
continue to be hampered by partisan
political persecution. J" s.,:: 4 3sg: .:at Z
Sh0Gld future opportunities pre-
sent themselves he would not hesi-
tate to offer himself to his state and
country he said.

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

Conservative investors are still try
ing to find standard issues that will
yield them per cent on the purchase
price. Because Of the sharp advances
In recent months considerable difficulty
is experienced in finding such issues.
Naturally those still yielding that rate
OF return are in particularly active
demand.
Although the return on all Of the
Liberty issues has been far below the
5 per cent level for long time. ultra.
conservative investors have bought
them on large scale. believing first
and last there is nothing better in the
American market into which to put
their money. All Of these issues have
gone higher, although there have been
fractional reactions Of brief duration.
Many investment houses when asked
by investors who are giving preference
to security over the rate Of return are
advising the purchase of these issues.
They point out whatever bad condi.
tions may become in this country in
the next few years nothing better can
be found in the way Of an investment.
IF Liberty Bonds are not good these
bankers suggest no security In this
country or any other country Is safe.

United Cigar Stores Dividend

In declaring n dividend Of 2 per cent
or tire common stock, the directors OF
the United Cigar Stores Company made
the first distribution since last Novem-
Der. when per cent was paid. No
regular dividend policy was pursued In
1921, but monthly distributions were
made. ranging from 1 to 2 per cent.
making a total Of 1871 per cent for that
year. The common Is now on regular
3 per cent dividend basis. and It is ex-
pected extras will be declared from
time to time.
According to the statement Of James
NJ. Dixon. president Of the Tobacco
Products Corporation, sufficient stock
had been deposited to assure success of
the plan for absorption Of the United
Retail Stores Corporation by the To-
bacco Products Corporation, and with
the restoration Of dividends on United
Cigar Stores common, 1t was the inten-
tion Of the management to place the
new Tobacco Products Class "a"
stock on per cent basis this fall.

Fewer Holders Of Pennsy

Fewer Holders Of Pennsy
While the trading in the stock has
been heavier than for some time. for
the fourth consecutive month the num-
bSr of shareholders of the Pennsylvania
Railroad was reduced during June. The
total on July 1 stood at 130. .S2S. or
1247 fewer than on the correspondi'<'
date Of a year ago. The record ntmbct
Of shareholders was reported March
ut 141 .O21, and in the four months
since then the number declined 2O93.
Correspondence, average holdings Is
showing slight increase. the average OH
July being II Al. as against the low
point on March 1 Mt 70.36 shares. This
would seemingly indicate many OF the
former large holders were taking back
their stock sold on the exaggerated
rumors concerning the dividend policy.
The stock Is selling nearly S12 share
above the low mark this year. and the
recent advance was Influenced to large
extent by the expectation Of an early
restoration of the long established @
per cent dividend rate. Another con.
tributing influence was the success OF
the management In establishing hnrmo-
NOUS relations with it's employees in the
midst of the strife and turmoil prevail
ing in the ranks of railroad labor.
Weakness Of Pierce. Arrow Issues
A number Of factors are held re-
sronsible for the conspicuous weakness
Of the Pierce Arrow stocks. which yes
tcrday. under heavy liQuidating pres
sure. established new low records. the
common touching 8. a drop Of 1874
points from the high Of the year, while
the preferred reached 1874. compared
with the years high Of 40. Reports
Of refinancing, reorganization, have
been popularity held responsible for the
slump. A new theory, however. was
advanced yesterday In nssociating the
weakness and heavy liquidation with
the Allan A. Ryan failure. According
TO this story. a large block of the stock
as part of the collateral in n big loan
held by one of the financial institu-
tions was being dumped on the market.
American Sugar Refining
The paradox of stock selling higher
without paying dividend than 1t did
when making regular distributions Of
surplus earnings Is n frequent occur.
ence in the stock market. American
Sugar Refining Company stock fur
nishcs a striking exempliication at the
moment. 1t made new top for the
year in yesterdays market Mt S1N,
against low last year of ATM, when
quarterly dividends Of 1A per cent were
being made. The company paid Z per
cent dividend year without inter-
ruption from 1900 to last December.
when the quarterly dividend was passed.
making 5A per cent paid for that year.
The extraordinary comeback of the
sugar trade from state of virtual pros.
tration last December is, of course, re.
sponsible for the remarkable recovery.
but assumptions of dividends do not
appear to be yet in sight. In addition
to the regular per cent dividend. 3 per
cent extra was declared in 1920 and
1910. and ~ per cent extra in 1918.
Sorrowful misjudgment of trade condi.
tions entailed tremendous losses and
forced the suspension of dividend nav.
