6tudebaker Pool.

The report that the two pools op-
Grating in Studebaker have been con-
solidated In found In very reliable
circles. However. no immediate up
ward move is expected in the stock.
The Treason cited by one broker is
that "the fireworks in Gulf States
Steel has put q damper on all bull
pool operations for the present. The
effects of the Gulf States Steel fiasco
must first be forgotten" The trouble
with a sudden rise and q subsequently,
sharp break, such as experienced In
Gulf States. is that 80 few make
money and so many lose. The small
traders follow and are buying while
the big insiders are selling. Naturally
other pool managers wish the Ill feel
ing created to abate before continuing
their efforts. However, those inter
ested In Studebaker have circulated
at times several unjustified reports.
Those who pick up Studebaker on
reactions and are able to hold usually
profit. Those who try for q quick
turn usually play into the pools
hands. p.

profits were set aside as sinking fund.

A start was made BY buying Out a

ers would have lost had their shipping
been done as usual through privately
owned elevators.
Dividends are paid according to the
amount Of business done with the com
pany. | was told BY the president Of

year many members got back as much
money as they put into the company
and some even got more.

for now their shelves are not well-stock-

you see but few people trading in their
stores.
The farmer boys have made good in
Cedarvale. Their produce is brought
and sold in carload lots. Prices and
quality are better than they used to
be. The membership of this co-opera-
tive movement has grown to be five

every meeting. To the store an eleya-
