large distributions in stock have been
awarded share owners. Standard of
| New York distributed approximately
| $72, 5000 AS Ell % per cent stock
dividend. Standard Oil of Nebraska
| gave 81 100000 as a so per cent stock
dividend. Subscription privileges were
granted ShareoWnerS OF the Humble
Oil & Refining Co. and Standard Oil
| of New Jersey carrying the right to
| purchase at par 662s per cent and
| 162a per cent, respectively, of their
/ holdings. These increases in capital
| stock explain in large part the in
crease in the total paid in cash dis
tributionS, but increased dividend

swelled the total.
Payments in the fourth quarter ex-
ceeded those of the third by SIG, A00,-

duStrial and commercial enterprise
save the railroads. OF which there are
but few. Therefore, it has been
natural that price movements
throughout the year have been sim.
liar to those on the Stock Exchange
and have been governed by the same
influences.
The money situation played but a
minor part in the speculation. There
was an abundant supply of funds
available for Wall Street purposes,
and ut no time did the Federal Re.
serve find it necessary to exert its
influence. 1t would appear that the
movement of prices has been gov.
erned chiefly by developments in the
industrial situation itself. as they
related to individual industries.
The Oil Shares.
Because OF the large number Cf oil
shares dealt in in this market. they
are to be ranked as the group which
holds most public interest. Standard
Oil subsidiaries, since the dissolution
of the parent company IS years ago,
with few exceptions have maintained
their market on the Curb. Standard
Oil Co. OF New York, was the latest
to he transferred to the New York
Stock Exchange, Familiarity known as
the Big Board. 1t seems reasonable
to assume. however, that the market
for the remaining so-called Standard
issues will continue to be the Curb.
The close of the year finds the oil
shares in many instances down sub
stantially from the high prices estab
lished late in 1925, but with the out
look for the immediate future brighter
than it has appeared at any period
during the year.
Despite all this, oil companies Of
the better grade report net income
and profits in excess of those for
1925. When distribution has been
completed cash dividends of the
Standard Oil group for the fun year
will amount to $500 ,263 ,594. the larg-
est annual payment since the Stand
ard Oil Of New Jersey dissolution, and
in excess of 1925 disbursements by
SAG, 757 ,495 Dividends payable in the
fourth quarter, and included in this
total, amounted to S62 .621 ,54S, the
largest of any single quarter, and ex-
ceeded by more than $4,000, 900 pay
ments made during 1912, the first
year after the dissolution of the
parent company.
In addition To the cash payments,

J considerably below those established

/ Electric Refrigerator Stocks.
| In many respects conditions which
confronted the electric refrigeration
! industry We're similar TO those ex-
perienced in the radio industry during
the first few years of it's inception.
But it has been generally agreed that
the financial background of the for
mer was superior and that competi-
ton has not become keen enough for
the industry to reach the saturation
point.
Competition had to be eliminated
accomplished to a large extent by the
consolidation early in 1925 OF three
prominent manufacturers. namely the
kelvinator Corporation, Nicer Corpora
ton and Grand Rapids Refrigerator
Co. Following the combination of
what was commonly referred to at
that time as the big Three" kelvina-
tor and NiZer shares were eliminated
from trading OIL the Curb Exchange.
The close of 1926 finds the Curb
Market with only one issue of prom
inence representing this industry still
being dealt in. and with the market
for electric Refrigeration stocks here
and elsewhere sill endeavoring to seek
its proper level.
OF the various new indutries which
have their representation in Curl.
stocks, considerable attention has been
directed to consultations which have
taken place among laundry companies.
The largest consolidation of this kind
was effected in New York City through
formation of Consolidated Laundies
Corporation in the latter part of 1925
by the amalgamation of II independ-
ent units.

Motors Outlook More Favorable.

The outlook for the automobile in.
dustry is more favorably regarded at
the close of the year than it was two
or three months ago. Then there was
a good deal of talking about increasing
competition, necessitating price cut
ting and reduced profits. This proved
to be much exaggerated. y few com
panles did not make a good showing
in their semi-annual and third quarter
reports.
Mostly, however. the reduced output
at the automobile centers in the An

praised as mainly a seasonal reaction.

orders were on the increase.
