NEW YORK. November 1.-THE
curb market today displayed the same
characteristics it had on previous days
Of the week, with the important
changes taking place on the side OF
rising prices. The element favoring
higher levels had the additional In
centive of the favorable dividend ac-
ton taken by General Motors upon
which to base it's operations, ana IL
acted accordingly. New high records
were marked up in a number OF IN
stances, but so far as encouraging
general outside participation in the
main body Of stocks, they failed OF
this purpose.
Among the oils Vacuum stood out
as the favorite and was bid up more
than points to new high recoIh.
The incentive here, of course, was the
prospect of early distribution or part
of the company's huge surplus, "hlrn
is expected to take the form of a 100
per cent stock dividend. with the new
shares carrying a 50 dividend.
Dividend Discounted.
The new high record established
last week in Indiana Pipe Line ap-
parently had discounted the decla-
ration of n special dividend of $l3,
which is to be paid out of surplus, and
the stock was up only slightly to with

There was only one CONCLUSION 10 be
drawn from the persistent demand at
new high prices for Deere common.
and that was that when directors meet
again the stock will be placed on an
attractive dividend basis. Improved
earnings was the main incentive for
the continued advance in kemsley
Millbourn common, which also reach
ed it's best and carried with it the con-
vertible bonds.

of United States Gypsum. compared
