.GYPSUM'SBREAK
IS CURB FEATURE
Selected SpeciaIties and Pool
Favorites Continue Nov
ing Upward.
BY WILLIAM F.. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 10.--Sever-
al sharp declines intermingled with
further price appreciation in the Sc
lected specialties and pool favorites
made up the outstanding incidents
in today's curb market trading.
The movement of particular In.
terest was the abrupt break in U S.
Gypsum common. Dropping below 80.
1t established a new low for the year
around SO, where the price compared
with Wednesdays final of 80. Heavy
selling followed the action of directors
in declaring an extra dividend OF $l
a share on the common and the regu.
lar quarterly 40 cents. This was taken
as distinctly disappointing in view of
the past liberal dividend policy Of the
directorate. A year ago. in addition
to declaring an extra dividend of $1.40
III cash, an extra of 35 per cent was
declared in stock.
Gold Seal Electric was another
special object of attack, breaking
from 21H to II on heavy turnover.
Inasmuch as dividends are paid at
the annual rate of only Is cents a
share, the fact that the stock had
market value practically twice what
1t was early in the year was taken
as indicating that speculation for the
rise had overdiscounted what inn
provement might have taken place in
earnings.
But while these issues were under
pronounced pressure new high rec
ords were being established else
where Vacuum Oil was a case in
point, reaching a new top above 13S.
Those usually conservative in their
calculations concerning market val
ues expressed the opinion that even
if the much talked of 100 per cent
stock dividend is declared and the
new shares are placed on So divi.
dend basis. Vacuum stock at current
prices was high enough. This would
mean approximately 500 a share for
q SO dividend payer. Others pointed
out that Standard Oil stocks and
bank stocks usually sell on a basis
to yield from to 5 per cent. This
would mean yield of more than
per cent for vacuum share owners.
Illinois Pipe Line. another issue
offering prospects for special stock
distributions. went forward into new
high ground. Alabama and Great
Southern sold at its highest in re-
sponse to declaration of an extra
dividend of S1.50 a share in addition
to the regular semi-annual $1.75 on
the preferred and common. The mar
ket for Kemsley- Millbourn stock and
bonds continued strong at new high
prices, rejecting the improved earn
ings outlook.
