NASH STOCK DROPS
OND|W|DEND ACTION
Other Motor Shares General
" L0Wer-RaiIS Are IT.
regular Today.
BY STUART p. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The star

SpeClaI DlSpdJCH 10 1AG otdt
NEW YORK, January 11.-Wal
Street professed to be disappointed to
dav over the Nash Motor dividend
action. Putting the stock on reg
ular 81 basis, as against the previous
So. was not what had been expected.
some thought that the rate would be
81, others that s. payment would
be authorized without anything said
regarding periodicity.
Nash stocks broke almost points
nj the outset, but quickly stcadied
The readiness with which offerings
~ the recent speculative following
were absorbed was a tribute TO the
splendid showing made in the annual
report. Nash earned last year $3.50
a share. against S. the year before,
and it had on hand in cash and Gov
eminent securities S36.642 600. In
view of this extraordinary showing
the dividend decision was regarded as
being very conservative.
Other motor shares were generally
lower-stocks like General Motors,
WHY'S Overland. du Pont and Stude-
baker. The market in general seems
TO have lost what little force there
had been ON the buying side in the
latter half of last week
Railway shares were irregular, NOV
ing within a narrow range without
getting anywhere one way or the
other. Ii was hard for many to under
stand why Union Pacific should be so
far behind other stocks of its class
on the basis of income yield. Reading
struggled up a half point or SO to-
day, then fell back. Pennsylvania
made Il new high on the moves at
575s. Shares of the Northern roads
like Great Northern preferred and
Northern Pacific were holding most of
their recent gains, but doing little
more Bangor and Aroostook went up
ON the strength of the fact that ii
returns over per cent on the $50 par
stock and is earning its dividend twice
over.
United States Steel. during the
greater part of the time, was not
especially prominent, but two of the
independent SteelS were quite strong.
Youngstown Sheet and Tube was one
of these and Republic Iron and Steel
the other. Crucible and Bethlehem
were doing little.
Another upturn occurred in the
high priced Commercial Solvents b,
which had shot forward nearly 8
points yesterday. All sorts of rumors
are heard in connection with this
movement, but the Street likes to
talk about the possibility of higher
prices rather than to discuss what
these will be based upon.
United States Industrial Alcohol
was a strong feature and Wick Chem
ical, on a larger turnover, made
new high for 1927
But as an illustration of the narrow
ness of the market, other industrial
stocks of the swiftly moving type
were contenting themselves with
fluctuations of a half a point or so.

ALASKA HAS MARKINGS SILK
 STOCKING INDUSTRY

Making silk stockings from spruce logs has now become a re- gular Swedish industry. An exhib it at the Vermland Fair showed how the transformation is made.
 The Billerud Works, which pro duces lumber, pulp, paper and hy. dro-electric power, as we'll as arti- fcial silk, had an exhibit showing how logs are cut, f1oated to sul- phate mill and there turned into fluffy white wads which are later spun and woven into stockings. scarves and other delicate feminine wearing apparel.
 The Swedish artificial silk indus try is now doing good business at Kyrkebyn, where 125,OOO cubic me- ters are yearly turned into cellu- lose an dlater into silk, 25,0OO tons of which are exported yearly.
 With pulp mills aborning usually about the time the Alaska Legisla- ture is in session, Thomas Bay pulp project a ''sure thing" for the past decade, and with this new idea of making Swedish silk" out of sitka spruce, Petersburg ought to be right in the swim with its billions of fine spruce, natural sulphides and water power.
