In a period Of marked uncer.

at present, the trader will find it
advisable to limit commitments
to such recognized market leaders
which ordinarily are watched for
the trend Of the market in gen

The first quarter earnings Of
this company gave it the enviable
distinction of joining the select
list Of stocks which have shown
increased earnings over the cor
responding period Of last year.
Earnings per common share were
close to 81 per share. Another
factor in its favor was the report
of untitled orders on hand, which
showed the total as of March 81
to be $15,570, 1866, against $12,872.-
