STOCKS
Regular Dividend of 7 Per
Cent Voted on Preferred
Stock; Is Widely Held Here

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. /.
Regular dividend on the seven
per cent participating class A
stock of Hearst Consolidated
Publications, Inc, has been de-
clared by the board of directors.
This dividend amounts to IA
per cent, or, at the rate of 7
per cent annually.
At the same time the regular
dividend of 43A cents a share
was declared on the common
stock of the company. The
books will be closed on Decem,
Der /, and checks will be mailed
to reach stockholders on the fif,
teenth. AS the per cent par
ticipating class A stock is wide,
ly held by individuals in all
parts of the United States, this
action of the board of directors
will make available just before
Christmas to a widely scattered
group, a considerable sum of
money.
It is the second dividend to be
paid on this stock, as Hearst Con-
solidated Publications, Inc, was
formed in the early part of 1880
to take over and consolidate ten
of the largest and most profitable
of the daily newspapers controlled
by William Randolph Hearst. In
addition, the group includes the
American News Print Company
and the American Weekly. Sun
day magazine section with the
greatest circulation Of any period
ical in the world.
Offering Well Received
At the time of incorporation a
plan of customer-employe owner
ship through the 7 per cent par,
ticipating stock was decided upon
and following that plan this issue
was offered to the public through
the various newspaper enterprises
of Mr.. Hearst in all parts Of the
United States. Knowing the his
tory of successful and profitable
operations of these newspapers
the public was quick to acclaim
this plan and to subscribe for the
stock in large blocks.
The small investor, however,
who desired to create a fund Tor
himself by investing SIN all
amounts regularly in a company
with whose history he was famil-
lar was not provided for. In Sep,
tember, therefore, the board OF
directors agreed to allow those
who so desired to purchase the
7 per cent stock on the partial
payment plan. This action, &C
cording to officials of the COM
pany, has served not only to
increase tremendously the num-
Der of stockholders but to encour-
age the Salaried man to save a
portion of his salary regularly
and thus build for himself a re-
serve fund.
Record Of Profits
While the earnings report for
1890 will not be available until
after the turn of the year, it is
indicated that net this year is
holding up well despite generally
quiet conditions in many lines of
industry.
Hearst Consolidated Publica-
tions, Inc, has maintained a
steady record of profits which for
the last four years has shown an
average of over $11,000,000
earned annually, or 3.14 times
the dividend requirements on the
full amount of 7 per cent par
ticipating class A stock to be
presently outstanding. In 1929
the total gross circulation and
advertising revenue amounted to
nver SRS 000 nm and over 1d2

MARKET MAY
BEOVERSOLD,
IS BELIEF
Experts Say Signs Show Price
Trend Has Been Turned
Downward Long Enough
BY THE SPECTATOR


Looks as though the bears
are beginning to tread on
each others toes a little.
Stocks acted somewhat
oversold late Friday and on
Saturday, accounting for
the rally.
Yet few believe the market
will get very far either way
before the end of the year,
and for this reason there
is no rush about getting
into the market until desir-
able opportunities present
themselves.
The Washington times., 1930-12-01
Shorts Worrying

The way Auburn anG Worthing
ton Pump, to name two, are
jumping around would indicate
an overcrowded and uneasy short
interest. 1t will be interesting
to see where Bethlehem meets
support this time. Inside buying
came in under so on the last
break. Collins and Aikmann is
said to be rushed on automobile
orders. I understand it is be-
ginning to look as though Mack
Trucks would have to cut the
dividend. The stock has already
discounted this at current prices.
The Freeport Texas dividend is
another that seems in for trim
ming. They are talking of either
an extra or higher dividend for
Woolworth at the January meet
ing.
The Washington times., 1930-12-01
Bears are Short

There is little doubt that the
market now harbors the biggest
short interest in several weeks
Stocks have been sold pretty
freely all week, and some of she
biggest bears are known to have
put out extensive lines.
The film stocks especially have
been under considerable pressure
and the most active in this group
is said to have short interest
of we'll over 100000 shares, with
one big operator alone reported
short of $4,000 shares. This may
start some fun if the powers-that
be decided to put the screws" on
A substantial short interest Is q
good sign, for it improves the
markets technical position AND
provides a spring g-board for a good
rally when the time arrives.
Perhaps there will be more
stories, therefore, before long
emanating from the bear camp
of situations" and trouble" Yet
. it would seem that gossip Of this
type is beginning to lose its sting
One such story recently involved
National Biscuit, and when in
siders were asked about block
of $4,000 shares supposedly over
hanging the market, they replied
''Well, why don't they throw it on
the market? There'll be buyers"
Rails Try Rally
tt is both encouraging and
constructive that the rails are
taking definite steps to improve
their position and regain some OF
their transportation losses through
legislation, mergers and other
means. 1t must not be forgotten
that the railroads are the ma
tion's biggest taxpayers, and their
losses have far-reaching effects.
It is also apropos at this time
when railroad stocks are being
kicked on all sides in the oper
market, that the carriers are
well-heele., with cash. Which
means that they can get foot
hold in competitive transporta
tion systems without pinchine
themselves unduly, and I under
stand some of this is already
taking place market-wise.
Illinois Central, one of the
rock-ribbed railroads, will carr
about $28,313,479 for the year
it is estimated, or just above the
income required by New Yorl
State to make the roads bond!
legal for savings banks. Earn
ings decline this year explain!
the common stocks weakness
currently selling at the lowest
level in number of years. Bank
selling, as pointed out here, j!
said to be a big factor in the
weakness of the best railroad
stocks.
Food Firm Gains
The dividend cut to $1.20 from
$3.50 clears the atmosphere fo1
Standard Brands. It is probable
that the company will cover .th'
new rate for the year. At wors
IL SnOulQ Iall O1lly lew CC4ACi
under, as net for the nine months
was 88 cents share, and sale
recently have shown an upwart
trend. Standard Brands ism
doing badly when you considel
the problems involved in an!
consolidation of its size. Th'
company should do better con
sistently from now on. TIE cast
position is strong. The stock il
being absorbed steadily for Ions
pull account.
Bonds continue sluggish anc
weak. indicating further liqui
dation by interior banks inciden'
to the recent failures. The ole
theory that a bond market mus
develop before stocks can ge'
very far on the upside may still
hold good. but it must be ad
mitted that the current situation
is a bit different.

West contest was contained IN the late
innings. In the first part Of the match
Bayl0f's ability to ring almost at Will

gain a commanding lead. The score Ct

leading, Baylor thrilled the gallery with
an avalanche Of threeApoifitefs which
soon brought the count up to 48 all.
Perhaps the most exciting moment
came when Baylor pitched 4 double to
bring his score TO 81. But West, dem
oflstfating to the enthusiastic gallery
that his consistent ringing was not q
huke, pitched his second shoe on Bay
lor's double,
Had he failed In this pinch, Baylor,
already with As points, would have gone
