SHELLY PROFIT
GUT IN 1880

Skelly Oil Company reports
1880 net profit $1,916,871, equal
to $1.39 a share on 1,O13,262 COM
mon shares, compared with $5,-
786, 400, or 1928 a share on 1885,
581 capital shares in 1929, when
no preferred stock was outstand'
ing.
In the annual report. w. G.
Skelly, president, reviewing condi-
tionS in the oil industry, said that
persistent overproduction" in the
field had been met with earnest
efforts at curtailment by prora,
ton and otherwise, but that at
the end of 1890 prices for crude
and refined oils we're at their low
est levels since 1915. He added:
"Since the end Of the year
further declines have occurred.
This condition carries within
itself a specific, although dras-
tic cure of OverprOductiOn and
juStifies the belief that after
a corrective period the industry
will regain q more profitable
and stable footing"

DIVIDEND CUTS
To TEST OUT
MARKET
Action Today Will Go Far to
Determine Real Strength
of Constructive Elements
By THE SPECTATOR

With the entire quota of dvi-
dend cuts for the week out of
the way, the markets action to-
day will determine whether the
constructive element still possesses
sufficient power to turn the stock
list to the upside, or if Thursdays
setback is the forerunner of a
more general decline.
The present standing of the
DOw-JOnes industrial averages at
1870 represents q net loss Of
points since the upper limit of
the 1919 trading range were
pierced on Friday of last week.
Therefore on technical grounds
alone, the market should be en-
titled to some recovery at this
time.
Rally Can't Last
However, it appears doubtful
if any rally, should one develop,
can make any important progress.
There are too many industries, in
which the near term outlook is
beclouded, to warrant any en-
thusiaSm for the stocks in those
groups, as can be evidenced from
the fact that there is persistent
weakness in the oils, copperS, rails
and rubber shares.
The steel, motor and utility
groups have been showing decided
heaviness of late and efforts of
bullish interests to revive en-.
thusiasm by the process of jump
ing around from one speciality to
another appears to have lost their
influence in raising prices.
Caution Advised
Speaking strictly from a long.
term standpoint, there are any
number of stocks which can be
considered attractive at this time.
The mere fact that former divi-
dend rates have been pruned or
eliminated entirely does not in
itself carry bearish implications.
1t has always been customary to
find the heaviest list of dividend
cut taking place at the tail end
of a period of depression, and
there is sufficient data on hand
to warrant the belief that the
bottom of the present downturn
has already been seen.
For the time being, however, Q
policy of caution should prevail.

IS SOUND
IN CHEMICALS

The worldwide depression has
revealed that the immense recent
growth of the nations chemical
industry has been sound, it is
declared in an analysis of United

by the American Chemical So
ciety.
Basically, conditions are wholly
encouraging, is the report made
for Industrial and Engineering,

WilSon( Statistician, of tais city
He adds:
Chemicals have thus Jared
comparatively well in the try
ing times through which the
whole world has been passing,
and they now occupy a favor
able position for taking advan-
tage of the revival to which
the business public looks for
ward. The foreign trade figures
provide good barometer,
showing how well the industry
has weathered this prOtracted
adverSity."

imports of all commodities into

as compared with 1929, those of

foreign countries dropped 81 per

BRIGHT FUTURE
|SF0RECAST

If manufacturers expect to reap
the harvest of the return to
normal conditions it would be
wise for them to begin now
aggressive advertising and selling
campaigns, according to Arnold
W. Wetsel, economist and bust.
ness analyst. He says:
although it is not in my
province to attempt to fore
cast an immediate revival, or
by mere words hope to stimulate
a quick reversal of the trend,
nevertheless after considerable
study it is my firm conviction
that any change has to be in
the direction of improvement.
determining the future is
very largely a matter of find
ing out what is least likely to
happen and the highest degree
of accuracy in fOrecaSting is to
approach the problem from the
negative side.
I'VE must ask these ques-
tiOns: Where is further liqui-
datiOn in commodities and
stocks as well as unfavOrabIe
business and political influence
coming from? Are not COM
modify prices already far below
production costs? Have not
stocks been well liquidated in
the past IL mOnthS?"
Now, as at no time in the
past, has this country, according
to Mr.. WetSel, the weight of
elements on the side of a brighter
future. The time for sound in
VestmentS in businesses with
prospects of future growth is the
present.

GOES DOWN
BELOW 80
MCKeesport TinpIate Scores
Loss of 7 Points, While U. S.
Steel Rallies Again to 145
Ry w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, March 81 GN.SD.
A wild selling wave carried most
Of the active stocks to lower price
levels this morning.
Though not unexpected, the an
nouncement of the passing Of the
National Cash Register dividend
was greeted with an outpouring
of selling orders which carried
that stock down nearly 4 points
to 271a.
Tinpiate SlumpS
McKeesport Tinplate dipped un-
der 96, on profit.taking, for loss
of about Z points from the peak
of the week, and Westinghouse
dropped under 90.
With most of the doubtful divi-
dend actions out of the way for
a week or more, Wall Street look
ed for a better showing in the
stocks that have been under pres
sure because of dividend cuts.
Anaconda Copper sold under IA
on the accumulation of outside
selling orders, but the stock
quickly rallied.
Only slight losses we're sustained
by the utility stocks and the
good grade industrials. U. S.
Steel, in the second hour, rallied
to 145, only "a below yesterdays
closing price, and Westinghouse
held firmly around 80.
Bond Market Quiet
Price changes in the grain and
cotton markets we're narrow, lead
ing to the hope that wheat has
found itself" in relation to The
Farm Boards decision to remove
the peg from the market. Cotton
prices rallied about 35 cents a
bale and silver again dipped trac-
tionally lower.
The bond market was quiet,
with Australian Government is
sues recovering some of the ground
lost yesterday. Call money was
in good supply at 112 per cent.

Mrs. Joseph Carey Will
See Her Son Take Oath
AS Member of Senate
Notable Woman of Wyoming
Shared Husbands Politi-
cal Honors and Now
Greets His Successor In
National Affairs.

One of the most interested spectators
In the Senate gallery on March 4 will
be Mrs. Joseph Carey of Cheyenne.
Wyo., who, having shared the honor
OF husbands election as both Senator
and Governor of her State will now be
present to see the honor repeated for
her son, Robert Carey, who will take
his seat as Senator from Wyoming.
In 1876 the trouble which had
smouldered in Wyoming for some time
between the white men and the Sioux
broke out in actual warfare. Gen.
Custer lost his life at that time. but
the Indians were permanently sup
pressed and the territory made safe
for white men.
That same year a pretty young girl
accompanied her parents to the little
town of Cheyenne, her father having
accepted the position of surveyor gem
eral of the territory.
Among the many young men who
danced and rode with Miss David over
the plains where the buffalos ranged
was Joseph Carey, who later won her
hand. The same perseverance which
led him to success in his courtship
gained for Joseph Carey the highest
political honors of Wyoming.
Coming to Washington with his at
tractiye young wife during the first term
of President Clevelands administration,
Mr.. Carey, afterWard Senator repre-
sented the wyoming Territory in the
Forty-ninth Congress. He was a leader
in the movement agitated in the early
sos to admit Wyoming to the Union
as State and was a member of the
House at the time Wyoming was ad-
mitted as the forty-fourth State of the
Union.
Young Mrs. Carey was of that old
school which believed that ladies should
not mix" in politics, but noted that
through personal charm and an attrac-
tive home they could gain powerful
friends for their husbands. During
both President Cleveland's administra-
tons. and later during that of President
Harrison, Mrs. Carey carried out the
teachings of her school, entertained ex-
tensively and delightfully."- and gained
many warm friends for herself and the
Senator in the Capital.
Mrs. Carey, who is visiting her SON
Senator Robert Carey, at the Hay
Adams House, recalls with pleasure her
days as young hostess in Washington
during her husbands congressional
service.
II think Washington was far more
attractive then than now" she re-
marked. But, then, I think those DAYS
were more pleasant everywhere"
Senator Joseph Carey returned to
Wyoming after a successful six years
in Congress and entered into private
business. In 1911, he was honored by
election as Governor of Wyoming.
