Recent Dividend Declarations

BY DIR. MAX WINKLER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 5.-The ad-
herence to policy Of defeatism by the
rank and file of the American investing
public is not readily understandable.
particularly because of the rather op-
timistic attitude which American in
dustrial leaders are inclined to adopt.
II the public is Of the opinion that
the credit standing of the United
States, or, for that matter. any other
country, depends wholly or largely on
statistics, such attitude is untenable.
OF course, marked setbacks in the Sc
curitieS markets have a tendency to
undermine confidence in the economic
structure of the country. However. it
is fallacy to attach too much impor-
tance to price changes, which are pure
ly professional in character. Move
ments are bound to assume considerably
greater significance as soon as uncer-
tainties incident upon elections are
eliminated
In the meantime, the investing pub

the reasons which must have prompted

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK. November Stock
Exchange commission house letters to-
day expressed encouragement over yes
terdays rebound in prices but there
was little inclination to recommend
making definite commitments at this
time
Comments follow.
Chas D. Barney & Co.-Even though
the market goes somewhat higher this
morning We believe it must submit to
some secondary reaction over the next
few days. The conservative policy calls
for the deferment Of new commitments
ity to absorb such secondary selling as
well as the results of the election.
Frazier Jelke g. Co.-Yesterday's re-
eovery followed session in which stocks
had been put to severe test. Selling
pressure was sufficient to cause prices
o decline to the lower limits of the trad
ing area occupied since October 10. Fer
stocks to rebound directly after having
been subjected to such a test may be
regarded as a good omen. For several
lays we have stressed the technical posi-
ton of the market rather than underly-
IllS cCOIlOIIilC 1ulludlltLldlS.
Hamershlag, Borg & Co.-The cue to
the future trend will no doubt be given
shortly after election. and until then
We advise extreme caution in the placing
of any commitments
Jackson Bros. Boosel & Co-This is
a very strong indication that securities
recently purchased have been almost
entirely bought for cash. The banks of
the country will probably not lend freely
to new buyers of securities until they
can obtain substantially better interest
rates than are now available on invest
ments in Government securities.
Shields & Co-All of the monetary
bullish rumors constitute hope alone but
they comprise an interesting contrast to
the talk Of a few DAYS ago and again
Illustrate how quickly sentiment can
change in the speculative world

business will quickly forget the election
