CURB SHARES HOLD
IN NARROW TREND
Price Changes in Leaders
Are Small at Week
End Session.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, March 25.-The Curb
Exchange moved narrowly in today's
dull session.
Electric Bond & Share was of q
fraction and Cities Service was mi
nutely lower. Standard OIL of Indiana
and Humble Oil were unchanged.
American Gas & Electric receded on
a few offerings.
Although week end trade news was
cheerful, some specific developments
about individual corporations were less
favorable. This was especially true of
dividend actions and income statements.
Gray Telephone Pay Station had dis
continued the omission Of the quarterly
payment due at this time.
There had been no recent hint of
a further scaling of disbursements on
aluminium Co. Of America preferred, SO
the halving Of that payment, compared
with the rate paid three months ago,
brought instant offerings which set the
stock back more than 2 points.
American Hardware had failed to
forecast reduction Of the annual rate
from 81 to 81, though earnings so
foreshadowed. The various preferred
issues OF Northern Indiana Public Sery-
Ice were reduced. Although Public
Service OF Indiana declared the usual
quarterly preferred dividends, this ac-
ton was not sufficient to offset un-
favorable acts of other directorates.
with the result that senior power and
light shares generally were heavy.
The beer stocks" again were bid
Tor, notably Armstrong Cork and Amer
lcan Beverage. Gold mines hardened
Some OF the specialties such as A. O
Smith Corporation and Noyadel Aoene
which was ex-dividend today, were well
taken. Northam Warren Corporation
convertible preferred was of a point
after its recent rise of points.

from the figures on steel production, car
loadings and electric power output that
business was recovering but slowly from
the paralysis that accompanied the
Nationwide closing of banks.
Nevertheless, the week witnessed ex-
tension on the striking gain in bank

reopenings. Just as currency circula-
ton had increased by record breaking

SHOE TRADE WANTS
COMMODITY GAINS
Head of Retailers Warns
Dealers Not to Specu-
late, However.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 25.-A warning
against speculation in the event of
general advance in commodity prices
has been issued to the retail shoe in
dustry, now swinging into its Spring
sales season with stocks in healthy"
condition.
From A. H. Geuting of Philadelphia.
president of the National Shoe Retail
ers Association, has gone word to the
organizations membership that mo one
need fear an advancing market, hence
retailers should not indulge in specula-
ton"
Declare Advance Is Needed.
Leaders in the retail shoe business
say rise in commodity prices is the
major factor needed to provide a normal
tone Tor all activities in the industry
from manufacture of hides to sale of
shoes. Throughout the last three years
both employment and production have
levels.
Production Of manufactured shoes
was II per cent below average" In
1881, and only 10 per cent In 1892,
with production increasing in January
and February from the low of last De-
cember, according to reports to the
A~NN0oo A4So0Hooi lCio VI Lllc dSSOSldtlOO.
A seasonal rise in output is expected to
continue until early May.
A safe rule for retailers, even In an
advancing market, says Geuting, is to
buy according to needs Of their bust
ness. He has warned merchants not to
think OF anticipating any advance in
prices by buying beyond what their
business requires
Keep inventories at known reason
able levels and cash reserves as liquid
as possible" he has told retailers
throughout the country. Watch your
overhead, pay close attention to your
business and to giving services to Gus
toners.
Rent Reductions.
When money begins to circulate
freely again, as it will from the addi-
tional currency that will flow through
trade channels, people will be more in
clined again to be interested in good
merchandise.
"A larger sale Of quality merchandise
will produce an increase in the dollar
unit OF sales, which is the most es-
sential thing at this time to insure
dealers a profit"
The association finds that about half
!tS dealers, In attempts to reduce over
head costs in line with dollar volume
OF sales, have been able to attain ad-
JustmenS on rents, in many cases
bringing reductions in long-term con-
tracts signed in prosperity days.
