UTILITIES LEAD
RECOVERY IN
MARKET
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 Q.N.S0.
Led by utilities, the stock market
recovered today after early reac-
tion and then settled into narrow
trading ranges.
Initial weakness reflected the
S. E. C. announcement it was con-
tinuing it's efforts to curb member
trading on the Stock Exchange by
working toward elimination of
three-day trades.
The bulge in utilities midway
through the first hour, which boil
stored the rest of the list, was fea-
tured by strength in Electric Power
and Light issues. The common,
and the Sc and 81 preferred all
reached new high ground. Public
Service, Columbia Gas and Amer
ican Water Works were fraction
ally improved.
Bethlehem and U. S. steel wiped
out initial fractional losses with
the former chalking up small
plus sign.
Motors were mixed. Chrysler
converted loss of almost a point
into small gain, but General Mo-
tors held under last nights finish.
Rails were neglected and ruled
slightly easier. In rubbers, Good
year gained more than a point.
Aviations, liquors and alcohols
were steady. Oils slipped mod
erately.
The bond market was soft.
The Washington times., 1936-11-20

Revision or elimination of
the capital gains tax is a pos
Sibility next year.
aggregate Federal tax re-
ceiptS for 1897 will far exceed
those of any year since 1881,
reflecting primarily the in
creased taxes arising from the
broad upturn in corporation and
individual incomes this year.
Federal expenditures will
probably decline, although at a
comparatively slow pace, and
aggregate OutlayS in 1887 will,
therefore, still be substantially
in excess of Federal revenues.
For the fiscal year to end
June 30, 1888, the deficit should
be the the smallest since 1881,
and the continuing expansion in
business volumes and profits
may possibly provide sufficiently
increased revenues to bring
about an approximate balance of
Federal receipts and Outlays in
that period.
"The time when an important
reduction in the present record
Federal debt can be expected is
still, however, comparatively re-
mote, probably at least two years
aWay,"

C.I. 7. DECLARES
S1.25 EXTRA

Directors of Commercial Invest
ment Trust Corporation have de-
clared an extra dividend of $1.25
per share in cash on the common
stock, in addition to the regular
quarterly dividend of 81 per share.
The extra dividend is payable
December Is and the regular divi-
dend on January l, 1887, both to
stockholders of record December
5.
At the August meeting the
board increased the regular divi-
dend rate on the common stock
from $3.50 to 81 annually. Last
May 20 per cent stock dividend
was declared and at the same time
the cash dividend rate was in
creased from SO annual basis to
$3.50.
The regular quarterly dividend
of $1.0614 on the convertible pref
erence stock, $4.25 series of 1885,
was also declared, payable Janu-
ary /, 1887, to stockholders of
record December S, 1886.
Holders of convertible prefer
ence stock who exercise their
right to convert into common
stock on the basis of one share of
preference stock for ~ shares of
common before the close of busi-
ness on December 5 will receive
both the regular and extra divi-
dends on such full shares of COM
mon stock issued upon conversion
(aggregating $3.375 per share of
preference stock) instead of the
preference dividend of $1.0614.
