Expansion Is Quiet.
In short, July brought TO cold print
the sort of things of which bull mar
ketS are made-or rather, the things
of which they were made in the free
and unregulated era.
Share prices climbed and transac-
tions on the Stock Exchange showed
considerable expansion as compared

with all the increase of interest 1t
was still performance entirely lack
ing the bullish fervor and color which
distinguished earlier phases Of the
recovery not to mention the old-fash-
ioned bull markets of the pre-depres-
sion years.
The apparent moderateness Of the
public speculative appetite was sur
prising to many veterans of the street
in the face of a steady flow of good
news-the sort of advices that in 1923
and 1929 used to inspire such waves
Of buying as to tax the facilities of
brokers and the exchange.
Public Response Casual.
Rejecting on the casual response
of the public, brokers could think of
no reason for the phenomenon other
than that some new gears have been
added to the machinery of regulation
since the last manifestation of the
speculative urge on a mass basis.
More specifically, brokers assert
that new margin requirements, calling
for $55 cash on the line for every 500
worth of stocks purchased. has played
potent role in keeping the small fry
traders in idleness.
Operating in sufficient number. the
little fellows can, it is contended, con-
tribute plenty of momentum to a bull
market, and likewise to bear market
when they find the tide running

NEW YORK. August 4-Directors
of the Socony-Vacuum Oil Co., one Of
the largest producing and marketing
organizations in the petroleum indus
try, declared today a dividend Of rs
cents a share on its capital stock,
compared with 20 cents paid last
March.
The dividend is payable September
Is to shareholders Of record August 10.
The company estimated consoli-
dated net income Of about $20,00O,000
was earned in the first half Of the
year, a substantial gain over the fig
ure for the comparable period of 1885.
approximately s3,000,000 of the
profit was said to have resulted from
a change in accounting methods In
the handling Of development costs.
A supplementary statement revealed
that the earnings for the current half
year compare with s4,500,000, after
writing off S3,20O,OoO for intangible
development costs, in the like period
of 1885.
Extra Below expectations.
Declaration of an extra dividend OF
IS cents a share by directors of Gen.
eral Motors Corp, late yesterday. plus
the regular quarterly dividend of so
cents, fell a bit below the expecta-
tions of some optimistic Wall Street
quarters, it was learned today.
Some financial analysts, viewing the
big motors concerns second-quarter
profit of 81 a share. had hoped to see
a boost in the extra payment to
around 81 a share, or a lift In the
regular quarterly rate to above the
50-cent level.
In other quarters, however. it was
noted that the s53,875,000 regular and
extra disbursements just ordered.
equal to S125 a common share, when
added to the similar dividends de-
clared three months ago, totaled ap-
proximately 70 per cent Of the net
profit for the first six months Of 1885.
Net income for that period was
S14O.572,546 or $317 share OF
common.
Effects of Tax Awaited.
The basis for hopes Of an even
higher bonus to shareholders, it was
said. had been the possible effects
of the undistributed profits surtax
provided in the Federal revenue act
of 1886, which imposes levies on a
sliding scale upward on such portion
of net profit as is not passed along to
stockholders.
Monday saw, in addition to the
General Motors declarations, an extra
