The stock will be offered to
present stockholders of record

1t is proposed that $3.50. 600

600 in the preferred stock re-

smaller firms better proportion

a right TO appeal the amounts

are made official.
Chances are very bright the
quotas will not mean anything
after the first of the year. While
steel, the limiting factor, is ex-
peeted to stay tight in the third

ton in the fourth, it will loosen
up by the end of the year and

One Of the features was a slump

Merchandising and mail order
equities hovered near Saturdays
finals. Utilities were slightly
lower except for Consolidated Ed

point.

operated narrowly. Curb shares
