Inventory Surprises

Trade Observers Say

NEW YORK, Sept. Robustness
troubles will accumulate in coming
weeks if fall business does not
quicken its pace and drain off in
ventory SURPRISES that are becoming
worrisome, is the prediction of many
veteran trade observers. They see
the solvency of overextended manu-
facturers seriously jeopardized.
If business troubles eventuate in
anticipated numbers, manufacturers
and wholesalers are expected to
comprise the bulk of the casualty
list. Latest Department of Com
merce figures show that during July.
when retail stocks were easing OF
manufacturers inventories were in
creased by more than $500 ,00O,O 900.
Little Relief Expected.
Inventory bulges have been eX-
perienced before, and their incidence
has been viewed with equal alarm,
1t Is true, but there is less reason
at this time to believe that another
infiationary upsurge will happen
along fortuitously to relieve the
pressure on damned pipelines And
carry away the residues piling up in
some trades.
| Robert r. Jacobs. newly elected
president Of the New York Credit
Mems Adjustment Bureau, Inc,
looks for the bureau to handle more
and more insolvency cases in the
coming months Of the year and pos
sibly into early next year. He finds
firms are running into difficulties
trying to meet their obligations.
Mr.. Jacobs reports that inven-
tories among manufacturers partic-
ularly are heavy" and the fall sea-
son does not seem to be moving
along we'll. Retailers are request
ing manufacturers to hold mer-
chandise, he adds, with the result
that manufacturers cannot get
these orders on their books as ac-
counts receivable.
Troubles Aggravated.
Mr.. Jacobs alse points out that
continued buying Of raw materials
in anticipation of spring season
requirements has tended to aggra.
vate the inventory troubles 81 manu-.
facturers.
Their position has not been i'm
proved by such recent events as
drops in cotton textile prices, shift
of consumer preference from soft
warp dress fabrics to taffetas and
tapestries and the liquidation of
piece goods stocks that tied up sorely
needed working capital
Undoubtedly, however. price re-
sistance is the core of the inventory
situation. While the retailer can
adjust his stocks to demand. it is
not always practicable for the manu-
facturers to do the same with pro-
duction.
Impressed goods are no less
liabilities than finished goods.

By Nelson M. Shepard

For the first time since the North
American Co. disposed of its 1851 ESQ
shares of common stock of the Poto-
mac Electric Power Co., the Capital
utility reported today, the largest
block of Pepco stock is now held in
the District. Washington ranks Sec
ond in the number of stockholders.
The report showing distribution OF
ownership in the stock of the power
company in 48 States and abroad
reflects the steady trend in the con-
centration of the stock in the Dis
trict since December 81, l947.
The 5,263 holders in the District
own 857,220 shares of the common
sock of Pepco. While New York
ranks first, with 9,245 shares, Dis
trict shareholders have attained
first ranking in the average shares
OF stock per holder-l6288 shares.
Active on ID. {. Exchange.
The substantial increase in the
number of shareholders here and
the amount of stock they own, &C
counts for the marked activity in
tracing OF Pepco shares on the
Washington Stock Exchange. On
the whole, about 10 shares OF Pepco
stock are being bought over the
local exchange for investment to
one being sold.
AS stockholders of North Ameri-
can Co. in other States continue 10
unload their own shares OF Pepco'
the company expects the proportion
of ownership in the DISTRICT OF
Columbia will be greatly increased
in the coming year.
For comparative purposes the
District ranked third in the NUMBER
of stockholders on June I. Inen
the 4792 holders owned 75l,f9o
shares or an average OF 1858 per
holder. The amount OF STOCK nelu
here put the District in second pace
Then it also held first place IN the
size of the average holdings.
On December 81 the Distllc'
ranked fourth with $3.50 stockhold-
ers The number of shares helo
then sos 1886, placed the District
second in volume OF stock ana tile
average per holder was l69oS snales

placed first, however, in the average
per holder, or 1882.

Stock Market Drifts
'|rreguIar|y Lower
In Quiet Dealings
By Raider Wineet
Associated Press FinoneioI Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. 23-Settling
into quiet grove, stock market
prices today turned irregularly
lower.
A steady tone at the opening soon
faded as quotations were pared
down by eighths of point until a
majority of them sagged below their
lprevious close.
Steels and Oils maintained a sort
of leadership in activity but they
worked up practically no following.
Rains abandoned their recent role
of holding against downward move
ments as leaders slipped by fractions
to as much as a point.
With a few exceptions in the case
of high priced issues, changes IN
the entire list were less than half
point in either direction for con-
siderable period.
Trading remained a professional
affair with outside investors holding
OF, in many cases awaiting develop
ment of major trend.
Among stocks slipping were United
States Steel. Chrysler, Kennecott
Du Pont. Eastman Kodak, Northern
Pacific, Eastern Airlines and Loew's
Better performers included Deere
Oliver Corp, Schenley and goth
| Century-Fox.
Brokers noted an easing of tension
in the European crisis over Berlin
Some sources regarded this as en-
couraging but inconclusive so fal
as the market is concerned.
Erie Railroad elected Paul w
Johnson executive vice president
and a director.
| w. r. Grace & Co. elected Lau-
renee H. Odell vice president. He
was formerly vice president OF
Montgomery Ward & CO.

U. of ALASKA TO BE FILLED TO CAPACITY THIS YEAR

The outlook for the coming school year at the University of Alaska at College, Alaska, shows prospects for as many students as last year, according to a state ment by Helen M. Jorgensen, Registrar. Many of last years students are planning on another year at the University and have reserved their dormitory rooms for the fall semester.
 The processing of applications from new students is being com pleted and already there is wait ing list for men students who want rooms in the dormitories, Miss Jorgensen said. Rooms are still available for women students. It appears that there will be many who will be unable to attend the University next fall, if all rooms on the campus are filled and housing in Fairbanks is un- obtainable.
 As in years past new applica- tions are being received from pro- spective students from the United States as well as from the Terri tory. Many prospective students are G.I.s who saw service in some part of Alaska and wish to re- turn to the Territory to study and make their homes. Married coup les are planning to bring their own trailer accommodation so that they will be assured of hous- ing.
 The Department of Mining and Civil Engineering prove to be the most popular fields of study for men, whereas general courses in Arts and Letters are the choice of women students.
