AS stated in last weeks column we are now beginning to
ZEE extra dividends, increased dividens, and stock splits.
During the past week Chrysler Corporation split their
stock two for one and maintained the same dividend on the
split stock, thereby doubling their dividend. Numerous other
companies are rumored to be considering stock splits between
now and the years end
The Stock Market continued its upward movement with
practically all of the various industries participating in the
rise. The automobile stocks were especially strong, followed
by electroncs, oils, steels, airlines. The ethical drug industry
stocks benefited greatly from the Federal Drug Administra-
tons approval of a new oral contraceptive pill.
The Dow Jones Industrial averages, which ended the
week above $50 level, have caused some analysts to predict
ali additional IS points before any real reaction will take
place. This, Of course, is a~nybodys guess but the contin-
ud strength in the various segments of the Market have lead
