Considering nil things, it xvns morp surprising that the average price of the local shares xvas held up so xvrll. H hat concessions were madp resulted more because of the restricted demand and narrowness of the market rather than because of any great volume of selling. There wns liquidation in 11 number of the local stocks, but this xvas small and represented to a large extent the outcome of marginal ad justments. As might be expected under the cir cumstances the market for the sppcial tics xvas again found extremely thin. It xv as only In thc.se issues the decline reached serious proportions.

The outstanding news developnipnt wns furnished in the niinouiHcmput of tltu resumption of dividends on llald x in Locomotive Works common stock. While there had been a great deal of 1111 enrlv distribution to tlie junior fdiareholders, it xvas not believed in bet ter Informed quarters any action would be taken by the directors until next year, Tlie ."Mi per cent dividend announce ment today, thcrrforp, cnnic in the na ture of a big Surprise. This is Uip first distribution received by the com mon stockholders since 1015. For threp .xenis the common received 12 per cent but the year following the outbreak of the xvnr dividends xxcre suspended on the common stock. The 7 ner rent dividend on the pre ferred xvas sustained. As the dlstri-ial bution of ,'lMi per rnt was announced ns "a dividend," It leaves the question of further distribution in doubt. Since the market for the stock Is largely held in New York the incident xvas xxithout influence upon the local shares. FOREIGN EXCHANGE Now York, Nov. 28. The foreign exchange market opened xveak.

BEEKS SADDLEMIRE Investment Securities 74 Broadway NEW YORK Short Talks to Investors IV. Foresight FIVE years ago Great Northern stock and Texas Company stock were both selling at similar prices. The holder of Great Northern, who then had the fore sight to exchange his investment for Texas Company stock, can indeed con gratulate himself today. GREAT Northern has since sold below 90; Texas Company has sold far above 300. But this is only a part of the story. While Great Northern has continuously Daid its 7fo dividend, Texas Company las paid 10 regularly, and in addition, las given valuable "rights" to its stockholders twice since 1914. THE Service we offer gives the investor every opportunity to cope with chang ing conditions by making investment changes in this way. Many of our sub scribers followed our advice in the above instance, to their good advantage.
