MARKET CAUTIOUS AT IRREGULAR PRICES Week Opens With Absence of Irregular Influences Which Provoked Saturday's Heavy Liquidation; Munitions Are Higher New York, April 9. (Wall Street) The week lu the stock market open ed with an absence of the unsettling influence! which provoked last Satur day's heavy liquidation, although the irregular trend of prices suggested further caution. Munitions and equip ments were higher by 1 to 2 points. U. S. Steel also responded to an exten sive demand with metals, Mexican Petroleum, shippings and some of the motors. Coalers featured the railway group and Ohio Gas more than re covered last Saturday's setback, rising six points. Recessions of 1 to 2 points were made by Texas Company, American Tobacco, Cuban-American Sugar and Sloss Sheffield Steel. Over one-third of the flrst hour's trading was in United States Steel, that ratio being materially reduced later. Steel made an extreme gain of 1% with four for Nova Scotia Steel and 4 for New Bethlehem Steel, while Driggs-Seabury, a minor mu nition issue, rose 9 points. Shippings, metals, sugars and numerous war con tract or supply stocks were 1 to 4 points over last week's final prices. Union Pacific and New York Central were added to the strong rails, but elsewhere in that quarter increasing heaviness was shown. Dealings in in ternational bonds were unusually ex tensive at substantial gains.

The board recommended par ole for Amos Hassler, Lebanon coun ty. United Grocers Corporation TOLEDO, OHIO The United Grocers Corporation is a holding company, owning the securities of many other non-competitive companies, and by this method consolidates and amalga mates the manufacture, production and distribution of food merchandise. Amalgamation and consolidation of diversified food manufacturers, packers, can ners and brokers result in manufacturing and brokering profits, economical operation, quicker turn overs of merchandise and the consequent saving in jcost of production, advertising and sales distribution. All these advantages and savings are sources of profit to the United Grocers Corporation, the holding company. Some of the companies whose securities the United Grocers Corporation has ob tained, in pursuance of the foregoing plans are: United Food Products Mfg. Company,... .Toledo, Ohio. Wilkes-Barre Who. Grocery Company,....Wilkes-Barre, Pa. United Printing Company, Toledo, Ohio. The Rice Grocery Company, Seranton, Pa. Central Brokerage & Importing C 0.,..... .Toledo, Ohio. S. R. Smith Company, Grantham, Pa. Grantham Preserving & Pickling Co., Grantham, Pa. The Adams County Preserving Co., York Springs, Pa. Harrisburg Wholesale Distributing C 0.,.. .Harrisburg, Pa. York Wholesale Distributing Co., York, Pa. Considering the volume of business that is being done at the present time by the companies affiliated with the United Grocers Corporation, and those companies un der contemplation of purchase, together with the improvements that are being in stalled in the company's plants, the volume of business that will be done annually by. the combined consolidation should reach a very large and satisfactory total. The United Grocers Corporation's plans of operation which combines manufact uring and brokering, with its sales organization and extraordinary distributive outlets, a conservative estimate on net profits on volume of business to be done should make the capital stock of the corporation a most satisfactory and profitable investment. WORLD-WIDE SHORTAGE OF FOOD SUPPLIES There is now and has been for some time, an actual shortage throughout the country of food products of the various varieties and kinds of United Grocers Corpora tion manufactures, packs, cartons, cans, handles, etc., through its subsidiary com panies. The ever increasing demand and shortage for food products far exceed the capacity of existing American manufacturers. SAFETY OF PROFITS There is no safer business than the food industry. The people of the world must be fed, and there could not be a more opportune time than at present to promote and engage in the manufacture, production and distribution of food merchandise. It is a well known fact that concerns such as the Quaker Oats Company, Cream of Wheat Company, Heinz an dmany other similar companies have earned and paid enor mous dividends to their shareholders for many years. The profit margin of food products is ample and constant. 7 Per Cent. Cumulative Preferred Stock, par SIOO.OO per share. Sale Price SIOO.OO per share. Common Stock, par value, SIOO.OO per share.

Major-Gen eral Leonard Wood, according to in formation from a source usually ac curate, is not to be transferred by the War Department from the Eastern Department, with headquarters at New York, to Charleston, S. C., to command the newly designated South eastern Department. Although orders for the transfer were issued by the War Department two weeks ago they will not go into effect it is stated. The Administra tion has changed Its mind and Gen eral Wood will remain in command of the most important division of the army, and if moved therefrom it will be to a place of even greater Import ance. Insomuch as the determination to give General Wood what is considered the least Important military command in the country was based solely upon political feeling the fact that the Gov ernment has abandoned its intention Indicates that political consideration are not to be permitted to affect the operation of the War Department and, therefore, aucurs well for the effec tive prosecution of the war.
