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.

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.

make the securities of the United Grocers Corporation a most attractive investment.
Application will be made to list both the Preferred and Common stock of the United Grocers Corporation

GEN. WOOD MAY BE
HELD IN NEW YORK
Indications Arc That lie Will
Be Retained in High
Command
Washington, April 9. 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.
