14 MARKET CAUTIOUS AT WEEK'S OPENING Gains and Losses For the Most Part Fractional and Evenly Distributed—Equipments and Muni tions Variable New York, April 16. —(Wall Street) —1 Uains and losses, for the most part | fractional, were quite evenly distrlb- j uted during to-day's early dealing, I trading being light in volume and of j a cautious character. Equipments and j munitions were variable with the sev- 1 eral groups of war issues. Rails de- j veloped further Irregularity, especial- j Iv coalers, Reading losing half a point. ! with two points for Norfolk and West- j em. This was offset to a degree by the ! strength of Baltimore arid Ohio and Louisville and Nashville. Gas shares j were again among the weak features, j People's Gas losing 3 points. U. S. j Steol reacted from its tlrm opening 1 with similar tendencies in other prom- , inent industrials. Operations broadened later and! pressure became more general. Soft j spots were uncovered by the increas ed selling of professional traders and additional liquidation seemed to re-1 suit from the President's proclamation emphasizing the need of economy and ] small profits. L". S. Steel fell l \ with 2>4 for Bethlehem Steel new stock! and l to 3 for most industrials and! war supply issues. Marines weakened ! on reports that Great Brituin had ex tended its control over ships of Brit ish registry and rails made further; concessions. Bonds were irregular with U. S. government half to half points lower on call XEW YORK STOCKS Chandler Bros. & Co.. members New York and Philadelphia Stock Ex- j changes, 3 North Market Square, Har- 1 risburg; 1338 Chestnut street, Pliila- \ delphia; 34 Pine street.

Amalgamation and consolidation of diversified food manufacturers, packers, din ners and brokers result in manufacturing and brokering profits, economical operation, quicker turn overs of merchandise and the consequent saving in cost 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. ( ilkes-Barre Who. Grocery Company,. .. .Wilkes-Barre, Pa. United Printing Company, Toledo, Ohio. The Rice Grocery Company, Scranton, Pa. Central Brokerage & Importing Co., 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. \ork 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 011 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 faf exceed the capacity of existing American manufacturers. SAFETY OF PROFITS There is 110 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.
