The fruit is in splendid condition, dealors report, and the price has been as low as 30 cents a box. Mushrooms, also considered a deli- cacy at this season are particularly plentiful and much cheaper. . Receipts of other midwinter prod- ucts from the south include cucum- bers, eggplants, string beans.

The dividend meeting is scheduled for January 28, and it is expected that an extra of % of 1 per cent will be declared so as to make a full % per cent for the year. Steel is now regarded definitely as a 6 per cent stock, with very good chances of more being paid in the shape of ex- tras during 1924. Independent steel shares followed along with notable strength in Re- public and Gulf States, the former making a new high on the present move. With back dividends on the pre red entirely wiped out, Repub- lic common now is in line to receive something. Studebaker Starts Break. ‘The market continued strong until Jjust before midday, when heavy sell- ing appeared in Studebaker, causin & sharp break in that stock, a sympa- thetic decline in Chandier Motors, and checking the buying movement in Arrow preferred, which had a fewture at the outset. Despite falling off in the final quarter, Studebaker earnings for 1923 will run well above $20 a share. But the street was thinking' more today about the futu: and was s; ing that Studebaker could not very well hope to maintain in 1924 th extruordinary scule of operations of last vear. 0il shares were not affected by the continued pressure against the Pan- Americans. There were short-lived outbursts of buying in stocks of the specialty cluss, like Davison Chemical, Savage Arm; May Department Stores, Famous Players, New York Air Brake, Industrial Alcohol and International Combustion Engineering. Lehigh Valley Leads Rails. Among the rails, Lehigh Valley was the leader. At 68 it was up nearly & points within a week. This move has had in view the Reading experience bevause trading will shortly begin in the Lehigh Valley rights, issued un- der the segregation plan. Estimates of what these rights will sell for run from $15 to $25 a share. The publication of last week's fig- ures cn oil production and imports ut this etween’” season shed turther light upon the statis 1 po- sition of the industry today. There was an- Increase of 12,250 barrels in the average daily domestic output— mostly in California, Wyoming and Montana-—while imports dropped off 55,000 barrels daily. At present pro- duction plus imports, but exclusive an additional Mexican output, are 00 barrels a day Consumption country is 0 burrels dalily. Pan-American Shares Weak. The weakness in the Pan-American Petrolewm issues was conspicuous again today, both the “A" and “B" stocks breaking to their lowest in more than a year. Tt has been pre- dicted that the $8 dividend would be either cut or passed. Now the con- tinued decline is connected with re- ported heavy decreases in pan-Amer- ican’s production and with the in- “of the recent Mexican rebel- The Pan-American shares are‘ tions.

On the board the St. Paul bonds continued to attract the most atten- tion among the speculative rails. Ad- vances were recorded in all the active issues In response to the optimistic statement by the president of the road as to the results of the past year and the outlook for the future. Plerce-Arrow 88 were conspicuously strong among industrials, and all the sugar bonds were well taken, al- though without much change in price. The same is true of the copper is- sues, notably the Anaconda 6s and 7s, both sclling on their Investment mer- its rather than on any change in the copper market situation. There was @ better market for Public Service of New Jersey 5s. High-grade issues were steady, in- cluding Liberftys. Reading General 43 were active and higher. French Insues Higher. French bonds were steady to higher. United Kingdom 5%s of 1937 dropped below 99 and then rallled. The persistent heaviness was gen- ;rr;;ny ullrlrbulhed to doubt about the Eram of the new lab - o or govern: he long-expected new Argentine is- sue which was offered today consists of $40.000.000 in external 6 per cent bonds, priced at 961 to yield 6.25 ber cent. This fs about on a parity with the yield at recent market prices by the Argentine 7s of 1927 and the Intcrnal 53 of 1945.
