me STOCKS IRREGULAR AT SHORT SESSION Week End Profit Taking ¢ Wipes Out Gains in Early ® Trading. BY CLAUDE A. JAGGER, Associated Press Financial Editor. NEW YORK, October 17.—Securities markets were quiet and fairly stable in today's short session. Shares worked a little higher for a time, but week end profit-taking im- arted a somewhat heavy tone in the inal dealings and some of the promi- nent shares registered losses of from fractions to about a point. Shares closing & point or so lower in- | cluded American Telephone, New York Central, Allied Chenical and Southern Pacific. United States Steel, General Motors and American Can, however, closed with negligble changes Some of the food. non-ferrous metal and specialty shares were firm. National Lead, a thinly traded issue, pushed up 7 points, and Coca Cola more than 3 Issues gaining a point or so included Kennecott, American Smelting, Alaska Juneau, National Biscuit, United Bi: cuit, Corn Products and American Bugar. ‘The mercantile reviews appearing at the end of the week were somewhat more cheerful, reporting that the cooler weather had given a fresh impulse to retail trade, and that comment from business centers generally was some- what more cheerful, although aggregate changes were small. Reviews of the steel industry at the end of the week spoke of fair improve- ment in the inquiry from the automo- bile makers and farm implement man- ufacturers. How soon this inquiry may be translated into actual gains in pro- duction remained somewhat in doubt, for estimates of aggregate activity in the Youngstown area next week indi- cate a substantial slackening. DI\;IDENDS COVERED. Net earnings of Incorporated Investors from cash dividends and interest, and after all expenses, equaled, 284 cents per share during the past quarter, more than covering the quarterly dividend of 25 cents. During the first nine months of 1931 net earnings were equal to 80.2 cents per share on the average number of shares on which dividends were paid, compared with 89.2 cents in the corre- eponding period of 1930. District Business Barometers Power consumption and telephone usage in the District recorded advances during the past month over the corre- sponding period of 1930, while check transactions, postals receipts and retail trade showed declines. according to business barometers collected by The Star. Power consumption here during Sep- tember amounted to 27.712.192 kilowatt hours as compared with 25.266..208 in September of last year, the Potomac Flectric Power Co. reports. ‘There were 174,785 telephones in service here last month as compared with 163,736 in September a year ago, the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co., announces. The average number of originating calls per day last month was 624020 as compared with 570,953 a year ago.
