Standard Oil has not reported earnings since 1931, when profits equalled 34 cents a share. At that time it was pointed out that con- tinuation of extradividends was dependent on a recovery in earning It is to be presumed that the year 1932 was a better period for Stan dard Oil, as for most oil panies, but it is evident that earn- ings did not reach as high as the $2 a share paid in dividends," Within the last two months there have occurred severe cuts in the price of crude oil and refined pro- ducts. Unlass prices are higher when the active consuming season arrives in the spring, 1833 will be much less favorable than 1832. There is perhaps a reasonable pos sibility of better oil prices later on, because proration has largely succeeded in curtailing production and progress has been made in re- ducting storks of oil and oil pro ducts on hand,
Retention of Standard Oil stock is recommended-for this-issue-is-the- best representative of the petroleum group from an investment stand- point. and, despite the cut in divi- dend, the stock is still yielding around 4 per cent, which is some compensation to holders, while awaiting the better developments which might be expected with any general trade recovery (from Survey" "Moody's Investment
