Rumors of Anancial stringency and possible receivership Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company were attributed to lack of knowledge of the thetrue condition of the company by director. Those in close touch with the affairs of the company believe that the recent heavy selling, with consequent declines in both issues, are a result of the belated recognition of the. fact that although the company is reducing its outstanding obligations, dividends on the preferred stock are a very mote possibility.

In banking circles it was there is nothing in the condition of the company to prevent whatever financing seasonal demands of the industry require. A recent announcement of the Board of Directors to the effect that the company 18 not operating at a profit has been disappointing to those in the agricultural chemical industry for it has been generally considored that prevailing high prices for many staple farm: products would place chemical companies in a position to wipe out the red operating figures. Substantial increases in the company's business over last year's production have been reported and it is expected that sales during the last three months of the comany's fiscal year, which ends on May 31, will materially add to the financial strength of the organization.
