The FINANCIAL NEWS.
Local Stocks.

The market is buoyant again today
aud bids fair TO exceed in activity any
previous period. No less than thirty
one stocks show advances varying from
90 cents to $50.
The feature Of the day is the advance Of
American Screw stock. Since Jan. .,
this stock has advanced from PSI TO 800
There are many rumors OH the street
In regard to il and some deny any pros
ective increase of dividends. lt remains
a fact, however, that most of the stock
holders not only expect an Increase Of
dividends, but also an extra dividend.
They believe that some OF the surplus
earnings should be divided out. There
are two other facts that have affected the
stock. One is the proportion OF the trade
which is due TO the American Company
under the manufacturers agreement.
This proportion was some time ago
only 45 per cent. IL was afterward
raised TO AZ per cent. and or Jan. l it was
made 80 per cent. BY this new agree
ment the income of the American Screw
Company will be increased between $500.
600 and 100000 annually. This agree
ment il is true last but for eighteen
months from Jan. l, lS93 but the process
OF manufacture of the American Com
pany II SO much cheaper than that OF
OF her companies that there will be no in
ducement for the other manu-
facturers TO break the agreement
1t was expected that the American
Company would Withdraw from the
association, but the recent concession
was made in order TO keep It in. The
other reason for the advance is found ia
The pending sale of he foreign patents.
The decision against the Nettlefolds have
given the American Company practical
OF foreign markets in wood
screws, and the patents are very valuable.
