restraining absolutely the payment Of any
and all dividends on the common stock
until after the close of the present fiscal
year.
In the bill Mr.. Kern states that the
charter of the company provides that the
holders of the preferred stock shall be en-
titled to receive non-cumulative dividends
at the rate OF not exceeding 6 per cent per
annum for the fiscal year beginning Janu-
ary /, 1899. and that this dividend must
be paid in preference TO any dividend on
the common stock during this year.
He asserts. further that the charter,pro-
yides that the common stock shall be sub
ject to the prior rights OF the holders OF
the preferred stock. and that the dividend
on common stock cannot be paid until
after the close of the fiscal year ending
December l. 1899, and then out of the
surplus profits that then appear to have
been made by the corporation.
The bill alleges that the existence OF a
surplus of net profits cannot be aScer-
tained until the end Of the year, and that
any declaration or attempted payment OF
any dividend upon the common stock be-
fore the end of the year is manifestly con-
trary TO the terms OF the company's char
ter and detrimental TO the rights OF the
preferred stockholders.
Mr.. Kern's counsel stated in court that
every effort had been made to obtain a
copy OF the resolution adopted by the d.
rectors ordering the dividend, but that
they had been unsuccessful. and the in
formation regarding the text of the reso-
luton was, therefore, based on newspaper
reports.
He also asserted that holders Of $46,00O,-
600 of the preferred stock join with Mr..
Kern in the issue.
The capital stock of the Federal Steel
Company is 5000. .000. 900. one-half prefer
red the other half common stock.

INDUSTRIAL STOCKS
SHOW WEAKNESS
Sharp Losses Suffered in the
Opening Dealings.
Other Securities Lose Heart and
Join in the Declines.
Grangers and Tennessee Coal and
Iron Make q Recovery and De-
velOp . Firm Tone.

New York, June 20-All of the indus
trial stocks suffered sharp losses in the
early dealings in the mornings stock mar
ket, with Federal Steel. American Steel
and Wire. and Continental Tobacco the
conspicuous features. The pressure in this
quarter was directly due to the injunction
obtained at Camden yesterday against the
payment of the dividend declared on Fed
eral Steel common on June 16.
The circumstance seemed to unsettle
confidence in all of the industrial stocks,
and their weakness was reflected through
out the general market.
Other noteworthy declines apart from
those already cited were in Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, Metropolitan Street Rail-
way, and Tennessee Coal and Iron. The
granger shares showed fractional declines
at the opening, but later on developed
firmness. and Tennessee Coal and Iron also
rallied sharply.
The London market for American stocks
was fractionally lower than the local clos
ing prices. and consols were reported a
decline OF one-half point. The weak
ness of the London market was chiefly be-
cause of the apprehensions in regard to
the situation in South Africa
