One Of the features Of the weeks news
developed yesterday at the meeting ot the
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. a mag
niiicent report was submitted the payment
of "a per cent back dividend On the Pc
ferred stock not surrendered was voted.
and the common stock was put on an per
cent dividend basis The report shows that
for the year ending December there were
net profits Of 81. .SGi l7g. against Ss23.6S5 in
the previous year. Interest charges and
guarantees cut the amount applicable 10
dividends TO l.St. SEQ Tor the year Merry
all this increase was made during the last
six months of the year. and the larger part
OF ia during the last three months. when
business was done for the fist time at the
best rates. These rates are now in force,
and. better than that, contracts have been
made for a year. more or less, ia advance.
The Tennessee Coal and IRON Company was
for many years considered in the street
kind q gold brick and its stock one Of the
great bunCo games OF the street. 1t was
talked about much as people few months
ago discussed the new iron and steel in
dCstrials. At the present time IL is prob
able that there are few companies n tie
country doing & more profitable bus mess on
a large scale. The concern owns its iron
mines and its cCal mines and they are said
to be OF immense extent and value. It
owns its own furnaces and its own steel
mill. u sells coal at prohtabIe prizes, and
il sells ore ana pig iron and steel. It
makes all the profits TO be made in the
business. and its expenses are said to be
smaller than those of any OF the new COM
binatiuns Its capital stock is small. For
many years the preferred stock has re-
ceived no dividends. The common stock
practically has never received any. In one
b.a Tod Tf,rf1au,1e on
the preferred are paid OF and the common
stock established on a dividend-paying
basis. These matters are an l-sufIicieDt
explanation for the advance Of the COM
mon stock from nothing or Whereabouts
share to around par IN the past year or
two. The stock advanced yesterday at the
opening on the expectation Of this action
by the company aud later il continued 10
advance on the announcement.
4 statement made by one OF the officers
Of the Big Four is to the effect that already
during the present fiscal year the company
has earned the fun dividend on the pre-
terred stock and fun per cent dividend
on the common stock as we'll
Pacific Mail was weak during the greater
part Of the week. and on Friday sold as
low as - and a fraction. Yesterday il i'm
proved somewhat on covering Of shorts
The statement Of the company for jan
uary was received during the week and it
was not considered good by the street. In
addition 10 this the talk Of the probability
Of the Subsidy bill being shelyed has
caused many holders 10 sell out There is
30 very good reason for being enthusias-
tic regarding the immediate outlook for
this stock, but it is considered by many an
excellent investment al the present price

The bank statement figures are as fol

II will be seen that the loss Of cash is
quite as large as was predicted. The heavy
decrease in loans for the week alone pre-
vents the wiping out of the entire surplus
reserve. the amount now being less than
81 000 O00. however. The big Increases in
the loans during the past six weeks have
been more or less Of a mystery, and this
weeks decrease is no more easily under
stood II is supposed that preparation by
banks for securing the new bonds has fig
ured largely in the increases and il may be
presumed that this movement has now
ceased. The expectation is that during the
coming week the payments on the pre-
miums on the old bonds viii begin TO reach
the banks and that before another state
unent is made up an excellent showing will
be possible
