THE MERGENTHAIER EARNINGS
Good Showing to he Made Mt the
Compnny's Meeting Today.

Company Meeting Today.
The annual meeting of the Mergenthaler
Linotype Company will be held today, and
the report read for the year ending October
l. Much interest Is felt in this report on
account of the various stories that have
been floating in Washington that the earn
ings Of the company have been decreasing
during the year. 1t is learned from re-
liable source that these rumors are with
out foundation. and that the business has.
in reality, increased largely.
The authority referred to makes the
statement that the report will show near
ly 10000 earned in excess Of all ex-
penses and charges. This amount is near
" 5000. coo in excess Of the showing for the
previous year and 1t is the best statement
made by the company for several years.
The dividend at present paid on Mer-
genthaler stock is 90 per cent. or $1,000
600. 1t will be seen that the dividend has
been earned with the exception of slOO, 900.
The dividend was increased to its present
rate because a large surplus had been
piled up. which the company did not con-
slider it just to withhold from the stock
holders This surplus has been cut into
somewhat since the increase OF the rate,
but this year it will remain practically
intact
The report is considered a remarkably
brilliant one. and it is causing the shorts
in the stock to cover in the local ex-
change The price advanced yesterday
| from 179 Ia to ISL IL.
The local stock exchange yesterday
listed the Washington Traction and Eiec
trio bonds. The bonds have not been
listed heretofore. despite the fact that the
brokers. many of them. desired to trade
in them. II has been the understanding
that the syndicate did not desire to have
them listed. The fact that President Stew
ems did not at this time make any objec-
ton to the action of the exchange causes
some brokers to believe that the company
may be making a better showing.
The action Of the Governing Commit
tee listing the bonds was taken yesterday
Only S13.000,00O Of the $20.000G00 issue
was listed. The first sale Of the bonds
took place yesterday, at Co. and was regu-
larly recorded
