UNDERWRITERS PROFITS INu S. STEEL.

l-,t]erwriting has been raised to a tine
ar1 There was "a time when the iihasl-
cicrs WHO furnished the money for consoi~
;datin., a great business or reorganizins a
railroad were satisfied with ten per cent
on their investment-tfat Is. on Inc
amount OF capital involved. or course
this does not mean that they always had
10 nut ,pp the whole amount involved.
I.ut The profits that have been made by
iiae United States Steel Underwriting syn
dictate have been so enormous that ten
per cent. looks too small to think about.
According TO The New York Evening
Post, the United States Underwriting
Syndicate put up SIS, 300 in cash, and
were liable, under the terms Of their
agreement at any time within n1teen
months to have to put up sl1s. eoepeo add
tional dTor this service the syndicate
received s49,as7 shares OF preferred stock
and G4a.as shares of common stock. TAX
ing g valuation OF 80 and 90 for these
shares respectively. the syndicate re-
ceved $780, oa. for which 1t contributed
ss5.ooo.0 900 in cash, while its other expenses
are reported at 100000. THIS leaves a
net profit to the syndicate of $50, 800, 900.
plus the dividends received on its share
holdings Against this net profit j. r
Morgan & Co. gre understood to have
charged ST., 500 600 for management of the
syndicate This is the largest profit that
has ever been made by any underwriting
syndicate in America
Outside of the Stee! Syndicate, the
Union Pacific Railroad Reorganization
Syndicate has been one OF the most prcdt-
able OF recent underwriting, synaicates
lis profits were never publicly announced.
but the reorganization plan stated that
the syndicate was to pledge itsslf 70 fur
,lish aepp. il needed. and to receive
5000. le1 in preferred shares. OF which
81 coo, Go went 10 the bankers, Kuhn, Loeb
& Co The syndicate was not called upon
to pay much cash.
In reorganiza tons, tha syndicate always
assumes liability for assessments not met
by shareholders. anG there Is always more
or less demand from this phase OF the
question. In the hichmond Terminal re-
organization which DreNel Morgan &
co. undertook when nobody else would,
the firm for long time stood to lose
many millions, but The reorganization IL
nally came out most successfully.
Not few houses of considerable Fepu-
tation make almost their entire income
from participation in unaerwritings. The
business. however, is by no means alto
cetlle, ono Of easy and assured profits,
and profits are not always realized in
cash. The Steel Underwriting Syndicate
is still intact, and instead Of cash the
subscribers may get stock.
Following a plan which is supposed to
have been laid down by ]. T. Morgan q
Co, it is customary for the financial
house or houses which underwrite an Is
sue of this sort 10 take nne-tfth of the
net profit for their services.
These profits look unreasonabiy large.

is not a sum OF money taken from any

were equally guilty. Mr. Ward announced that
he would take appeal to the Court of Err
rors and Appeals. and the prisoners filed new
bonds in S11.oO each. Philip Dyer. retired
wine merchant, who was previously on their
bond. again qualified. There are two other in
