low record reached in the earlier part
Of the year.
Shipments Of 100000 tons will
mean earnings at the rate of about
Sl20,oo0,o00 a year. based upon present
prices for steel This would enable the
corporation to show a balance of at
least $4,000 900 for the common stock.
q figure equal to about 6 per cent
There are many investors who are buy
ing the stock on the theory that the
dividend will be increased at the meet
ing in July. but while earnings Justify
an increase, still it is well known that
the corporation has been withdrawing
large sums from its assets to meet con-
struction expenditures.

q Steel company, which has a plant at
East Chicago, Will end this month The
annual statement Will be issued some
time in August The showing will be
favorable. considering the fact that the
year embraces period of depression.

to more than 3 Il per cent on the pre-
ferred stock for that period The show
ing for the first half of this year has
