FEARS PROHIBITION
IN MISSOURI
BUSCH TALKS ABOUT
MOVING BIG PLANT OUT OF
STATE-A THREAT TO THE
VOTERS.

st. Louis, April 29.-Adolphus
Busch, brewer, has issued a statement
on the proposed submission of pro-
hibition to a vote of the people in
Missouri The prohibition submission
resolution, which passed the house
by an overwhelming vote, is now be-
fore the senate.
Evidently Mr.. Busch fears the re-
suit of an election on the prohibition
issue, although he says:
I'VE have so much confidence in
the good sense and liberality of the
people of Missouri that we are not
planning to move from st. Louis and
the state. We do not want to move
from the city, where our worldwide
business has been built up.
81, personally, would deeply regret
leaving ST. Louis, wholly apart from
considerations of business, because I
love the city; but, of course, if we
are forced to go, We would not only
move ourselves across the river, but
to every point in the country posi-
Bile.
Our industry is a perfect legiti-
mate one. 1t is one of the greatest
revenue payers to the national, state
and city governments and one of the
largest employers of labor; there
fore, why should it not be. main
tanned and SuStained?"

QUESTION Of D|V|-
DEMOS
WILL STEEL TRUST PASS QUAR-
TERLY DIVIDEND OF 2 PER
CENT ON COMMON STOCK Is
QUESTION IN WALL STREET,

New York, April 29.-Will the d.
rectors of the United States Steel cor
porat1on at their meeting today decide
to pass the quarterly dividend on the
common stock of that gigantic cor
poration? This is the question that
is being asked in Wall street today.
So representative of the general
state of the business of the country
is the business of the United States
Steel corporation, and so great is the
army of the holders of its securities,
that any development affecting the
standing of the steel stocks is of the
greatest interest to the country at
large. That the passing of the per
cent dividend would be followed by
general reductions on the part of
other companies is regarded as likely
enough-for which reason the meet
ing of the steel directors tomorrow
is looked forward to eagerly by the
holders of all kinds of industrial COM
mon stocks.
Estimates of the net earnings of
| the United States Steel corporation
for the first quarter of the year vary
all the way from SIS, 100000 to $780,
100000 with Pittsburg claiming that
the former figures are more apt to
be right than the latter. In the last
quarter of 1908 interest and sinking
fund requirements and the preferred
and common dividends amounted to
SIG, 100000 and in addition sink
ing fund, depreciation and reserve"
items were s5,214,O00, total of
s21.374. 200. So that unless the high
est estimates are exceeded, or the
Iamount charged off greatly reduced,
the common dividend hardly will
have been earned during the past
quarter.
But in view of the fact that the
company's big surplus has been &C
cumulated against just such time as
this, the fact that the dividend on the
common may not have been earned in
the last quarter by no means proves
that nothing will be paid. Stability
of dividends as we'll as of prices has
become the fixed policy of the United
States Steel corporation during the
past few years and in 1906 and 1907,
when 14.3 per cent and 1876 per cent
respectively were earned for the COM
mon stock, the 2 per cent dividend
was not raised. That was the time
of the surplus accumulation, and the
large fund then put in the treasury is
now available to keep up dividends
when earnings are poor.
With the big surplus on hand out
of which the quarters common stock
dividend requirement of $2,550,000
so easily can be taken, the action of
the directors at today's meeting will
be governed more by the general out
look than by current conditions. For
the second quarter the outlook for net
earnings based on known orders is
not bright, but decided improvement
is expected when once the tariff is set
tied and the manufacturers know
where they stand,
