NEW YORK INVESTIGATION
SHOWS ADVANCE IN PRICES
FOLLOWS INCREASED EARN
INGs; INFLATED STOCK.

New York, Dec. 29.-The investiga-
tion into the so-called milk trust was
given an added impetus today by a
startling discovery made by Marvyn
Scudder, an accountant employed by
the state to go over the books of the
larger milk companies in the CITY,
Scudder stated the books of the
Borden company showed that more
than $15,000,000 of the $20,000,000 of
capital stock represented trade
marks and good will" which the ac-
countant said represented nothing tan
gfble in the way of assets, On the
company's capitalization dividend of
+ per cent was paid on preferred and
10 per cent on the common stock
Increased Price Not Justified.
Scudder said the books showed a
surplus of $S,S24,23O made in ten
years and Special Deputy Attorney
General Coleman is preparing to ask
the company that if such profits are
possible with milk at eight cents what
Justification had the companies for
saying they are losing money at that
price and had to raise the price to
nine.
Surplus Double Capital Stock.
Scudder further showed that of the
ESheffield farms the company's capital
ization OF $5O0,O0O over 100000 was
for good will, ETC." The Sheffield com
pany paid Is per cent dividends last
year and to date this year % per cent
on its stock and It's surplus was $685..
672, nearly double the capital stock.
Enormous profits were shown to have
been made by the Alexander Camp.
bell milk company at eight cents a
quart.
This Years Profit Greater.
Scudder also submitted figures from
the books of the Borden company
showing that during nine months of
this year ending Sept. 80, the com
pany's clear profit in New York and
Chicago was s1,076,772. exceeding by
$322,947 the net profits Of the same
branch of business in the correspond
ing months of 1908.
