BIG BLOCK OF STOCK
 HELD IN NORWICH From Quarter to Hatf Million Dollars of the Swift Company VIII Take Share of New Capital.

Ii is understood that the Norwich stockholders of Swift 6 Go. are talk ing their share of the additional cap- ital recently voted by the concern. They are, allowed one share of the new stock for every four shares of the old. An estimate of the local holdings .of that company places the Norwich capital invested at between a. quarter and half million. This would mean an increase in Swift holdings here from $60,000 to over $100,000, the increased capital being fifteen million
 President Swift recently said to the shareholders that the company's re- suit sheets show less than per cent, profit on sales during 1910. A profit is made on by-products which were made before we had learned how to utilize them by the aid of modern machinery and scientific handling. There is no industry in which the selling price follows the cost for closely and with so small margin of profit. During periods of plenteous supply and lower prices for live stock and finished prod uct. the producer may be dissatisfied and critieises the packer. During the periods of short supply and conse- quently higher prices for livestock and finished product, the consumer may be dissatisfied and criticises the packer.

NEW LONDON NAVY YARD COST $1s,15e
One of the Five Which Secretary of
 Navy Wants Abandoned.

Five naval stations on the Atlantic seaboard will probably be abandoned as the result of the recommendation of Secretary of the Navy Meyer. The house naval committee Wednesday voted to carry out MT. Meyers wish in this matter. The stations and the average cost per annum for the last five years were San Juan, P. R., $95,- 900; Culebra, F. R., S30,1 Sacketts Harbor. N. Y, s365; Port Royal, s. G., $24,351, and New London, Conn, $13,- 156.
 These stations are no longer useful to the navy, according to MT. Meyer, and should be abandoned, the equip ment transferred to other nations and the land sold. The naval committee will insert provision in the naval appropriation bill authorizing MT. Meyer to make the sales to the best advantage of the government.
