T0SPEND MORE

New York, Jan. 9:-By a practi-
cally unanimous vote the stockhold-
ers of the American Smelter and
Refining Company have authorized
an increase of $4,000, 900 in the
capital stock of that corporation and
Endorsed the financial plan submit
ted by the Board of Directors. The
fact that proxies were received from
over $500 individuals representing
so per cent. of the stockholders,
whose average holdings are about
sixty-1ve shares each, is accepted as
an evidence in the financial district
that small holders of securities are
beginning to show greater interest
in the affairs of corporations in
which they have invested their
money.
In a statement to the stockholders
President Daniel Guggenheim said
that plans had been devised for re-
ceipt of ores and furnace metal from
abroad, and that the reduction
works located in the United States,
by reason of their enormous capac-
fty, were capable of smelling and re-
filming ores shipped from every quar-
ter of the globe. The company is
now In receipt of ore and bullion
from Africa, Australia, South Amer
lea, Spain, Japan, Central America,
China and Alaska. 1t is said that
the new financial plan was designed
to prepare adequately for the future
of the company and to fund the debt
of the American Shelters Securities
Company. For this purpose the Sc
curities Company will Issue $751;
100000 six per cent. ifteen-year
gold debehture bonds which the
Smelling Company will acquire. The
bonds SO acquired will be %converti-
bic Into common stock of the Smelt-
ing Company. The plan provides for
the financing of the Securities Com
pany's floating debt at a cost of less
than S156,000 a year, and it relieves
the company of the payment for five
years of $400, 900 a year on account
Of the purchase price of the Balti-
more Refining Company.
