nual meeting yesterday. s7.O5O,O 900.
This Is equal to LIS per cent on the
outstanding capital Of $4,000, 900.
These profits compare with 1856 per
cent earned in 1909 and 1850 in 1908.
The company paid per cent in divi-
dends, leaving $2,S50,00O to be car
ried to surplus. which item now stands
at s24,S50,00O.
The stockholders voted to increase
the capital to s75.OOO.OOO. Share

s27,O46,017 the previous year.
Among the liabilities, bills payable
Increased $10,622,550. This Of course,
Is offset by the gain in quick assets.
l.. f. Swift, president of the COM
pany, said among other things to the
stockholders:
Swift & Co.'s result sheets show
less than per cent profit on sales
during 1910. A profit is made on by
products, which were wasted 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 more
closely aad with so small margin Of
profit.
During periods Of plenteous sup
ply. and lower prices for live stock
and finished product, the producer
may be dissatisfied and criticises the
packer.
During the periods Of short sup
ply, and consequently higher prices
for live stock and finished product,
the consumer may be dissatisfied and
criticise the packer.
Thus 1t is seen that the packe' Is
iadeed "middleman," but the fact -
lost sight of that with varying costs
and selling prices the packer re-
ceives a uniformly small margin 81.
profit on sales While Swift g. Co.'S
profit is under per cent on sales for
the year, we believe, considering all
conditions, that this result is satisIac-
tory.
The report shows that a reccr
corn crop has been harvested in the
United States, which should be graft
flying to cattle raisers and packecs as
well as those interested in indus.r .rles
dependent upon the crops OF the coup-
try, and l believe the prospects are
reasonably good for satisfactory busi-
ness for the year to come.
I'VE are obliged to pay higher
prices for raw material than formerly,
aad 1t takes more money to do busi-
ness now than in times past. 1t also
takes more capital for construction of
plants and buildings and the operation
OF facilities necessary to handle and
keep our various products up to the
hlgh standard requirements, and your
board OF directors think it advisable
that the capital stock be increased

allow the bran to part with its gluten.
