Big DECREASE in
Steel EARNINGS
QUARTERLY REPORT OF TRUST
SHOWS SERIOUS FALLING OFF
IN PROFITS

New York, April 26.-The quarterly
report of the United States steel
corporation for the period ending
March 81, just issued, shows earnings
Of $23, ,203 and net earnings of $780,
001,817.
The gross figures are considerably
below popular estimates and com
pare with $25,99O,97S in the previous
quarter and $37616,S7O in the cor
responding quarter of 1910. They
are the lowest, in fact, since those of
the same quarter in 1909, which were
$22,921,26S. .
Because of the low earnings and
various heavy expenditures, including
dividends, interest. etc., the surplus
net income for the quarter is reduced
to $31,155 as against $11,532,531 in
March of last year. Analysis of the
report shows that the quarters total
was materially affected by the small
business in January. In that month
gross earnings fell to $5,S69,416, but
in February they increased to $780,
92S, and in March to $10,467,S59.
All the outgoing officers were re-
elected with the exception of Vice
President W. B. Dickson, who recent
ly rendered his resignation and whose
successor was not named. The regular
ly quarterly dividend of 1 9-4 per
cent on the preferred shares and 1
IA per cent on the common, involv-
ing payments of s12,65S,7OO, were de-
clared

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inHamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachlan Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closet. deaf
ness is the result, and unless the In
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of 10 are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
