Besides these. the Porto Rico Ameri-
can Tobacco Company has paid scrip
dividend of 20 per cent. which bears
interest IT per cent. and il PAYABLE
in three years in cash or stock. at the
option Of the company. It's present
cash value is. therefore. indetermin-
able.
The r Lorillard Company was paid
dividends of 10 per cent. amounting
To S1.5l5.560, on it's common stock. Lig-
gett & Myers common has paid this
month a dividend of per cent. or
S644.S92. These are not Included in the
table, for the reason that the stock
of these two companies was not dis
tributed to the American shareholders.
but was paid for by them in cash at
par at an expense OF s36.651.925.
As against this the American Tobac-
co Company made a special distribu-
ton of cash In september at the rate
Of % per cent on its stock. This
amounted to $S.04S.4S0. This cannot be
included among the dividends, because
IL represented a distribution of prop
erty. just as the distribution of stock
did. 1t was the proceeds of the sale
Of certain securities which the court
ordered sold. rather than distributed,
and was therefore a diminution of the
assets Of the company. In a sense, 1t
might be set off against the s36,551.92o
paid in for the Lorillard and Liggett
& Myers stock. if the dividends on
them are to be included in the calcula-
ton.
The American Tobacco Company also
distributed in September. not under the
decree, but voluntarily, the 1900
shares of the American Machine and
Foundry Company. This company
makes repairs and repair parts for the
American. Liggett & Myers and p.
Lorillard. and IL was decided that as
they were now separate II was better
that it should not be owned by the
American. This stock. however. has
as yet paid no dividends. although,
on the basis of the earnings for the
fiscal year ended last June, its profits
should be more than s per cent.
Taking the dividends as given in
the table and adding per cent for
four months interest on the cash dis
tribution II $sO4s,4s0 gives n total
Of s9.9O7. 3o5. which may fairly be conf
pared with dividends of the American
in past years These dividends ran as
follows: 1905. 20 per cent; 1900. 2'2
per cent; 1907, % per cent; 1908, 32's
per cent. 1909. 80 per cent; 1910, ="
per cent, and 1911. 20 per cent The
last was for six months. after which
dividends were suspended because or
the disintegration process The 1910
dividend. therefore, amounted TO $1S.-
O72.s6o. as against less than $1,000
goo for all the property this year.
As dividend paying by many u the
companies was not really under way
until the last half of this year. ana
some began even later. this s1o'oOo,eeo
will be materially increased during
next wear If the same rates are main
tained. The prospect is that they VIII
be increased rather than diminished
when the companies have added TO
their working capital and SURPRISES
TO such extent as they deem advisso pie

Tobacco common received in the way
