Seaboard Air Line
To Pay Dividends
Preferred Stockholders Likely to Get
Profits Before 1914-Bonds
Decline on News.

NEW YORK, oct 4.-There is
general expectation that dividend
will be paid on Seaboard Air Line
preferred stock before the end of the
year. If this is true, then the recent
decline of more than point in the
roads adjustment mortgage income
bonds may be taken as evidence that
such payment will in the opinion
of the bondholders, weaken the posi-
ton of the bonds.
Since the Seaboard was reorgan-
lied in 1903 II has shown aggregate
net income after interest charges in
the four years TO June 80. 1913, Of
$685. 900. This was equivalent to
one and one fourth times the full in
terest paid on the S25,000000 adjust
ment bonds. and it was equivalent 10
average annual earnings Of $50 per
cent on the sea. s94,10 preferred stock
outstanding. In only one year, 1912,
was it equivalent TO less than 4 per
cent on the preferred. But this in
come is not all available for divI-
dends
out of it has to be charged the an
nual allotment OF discount on bonds,
which most roads deduct along with
other fixed charges before showing
net income.

NEW YORK. Oct. 4.-During tba
eighteen years of its incorporated OK
istence, the Virginia Carolina Chen
zeal Company has paid its s per cep+
preferred dividend regularly and
something on the common stock earb
year, with the exception of the Nv.
year period from 1904 to 1908 incIn-
sive.
Like the American Cotton Oil Cam
pany, the Virginia Carolina ChemfcaI
has followed the policy of making the
yearly distributions to its stockbold-
ers close to earnings.
Following the big year of 1902 in
which $4.75 was paid on the common
stock. earnings fell off in 1903. and
after charges. preferred dividends
and payments of $3.50 on the com
mon stock, there remained a balance
of only $2I696, so that the next wear
saw the common dividend passed
Originally there was $4,000 GOA
preferred stock outstanding. and S27.-
9S4,400 common. In 1905 the prefer
red was increased to $4,000. 900 and
in 1912 to 10000 900. During the eX-
istence of the company tbs preferred

the attitude of the State Legislatures

MORE CANNED

ATLANTAHOMES
Chamber of Commerce Revela-
tons of Dirt in Diaries Increase
Domestic Consumption.

Agitation by the Chamber of Com
merce against insanitary dairies in
Atlanta and revelations of the Cham
ber's investigators have stimulated
the demand for condensed and evap-
GRATED milk. according to w NJ.
Burke, of the H. II. Whitcomb &
Burke Co. No. 149 Madison avenue,
grocery brokers.
Sales of condensed and evaporat-
ed milk have increased remarkably
within the past two months. and have
shown a gradual increase for a year"
says Mr.. Burke. Use of canned milk
has not doubled or anything like that,
but | would venture to say that
twelve cans are sold now where ten
were sold last year.
The increase is likely to hold, too,
for once a consumer gets used to con-
denSed milk he never quits it. OF
course the taste differs a little from
fresh milk, and at first this is dis
concerning To those who become ia
miliar with it, however this faint
flavor is rather agreeable than 9TH
erwise.
Bakers and confectioners are the
greatest users of condensed milk, but
the Atlanta retail grocers are buying
more and more from their jobbers, re-
fiecting a stimulated demand from
the homes.
II attribute this to the nauseating
revelations of the condition of At
lanta diaries made by the investigat-
ing committee of the Chamber of
Commerce.
"One thing is certain, condensed
milk is pure 1t must be thoroughly
sterile and free from germs, or ii
will not keep. To express it another
way, the process of condensation nee
essitates complete sterilization. The
milk the Gamers use, too, comes
from the finest Jersey herds. In
Louisiana and Florida where cattle
ticks and mosquitoes make dairying
a hazardous pursuit in large sections
condensed milk is used almost exclu-
siVely.

NEW YORK. oct. wall street
hears further reiteratiOn of story
which went the rounds a few weeks

had been instructed by Treasury Off
Gals to delve into letter files of cOun-

The purpose of this unusual opera
ton was asCribed to an intense desire
on the part of Treasury officers to
learn beyond peradventure whether
country institutions had received
from influential banks in the cities
correspondence urging them to exert
every possible effort toward discredit-
ing the administrations currency

1t will be recalled that a charge
that such an effort was being made

the land damages. The former plans
called for an expenditure of between
