TAMPA, Oct. 30.-Managers of eX-
cursion lines out of this city protest
strongly against the passage of the
seamen's servitude law. They point
out that with short runs in the COM

forcing a boat to carry lifeboats suf-
flcient for all of its passengers.

200 to meet a possible passenger car
rying capacity of 900. =

Question Of the Hour.

Among investors who have been pur-
chasing copper stocks the question OF the
hour is us the copper market artihcial?'
Viewing the past performances and the
manipulation 10 which copper stocks have
been subjected, particularly Amalgama.ed
Copper, there is good reason for appre-
hension on the part Of the public ana the
trade. Copper men who are supposed TO
know the subject say that the steadily
Increasing demand for capital for copper
in Europe and a growing demand in the
United States are sufficiently strong to
offset new copper production and ABSORB
the present rate OF output. They say that
the many mines are near the period When
decreases instead Of increases may be ex-
peeted, and that new production OF copper
OF marked importance will not be In evi-
dence IN the near future. At the best the
question is debatable. and until evidences
Of s.eater buying power are exhibited
copper stocks will be justly or unJustE
sndsr suspicion.

BIG OFFERING Of BONDS.
American Tel. and Tel. Author.
ICES S67,000,000 Issue.

The second big bond offering Of the new
year was announced yesterday when the
directors OF the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company authorized an issue
Of $67, 1900 convertible ~ per cent bonds
dated March l. 1913. running for twenty
years The new bonds are convertible into
stock at $40 a share after March |, 1915,
and up to March I, 1925, and will be offered
to stockholders in the proportion of -
per cent Of their holdings. This makes the
total OF bonds authorized within week
$780, go. 600, as il was only last Friday that
the Baltimore e. Ohio directors announced
an issue of $50, 2J00 90 conyertlbles bearing
the same rate Of interest and maturing
within a similar period.
Yesterdays announcement was sur
prise 10 the financial district, as II was
not believed that the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company would make pub
lie its financial programme for 1918 and
1914 until later on in the year. In cir
cular TO stockholders President Vail cX-
plains that the proceeds from the sale OF
the new bonds will he used to provide for
construction and other corporate require
ments. The right to subscribe will expire
at the close OF business on Monday, Feb
ruary II. The circular says:
The surplus earnings OF the company
for 1919 December estimated), after the
payment OF s per cent dividends on the
stock, were approximately 100000, show
Ing a large margin over interest (Which
VIII be about 100000 on the proposed
issue Of bonds. 1t Is expected, however,
that the earnings from the proceeds OF
the proposed bonds will more than meet
the additional interest charges, so that
the surplus earnings will not be drawn
on for the purpose.
The American Telephone and Telegraph
Company has an outstanding capitalize
ton OF I322,9oo.cc0. The last financing
done by the company was in June 1911,
when $50, 0o00 900 was offered 10 sharchold-
ers carrying valuable rights. II Is esti-
mated that the rights attaching to the
new convertibies will have market
value OF between 81 so and 81 80 "A share
The new bonds will be large and Of
fered In denominations # 800 and $50,
as we'll as 5000. to give small share
holders an equal opportunity to subscribe.
As the company has 52,CoO stockholders,
5000 OF whom own less than twenty
shares each, the advantage of this ar
rangement is at once seen. The bankers
who have arranged to underwrfte the
new issue are J. =. Morgan & Co. and
