TIN BUYERS HOPE
 FOR RENEWAL OF
 SHIPMENTS TO US,
Barron Financial News.

New York, Aug. 15.-A reorganiza- ton of the International Steam Pump
 Co. is probable owing to the unfavor-
 able state of the company's finances and the uncertainty of it's ability to
 meet the interest due September on its $9. 590,000 5 per cent. 20 year sink
 ing fund bonds. In the year ended
 September 80, 1913, the company
 earned its full interest charges with
 $215,659 to spare. In the current year
 1t is improbable that the company
 will earn more than its fixed charges,
 if it does as well as that Question of
 the payment of the September inter
 est will be determined at a meeting of
 the directors to be held next week If
 the omission of the interest payment
 Is decided upon. there Is still a period of three months grace intervening be-
 tween the company and receiveraflip.
 In the meantime plan of reorgasAza ton may be adopted which will enable the company to weather the existing difficulty and put it in position to take
 advantage of betterment in business when it comes to resume it's previous position in the pump trade.
 The meteoric rise in tin prices since the tie up of ocean commerce will prove g considerable burden to can man ufacturers. but the leading con cerns of this character, the American Can Co.,, has enough tin on hand to carry it through for from two to three
 months When the war broke out, tin plate manufacturers foresaw that one of the results would be the shutting off of tin shipments to this country, and there was a scramble for the spot product.
 The American Can Go buys tin largely by contract and sells a great part of it's output on the same basis. Trade authorities look to see some ar rangement of credits and shipping. ia : cilities within the next sixty days to enable the resumption of tin imports.

provisions Of . bill passed last year
each association must pay a fee oi
$40 with the fling Of Its annual re

state more than $4,000. In addition
to this, there is another fee based on
the assets of the associations, which
will bring the total revenue up tc
more than enough to pay all the oper
