Higher priced Offerings Prove

Few changes wsre made in the

Reports are being received from the
mainland which GO to show that the
American Sugar Refining Company is
not enjoying very fine financial year,
tho changes in the tariff have had a
deterrent effect on its business. An
Atlantic publication in discussing the
condition Of the company says:
Fer this reason American Sugar
stockholders do rot expect show
ing Of profits much better than the
earnings of the per cent dividend on
the $45, COO, geo preferred The surplus
after preferred dividends for the $45..
000.000 common will be small roba-
bly, not over l per cent
This does not raise any question OF
the continuance OF the common stock
dividend. In the three years 1911, 1912
and 1913, the American Sugar Refining
Company has earned a balance of 35
per cent for its common stock. or IA
per cent more than the amount dis
tributed in dividends
]. The average therefore has been a
good enc, and directors have every
confidence that this average will con
tinue to be satisfactory.
1t is the history of the sugar busi-
ness that two poor wears never come
in succession. Barring reversal of
precedent, therefore. it is reasonable
to lock for sharp up-turn in Ameri-
can Sugar earnings during 1914.
The company is Of course
in a wonderfully strcng position
as respects cash and quick as
sets. It's working capital to-
tails $40 ,000. geo. Of which more than
so per cent is in cash. American SUI
gar and Arbuekie are the only two
sugar refining companies which are
continuously free from the necessity
Of borrowing money in the open mar
ket. They are usually lenders through
their banks CT deposit.
1t viii probably be 1916 before the
sugar industry gets really settled down
to the changes created by the new
tariff. A Is per cent cut in raw sugar
goes into effect March l. and win be
followed BY further reductions until
sugar goes on the free list in 1916.
But curtailment of sugar growing
which free sugar is bringing Is ex-
pected to begin to make itself decisive
" felt in 1915 and should be appar-
ent by the end Of this year. In the
meantime the outlook is for slightly
higher market for raws during the bal
ance of this year, and an advancing
