GOVERNMENT BONDS.
COPPER COMPANIES
INCREASE DIVIDENDS
Utah Stock Now on So Basis
$3.50 Extra for Butte.

Leading copper companies announced
yesterday substantial increases in divi-
dends from larger earnings. due mainly
TO the greater demand caused by the
war. The Utah Copper Company, which
three months ago declared a quarterly
payment Of 81 a share, increased It's
disbursement to stockholders TO $3.50
quarterly, placing the stock on Sc
annual basis.
The Butte & Superior Copper Com
pany declared the regular quarterly
dividend Of 70 cents share and an ex-
ira dividend of $3.50. Three months
ago s. extra was declared, while in
the previous quarter the extra dividend
amounted to $3.50. The extra dividends
this year bring the total for 1915 up
TO SIS a share.
The porphyry copper companies de-
clared dividends as follows: Chino
Copper, 81 quarterly, an increase of %
cents; Ray Consolidated, 30 cents
quarterly. an increase of l21s cents;
Nevada Consolidated, 3712 cents quar-
terly and 1914 cents extra.
Owing TO the knowledge in Wall
Street that the earnings of the big
copper companies were running at al
enormous rate yesterdays increases
were not unexpected. The Utah divi-
dend was the only announcement to
be made public before the close OF the
market and the stock closed at .80a4
the high price Of the day. Satisfaction
was expressed over the action on the
other dividends, but the increases were
not known until after 3 o'clock.

One OF the most tangible illustra-

ing deficit was s45,4S7, compared with
q surplus in 1914 of S2379.776. The

PIG IRON OUTPUT
AT HIGH LEVEL
Production Now at the Rate of
More than 100000
Tons a Year.
Tons a Year.

Pig iron production at the rate OF
100000 tons a year IS reported b.
trade publications. Blast furnaces,
however, are showing the effect Of hard
driving and the number active may be
expected % decrease. For November
the output was more than 10000 tons
q day, exceeding the record set the
month before. The price OF lake iron
ore has risen.
"The Iron Age" says: THE difficulty
Of forcing pig iron production above
the present rate appears in the stats
tics for November. At 9,O37,30s tons
for last month, the output was lOl,-
pa tons q day, against 3,l25.40l In Oc-
tober, or 100 .822 tons a day. The steel
company furnaces could not keep up
the pace they made IN the October
strain for high records. Some Of them
may be expected to 90 out soon for re-
lining.
ION December tho capacity Of the
284 active blast furnaces was lO3,O35
tons a day, against Ol,olJ tons day
for 276 furnaces on November !, this
last rate being based on the UNUSUAL
outputs Of October. Production IS now
at the rate of 100000 tons year,
allowing 100000 tons for charcoal pig
iron"
"The Iron Trade Review" will say
Announcement Of the determination
Of next seasons Lake Superior ore
prices at an advance Of 70 cents over
the present year, has stood out prin-
cipallv in a week that has witnessed
the continued rise Of iron and steel
prices under the maintenance Of ire
mendous demand. The new prices are
the highest since 1910 and have been
exceeded only By three previous years.
Forward pig iron values already have
discounted this higher cost, and as a
growing scarcity OF early metal is be
coming more apparent, further ad-
vances are being established in this
product"

GINNING REPORT
ADVANCES COTTON
March Contracts Reach New
High Ground-Reaction
ar the Close.

A bullish view Of the census ginnr
figures and strong Liverpool cables
spired buying movement at the ops s.
ing Of the cotton market yesterday
which sent prices into new high ground
for the current advance, with March
selling at i3c, or apparently 81 bale
above the low level reached on the de-
cline of last month. The small ginning
figures were the signal for heavy gen
eral realizing, and reactions followed,
with March selling of to 1850. The
general list closed steady, net 2 points
lower to 2 points higher.
The census report, showing OIL ,4S3
bales ginned to December /. was al
most exactly in line with recent pre-
dictions, and was considered by local
bulls as pointing 70 a total lint crop
of around II 100000 bales. This natu-
rally strengthened confidence In
small estimate from the government on
Friday, but it appeared from the &C
ton Of the market that many recent
buyers had determined 10 take profits
on bullish ginning returns without
waiting for the government estimate.
The market opened firm at an adj
vance of to IL points, and was prob
ably as much influenced by the strength
in Liverpool as by the bullish view Of
ginning returns. It seemed that the
English trade were becoming anxious
20 attract increased shipments from
the South, for spot sales there corr
tinued heavy, and the advance in fut-
ures was sufficient 20 cause q further
widening of the differences between
the two markets.
While Liverpool remained open ac-
tive realizing was readily absorbed
around the local ring, as there was
heavy straddle buying 10 cover the
short end Of such operations here, but
after the close abroad shut out arbi-
TRACE operations the local selling made
more Of an impression on pric 3.
Southern and Wall Street longs were
heavy sellers, and as prices eased of
some reactionary sentiment developed.
while a few stop orders were uncovered
during the progress Of the decline
which carried active months some II
TO IS points below the high level Of the
morning. Trade interests were mod
crate buyers on a scale down. while
there was some fresh demand inspired
by reports OF an increasing spot bust
ness in the South, and the close showed
rallies of or 8 points from the lowest.
Exports for the day were 4,502 bales,
making 1,902,04l so far this season,
against l,674,55T last year. Southern
spot markets as officially reported were
o points lower 10 25 points higher, the
feature being the heavy sales at Hous-
ton. amounting TO 1899 bales
