State Department Officials Prepared
to! Take Up With German Govern
ment Last Necessary Step to Sup
ply American Textile Mills.

WASHINGTON, April Estate De-
! night to take up with the German gov
! eminent the last step necessary to
supply American textile mills with
two cargoes of German dycs,uTs
bought before March /. The way was
cleared to-day by the announcement
that Great Britain had agreed to per-
init these cargocs under certain con
ditions to come through from Rotter-
dam.
AS the position previously taken by
the German government has been that
II would permit dye shipments in ex-
change for cotton or copper. some of
iicials believed there would be little
difficulty in getting these two cargoes
out of Germany to Rotterdam. The
state Department will cooperate with
the mills agent in efforts TO complete
the transaction.
TO BE ALLOWED TO PASS
WITHOUT INTERFERENCE
y preliminary study OF the messages
to-day indicated that the cargoes
were already at Rotterdam The fol-
lowing statement OF the Commerce De-
partment shows, however, that a anal
negotiation is necessary:

American ambassador at London states

Alliance, g. II. Burr. has received per-
mission from the British authorities 10
make arrangements ro- moving two

10 the United States via Rotterdam.
The British government will ALLOW the
vessels to pass without interference.
provided that the vessels sail under
neutral flags; that shipments are made
from Rotterdam. and that the dye
sturs are consigned TO William Eed =

MAY Be Belated Christmas.

Until last year Baltimore & Onto
paid dividends at the rate of per cent
for eight years, show
ing a deficit after dividends only IN
1914. when gross earnings decreased
5000 600 because of disastrous floods,
and operating expenses, for the same
reason, were largely increased. Nat
urally. in this time when railroad earn
ings generally are running heavy and
business throughout the country is rap
idly moving toward prosperity, there as
much talk of dividend increases, and
lust as Street veterans think Of ST.
Paul as q per cent issue they speak
OF Baltimore as a 6 per cent dividend
PAYER temporarily out of its sphere.
The directors do not meet for action on
the dividend until January 9 of next
year, which is nearly seven weeks
away. They ought TO have pretty
good idea by then Of how the first half
Of the new fiscal year turned out and a
reasonable basis for forecasting the re
suits Of the following six months. If
they had a dividend declaration to
make now instead of in January it is
possible that caution might restrain
them from restoring the per cent
rate until another six months had
passed and IL could be seen whether
the improvement in general business
was likely 20 be continuous. BY Janu-
sry, however, they ought 70 know fair
ly well which way the wind is going

Erance's New Loan.

TIE new French government loan IS
beng put out at a price 70 yield It's
purehasers in France about 5% per
cent. American purchasers, however,
would find their yield much greater be-
cause they have the advantage of a
discount In French exchange. In New
York now a 1OO-franc check payable in
Paris costs about S16.S5, whereas in
normal times IL costs about $3.50. Or
70 put 10 another way, 500 will buy

all II would bring in Paris was little
less than $40 francs. II ought, there

viso is a big one-French exchange
again turns in favor Of that country
before he needs 10 sell the bonds and
bring his money back. As a combina-
ion Of investment and speculation com
ened the opportunity must be tempting
TO many. though so long as exchange is
against France one would have TO keep
ones interest abroad because Of the
loss that would result through con-
verting 10 into dollars. There would
twsys be chance OF investing II prof
rably IN France. however, and II there
was certainty that the Allies would

Plum Tree Blossoming.

Baltimore & Ohio's earnings for DC
tober made a brilliant showing: Half
Of the gross increase shown for the
four months ended with October was
scored in that single month-no less
than s2O4S,737. The gain in net, too,
was large, amounting to S1,202, BIZ,
against a little less than S2,OOO,OOO IN
the preceding three months taken to-
eether. Net operating revenue in those
four months increased no less than So
i94,137, or an amount equal to more
than 2 per cent on the outstanding
common stock. If it could keep on in
creasing that way for the rest of the
fiscal year the company could afford to
paw 6 per cent in dividends instead Of
5. and at the end of the year 1t would
have as much left over as it'had paid
out. That is, there could be carried TO
profit and loss surplus, after the pay
ment of per cent dividend, about
as much money as was spent on pre-
ferred and common dividends together
last year.
