The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1915-07-23

All iron and steel stocks were
strong and active. United States Steel
common sold at IS Saturday morning,
its highest level in Is months, also
it's highest record as a non-dividend
stock, and higher than it ever sold,
even as a dividend stock, until 1909.
The earnings report Of the Corpora
ton will be made public next week
Tuesday. Wall street estimates total
net earnings Of about $4,000, 900,
which means a surplus after pre-
ferred dividends of little over $10,-
0O0,000.-The Corporation has not
made such favorable showing in
surplus since the third quarter of
1913, as is contemplated for the June
quarter. Dividend action on the
common stock is not expected, how
ever, in view of the deficits of past
quarters.
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1915-07-23

Once upon a time Steel common
sold as low as 3-8; it has been up to
"a 7-8 since, in 1909, and got down to
SO in February, this year. The burst
of enthusiasm over iron and steel
trade prospects finds reflection in
Steel commons advance, for this issue
is Wall streets log book of steel trade
conditions. The Corporation is cred
tied with operating within 10 per cent
of maximum capacity. It has not
sought, and, SO far as known, has not
booked any large war orders. But
just now it is doing large business
in basic metal for delivery to other
manufacturers who have undertaken
to produce shrapnel and other war
commodities, as well as supplying ma
terial for plant extensions and i'm
provements to these same manufac-
turers.

Rounds or Less

Havana, April 1.-Fans of the sport
ing world who have seen Johnson and

that all of his excess fat is removable
and that he expects to tin the scales
at about 225 pounds on the day of the
bout.
