American Zinc.

Judging from the action Of the stock

stock dividend on American Zinc com
mon shares was either q disappoint-
mcut 20 the traders or 20 indefinite, as
published on the news tickers, as 20

holders as 10 just what ic meant in
dollars and cents. According 70 Bos-
Ton adwces, the directors authorized
an issue q 100000 shares of per
cent preferred stock. which, the report
was, would be distributed to the stock
holders in the form Of stock dividend
.u lieu Of cash. This would mean 90
per cent in stock, and as the when, as
and if market value Of the new stock
was quoted in Boston at 70, the Stats
ticians figured out that the common
stock holders would get $3.50 in new
preferred stock for each share Of the
common But the action OF the stock
certainly didn't indicate any such a
melon cutting. After selling as high
as Oh. Zine dropped toward the close,

FRISCO PEACE
MEETING FAILS
Bankers Won't Accede to B. F
Yoakum's Demands.

A conference yesterday between B. F..
Yoakum and bankers active in the re
organization Of the 81. Louis & San
Francisco Railroad was preceded by ru-
mors that an attempt was TO be made
to settle the differences existing be-
tween the two factions. Those in at
tendance, in addition 10 Yoakum, were
James Speyer, representing the general
lien bondholders, and Charles II. Sabln,
president Of the Guaranty Trust Com
pany and chairman Of the stockholders
protective committee.
The meeting resulted, however, in no
decision on the part Of the reorganiZers
TO meet any of Yoakum's demands. As
the situation now stands, the reorgani-
cation managers will file on March % r
bill Of foreclosure. Those familiar
with the proceedings are confident that
the property will be sold under the re
funding mortgage.
The final date for deposit of all the
securities involved in the reorganta-
tion plan is April Q.

FACTORIES AHEAD
National Output Is Now
Double That of Any
Other Country.

The output Of manufactures in the
United States has more than doubled
since 1900. An analysis made By the
foreign trade department Of the Ma
tionGl City Bank Of the 1915 census re-
turns thus far published indicates that
the total output OF manufactures in
1914 will aggregate about $4,000 'ooO,-
coo, against less than Sl2,O00,000, 900
shown by the 1900 census.
These returns represent close 70 300
cities and towns distributed over the
country and show an increase Of about
l. per cent in the value Of manufact-
ures produced when compared with the
production OF the same cities for the
census year Of 1910. The gross output
of the entire country was s2O,tt2,-
0Ot 900.
According to the City Bank, the man
ufaoturcs OF the United States are now
double those of any other country IN
the world. IN manufactures exported
the same authority says this country
also leads. Normally, however, the
United States ranks third among the
nations in the expectation Of manufact-
ures. being exceeded in normal years
by both Great Britain and Germany.
zone especially interesting feature
in the study Of our census returns now
being received concludes the City
Ba1k's statement. els not only the
marked advance in wages paid for la
Dor. but a continuation OF the tendency
to substitute machine work for hand
labor wherever practicable. The num-
Der Of wage earners reported by the
returns thus far received shows an in
crease OF about per cent over the
1910 census, while the wages paid show
an increase OF 10 per cent.
"Tho increased use Of machinery
over human labor is suggested by the
fact that capital invested in manufact-
uring allows sn increase Of 26 per cent
and the value Of output II per cent,
while the number Of wage esrners en-
ployed has increased but about 7 per
cent"

SPECULATIVE Shipments Hurt.

One of tho several causes Of the rail
road freight congestion-the problem
which has been worrying both the car
rers and the shippers for many weeks
has been what are known as specu-
lative shipments. Railroad men are
complaining bitterly OF the tendency
toward playing the market in COM
modities," as they put that Is 10
say, converting railroad cars and yards
INFO storage warehouses. In the opin-
ION Of railway officials, this practice 10
not fair % other shippers, because il
prevents the railroads from rendering
properly 20 the public the service for
which they exist, the service Of trans
portat;on. Great quantities Of ma
tcr.al have been shipped IS specula-
ton without arrangements having been
made FOR disposal on arrival
