Americans Are Dull,

LONDON. July 26.-The feature of
the stock market. which was quiet
again today. was the strength in
United States Steel, due to the quar-
teriy statement and the extra dividend.
There was a good turnover in these
issues and the common advanced two
points over parity Other shares in the
American section were dull.
The tone of the general market was
good on the war news, but trading was
light and consisted mostly of japanese,
Indian and Russian stocks and shipping e
shares at steady prices. Gilt edged
securities eased off in the late trading
on some offerings OF the war loan.
Money was in better supply and dis
count rates were steady. The treasury
gathered about 930,000.000 by short
term issues last week. including

Surprise for Wall Street.

Wall street was greatly surprised by
the action of the United States Steel
Corporations board of directors in de-
claring an extra dividend of ! per cent
on the common stock of that company.
The street believed that Chairman
Gary's conservatism would prevent any
extra distribution.
Moreover the enormous profits for the
second quarter of the year astounded
the most enthusiastic supporters of the
greatest of all steel combines. Net
earnings for April, May and June were
ss1.126.04s. or nearly s2o.o00,000 in ex-
cess of any quarter in the corporation 8
history.
The extra dividend means that an un-
expected s5,os3.o25 will find its way into
the pockets Of the fortunate share
holders.
The corporation had orders for $780,
4S5 tons of product on it's books at the
close of the quarter, June 80. Share
holders in the corporation will receive
$17,741,725 as a result of yesterdays
dividend declarations, and after this
distribution s47,964.535 remains to be
carried to surplus.
It is understood that Henry c. Frick
has been very active in the interest of
the common shareholders and that. on
leaving the directors meeting yester-
day. he said to J. p. Morgan, II wish
your father might have lived to see

earnings.
