No Value TO Producers

The Mining Letter has always
contended that a decrease in the
ore freight rates is of no value to
the iron ore producer, and that If
he shares in the benefit nobody
has been able to point out his
profit; that, on the contrary. the
consuming interest, or sales
agents, insist on getting their ore
supplies just that much less, and
in the main are successful.
Inasmuch as ore prices for 1915
were fixed before the reduction of
5 cents on the Minnesota ore roads
went in effect last season, on June
l, it was presumed that the pro-
ducers might enjoy advantage to
that extent for the balance of that
year at least. But it is learned that
they did not, but were paid the

1915 prices for ore, less the S cents
per ton reduction in ore rates on
the Minnesota ore roads. This
reduction also figures in the 1916
prices, so we are informed.
The consumers and ore sales
agents cannot be blamed for get

Steel Common

A dispatch from New York of
Jan. IS, says: The United States
Steel corporation resumed dividend
payments on its common stock to-
day when the directors declared
quarterly distribution of IA per
cent.
The total net earnings of the
corporation for the quarter ended
Dec. 81, 1915. were S51 ,232,7SS,
according to the quarterly report.
This breaks all records of previous
earnings. The net income for the
same quarter was S4O,S55,113 and
the surplus S23. 2O0,692.
This restores the common stock
to 5 per cent basis. 1t was the
first payment authorized on the
Junior issue since the dividend de-
clared for the September quarter OF
1914, which was u of l per cent.
Prior to that the common stock
had been paying per cent since
June, 1910. The regular quarterly
dividend of / "a per cent on the pre-
ferred stock was also declared.
These returns compare with total
earnings of S3S,71O,6 44, net in
come of $50 ,O45, 791 and surplus OF
SIS, O57 PAL at the end of the pre-
ceeding quarter. Total earnings
for the year, 1915, amount to
$50, 351 ,296. which compares with
SS1, 716,51S the previous year.
The largest quarterly total earn
ings previously on record were for
the second quarter of 1907, when
they amounted to S45, 503,705.
Judge Ebert H. Gary, chairman
of the board, in statement issued
after the directors meeting, said
that the members of the finance
committee and the board of direc-
tors were all in favor of the de-
claration of the IA per cent COM
mon dividend. This statement APP
parently was intended to dispose of
rumors that there had been differ
ences of opinion in the matter
among members of the board. The
statement called attention to the
fact that the earnings were S., 729,-
OS3 in excess of any previous
quarter.
