smeIter's Extra Dividend,

The declaration OF an extra dividend
OF one-half OF I per cent. on the COM
mon stock of the American Smelling
and Refining Company came somewhat
as a surprise to the financial district
because there has been little activity
of late in the stock outside OF profess
sional buying and selling as the Mexican
situation varied and because the stock
has been for several weeks below It's
high price Of lO4, reached last February.
In view of the unsettled conditions in
Mexico, where the company has large
investments. the extra dividend was not
generally expected. In spite Of the in
creased disbursement on the common.
however. the stock failed to register a
gain in price for the day. I. opened at
9Sa. sold as high as $685. and closed at
ga. of u from Tuesdays close.

yesterday Oh the publication Of a semi
official digest of the Wallace plan for
the reorganization OF the company. The

points from the previous close and a de-
cline of lola points from its high OF
Monday last. The common sold down to
a close of 247s. a drop OF 9 points for
the day and a recession Of 49, points
from its recent top. The feature % the
plan that vas most responsible for the
