"Smelter" Extra a Surprise.

Directors of the American Smelling
and Refining Company sprang some
thing of a surprise yesterday when they
declared an extra dividend of one-half
of l per cent in addition TO the regular
quarterly disbursement on the com
mon of per cent Combining the ex-
ira and the regular, the company IS
now paying at an annual rate OF per
cent on the common. Some months ago
Wall Street got much excited over an
expected increase in the "Smelters"
dividend that did not develop. The
company's annual report showed re
Gently. however, that the directors, II
they felt 1t expedient. could increase
the common disbursement as the 1915
surplus over and above the require
ments Of the preferred equalled some
16.S per cent on the common, against
G.5 per cent in 1914 and "A per cent in
1913. The fact that the extra was de-
clared Yesterday despite the difficulties
the company is meeting in operating its
Mexican properties was considered,
however, as rather surprising. "Smelt-
ers" sold on the exchange yesterday as
HIGH as 99ss before the dividend an
rourcement. but dropped back TO 97h

loss on the day.

Higher Fixed Charges.

The sinking spell in the Marines yes
terday followed apparently as a re-
suit Of the publication Of the terms OF
the tentative reorganization plan pre-
pared by the preferred stockholders,
which provided, among other things,
that the deferred back dividends on the
preferred should not be paid until pro-
vision was made for retiring S2O,OOO'-
600 Of new notes 20 be issued as a part
Of the plan. This might take several
years, although the notes are 20 be re-
tired serially, according 70 the plan.
II is proposed 10 issue S40,0OO,OOO or
new 6 per cent refunding bonds, which.
with proceeds Of S20000,000 new per
cent notes and s17,O00,000 in cash, will
be given the holders Of the S52,594,OOO
old AIS and the S17,632,000 Of old IS
now outstanding, covering principal
and accrued interest. If the plan goes
through on this basis the corporation
will enjoy the unique and unprece-
dented distinction Of emerging from
receivership with larger fixed charges
than before the court took over the
property. Figured on the basis OF the
present outstanding Indebtedness, = c
fixed charges are around S3,246,OOO. On
the proposed new bonds and notes they
will approximate S3,60O,OO0. 1t must
be borne in mind, however. that the
notes will be retired within a short
period if all goes we'll and in that
event fixed charges will be ultimately
reduced TO 81, 400 600.

First lnStalment of New
French Credit Put at
$50,000,000
NEGOTIATIONS MAY
SOON BE CONCLUDED
Marine Shares Have Bad Day on
EXchange-Explaining the
Rise in Lire.

That the new French credit now I'M
der negotiation will at the outset prob
ably involve a loan Of not more than
S5O,0OO,OO0 was learned yesterday
from an authoritative source. Ulti-
mately the total credit might reach
$500, 100000, il was said, but that
would depend entirely on what the
future requirements might be. at is
straight business proposition" said
n man yesterday who has been aparty
to the negotiations. France needs no
new funds for some months 20 come.
She is taking this step merely as a
precautionary measure. She believes
in financial preparedness, and wants
funds available here for drawing
against If the necessity arises. But
she does not propose to borrow s2oo'-
600. 900 at the start and be compelled
70 nav big interest charges on money
that might not be used before the end
Of the year. The plan is TO oorro"
in instruments, or, as one might ssy,
borrow as you 60" The new credit, It
was said, may be completed inside OF
two weeks. Then, again, Il may take
longer, bu. an announcement is 81, s1-
pected before many weeks pass. The
understanding is that the neutral Sc
curities obtained as q result OF the
mobilization plan Of the French Min
lister of Finance will be used as a
basis for the credit here, TO be held
by the corporation which will issue
the loan.

mand was active enough at times 70

not seem 70 be broadening as rapldIy

point of the day was reached in the late
trading, with July contracts selling az

net lower. Tho general list closed

points.
ders ~ In. atari, with the opening I'M
changed 70 8 points higher. but It soon
developed that the demand was less
urgent than on the previous day, and
that there was considerable cotton Tor
sale. The lowest point was reached
in the late trading, when May sold AT
1925 and October at 1916, with inc
market closing only point or TWO up
from that level.
The weekly report OF the Weather
Bureau made q bullish showing, put u

that advices from the South suggested
an increase of about 8 per cent. South,

Net Profit of S16,695,S0
Shows Huge Demand
for War Needs.

The Anaconda Copper Company, In
its annual report covering operations
during 1915, confirms the optimistic
predictions that have been made regard
ing earnings. John d. Ryan repeated
previous statements that the demand
for copper was great, and that the
company's product was sold ahead for
a longer period than ever before.
1T is apparent that this condition
will continue during the continuance OF
the war" he added, land il Is believed
that the resumption of peace in Europe
will, with perhaps q brief intervening
period Of readjustment, be accompanied
by an enormous demand for copper
when industrial activity is resumed and
the work of rehabilitation is under
taken"
Anaconda's gross receipts last year
were s69, 1872 ,O52. an increase Of 500, 1885,
