GOSSIP OF A L R E
The Chemical stocks.

II was again a big day for the chemi-
val stocks. Tennessee Copper and the
International AGRICULTURAL Chemical
shAres all attained new high marks. But
the market in Tennessee absolutely over
Swallowed that in the latter. Trading
was very heavy and the advance became
quite violent, suggesting the presence of
competitive buying. The high price of
66 ". making allowance for the dividend
deducted this week. was less than three
points from the extreme high record
made on September 80 last. The osten-
stble reason for the sharp advance in
Tennessee has been a report that a state
ment will be issued this week show.ns
40 per cent earned on the stock last
year, exclusive OF profits from the acid
business. II has also been rumored mat
the annual report to be issued within IA
few days woul I've a brilliant one. A
director or the company said yesterday
that he had no knowledge of any such
or Of any preparations for the
putting out OF the same. The annual re-
port will not be issued until next month.
When II does come II will not refiect the
abnormal profits from the acid business.
These will not begin to be received until
the present year Altogether there is
quite Il little mystery about the rush to
buy Tennessee. Some observers contend
that II represents the cancellation of
heavy short contracts. Others suggest
that II has something to do with the old
rumor Of closer connections between the
Tennessee and the International Asri-
cultural Corporation Well informed
people deny that there is anything in
this rumor.

International Agricultural.

There has been no official statement
of the terms OF the contract e;ween
the Tennessee Copper Company and
the International Agricultural Chemical
Company for the disposition Of the acid
produced by The Tennessee. The news
slips state that when the war broke out
the new contract agreed upon provided
that the sulphuric acid should be sold 10
the international people at S\.Sl a ton
and then sold back to the Tennessee
company at 81 "A ton. In addition the
international company received so per
cent. OF the pront above 81 "A ton ON raw
acid. ON every ton Of acid sold by the
Tennessee at SIS a ton the Interna-
tional would receive s2.1s plus 81, or
sS1s. On this basis on a production
of 10000 tons for the year ended June
80. 1916, the International would have
a profit of I 1900. 900, II is on this
reasoning that the stock was advanced
