NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features of tbs Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York. April 24.-Leading stocks
rose and fell with 2 to point limits
today, a general but moderate reaction
attending the final dealings. Trading
was even more narrow than on the
preceding day, with a correspondingly
small turnover the total barely
amounting to 100000 shares. Opera
tions lost none of their professional
character; if anything this was more
obvious than before, especially in the
various speculative groups, such as
coppers, shippnGs, motors and oils.
Heaviness of local FRACTIONS at de-
clines of l IA to AZ points was re
garded as a logical result of the recent
liquidation in bonds of those compa-
MES. The technical situation, on the
surface at least, was in no wise
changed, the market at intervals
evincing signs of an over-sold condi-
ton, despite the ease with which prices
yielded or nominal offerings. Little at
tenton seemed to be paid to impending
international affairs and the Presi-
dents signing of the war finance bill.
Interest centered mainly around the
quarterly statement of the United
States Steel Corporation which was
not issued until some time after the
markets close. That the report would
show record earnings was popularity
taken for granted, but the late move
ment of the stock did not suggest an
increase in the extra" dividend. 1t
closed at II SIS, net loss of SIS, af-
ter having risen almost a point.
Rails were exempt from the general
selling until the flag end of the session,
when they receded l to points under
yesterdays final quotations, 800"
preferred making a gross decline of 6
as points to 120 S..
Bethlehem Steels and several prom
inent munitions and equipments were
firm to strong in the forenoon, with
gas shares, papers, feathers, Industrial
Alcohol and minor war supply shares.
Later reversals in these stocks were
attributed to the abrupt decline in
Central Leather on the failure of the
directors to declare an extra" divi-
dend.
Bonds moved in their recent uncer-
tain way. Total sales (par value) ag-
gregated $3,560,000.

UNITED STATES STEEL COMMON
BREAKS ALL FORMER HIGH RECORDS

New York. April 24.-All previous
high records in the history of the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation. both as
to earnings and dividends, were sur
passed in the first quarterly report for
the current year issued today.
Earnings reached the enormous to-
tai of $113,121.0 1S, more than the cor
poration has earned in a full year in
some instances, and an extra divi-
dend Of / IA per cent on that issue
and i ga per cent. on the preferred.
The disbursement on the common ag-
gregates over s21 100000.
The per cent. extra is an increase
Of l IA per cent. over the extra divi-
dend declared in the previous quarter
and an increase of 2 per cent. over
those Of the second and third quarters
Of last year. It makes up with about
one per cent. to spare, for the defer
red dividends on the common stock
for the period between the fourth
quarter of 1914 and the same quarter
Of 1915. when poor earnings caused a
complete suspension Of disbursements
on the common stock.
The three months total earnings Of
$113,12 ,018 are an increase Of $751;
GIL over the final quarter of last year
and net income of s103, 33O671 repre-
sents gain of $7,00S,5S4. The surplus
for the quarter was s69,SS 1881, which
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1917-04-25

is only a slight increase because Of
the extra sum required to pay the en-
largsd common dividend. &.
Qn<the basis of these figures earn
ings on the common stock were at the
annual rate Of about $72 per share, as
against s6s.50 in the December quar-
ter and slightly less than 50 per cent.
in the September quarter.
March was the banner month of the
first quarter, earnings aggregating
$43,630.422, against s33,416.171 in the
shorter month Of February and $685.
074,425 in January.
Regarding trade prospects, Chair
man Ebert H. Gary said after today's
meeting of the board of directors:
There is no let-up in general trade
conditions. Prices have tendency to
advance"
Mr.. Gary announced that the corpo-
ration would subscribe to the extent Of
100000 for the governments one
year certificates of Indebtedness and
indicated that when the governments
war bonds were issued, the corpora
TONS subscription would be much
larger.
He announced further that the d.
rectors had voted to anticipate pay
ment to the government Of S9,eo0,O00
income tax and to subscribe $4,000 to
the army and navy Y. NJ. G. A. fund.
