New-York tribune., 1917-09-07

Railroad earnings in July, as IN
dicated by returns of 1O6 large car
riers. were fully up to expectations
Revenues per mile averaged Sl,4O9,
an increase Of 13 per cent, compared
with July, 1916, while operating ex-
penses increased 19 per cent to S94o
and net revenues were S464, a gain
of S13 per mile, or 8 per cent. For
the first seven months of the year
net revenues per mile averaged
S2,699, against s2,655 for the cor
responding period last year. When
it is considered that these tgures
only partially reflect the rate IN
creases which were granted as OF
July l, but which did not become eff
fective until we'll past the middle of
the month in many cases, 1t is ap-
parent that the August returns may
be expected to show even greater I'M
provement.

Liquidation of the most persistent
character hangs over the stock mar
ket. 1t appears whenever an op-
portunity to sell stocks IN consider
able amounts is presented. 1t caused
the break on Tuesday, checked a rise
in prices during the latest session
and broke several issues in the rail-
road group down to new low levels.
The source of it is more or less n
mystery. One man will tell you it
comes from small investors through
out the country who fear the effects
Of price fixing and profits taxation
on security values. Another will as
sert with conviction that the securi-
ties which are finding their way onto
the market are coming from the
strong boxes Of rich men, who are
converting their holdings into tax
exempt bonds and high yield short
term notes. Probably it comes from
both sources, but the important thing
is that it is the dominating factor In
the stock market just now, and has
been for two weeks at least, and un-
til it ends the market Is likely to
remain reactionary.

War Profits Help
To Swell Dividends
Stockholders of American
Steel Foundries and Allis-
Chalmers Benefit

Profits arising out Of the industrial
prosperity brought about by the war
made it possible for two important IN
dustrial concerns to vote large divi-
dends yesterday.
Directors OF tho American Steel
Foundries declared a quarterly dlvi-
dend of ia per cent, putting the stock
on al per cent dividend basis. Div
idends have been paid on this issue at
the rate OF per cent for the last nine
months. The company paid nothing IN
1915, in 1913 and 1914 it paid 2 per
cent, nothing in 1912, and 2I2 per cent
in 1911. In July the company retired
81 200. 900 of it's short term notes ana
last month called for the payment on
October / Of S1,300,000.
The Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing
Company in addition to declaring the
regular quarterly dividend Of Ia per
cent in the preferred stock announced
a disbursement of z Of l per cent on
account of dividends in arrears. This
leaves 7% per cent back dividends on
the preferred shares.

Butte & Superior
Cuts Quarterly
Dividend in Half
Labor Troubles Affecting
Earnings-Rate of $l.25
Called Safe

Directors of the Butte & Superior
Mining Company declared a quarterly
dividend yesterday Of 5l.25 share.
This was $l.25 a share less than the
dividend paid three months ago and
the announcement Of the reduction was
followed by slump of points IN the
stock which sold down to 2515. Later
it recovered to 20, net loss for the
day of Is OF point.
A statement given out after the di-
rectors' meeting conveyed the informa-
ton that the reduction in the dividend
places this stock on a basis which has
been regarded as a safe and normal
rate for the company to undertake per-
manently to disburse to its stockhold-
ers. At this particular time 1T should
be noted that not only has there been
very dull market for spelter for a
long time (Which is now quoted at 1%
cents a pound), but that there has been
a continuance of the high wage scale,
and further than that there has been a
substantial decrease in production due
to the strike and disturbed labor condi-
tions In Butte, and at the moment IL
would be idle TO even speculate as 10
how long these disturbed labor condi-
tions will continue"
Company Loses Suit
The company recently lost a suit
brought against IL by the Minerals
Separation Company in the United
States District Court at Butte, Mont,
for damages and profits under the al
legged infringement of a process for
concentrating ores. The dividend de-
clared yesterday is payable September
30 70 stock of record September IA.
Dividends were declared by all the
copper mining companies in the So
called Porphyry group at the same
rates as three months ago, or $3.50 a
share for Utah Copper, $3.50 for Chino,
81 for Ray Consolidated and 81 for
Nevada Consolidated All of these
dividends are payable September 20 to
stock of record September H.
These companies have suffered less
from labor troubles than copper
producers operating in other parts OF
the country and the combined earnings
from operations for the third quarter,
it is estimated will run far ahead OF
those for the corresponding quarter in
1916.
No Provision for Excess Taxes
None of the companies, it is stated,
have as yet set aside any part of its
earnings to meet the increased pay
ments that will be required under the
excess profits tax. Provisions for such
payments. the directors say, will be
made when the war tax bill becomes a
law and this in all probability will have
a bearing on the dividends for the last
quarter, which will be declared in De-
cember.
New-York tribune., 1917-09-07

The London "Statist" contributes
the following to the discussion Of the
copper situation and price fixing in
this country:
while American copper refinery
production has not yet reflected the
restriction of mine output conse-
quent upon the strikes in progress
during the last few weeks, the time
is close at hand when it will do so;
though it must not be forgotten that
stocks of rough copper have been
accumulating for months past,
awaiting treatment, which will nee
essarily compensate in some measure
for temporarily deficient new sup
plies.
"The strikes are very unfortu-
nate, and the United States govern
ment policy of forcing down prices
is certainly not Of remedial char
acter. being, as it is, directly calcu-
lated to restrict production just at
a time when every pound of the
metal that can be produced is
wanted, and when the expenditure
of a few million dollars, more or
less, to provide ample supplies of
the sinews of war is matter of no
account. So far as inability TO
grasp the elements of economics Is
concerned there appears little to
choose between our own red-tape
autocrats, who have tied themselves
into a Gordian knot through their
inefFable stupidities, and the wise
acres of America, who, by slashing
the price of copper, seek to put a
blight upon production and to re-
move at a single blow all chance OF
extracting from the copper frater-
nity excess profits with which to
help carry on the war. The copper
industry across the Atlantic sees no
reason why it should be singled out
for restrictive measures on the plea
that their product is an essential
war material, when the cotton grow
ers. for instance, who are rolling
in dollars, and whose product is OF
equal Importance for destroying
Huns. get off scot free
