Leather EARNINGS

It is doubtful whether the quarter
ly reports of the Central Leather
Company and the American Hide and
Leather Company. which will be pub
lished next week, will equal the
showing made by these companies in
the final quarter OF 1916. Leather
prices were easier in January and
February, though they have since
stiffened. While the leather COM
panies are expected to report normal
earnings for the quarter, these figures
will be compared with high record
earnings made by both companies at
the close OF last year. American Hide
and Leather earnings are said to be
running at the rate of about 10 per
cent for the preferred stock, but moth
ing in the. way OF dividends on this
issue Is looked for before midsum-
mer. Central Leather common has
been a popular "buy on breaks" hand.
cut all the way down from 95, so that
followers of this advice have had
ample opportunity to get in. Getting
out has been another thing. How
ever, II there Is such a thing as the
law Of averages this advice will prove
profitable some time, and 1t is at least
more logical now than when the stock
was selling 10 points higher.
The Washington times., 1917-04-20
sound Financing.

Continuing, the president OF the
Sloss-Sheffeld says< "On the other
hand it is clearly necessary that the
company make at this time expendi-
lures in connection with Its opera
tions in order to secure full operation
OF its plants and to obtain the bene-
Mt to the fullest degree OF the present
extraordinary conditions prevailing in
the iron and coal business. While
these expenditures will reach sub
stantial amounts. they are not re-
latively large in comparison with
the company's volume OF business.
They will, however, make an early
demand on the company's cash re-
sources and add further reason for
the suspension of dividends for the
time being. Having in mind the un-
settled conditions existing as a re-
suit of the war 1t seems that the in
terest OF the stockholders requires
the strengthening of the cash posi-
tion OF the company and makes neces-
sary deferring dividend payments"

MAY FORCE UP BREAD PRICE
Shortage Of Flour and HoardIns Of
Food Threatens Trouble.

CHICAGO. April 2o-An increase in
the price OF bread is believed by
bakers to be inevitable in view of
steady advance in hours. Many bakers
favor abolition OF the 6-cent loaf and
reduction of the size of the 1o-cent
loaf.
Flour mills at Minneapolis are
swamped by shipping orders, and en-
barrassed by shortage OF cars. Last
week the flour output decreased 2S,06b
barrels as compared with the same
week in 1915. Demand from large
dealers fell of, but that from the
family trade increased.
Soaring prices OF canned goods have
brought the suggestion that perhaps
a battle with persons who seek enor-
nous profits through capitalization of
the peoples fear Of famine is neces-
sary.
"Hoarding threatens to become a
disaster to the nation" said Sol Wes-
terfeId, president Of the National Re-
tail Grocars and Butchers Associa-
tion. "The food supply Is adequate II
consumers will only act reasonably"

R0MANoFFS ARE POOR
Ex-czaTs Children Have Millions;
Father Only 100000.

PETROGRAD. April 2o.-M. Titoff.
the comissary appointed by the pro-
visional government to take charge
OF the affairs of the former Czar ana
his family, has applied for a grant
to cover their immediate expenses.
According to a rough estimate of
their private fortune, 1t appears that
Nicholas Romanoff owns not more
than $500, 900 in cash and securities.
The recent Czarina's fortune
amounts to little more, but Alexis,
the thirteen-year-old boy who was
lately heir to the throne, is much
wealthier. His allowance has been
accumuIating and he possesses about
$500, 900. The fortunes of his sisterA
are estimated as follows: Olga, $2,-
1000; Tatiana, 100000; Marie,
81, 700 900, and Anastasia, 81, 800, 900.
Since 1906 the civil list has
amounted to $4,000, 900 annually, but
the enormous revenues derived from
the mines, forests, and lands belong
ing to the cabinet expenditure have
been swallowed up in the mainte-
nance of. the imperial residences,
shooting boxes, and hosts of retain
ers.
Thus despite his great possessions
the former Gear appears to be COM
paratively a poor man, inasmuch as
the real estate has now become state
property.

sIo.s-shefaeId,. Caution.

A certain railroad company recently
announced in its annual report that
dividends were to be paid out OF accu-
mulated surplus, but no real surplus
could be found, beyond q small per
eentage above dividend requirements.
while the balance sheet showed that
the concern was an active borrower
of bank funds to meet current needs.
1t was a case where the dividend
should have been cut in two IL not
passed, but not so with the d.
rectors, who appeared to reason along
the lines OF. the management of the
Baltimore and Ohio of many years
ago, which subsequently forced the
property into receivers hands. Just
now, however, there are not many in
stances OF poor financing on the part
OF the railroads and Industrial COM
panies, although in the case of the
Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Com
pany some poorly informed observers
may charge the directors with over
caution in deferring the dividend on
the common stock usually declared at
this time. Here Is some sound rea-
soning from the president of this
company: THE company has not ac.
cumulated a cash surplus. and IL divi-
dends are to be. continued. even with
substantial earnings, the company
cannot accumulate a satisfactory cash
reserve for many months"
The Washington times., 1917-04-20
NEWS FOR INVESTORS.



Although the April meeting of the
directors. of the United States Steel
Corporation is less than q week OF,
there practically is no gossip in the
Street regarding a possible increase
in the rate, and even little talk of an
extra payment. In some circles, how
ever, II is believed an extra distribu-
tion will be made, in spite OF the pros
poets of increased taxation incident to
war revenue for the Government,
while 1t Is believed also that the net
earnings for the first quarter OF the
year, which will be given out at the
directors meeting, may show an. In
crease of between s10,000,000 and $780,
000, 900 over the Tecord-breaking ex-
hibit OF the last three months OF 1915.
In other quarters II 10 thought that
the gain will be under SIC. 900 900, and
that in view of Judge Gary's recent
comments to the stockholders on the
position of the corporation only the
regular common dividend Of IL per
cent will be paid in order that the
already large cash reserves may be
substantially enlarged so as to pro-
vide for construction Of new plants
and the enlargement OF present plants
to care for business which Is expected
to increase throughout the year. The
corporation may find II absolutely
necessary to enter upon such plan
notwithstanding that under present
conditions the cost of building 10
enormous.
