Conserving Cash

Directors of the Weyman Bruton
Company, tobacco manufacturers and
dealers, yesterday declared a stock dlvi-
dend on the common stock of which
there is S4,6OO,00O now outstanding
This action was in line with recent
disbursements by other important TO-
bacco concerns, who stopped paying
cash dividends in order to MAINTAIN a
large working capital. In connection
with the eyman-Bruton distribution
it was announced that no cash dis
bursement on the common stock would
be made this year The stock dividend
is payable October |, to stock OF record

declared regular quarterly dividends
Of per cent on the common, with an
extra Of per cent, making an annual
cash payment of 20 per cent.

Bankers Indorse
Clearing House
Rate Proposal
Limitation of Interest on
Demand Deposits Called
Scientific Reform

The indications yesterday were that
the proposed amendment to the con-
stitution Of the New York Clearing
House Association providing for the
limitation of the interest rate on de-
mand deposits Of banks and trust COM
panies would be acted favorably upon
at the meeting called for next Mon
day. Even those bankers who criti
cised the plan because it was spon-
sored locally instead of by the Fed
eral Reserve Board expressed hope
that the vote to put into effect would
be unanimous.
Objections that were raised were
based mainly on a belief that the limi
tation of the interest scale on deposits
to rate per cent less than the Fed
eral Reserve Bank redscount rate for
ninety-day paper would tend to draw
money away from New York at time
when it is most needed to carry on
important financial operations. For
this reason, it was pointed out, that
action of the character proposed
should be taken by the Federal Re-
serve Board rather than by the Clear
ing House Committee, so that banks in
other cities would not enjoy an ad
vantage over New York institutions.
These points were raised chiefly by
trust company officials. Executives Of
national banks, on the other hand,
were practically unanimous in their
Endorsement of any action toward
stabilizing interest rates. Their opin-
ion was summed up by the head of an
important national bank. who said:
"The proposed amendment to the
constitution of the Clearing House
! Association will make for uniformity
and stability. The argument that
funds will leave New York through
the operation of the change over eX-
istng competitive conditions, in my
opinion, will not be borne out in an
important way by the developments.
New York is the financial centre of
the country and it will be hard to
make it otherwise"
81 am heartily in favor Of the Clear
ing House plan declared the head of
another national bank; particularly
because it will bring about CONCERTED
action among the banks. which I re-
gard as essential. The proposal is a
scientific step forward in banking, and
follows the line OF development of
certain foreign banks. The limitation
Of the interest rate will act as a
check against excessive rates. and is,
in my opinion, solution Of an i'm
portant banking problem"

Bank Receiver Charges Its
President With Speculation

Recovery of S2o1,S95 is asked in "A

Encouraging, President
Saws

r. T. Lamont, president Of the Amer

port for 1916, said that steel trade

prospects, Mr. Lamont stated In the
1917 report. issued yesterday, material
lied into by far the best year in the

ally difficult operating conditions. At
the same time, he pointed out that the
year 1918 started badly.
Corporations for January he said,
"werc seriously curtalled by eXtraor-
dinarily bad weather, railroad embar-
goes and forced shutdowns on account
Of the coal situation, although we had
plenty of coal and oil to run without
interruption. February was also un-
satisfactory, and it is certain that the
first quarter of the year will not COM
pare favorably with the same quarter
last year. However, we have a large
tonnage ahead Of the foundries, which
will keep us busy for six months at
least
Gross sales for 1917 were $49,369,-
