U. S. STEEL CONTINUES
TO PAY EXTRA DIVIDENDS
Net Earnings for Three Months,
However, Are Less Than for the
Previous Quarter.

NEW YORK. May Total earnings
Of the United States Steel Corporation
for the first quarter of 1918 amounted
to 956,061 ,424, after deducting expenses
incidental to operations, including $31, =
$50, 1913 for federal income and war ex-
cess profits taxes. This is a decrease
Of $2,762, 7O1 from returns of the previ-
Gus quarter.
Net income of $4s.449.s17 shows a
gain Of about 100000. and the surplus
Of $15,O32, 500 represents decrease of
$1.22577O.
In all other essentials the statement
met popular expectations. Monthly
earnings rose from $4,000. 100 in Janu-
airy to $27,196.152 In March. confirming
general trade reports of steady revival
since the early weeks of the year.
A marked falling of in earnings is
shown, however, when comparison is
made with the corresponding quarter
Of 1917. before the Steel Corporation
began to charge of its heavy war
taxes and excess profits.
Earnings on the common stock then
amounted to $17.98 per share. as
against 1921 for the first quarter of
this year.
In addition to the regular tx and
N per cent dividends on the preferred
and common shares, respectively, the
extra 3 per cent on the common, paid
since the first quarter of 1917, was
again disbursed at yesterdays meeting.

will be assigned to the proper institu-
