PLANS STOCK DIVIDEND

Directors OF the American SuNa'ra
Tobacco Company yesterday ANNOUNCED
that they propose increasing the author.
lied common stock from 100000 TO
s15,000,O00 par, declare Is PEI cent
stock dividend and give shareholders the
right to subscribe to so per cent O,
their holdings to new stock at 800 A
share. In notice mailed last night 10
shareholders a special meeting of the
stockholders is called for August % mex,
for the purpose OF authorizing the rro-
posed increase in capitalization. The
company now has s6.S13,a0O par Of
common stock outstanding.
In explaining the company's plans
Julius Lichtenstein. president of the
company, in a letter to shareholders
says:
The reason for the Issuance Of add
tional common stock is that the company
may retire its issue OF notes which
mature on January Is. 1919. Of which
there are outstanding $1,000 900, may
cancel the Indebtedness OF the COMPANY
on its other note obligations. which
varies in amount up to about $1,000 oO,
and may have additional capital to be
used as follows:
Your company has been experiment
ing on its plantations with the produr-
ton of other tobaccos for which there Is
now and promises to be for many years
to come a great demand. and 1t is the
present intention of the board to use the
additional amount OF new capital for the
above and other purposes. After the
proceeds of the subscriptions to the new
stock II ave been paid into the treasury
of the company the working capital cash
and liquid assets will be approximately
$40. 900. 900 exclusive Of fixed assets
1T is not the intention to offer the re-
mainder OF such additional common
stock to the stockholders for subscription
at the present time. but II is thought
desirable to authorize the amount stated
in the resolution of the board Of d.
rectors so that any future issues which
may appear expedient may he offered To-
the then stockholders, which will avoid
the delay incident to the calling OF an.
other special meeting OF the Stockholders
for that purpose.
The offer made to the stockholders n
subscribe to the stock and the payment
of stock dividend are subject to ire
approval Of the Capital Issues Commit
tee Of the United States TIE purchase
OF the entire issue of stock will be TN.

CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE,


There was a strong tone to stock val
ues at the close of the market yester-
day on the Consolidated Exchange. Final
prices showed recessions from the pre-
vious high levels in few issues, hut the
net gains for the session ranged from a
fraction to more than a point Sup
ported by a good volume of buying or
ders, the market, led by Steel common,
started the upward climb in midafter-
noon and the movement continued to the
close. Prices readily responded to the
demand and the volume of business in
the final hour was greater than in any
period in recent days. War. news con-
tinued favorable and may have had its
effect upon the trading. which was pro-
fessional in character. The one excep-
tion to the display OF strength. which
was as pronounced in the rails as in the
industrals, was Sumatra Tobacco. Trad

Lower Call Rates.

bears a feeling of insecurity, and 1t was

Bears Are Worried.

A floor member OF one of the most i'm
portant houses in the Street said yester-
day that the only ones who were wor-
ried over the new taxes were those short
OF stocks. and their principal trouble
was that they feared the new war
leves would not be sufficiently severe to
cause prices to decline very far. This
broker confessed he could not become
bearish and pointed out the fact that
this week several of the large corpora
lions had increased their dividends or
declared extra ones. which indicated
that despite the taxation programme
those concerns, which are doing enor-
nous business. will be able to maintain
dividends because of the big SURPRISES

Fries Coal Profits.

Erie's 1917 annual nnanc;af statement
Is interesting in that it indirectly re-
veals the large dividends paid into the

Coal Company. whose capital stock it

from the Pennsylvania Coal properties
except that "other income" which in

year. must have been swelled from that
source. This represents a 100 per cent.
dividend on the s4.910,6Oo Of the Penn
sylvania stock owned by the Erie. This
revenue from the Pennsylvania Coal
Company doubtless represents the accu-
mutation of several years profits and
confirms what was published in this
column last March. that Erie would re-
ceve large sum from this source some

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.


Yesterdays Wall Street operations
represented a restricted upward move
ment in security prices following the re-
cent downward swing. indicating that
the stock market is still within narrow
trading limits This was the only fea-
ture of the dealings, which. like previous
sessions of the week. were entirely In
the hands of professionals After dull
morning session the traders found they
had practically touched bottom so far
as the active issues were concerned. and
impatient for action turned to the other
side. They apparently took their cue
from the lower money rates. which con-
firmed statements of bankers yesterday
that the market was being held in check
by the scarcity of funds.

Specihi Despatch TO TUE srx

SpecfUf DtSDdtcN 10 1uE Sun.
-wAsHfSGToN, Aug. 26.-Commandlng
officers OF all flying fields have been
supplied with the plans and speclHca-
lions for ambulance planes. following
the successful operation Of this aerial
innovation at Gerstner Field. Lake
Charles, La. orders to complete similar
machines at once at every field have
been issued by Major-Gen. Kenly com
manding officer of the Division of Mill
tary Aeronautics Nine Texas fields
already have complied with this COM
mand.
The idea OF the novel plane is to
reach scenes Of accidents occurring at
n DISTANCE from the flying field hospital
where II Is difficult to get automobile
ambulances quickly. The flying am
bulance Is to be followed in each case
by a motor ambulance, however.
A standard training plane is used for
the new airplane ambulance. The rear
cockpit is cleared and sufficiently en-
larged to allow a combination stretcher
seat. permitting the injured man to rest
easily. He Is slightly propped up. head
toward the pilot. with his legs extending
into the fuselage. The injured man Is
securely strapped in and Is as comforta-
BILE as in an ordinary ambulance.
While the aero ambulance assures the
patient freedom from the rolling and
humping which motor ambulance
cannot avoid, It's greatest value, accord
ing to the War Department, is its speed
In reaching the scene of an accident
and in bringing the injured man to a
hospital.
