Kind friend how pleasant things would be

AMERICAN SUGAR REFINING.
Rect Sugar Holdings.

Reported that returns from beet
sugar investments will be at least
S2.7OO, 600 this year. This amount
may be larger if the Spreckels Sugar
Refining Co. distributes more than
the regular . per cent en- the $4,000
shares owned by American Sugar.
and this is possible In 1917 and
1916, American Sugars total rev
enues from outside investments was
over 100000 or just about enough
to take care Of the Z per cent divi-
dend on the s45,OOO.000 preferred
stock. and leaving for the common
stock the refining profits proper.
There has always been more or less
mystery about the beet sugar invest
ments of American Sugar, and it was
really not until the war brought
n bout unusual conditions in the
sugar trade. that their value began
to be appreciated. and the equities
which they held for American Sugar
shareholders, realized.

ownership of the vessels upon the
terms of the British offer. Marine

news. Previously the stock had been
run up 20 125 on reports that the
deal with the British syndicate was
on the point of consummation. Later
developments indicated that there
was a monkey wrench somewhere in
the gears, and the shares went down
10 par. Then the stock was restored

No Declaration of Common

Owing TO unsettled conditions
which exist all over the world it is
feeling Of tn management that the
best interets Of the company will be
served by not declaring a dividend
on the comman shares at the present
time. but rather TO be overconserva-
tive until such time as the future be-
comes more certain. The annual re-
port shows a net income Of $2,138,-
$40. an increase Of $374,541 over the
income OF 1917. The gross income
was $4,3S5,287, and expenses were
S2,246.317. After the deduction of
the fun Z percent dividend on the
preferred stock the balance OF the
net income is equivalent 10 $5.77 a

pany had had considerable difficulty
