Du POnt Suit Ended
Litigation for Control of Pow
der Company Decided

PHILADELPHIA, March Ga four
year suit for control of the stock of f.
I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.. the pow
der makers, involving $57 100000 ended
to-day.
Judge Burlington, in the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, handed
down q lengthy decision sustaining the
opinion Of former Judge Thompson in
the cases.
The decision is a victory for Pierre
S. du Pont and members Of the powder
making faction of his family.
Judge Burlington suggests that the
powder company should bear the costs
of the appeal carried to his court. He
made no definite order for this, how
ever, and he leaves the question open
for discussion by the litigants.
The suit was brought in 1915 to
compel Pierre S. du Pont and directors
to return to the du Pont Powder Com
pany the $5,000,00O Of stock purchased
from T. Coleman du Pont. According
to the plaintiffs, Pierre S. Dupont and
certain directors Of the powder CONF
pany formed the du Pont Securities
Company for the purpose of purchas-
ing the stock for their own benefit in
stead of acquiring it for the benefit
of the powder company and it's stock
holders

Porphyry Coppers
Cut Dividends
Action Ascribed to Need for
Conserving Cash to
Carry Metal

Inc four leading porphry copper pro-
ducing companies of the United States
yesterday announced reductions in div
idends to stockholders A statement is
sued on behalf Of the companies by
Charles Hayden, director, explained
that the action was taken in order to
conserve the financial resources of the
producing corporations, since they may
be compelled to carry large surpluses
of copper until a profitable market for
the metal develops.
Inc Utah Copper Company, one of
the largest producers of copper in the
world, declared a quarterly dividend of
Sl.5O share, compared with $3.50 three
months ago, thus putting the stock on
an annual dividend basis of S.
The Chino Copper Company declared
quarterly dividend of rs cents a
share, compared with 81 three months
ago, putting the stock on a SO q year
basis.
The Nevada Consolidated Copper
Company announced quarterly dis
bursement to stockholders amounting
to 81 "a cents share. compared with rs
cents last quarter, putting the stock on
an annual basis of $15O.
The Ray Consolidated directors voted
a quarterly dividend of so cents a
share, compared with 75 cents three
months ago, establishing the dividend
on 81 year basis.
"The recent quarterly report" said
the explanatory statement, "set forth
clearly the general situation of the
copper market. 1t is the belief of the
directors that they are best serving the
interests of the shareholders when. in
view Of the fact that they may desire
to carry considerable copper until such
time as it can be profitably marketed,
that a conservative action on dividends
such as taken to-day is the proper one.
The prophyries are all in strong finan-
cial condition, but it is desirable, in
view of the payment of taxes, of these
dividends and of the possible using Of
treasury reserves for the carrying of
copper, that this position should be
maintained. A really substantial buy
ing Of copper appears to have been de-
velopng the last week at around cur
rent prices"

The SkepticaI Bankers

Bankers in Wall Street smiled yes
terday when they were informed of
reports that the Soviet government Of
Russia "hopes to be able to arrange a
big loan in America" They said If it
was true they had not heard about it.
Moreover, it was pointed out that it
would scarcely be proper to finance q
loan for foreign government that has
not been recognized by the United
States government The bankers were
interested to know what Trotzky and
Lenine would have to offer in the way
of any loan they might seek here for
the Soviet government.
