provides that net quick assets and cash
will be maintained at ali times at rs

edness, but further provides that no

The encouragement which those In
terested in the recent strength in Amer
lean Ice common held out for a divi-
dend on this stock was given a severe
setback yesterday when the company's
annual statement OF operations showed
tota! earnings Of but 81 a share on the
common. This was considerably in ex-
cess OF the last previous annual state
ment, when the earnings we're slightly
moro than 81 n share. The 1915 fig
ures were not sufficiently high to war
rant the anticipation OF a payment on
the common and as a result Of the
publication OF the annual report the
stock took n severe drop. having been
previously built up on pool operation
and dividend talk. II was pointed out
in one quarter that no dividend could
be paid on the common stock until the
preferred should be on a regular per
cent. basis. 4 total OF per cent. was
paid on tho preferred last year, Il is
true, but of that total per cent. was

Two Of the most important OF the

price at which tho stock will be offered
to the employees OF the company. Spec

probably will be paid during the COM
ing year has been rife. and although II

TO be accepted generally that the direc-
tors will place the stock on a per

price at which the stock 10 TO be Of
fered to employees It was rumored yes
terday that the figure will be 95-the
closing price for 1918. 1t was declared
that tho totaa amount to be taken by
employees will reach probably 10000
shares, OF which some $4,000 shares
probably will be paid for in full during

why They were Sold,

There has been some selling OF Brit
ish Government short term securities
recently. according to bond men, on dis
appointment because OF the decision of
the British Government to continue the
taxation OF such securities in Great
Britain. It had been thought that as
soon as the war came to an end the
British would make them tax exempt
and in that belief there had been good
buying IN this country. Tho taxation
on holdings In Great Britain. however.
continues una oated and some investors
here have lost hope OF any exemption
from taxation and now believe that the
British buying which had been antic.-
pated will not materialize.
