American Car and Foundry.

1t was learned yesterday on good au-
thority that directors OF the American
Car and Foundry have under considera-
ton plan whereby the company may
inaugurate later In the year the policy
OF paying small extra dividends to its
stockholders. The company Is IN an ex-
cellent financial position. having set
aside some time ago funds for payment
OF its annual dividend at the rate OF s
per cent, making the dividends on this
stock assured for at least three years to
come. The last fiscal year OF the COM
pany. ending April so, was the biggest
In its history. Net earnings before taxes
amounted to about STA a share on the
common. Surplus income after all
charges, taxes and preferred dividends
amounted to s32.23 a share on the COM
mon. against sS0.61 in the last previous
fiscal period. Net working capital as Of
April so totalled s37,1l4,377. In 1914
the net working capital was only slS,-
oil, 543. American Car and Foundry
earned $685. a share on the common in
the FIVE years ended on April 80. or that
amount only s26.5o was paid out In divi-
dends. leaving the equivalent OF $685. a
share retained in the treasury or REIN
vested in the business and in securities.

Ala to steePs Short Interest.

It was more the surprise and shock Of
the sudden announcement that knocked
Wall Street Off its pins than any lack of
faith In Bethlehem or other steel favor
ties 1t gave merely the heavy short in
terest In this stock, in United States Steel
common and in Cruclble a peg on which
to hammer. Even q casual scrutiny Of
the statement, issued by the Bethlehem
directors. should dispel doubts about the
immediate future. They stated that the
shipbuilding plants are at full capacity
on work. taken during the war period,
that 60 per cent. OF the steel plants are
engaged, and that extensions and I'M
provements aggregatlng some S32,0Oo.000
are in progress. 1t was pointed out that
the passing of the extra at this time is
TO conserve cash. This statement, added
to the optimistic one issued by Judge
Gary, and the reports OF the journals Of
the trade of big orders coming into the
market, especially from automobile and
oil centres. were considered good reasons
for giving pause to the doleful clique who
believed that all OF the steels are selling
too high.

There was nothing in the news OF the
day to account for the wide climb in
some OF the tobacco stocks. most of
which gains were held. In fact, the to-
baccos threaten TO become the eighth
wonder OF the speculative world In the
width of their strides ard the violence
OF their fluctuations. United Retail
Stores celebrated its debut on the big
board with sale OF 5000 shares at 10l.
Its last sale on the curb on the last
previous day was at par. The stock was
rather heavily traded In for a new
conner. American Tobacco and Lorillard
were irregular. and Liggett a Myers, in
which trades are rarely made, scored an
advance Of more than twenty points on
an inquiry for 200 shares. Tobacco
stocks on the curb were equally strong.

Bethlehem Steel.

Wise and sophisticated. with its
thousand ears to the ground for news
az professional Wall Street is. something
now and then happens that disproves
the widespread idea that Professional
Wall Street knows everything. Take
for instance the passing OF Bethlehem
Steel's extra dividend on classes A and
OF Its common stock yesterday.
Professional Wall Street was surprised
right out of its own boots when the
news came out because It had believed
that the extra would be paid again this
quarter. One of the reasons for the
surprise. according to rumors which
flew yesterday about commission houses,
was the fact that the directors Of
the company did not know what
they would do at the meeting. Tho an
nouncement caused a halt in a more or
less booming market IN the steel shares
and most OF the ono to two point gains
OF the earlier part OF the day were
wiped out Bethlehem itself was the
heaviest loser, dropping from its high
OF 10e back to par and closing the day
within fraction Of that point. a net loss
of four points

New Issues.

The avidity with which the investing
public is seeking new securities, posi-
bllities Of which are bright, was demon
strated yesterday again. Bankers who
made offerings of two new stocks closed
their books within a few minutes after
they had been opened with announce
nents that the issues had been heavily
oversubscribed. One OF these was the
Shell Transportation and Trading Com
pany, which was subscribed six times
over In fifteen minutes. The other was
the American Ship and Commerce Cor
poration, a new organization which
will include tho Cramp Shlpbuild-
Ing Company. Trading IN Shell Trans
port started during the morning on
the curb and from its first price of
60. the stock sold up to 74lS. Shell
holds 40 per cent. and Royal Dutch 60
per cent Of the two concerns, the
Bataafsche Petroleum Company and the
Anglo-Saxon Petroleum Company. The
former produces oil and the latter tran
sports and distributes it. Shells Ameri-
can interests are in stock control Of tho
Roxana Petroleum Company and the
Shell Company of California.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Food stock. work Higher.

The sudden shift in sentiment toward
the steel stocks during the middle Of the
market did not extend yesterday through
the whole list, and, while the market
was very irregular. due to cross currents
Of speculation and rather heavy profit
taking orders, put In when stocks touched
their highest point. at midmorning. a
few OF the specialties, which have been
recent favorites. practically all Of the
food stoclts, the tobacco stocks and the
automobile accessory groups held prac-
tically nll OF their gains. The strength
in the food stocks alone furnished a
bright SPOT In the market and was aided
by considerable underground talk that
Germany was angling for the establish
ment Of a large credit In this country
and that Il would be spent entirely on
food. California Packing. Corn Prod

the First National Bank that It has an

loans. The First National is the first
bank to make such an announcement
and the innovation will be watched with

circumstances such a dlfferential should
exist between railroad and straight In
