Bethlehem Meeting Tame

The annual stockholders mceting of
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation yes
terday in Newark was a tame affair
contrasted with some of the proceed
lngs of previous years. Although di-
rectors three months ago placed the
dividend rate on a regular per cent
and per cent extra basis, no one
present evinced interest enough to
ask any. questions concerning the fut-
ure dividend policy of the company.
The annual meeting two years ago is
remembered because of the activities
of one c. H. Venner, who sought to
prevent the authorization of the $50
100000 note issue which was sold to
reimburse the company for outlays
on munition contracts for the old
Russian government, which were paid
for in British Treasury notes that
early this year There were
only about twenty present.

Famous Debt Case Settled
Nirginia-West Virginia Dispute
Is Finally Ended

The resolution providing for set
tlement of the historic Virginia. Vest
Virginia debt case was finally passed
yesterday by the Legislature of West
Virginia and signed by the Governor,
according to advices reaching the
financial district. This controversy
dates back to Civil War days.
The terms of settlement are that
West Virginia shall pay $1,1OO,OOO in
cash and S13,40O,00O in 31s per cent
twenty-year sinking fund bonds, less
Sl,0O0,0OO in bonds to be held in the
west Virginia treasury against GER
tam certificates of indebtedness which
nave been lost and never presented.
The total amount of certificates is
sued by Virginia on account of West
Vlrginia's abrogation on the ante Civil
War debt of the old undivided Com
monwealth of Virginia was reported
as $18,227, 1853, of which S2,745, ,462 are
held by the Supreme Court The pub
lie holds $13,4S1 ,691, of which S14.346,-
607 were deposited with Brown, Broth
ers G. Co.
These certificates represent issues
under the acts of 1871, 1879, 1882 and
1892. BY far the greater portion were
issued under the act of 1871. Certifi-
Gates have been issued for interest as
we'll as principal. The certificates of
1871 are listed on the Stock Exchange.
The settlement of the case is re-
garded by bankers as tribute to the
work of the committee which was
formed in July, 1898, under the direc-
tion of Brown, Brothers g. Co. The
members are Eugene Delano, chair
man; Thatcher M. Brown, Guy Cary
George f. Baker, Bartlett S. Johnson,
To nd
Great difficulties were met with in
discovering the holders of the bonds
and securing united action, as many
were held abroad.

neapolis were a cent higher. while
Winnipeg was up 5-s cent. Corn trad
ing was dull in the local cash market,
but prices were firm. No. yellow and
No. 2 white were quoted at $1.80A, cost
and freight to New York. The local

Hog Prices Almost
Back to War Levels

CHICAGO, April Hog prices
passed the $40 mark upward bound to-
day, when they were quoted at $2010
per hundred at the stockyards. The
highest wartime price was $21 last fall.
During the winter prices dropped
slightly under S18, but have been ad-
vancing since the government mini
mum prices guarantee was taken off
nearly a month ago. At the United
States Bureau of Markets this recent
advance was ascribed to heavy demand,
coupled with the fact that the winter
run of hogs was largely shipped out
during the winter, leaving the supply
comparatively light until the new run
of hogs begins in May or June.
