about SIT share, compared with the
closing price on the Curb yesterday of
72% for the American shares, which
were offered by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. for
subscription here last week at 50. The
allotments were approximately 1872
per cent of the total subscribed. The
current discrepancy between the New
York and London quotations is believed
to be due to the desire of some of the
subscribers to sell their holdings rather
than take them up when the payments

ment was based on shipments Of 1850.

March ............... 9,390,19O
The surplus after all charges, in
Guiding preferred dividends, was
equivalent to 2.20 per cent on the
$508,302, 500 common stock outstanding.
compared with 283 per cent earned in
the December quarter Of 1918, and 7.21
per cent in the March quarter of 1918.
The assumption has been that the
forthcoming statement will be even
less favorable than that Of the first

some quarters that the corporation
would not show earnings equal to the
amount of the quarterly common stock

A Bond Dividend Era?

In both the Dawson and Edge plans
for financing the purchases Of Europe
in this market it is proposed to make
American industry assume q part Of
the risk and bear as large a part OF
the burden as can be safely imposed.
Manufacturers are to be called upon
to take part payment for the goods
they sell to Europe in the form of
European obligations or obligations of
an American company based on Euro
pean security. If either Of these plans
should be adopted, an era of bond
dividends might follow. Being re-
quired to accept part payment for their
goods in the form Of collateral, indus
trial companies would be under the
necessity of conserving cash. Doubt
less the stockholders would be content
to accept good securities in lieu of
cash. 1t will be recalled that the
munitions companies which took large
blocks of Anglo-French bonds in 1915
followed this procedure.
The Market Slows Down
Yesterdays stock market, measured

extremely Irregular, and the market

Rate ATTACK
IS ovERRuLED
Class Charges Of Santa Fe
Are Upheld,

WASHINGTON, April l0.--All
specifications except those affecting q
few class rates cited in . complaint
Of the Colorado public utilities COM
mission sgainst the Atohi.on. Topeka
I Santa Fe and other railroads. were
overruled today In a decision Of the
interstate Commerce commission. The
Colorado complain, attacked virtually
all class and many commodity rates
between Colorado and points TO the
west, south and east, and attracted
unusual interest because Of intervcn-
tion by several other complainants, in
cluding the New Mexico commission,
the Utah traffic bureau and various
civic organizations.
The commission held that, although
Z lew class rates were unduly preju-
dieial, exceeding its maximum rate
allowances. the record did not con-
elusively establish that other class
rates to points north, south and ives,
OF Denver were unjust. No necessity
was shown, according to the decision,
tor outbound western commodity
rates from Denver.
Proof also was found TO be lack
Ing that class rates between Chicago,
the Mississippi and the Missouri river
territory on one hand. and Colorado
common points on the other, were un-
just.
The commissioners found no aAe.
quate basis for readjus,ing commodity
rates between the same eastern and
western points nor for changing ocean
and rail rates to Colorado via Gal
weston.
