u. S. Industrial Alcohol

Question - Sometimes United States
Industrial Alcohol is reported as pay
ing SIG dividends, sometimes $8-what
does it pay now? What are the "rights"
on it, when do they come off? What
does a share of stock carry with it at
present? What are latest reports of
earnings? Please give latest reports
Of American Hide and Leather. What
is status of its preferred stock as to
unpaid dividends? Is there any plan
for these payments ?-H. Z. B.
Answer - On October 7, 1919, the
stockholders of the United States
Industrial Alcohol Company voted to
increase the capital from S12,Q0O,000
to $24,000,000. 1t now pays per cent
on the new capitalization. The new
stock was offered to stockholders at
$40 a share. The stock sold ex rights
November 18. The earnings for six
months ended June 30, 1919, equaled
1917 per cent per annum, after taking
the new stock into account. American
Hide and Leather preferred stock has
accruals of III per cent. The year
ended September 30, 1919, showed the
equivalent of $500 per cent earned on
the preferred issue, against 2O.54 per
cent for 1918. No plan has been an
nounced for the payment of back divi-
dends, although it is said that COM
mittee has been appointed to work out
a plan.

Curb to Spend
ver S500,00O
On New Building g
President of Association
Says Outside M ark e t
Will Be Under a Roof
Within Twelve Months
The Curb is going under a roof.

The Curb is going under roof.
E. H. Mccormick, president of the
New York Curb Market Association,
yesterday declared that the largest
outdoor Security market in the world
would be indoors within year. The
New York Curb Market Realty Asso-
citation, which was organized by the
brokers to acquire property, yesterday
closed deal for the site Of the old
ing, on Trinity Place and Greenwich
Street, facing the west end of the
Trinity Church property Mr. McCoc-
mick said $l,000,00Q had been paid for
The property and that the deal had
been arranged by William Pierre
Jockin, real estate operator, of 80
Broadway. The American Bank Note
Company sold it's property on Trinity
Place to Blaine Ewing, acting as repre-
sentative of a syndicate, several week s
ago.
For Curb Members Only
Although plans have not yet been
formulated for building, Mr. McCor-
mick said that between $5OO,OOO and
100000 would be spent J. L. McCor-
mack, president Of the Curb Market
Realty Association, said that the build
ing would be only for the use of the
Curb, and would contain no Offices for
outsiders. The trading floor, he said,
would be modelled after the floor of the
New York Stock Exchange. Dues for
members Of the Curb Association, of
which there are 500, he added. would
be raised from $25 year to $3.50. and
the price of a seat to new members
would be $4,000.
The movement for shelter on the
part of the Curb has been developing
for three years and, according to the
president of the Curb Association,
would have eliminated earlier this
year except for the fact that from
July until a few weeks ago the Stock
Exchange authorities were considering
the advisability of bringing the Curb
indoors under its own auspices. They
recently, however, decided in the mega
tive. and have not officially gone on rec
ord as to it's attitude toward the pres
ent enterprise Of the Curb Mr.. Nc
Cormack said he anticipated no opposi-
tion. The Curb will continue to deal In
a different set Of securities.
After it has left Broad Street and
become housed in its new domicile,
provided the announced plans are car
rled out, it will probably be known as
the New York Curb Exchange. One of
the fundamental changes By Mr.. Nc
Cormick as result of the removal
will be the creation of regular money
market for the Curb and the standard
lzation Of making bank loans against
Curb stock collateral.
Will Elevate Standards
Il feel confident" the president of
the Curb Association said last night.
that going indoors will greatly elevate
the Curb, through enabling the asso-
citation to execute effectively its ru!ea
and regulations.
AT present 0roner and au-
thentic record of Curb transactions is
impossible, because considerable
number of trades are made by non-
members, who cannot be excluded from
tho open-air market place. These men
are not subject to the rules Of the
Curb Association, and In the past have

not confined their practices to the die
tates of good business ethics.
In the indoor market, with only
bona fide members trading, proper su-
pervision can be exercised. a ticker
service installed and quotations on
securities and as we'll a correct record
of trasactions can be published'
Mr.. Mccormick was asked whether
he did not think that the non-members
would continue to trade on Broad
Street in an informal way. He replied
that he thought not. because corpora
tions, in his opinion, would make eff
forts to get listed on the Curb instead
Of remaining outside in what, he said.

American Ship and Commerce

Question: have 100 shares Of Amer
lean Ship and Commerce. bought at "A.
This stock has declined steadily.
Would you advise selling now or has
the stock future? I would also like
to know about the prospects for United
States Steamship on the Curb. d.
Answer-Amcrican Ship and Com
merce has yet to demonstrate it's earn
ing power. The stock was brought out
at a time when speculation was rife
and, in our opinion, sold higher than its
value warranted. Should the general
market take turn for the better 1t
will probably follow. United States
Steamship Company is said to be plan
ming to expand its shipbuilding opera
tions. It has recently offered stock
holders the privilege to subscribe the
stock in the United States Transport
Company, formed to operate the ships
built by the steamship company. The
stock. in our opinion, offers fair spec
ulation only.

Shipping Demands
OF THE
West Indian Trade

ME trade of the United States
with the West Indies is Of an
extent that is not always fully
appreciated. 1t is in fact as great
as that with all of South America,
two-thirds as much as that with
Asia and the East Indies and four
and one-half times that with all Of
Africa. This trade is one Of the
most f1ourishing developments Of
American commerce.
The result has been to throw an
especially heavy demand on shio-
ping facilities between this coun-
try and these islands, particularly
Cuba, so great as to prevent these
facilities from equalling the re-
quirements. In consequence, ship
ping between North American and
West Indian ports calls for the
utilizing of every vessel that can
carry a cargo, and this demand
tor tonnage makes itself felt in
steadily maintained freight rates
on such shipments.
We offer an attractive serial
First Mortgage Bond of a
shipping company engaged in
the Cuban trade. Average
earnings about 8 times Inter
est Charges.
