make bad showing. Their total of
$33, 100000 compared with $36,30O,-

encouraging. They were $12,240 900
in January, $11,883,00O in February
and $1,000, 900 in March. But in

extra dividend The directors have
continually intimated that they re-
garded the common as a 5 per cent
stock. They pay extra dividends
from quarter to quarter, as they are
currently earned. There is no SEN
timent about them. When Steel
directors, for several consecutive
meetings, declared ! u per cent "reg-
uiar" on the common and per cent
extra, some folk called Steel common
a Il per cent stock, but that was
merely their whim. 1t has never

Mr.. Pescador says that the plan of
leasing American cars or permitting
then TO be employed In handling inter-

tins time, for the reason the National
Railways are SO short of locomotives
that 1t is impossible to handle any
more cars than are now available ia.

The omission of an extra dividend
by the Steel Corporation will doubt
less be regarded as disappointing.
A reduction from the declaration of
l per cent extra, made three months
ago, was expected. A reduction had
been discounted. But Wall Street
had been talking of 25 cents or of so
cents extra, which latter would have
been equal to a total dividend rate,
