TO OFFER ISSUE OF
SHELL TRANSPORT
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Have $780,
600 Shares of Common
Will Form Syndicate.

Announcement was made yesterday by
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. that they have $780,
600 shares of the common stock of the
Shell Transport and Trading Company.
Ltd, of London, England. The stock is
to be offered for subscription here in
the near future. A syndicate will be
formed by Kuhn. Loeb & Co to-day to
introduce the shares in the local mar
ket.
The Shell Transport and Trading
Company Is reputed to be the largest
oil concern in England. 1t owns with
the Royal Dutch Company extensive
properties in nearly every corner OF the
world, For the last ten years it has had
an unbroken dividend record of total cash
disbursements of 305 per cent, in add
ton to valuable subscription rights Of
fered from time to time to stockholders.
Besides these disbursements, the COM
pany last year paid a stock dividend OF
90 per cent.
Those dividends were maintained
throughout the war period, notwith-
standing the fact that many of the COM
pany's properties were closed down. Now
a large proportion of those properties
has been placed again in operation, and
interests close to the company look for
improvement in earnings as result
Besides the reopening Of the properties,
further improvement in net earnings is
expected to be shown as a result of re-
duction of British war profits taxes
which were maintained at so per cent
through the war but which have been
reduced to 40 per cent.
In connection with the purchase, II
was declared by banker yesterday that
some improvement in sterling might re-
suit from the transaction, which will
require. it is expected. more than $685.
100000. While that is a comparatively
small amount. in the present state OF
the sterling exchange market it is very
likely TO affect rates.
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. last night sent out
to bankers a syndicate letter setting
forth the terms Of the offering and de-
tails concerning 1t, which will be made
public probably to-day. No information
as to who would form the syndicate OF
what the terms OF the offering would be
could be obtained yesterday.
