Steel Foundries Plans
Increase in Capital
Stockholders Asked to Vote
Approval of Additional
Common Stock

Stockholders of the American Steel
Foundries Company are asked to vote
at q special meeting March 1S on the
proposal Of the directors to increase
the common stock capitalization from
N5,52O shares (par value $3333 Is
each) to 10000 shares. In connection
With the proposed increase, R. P. La
mont states in a letter to the common
stockholders that the company has ac-
eumulated large surplus, which, since
it represents money spent, cannot be
distributed in cash. without reducing
the cash working capital to less thar
the amount required for the conduct Of
the business
"It may, however, very properly be
capitalized through the issuance of
stock" said Mr.. Lamont, (which in
turn may be distributed to the stock
holders as a stock dividend at, say, 5
to 10 per cent year over the next few
lears, irrespective of any cash divl-
lends that may be paid

Strike of Shoe Machinists
Causes Concern in Trade

The report that 4,200 machinists and
machinists' helpers employed by the
United Shoe Machinery Company walked
out on strike yesterday caused con-
siderable comment in the local leather
trade. AS this company supplies shoe
making machinery to most of the large
footwear manufacturers, it is thought
that the strike will have an unpleasant
effect on the trade, especially since
many of the manufacturers had con-
templated building additional units to
their plants, in which many new shoe
making machines were to have been
installed Inasmuch as it has been
exceedingly difficult for some time to
receive prompt shipments on shoe
making machinery, it is thought that
the strike will cause footwear manu-
facturers to somewhat alter their build
ing plans.

United States Realty-Nipissing

Question-Wi you please give ME some
information regarding United States Realty
ana Improvement? Can you give me a list
OF some Of their properties? Do you con-
slider them good inves tment at the present
price of the stock? l have been receiving
some booklets about Nipissing Silver from a
brokerage firm. Is this company owning
Nipissing an honest one? | mean, do they
do a square business or are they in the Wild
cat class? | see that Nipssing is represented
as the largest silver producing mine in
America In these booklets il remember
rightly. How do you regard this company
%. o.
Answer-United States Realty and
Improvement Company owns among
others the Trinity Building, the United
States Realty Building, the Flatiron
Building and the Whitehall Building,
all in New York City. Most of these
properties are mortgaged. There is
also debenture 5 per cent mortgage,
due July l., 1924, to the extent of Sill
$4,000 and S16,162,S0O stock, par $10O.
The last dividend on the stock was l
per cent, paid February /, 1915. Earn
ings of the company have shown great
Improvement since the price of real es-
tate and rents have advanced. For
the year ended April 80, 1910, the com
pany earned $1,4o0,096 after interest
charges, equal to 9.16 per cent on the
stock. The stock is not an investment
in our opinion. 1t may softer specula-
tive possibilities. The bonds, due in
about four years, appear to offer
greater possibilities. They sell for
about rs. Nipissing Mines has been a
good silver producer. TIE company is
not by any means the largest in Amer
'ca. For 1918 it produced 1901 ,416
ounces of silver, while the Anaconda
Copper Company produced 10,967,9O
ounces Of silver. Nipissing, however
has shown good earnings. 1t pays &c
per cent ($1 share), with extras of 1
per cent, on $6,00O000 capital, par SIS
There appears to be a good supply OF
ore reserves. The stock offers specula-
tive possibilities.

Answer-The stocks you have pur-
chased for investment are not entitled

ception of Rock Island, are common

much depends in the case Of the rail-
