UNITED FRUIT PAYS
DIVIDEND IN STOCK
Directors Declare 100 Per
Cent. Disbursement and
Vote Capital Increase.
RAISE rs TO S15O,0OO, 900
American Cigar Will Cut
Melon Of so Per Cent. on
Common and Add Capital.
RAISE is TO s15O,OOO, 900

Directors of the United Fruit Com
pany. meeting in Boston yesterday.
Soted q stock dividend amounting to
100 per cent, which would increase the
amount OF its outstanding stock from
S50.000.000 TO $100.000.000 of 500 par
value a share. The dividend Is payable
on January Is to stock of record on
December 20.
The directors also declared a divi-
dend Of 81 a share. payable on January
Is to stocks OF record on December 20,
which contrasts with previous divi-
dend of SO quarterly. or $12 per an
mum. The action is designed to place
the 100000. 900 of stock that will be
outstanding after the payment of the
100 per cent. stock dividend on SO
quarterly. or IS annual, basis.
The directors also recommended that
the company's authorized capital be in
creased from $75.000.00 to $150,000.-
900. and called a special meeting of its
stockholders for December to vote on
that proposal. The company's present
capital outstanding is $4,000, 900, it
having bought In 3.165 shares since It's
last annual report. Consequently after
the payment Of the 100 per cent. stock
dividend there win be s50,O00.000 of
unissued stock in the company's treas
ury.
Another vote taken by the United
Fruit directors was to merge the Nipe
Bay company with United Fruit under
New Jersey laws The later acquired
all OF the business and property of Nipe
Rsy In December. 1917, and the pro-
posed merger is nothing more or less
than a mere formality to enable proper
records of title to be registered.
In letter to its stockholders. Andrew
W. Preston, president of the company.
says that tho company, having outstand-
iig $50.000,0 900 Of stock, has surplus
Of more than $9O.000.0 900. approximately
90 per cent. OF which consists of cash
and cash assets. He says also that its
directors have decided to transfer
$50. 100000 Of the surplus to capital ac-
count, thus making possible the 100 per
cent stock dividend
Another stock dividend declared yes
terday was that of the American Cigar
Company, the directors Of which voted
so per cent dividend on it's common,
payable In common stock on December
Is to stock OF record on December l..
In order to make possible the payment
of that dividend the directors have called
n special meeting Of the company's stock
holders for November "a, in which they
will be asked to vote on the proposal to
increase It's authorized capital from $10,-
100000 of common stock to s5o,000,00

COTTON MARKET.

The cotton market was strong yes
terday, but the volume Of business
transacted was comparatively small.
There was little pressure to sell con-
tracts at any time in the day and prices
consequently moved So to 100 points
higher without any effort. The sessions
heaviest buyers were Liverpool inter-
ests and local shorts. the latter evening
up before election day. Most support
was created by strong Liverpool cables
and unsettled Southern weather. Cables
due about 10 to 20 points lower. opened
sharply higher. Liverpool reported bet.
ter spots business and Manchester noted
an improved demand for yarns and
cloths.
First prices on the local exchange
were 81 to 81 points net higher. Bush
ness was mixed at the opening and
moderately acti-e, The trend was up
ward during the forenoon. and the list
soon sold more than 75 points net
higher. The weather map showed mod
erately heavy precipitation in central
and western sections. and forecasts for
to-day called for colder weather In the
West with showers and lower tempera-
lures In States east of the Mississippi
The Clement-Curtis Company report
placing the condition OF cotton at 57.3
per cent. against SOL per cent. at the
end Of September and making the indi-
Gated yield 100000 bales, was not
market factor.
There was little doing In tho market
after midday. 1t seemed as though the
bulk of the business had been trans
acted In the first two hours. Wall
Street bought and sold a little during
the early afternoon, but the market
scarcely moved. New Orleans was a
moderate seller at times and local COM
mission houses bought some cotton. Lato
In the day there was a revival Of
earlier demand from shorts and the
market entered new high ground with
gain of approximately IS a bale, or
cent pound. The close was within
few points OF the top. 81 to 80 points
net higher. with local spot up so points
at 22.50.

GRAIN MARKET.

Wheat was dull and irregular yester-
day and closed u cent to ~ cents
bushel higher. The market opened high
err. but soon after encountered selling
which caused deliveries to decline 81
to ~ cents from the days high. Sell
ing was based on tho lack Of export de-
mand, rumors that Belgium was buying
more Indian wheat. reports that -four
was being reshipped from Cuba and good
crop reports from Australia and Argen-
tina. Cables from the latter country
estimated the Argentine surplus at no.
100000 to 130.000.000 bushels. There
was feeling that exporters were await
ing the outcome of the election. The
approach of the holiday kept outside in
terest down and professionals switched
quickly from one side OF the market to
the other. The decline was followed
by short covering, bears preferring to
even up before the close. Country Offer
ings were lighter and weather conditions
were believed to be against large ship
ments. The farmers strike Is keeping
bears from pressing the selling side very
actively. Receipts were liberal yester-
day and will be large Tomorrow
Corn was irregular following wheat
during most of the session. Prices closed
up Is cent bushel to off u cent. The
corn market was dominated by profess
sionals While there was some demand
from Canada. European demand was
lacking Cash corn was easier but pre-
mium5 were flrmer. Unsettled weather
Is believed to be against the movement.
Oats were dull and irregular, closing
of u cent to a cent bushel. Trading
N that grain was featureless and cash
demand was poor Indications were
that the visible supply would show an
other Increase.
Provisions were higher, due to better
tone of hogs.

Despite the low temperature of
Monday night, it was the general be-
lief of fruit men of this section to-
day that the peach crop had not been
injured in the least. According to
the government thermometer in the
hands of ]. M. Bryan, official obser-
yer, the minimum temperature Mon
day night was 81 degrees, or one de-
gree below the freezing point Heavy
frost was noted on house tops and
similar places, but little was report
ed on the ground or on vegetation.
Experts say that peaches in their
present stage of development are able
to survive a temperature of 23 de-
grees, which is considerably lower
than that reached Monday night. A
couple of weeks later, they say, freez-
ing temperature would probably be
disastrous.
Il went to my orchard at Maddox
station this morning. said J. E.
Poole, "and went all over the or
chard with my fruit man. We found
that no damage had been done. The
wind of Monday had dried all of
the rain and moisture out of the
buds, which kept the cold from doing
the damage it might have done"
Other orchard owners made similar
reports.
1t was said by farmers that the
damage to small cotton, much of
which had come up during the last
few days, would be very slight.
