Arbitrage Trading
Between n. Y. and
London to Resume
Operations to Begin To-day
Will Be Virtually Re-
verse of What They
We're in Pre-War DAYS

Joint account arbitrage between the
New York and London Stock Ex-
changes will be officially resumed to-
day for the first time since 1914, when
it was discontinued because of the
war. Under the new arrangements,
however, operations between the two
great security markets will be prac-
tically the reverse of what they used
to be, according to arbitrageurs.
In the days before the war this
country's adverse trade balance often
made it advisable to sell American
securities in London, but it is now ex-
pected that Great Britain will sell it's
own securities here so far as the new
regulations permit. The principal
medium for European selling on the
New York Stock Exchange now lies in
the Royal Dutch and Shell Transport
issues, into which the English Sc
curities can be exchanged.
Arbitrage experts stated yesterday
that the volume of transactions be-
tween New York and London will be
greatly restricted under the new ar
rangement, due largely to the high
premium on the dollar in Great Brit
ain and the slow cable service. Where
as in former days it was possible to
transmit message in code to Lon
don in q few minutes it now takes
from four to five hours.
Though to-day will mark the for
NAL resumption of arbitraging
between New York and London it was
STATED in banking circles that a heavy

Observation-Disclosures Dividends

Question: would be very glad if you
would give me some information regarding
the capitalization and general standing Of
the IL nerSon Bra n Ing ham Company, Of
Rockford, Ill. | own fifty shares preferred
stock Of this company l7 per cent? which
is now paying dividends after a default
from November J. 1914, to May T. 1919;
purchased August I, 1912 at par and in
tcrost. understood that the preferred
dividends were cumulative, but no default
ed dividends have been paid.--FI. s. w.
Answer-The Emerson-B n-Brantingham
Company has outstanding 2,170, 500 7
per cent cumulative preferred and $18,-
1872 500 common stocks, par 500. There
is 28 per cent due on the preferred
stock. The company's earnings have
not been large even during the boom
years. In 1919 the equivalent of 1887
per cent was earned on the preferred,
in 1913 1854 per cent, in 1917 1853 per
cent, in 1916 2.S8 per cent, in 1915 1t66,
per cent, in 1914 n deficit, in 1913 LA
per cent. 1t will thus be seen that the
margin was none too great. Last Feb
ruary the president of the company
stated that it was deemed advisable
not to pay accrued back dividends on
the preferred for the present. If gen
cral business conditions permi tied this
might be arranged for There appears
to have been no reason, then, in our
opinion, to expect any such action.

 to Millions Made

New York, Una. 15.-George Ora ham Rice now New York stock broker, charged with the theft of s72l from Rudolph W. Hartman of Mansfield, O., today barred to jury the story of life, which ranged rom prison sentences to the conduct of a business which he said returned iver $35,000,000 in two years. Rlce stated that the money Hartman sent him for purchase of securities prob ably had been lost in his office. He said he personally never handledi matters which involved less than s4c,000.
 Rice admitted his real name is Simon Jacob Herzog.
 His crime career began in 1895, he said, when he was sent to the Ei- mira Refomratory. A complaint made by his father brought this, his first conviction, for grand larceny, he said Without hesitation he told of being sent to Sing Sing for six years. He first gained nationwide notoriety when he ran a race track tipping bureau under the name of "Maxim and Gay"
 In describing the size Of his busi- ness, to hear out his contention that Hartman's money and orders for se- curities might have been lost in his office, Rice said he occupied two floors of an office building in 1917 and 1913, and employed from 150 to 200 persins, 50 of whom were kept busy in day and night shifts setting type for thousands of circulars he sent out

Lumber Interests In China Seeking
 Filipino Timber

Shanghai, Dec. 1O.-Lumber inter- ests in China and particularly in Shanghai, as result of the boycott movement against Japan, are report ed engaged in a project to obtain raw timber in future from the Philip pines. In former years the volume of Japan's lumber trade with China has run into millions of tons annual ly.
 David S. N. Hsia, a graduate of the Philippine School of Forestry, said to have been sent here by the Philippine government with the ap- proval of Governor General Harrison, has just completed survey of China's lumber market and study of means by which Philippine lumber may be most economically brought here.
 Chinese wood workers, carpenters and builders are said to manifest an increasing aversion against the use of Japanese lumber.
 Upon the completion of MT. Hsia's survey it was announced that in fu- ture the Philippines would undertake to supply large portion, if not the bulk, of China's lumber needs. An intention expressed was to apply to the United States shipping authorities with the request that boats be sup piled to encourage the growth of the new business
