Plan to Increase
Allied Chemical Stock
Holders Asked to Ratify Pro-
posal for Issue of 500.
100000 PreferraH

Stockholders of the Allied Chemical
Dye Corporation will be asked at a
meeting called for March to vote on
a proposition to increase the companv,s
authorized stock by $60,OOO,OO0 addi
Vlonai preferred and 100000 shares
addltlonal common. The present capt.
talzatlon consists of $37,326, 400 of pre-
1erred and 2,143,455 shares of no par
Value common. BY voting fayorablv
the stockholders will increase the
amount of capital with which the cor
poration will carry on business from
$48,043,675 to $113,043,675.
in explaining the purpose of the pro-
posed increase, William H. Nichols,
chairman of the board, says:
"As announced by the Chemical Con-
solidation Committee, the plan of con-
solidation was carried into effect on
December 80, 1920, by this compary's
acquisition of substantially all the out
standing stock of each of the consoli-
dating companies in consideration for
the issue of all this company's author
lied stock. In certain cases, however,
stockholders of the consolidating COM
plan were unable to comply with the
necessary formalities for that purpose
within the time allowed. 1t has, there
fore, been determined to afford to such
stockholders, as we'll as to others who
failed to deposit their holdings under
the plan, further opportunity for a
limited period to exchange their hold
ings for this company's stock on the
basis of the plan. Additional deposits
have been invited accordingly and sub
stantial additional amounts of stock
have already been deposited. The pres
ent proposed increase Of this company's
authorized stock is required, in part,
to provide stock for issue in exchange
for these additional deposits.
an proceeding for increase of the
authorized stock at the present time,
as thus required, the board deems it
advisable that the opportunity be taken
to provide, in addition, an adequate
reserve of authorized stock which, al
though not now required, will be avail
able for future issue from time to
time, as may be found desirable, with
out the necessity of repeated proceed
ines for successive stock increases IN
smaller amounts"

merger last fall of the General Chem
ical Company, the Solvay Process Com
pany, the Demet-solvay Company, the

Cotton Advances

Improved Spot Demand in
Liverpool and Reduction
of Estimate of Worlds
Available Supply Factors

There was distinct Improvement in
the cotton market yesterday, both in
the action of prices and the volume of
business. This was encouraged by bet
ter accounts from Liverpool and Man
chester, the firmness of sterling ex-
change rates, more optimistic feel
ing in Wall Street circles and reports
that reduced estimates of the East In
dian crop had caused revision of
figures on the worlds available supply
for the season. May contracts were
relatively firm, selling up to 14,50, or
81 points net higher, and closing at
14.40, with the general market closing
steady at a net advance of Al to 81
points, about half cent a pound.
For the first time in several weeks LiV-
erpool reported an Improvement in spot
demand and a better tone in Manchester.

tion compared with these figures the de-
of 500 pounds each, which would naturally
mean corresponding decrease in the

season. This did not affect the statistics
of American cotton, but evidently made
quite an impression on sentiment.
