1870 Stock Dividend
Voted by National
Biscuit Directors
Plan Contemplates Doubling
Authorized Common and
Splitting Shares 4 for L;
Call Meeting for Nov. Is

Directors Of the National Biscuit
Company yesterday voted to submit to
shareholders plan for declaring q
75 per cent common stock dividend
after the $30,Ooo,O0O authorized COM
mon stock has been doubled and the
par value of the shares changed from
Sl0O to $25. This would give to each
stockholder seven shares. of S25 par
stock for each share now held. The
FORMAL announcement Of the board
made public after the close OF the stock
market, said:
The usual preferred dividend was
declared, IN per cent payable Novem-
per 20, to stockholders of record
November 7.
Directors voted to submit to share
holders proposition to double the
authorized common stock and change
the par value from S100 share to S25
a share. After such action they will
declare 75 per cent stock dividend,
winch will give to common stockholders
seven shares of s25 par for each share
OF common of 500 par now held.
They have called meeting of
stockh olders for November Is. The
usual action of directors on the cash
common dividend was postponed until
after the stockholders meeting"
In declaring a big stock dividend
National Biscuit directors are taking
action similar to that of number of
Standard Oil Companies with large un-
divided surplusses. At the end Of 1921
the company had profit and loss sur
plus of $22 2,9S3,723, and net working
capital of S19,09s,901. Never before
in Its history has the company seen fit
to declare a stock dividend.
The sensational advance in the stock
during the last few weeks gave Wall
Street the first inkling that develop
ments important to stockholders were
pending. Yesterdays high OF 215N
compared with low for the year of
1891.

industrial Cottons Sell Better

Heavy cotton goods for Industrial
uses are moving in larger volume than
at any time in the last two years, ac-
cording to some selling agents who
handle ducks, betting and similar goods
The general increase In manufacturing
in practically all lines has been re-
sponsible for the new demand for in
dustrial cottons. Sales during the last
week have been particularly heavy, It
is reported.
