 Enormous interest is being taken in the building of the palace by every class of folk in Catalonia. Notable Catalan artists have under taken to decorate the various apart ments, furnishers to provide the ne cessary furniture, rug-weavers to supply the carpet, crystal workers to install the hanging lamps, librarians to fill the library, musicians to give the music. These voluntary gifts are estimated to be worth over a million pesetas.
 The future royal seat is being built entirely of materials produced in Catalonia itself, the idea being to m Ike 1t a permanent exposition of the manufactures and products of the region.
 When their majastigs come for the formal inauguration. they will already be able to make their temporary resi- dence in the new palace, but the work cannot be completed in all it's details until the coming spring.
 Advantage is to be taken of the presence of the foreign representa- tiyes to make official announcement of the Universal Electrical Exposi- tion of 1925.

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Consolidated Gas.

The Consolidated Gas Company's s
shares were bid up sharply yesterday
morning in anticipation of q favorable
decision on the company's rate increase
by the United States Supreme Court.
When the court adjourned for full
month without making any decision
there was a scurry. to sell the stock.
and it broke from a top figure Of 90h
to low of So1s closing at S6%. with
net loss Of 2 points. The company has
collected about SIC. 100000 on the higher
rate. which. If the court decision favor
it. may be put into It's surplus and the
dividend on its common stock declared
without question. On the other hand,
should an adverse decision be rendered.
the dividend on the common stock is
very much in doubt. because almost
all of the corporations surplus was
wiped out by its big losses of 1921. 1t
is understood that under the decree of
the lower court the company has been
permitted to invest the money III its
properties. Consequently IL the Supreme
Court should decide the higher gas rate
illegal and order the increase refunded
the company will have to arrange
financing for that purpose. The direc-
tors have left the matter of the COM
mon dividend to the executive commit
tee. which meets to-day. and 1t Is be-
lieved that in view OF the failure of the
Supreme Court to render decision
yesterday action on it will be deferred
for q month at least.

More OIL Tankage.

Huge additions to the tankage facili-
ties in Oklahoma were reported yester-
day in Tulsa dispatches. The Sinclair
Crude Oil Purchasing Company has pur-
chased seventeen additional $4,000 barrel
tanks for its Cushing tank farm. A
total of 100000 barrels Of steel storage
remain to be filled under the present
program in that territory. 1t was said.
When that program be completed. Sim
clair will have about 15.250.O00 barrels
OF tanked crude oil In the northern mid
continent district. Cosden e. Co. have
purchased 3S5,00O barrels of tanked crude
in Henrietta, Okla. for 1926 a barrel.
The tankage for the oil also was pur-
chased, making the total transaction
about $950.00o. The purchase was made,
1t was said. for refinery needs. and the

steel statement To-day.

Wall Street is awaiting with great
interest this afternoon the meeting of
tho United States Steel Corporation
directors. in which dividends for the
quarter will be declared and its earnings
statements for the final three months of
1921 made public. 1t is not expected
that there will be any change in it's
common stock or preferred stock divi-
dends, but the figures Of earnings will
be read with great interest. General
opinion among steel men Is that the
corporations earnings will approximate
those of the third quarter, when they
emounted to $1s,91S,05S. which left Just
o. little less than the amount needed to
pay the preferred dividend. If that show
ing be repeated, the years operations
will have resulted in a deficit of about
S15.6S5.000 after dividends. In other
words the corporation will have earned
in 1921 about $1.90 a share on its COM
mon stock after preferred dividends.
