Copenhagen, Jan. 5.-Owing to the
industrial depression and unemploy-

STOCK INCREASES
over Two billion
Standard Oil Leads List With
Many Changes in Policy

New York. Jan. 5 (By the Asso-
ciated Press)-Increases in capital
stock Of several hundred corporations
in the last three months of 1922
amounted to more than $4,000, 900, 900
and indications are that the total soon
will be great increased. Nearly all
of these increases have been distribut-
ed to stockholders in stock divi-
dends."
The Standard Oil companies and
subsidiaries have led the list in the
size and amount of their stock divi-
dends. The industries involved have
included safety razor companies, cot
ton mills, banks insurance companies
machine shops and manufacturing
concerns. The stock dividends have
ranged from two per cent of the out
standing ca pital stock of the corpora
by the Within Machine Works of
Boston.
The big movement to capitalize the
surplus earnings of corporations begin
last October when the Gulf Oil Co., of
New Jersey, announced its plans to
form the Gulf Oil Company, of Penn
sylvania, and give stockholders in the
old company an equal share in the
new company and a 200 per cent stock
dividend. Andrew l.. Mellon, brother
of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon,
is president of the company.
This was followed by rumors in the
financial districts that other big oil
and corporations were con-
stock dividends after capt.
talizing their large SURPRISES Stock
quotations Of those companies rose
sharply, but almost invariably fell off
New Britain herald., 1923-01-05

again after stock dividends were de.
clared The big Standard Oil com.
panies were among the first to U.
crease their capitalization and declare
dividends in stock. and then the move
ment became general.
The Standard Oil of New Jersey on
announcing an increase in capitalize
ton OF s515,000,0 900 and a 400 stock
dividend, stated there was no reason
to believe that the old rate of dividend
would be maintained on the new
stock. 1t was declared that the cap
italized surplus of the company rep
resented undivided profits Of many
years that had been returned to the
business and was held as property of
all kinds necessary to the transaction
of the company's business. Only a
small part of the surplus was repre-
scented by cash. it was asserted.
Many of the stockholders receiv-
ing stock dividends on their holdings
found. in effect, that they had received
the equivalent of four quarters for
the dollar they had held before, as
there was no prospect of receiving
more cash dividends in the future on
their increased stock holdings than
they had received previously.
The general belief in Wall street is
that the reason for the great number
of stock dividends declared is that
with large surplus earn
ings feared legislation designed to
levy on thei- surplus capital in the
near future. There was a referendum
in Switzerland last fall on proposal
to make capital levy on corporations
and wealthy individuals. While that
was defeated by an overwhelming
popular vote, the capital levy is still
being advanced as means of assist
ing government finances by radical
in Great Britain, and there
has been talk of similar measures in
this country.
Spokesman for the Standard Oil
have stated that their COM
panies have always been capitalized
and that the surplus earnings on
which taxes have already been paid
