Export Business
Growth Summed Up
Chicago.

Chicago, Jan. 22-(AP) - Five
years of progressive effort in the ex-..
tension of Americas export business
will be summed up in reports OF the
fifth annual meeting here January rs
Of the American Manufacturers For
eign Credit Insurance Exchange, a CO.
operative organization Of LOO firms
and corporations in thirty-four states.
These members have pooled their
credit information on 250,000 foreign
buyers of american products, the in
dex TO this vast amount Of business
information providing a basis upon
which tho exchange issues insurance
policies upon exports Of its members.
Almost $100,000,000 Of such insur-
ance has been written, covering ex-
ports to ninety-one countries in every
part of the world and every line of
American exports.
The actual loss on the first SIS, 000,-
900 of insurance written was slightly
in excess of $550,000 or, approximately
three-fourths of one per cent. Officers
estimate that at least 5000, 000,0 900
more Of American export business
was done on the basis of information
applied by the pooled ratings.
In the last eleven months more
than 100000 worth of orders to
Latin America were refused as I'M
worthy Of credit. Ordinarily fully
one-half Of those orders would have.
been filled, it is pointed out, but due
to the immense mass of inside" in
formation of the exchange, the buyers
were unable to obtain shipments from
any of the exchange members.
The vast supply of ledger informa-
ton reveals the first signs Of over
buying. SO members are warned
against over extending credits. 1t also
is possible to foretell actual bank
ruptcy and by speedy diversion of
shipments en- route hold losses to a
minimum,

Lockwood Company
Passes Dividend
On Common Stock

! The Lockwood Company of this
city has passed the dividend upon
common stock accordin to an an
nouncement of the directors. This
comes somewhat as a surprise to the
stockholders as this concern has al
ways had a high dividend rate rang
ing from six per cent as high as
thrice that amount
The cause as given by the direc-
tors lies in the fact that the govern
ment has claimed $4,000 as taxes
from which the company had been
exempt during a recent period. This
has caused severe drain upon the
cash of the company and on this ac-
count the directors have considered
it wise to withhold all payments in
the nature of dividend until after
general business conditions improve
The basis reason Tor the non-pay-
ment of this dividend is the condi-
ton of the business world at the
present time and the general condi-
ton of the textile world. The cotton
textile business has been for some
time very weak and at the present
time it does not show much evidence
of an immediate rally. The Lock-
wood company has felt the pressure
Of poor business conditions as have
all other mills and companies in this
trade and wi hstood the non-pay-
ment of the dividend as long as pos
Sible.
A large amount of money has been
spent recently in improvement of
property of the company and during
the past six years a million and a
half dollars have been set aside for
this purpose. Due to this wise ex-
penditure the condition of the COM
pany's property is very fine and with
the resumption of normal business
conditions in the textile trade the
Lockwood company should be one of
the first to show prosperity.

BOgas Discharged
On Breaking Charge
Waterville Court

Christie Bogas, arraigned before the
municipal court here yesterday morn
ing on charge of breaking, entering
and larceny, was discharged by Judge
Charles w. Atchley due to lack of ev-
idence against him. 1t was alleged
that Bogas stole goods and cash
amounting to $3.50 from the home of
Matthias Verbs on the afternoon on
January IA. Verbs suspected Bogas
of the crime and caused his arrest.
The evidence presented consisted of a
rather indefinite accusation by Verbs
which was corroborated by James
Spiro and John Delis, who stated that
they thought the accused was guilty
but could produce no conclusive evil
Slence.
In Verdis' testimony he told the
court that he returned to his home late
in the afternoon on the date In Ques-
ton and found that larceny of the
stated articles had occurred. He i'm
mediately suspected Bogas, he said.
because of the fact that the latter
knew the means of gaining entrance
to the room where the theft occurred
and also the location of the stolen ar
ticles. Verbs went to Bogas and ac-
cused him of the theft, and the latter,
tearing consequences, promised to re-
pay the money to avoid arrest. al
though he claimed innocence. Spiro
and Dels supported Verdis by stating
that they heard Bogas make the prom
Use of repayment. but further than this
they could not make any definite asser-
tion. Bogas was neither seen in the
house nor did he at any time admit
guilt, and because of this the case
against him was too weak to admit of
conviction. Upon hearing the evidence
Judge Atchley dismissed the case and
the accused was discharged because of
lack of evidence.
The defendant was represented by
James Bowie. - IL
