DIVIDEND
SEEN LIKELY

When directors of Simms Petro-
leum Company meet in July a
dividend on the company's 461 1893
outstanding shares of $40 par cap.
ital stock will, in all probability,
be declared. On February / this
year the company paid a Is cent
dividend. This was the first divi.
dend since January, 1893, when
the company made a similar dis
tribution.
Simms has slightly in excess Of
100000 in cash, after paying,
under protest, income tax claims
amounting to roundly $425, 900.
Cash at the close of 1888
amounted to $655,S64. Current
position of the company has inn
proved since the end of the year,
ratio Of current assets to current
liabilities being approximately
1856 to l, as compared with 2.83
to / at the end of 1888.
Simms Petroleun1's earnings in
the first four months this year
have been better than in the like
period Of last year, and while it is
early to attempt to estimate &C.
curately results for the half year,
indications point to a net Of
around $4,000, or, roughly, 80
cents a share. This would COM
pare with net loss of $500, 296 in
the like period of 1888 and would
be the best first half since 1929,
when net profit after all charges
amounted to $417,747, equal to SO
cents a share on 83S,962 shares Of
capital stock then outstanding.
The company has conducted an
intensive drilling campaign since
the first of the year and has COM
pleted 18 producing wells, IL Of
which were on proven acreage in
East Texas and the remainder in
north and west Texas. In the lat
ter group is included a we'll with a
potential of 900 barrels daily on
an 80-acre block in GlaSscock
County. The company owns 24O
additional acres in the immediate
vicinity of the new producer and
is planning to drill additional
wells in that area.

CODE PERMIT
WAGE CUTS

An Interpretation Of the stock
exchange code whereby reduc-
lions in wages could be effectu-
ated under Article 2 (E) has
been made by MIRA. The article
provides:
"The wages Of employees being
paid ON September /, 1888, in
excess Of the established mini.
mum shall not be decreased
Notwithstanding that the hours
worked in such employment
may be hereby reduced"
In a letter to the code au-
thority, NRA held that q reduc-
ton in wages Of nonexempted
employees under the code is thus
prohibited only where hours are
reduced and that exchange firms
may reduce wages If "other justi-
fable causes exist for such &C
ton"
However, NRA officials pointed
out that in no event can wages
be reduced below the minimum
Of from $12 to SIG weekly as
provided in the code.

WHEN TRADING
IN STOCK ENDS
IighI Low IClose

The Federal Trade Commission
has advised the Curb Exchange
in New York city that trading in
securities on a when issued"
basis is illegal unless a registra-
ton statement has been filed for
the securities. The commission
said:
Trading in securities on a
when, as and If issued basis (if
they are securities that should
be registered under the securf'
ties act Of 1889, when no reg
iStratiOn statement necessary
to be filed under that act is in
effect, is q violation Of the
act"
The commission said this was
not to be taken as a formal
opinion or Interpretation by the
securities division Of the trade
commission, and that it was ex
pressed to the Curb Exchange by
telephone on it's request. Similar
advice has been given to the
New York Produce Exchange.
The opinion applies to when
issued" sales in all exchanges
It was based on the belief that
such sales are actually sales OF
securities even though no actual
stock certificate has been issued
The Securities Act provides
that any securities sold the pub
lie must be registered with the
trade commission so that certain
information about them Is avail
able to the public.
When there is no such infor
nation available, the public can
not obtain the facts as provided
under the act and the sale is q
violation, it was said.
The when issued" transaction
is customarily used on exchanges
to provide a market for a secur'
ity prior to its actual issuance.
This is supposed to enable the
issuers of the security to know
the price which they may expect
and act accordingly.
The transaction has been crlti.
cized by some as a purely Specu'
lative operation with no relation
to the actual value Of the &C.

While still continuing upward,
q number Of factors have devel-

which is now threatening the basic

Other unsettling influences

A bright SIDE was tound IN the
rise in temperatures in its
stimulus to retail trade, with de-
mand broadening out under rising
consumer demand. Wholesale
lines also continued the moderate
upswing in activity which devel-
oped last week.
Emphasis was placed on the fact
that business still was ahead Of a
year ago and the huge funds
awaiting employment "as soon as
the period Of obtrusive regulation
will have spent it's force"
Prospects for substantial trade
rise in the fall we're considered
bright, and the current ler-down
was considered only temporary,
the need of replacement and obso-
lescence having piled up huge de-
ferred demands.
Business reports from the
drought-stricken regions told Of
more curtailment, and in some re-
gions trade was almost at stand
still. encouragement was found
in the high level being maintained
by industrial operations.
