RISE
IN CANADA

Dividend payments in June by
Canadian corporations to their
stockholders established a new
high record for this month, and
the total of over $41,000,000 was
the second highest on record in the
Dominion, being exceeded only b7
December, 1890, when the total
was above $5O,OOO,OoO.
Total disbursements for June,
1884. are estimated by Bongard g.
Co., members of the Toronto
Stock Exchange, at $41,298,349,
contrasted with SIT, ,993,417 in June
1888, and $20,891,877 in June,
1882. The cumulative total OF
dividend payments for the first
six months reached $97 7,234.210, a
large increase from the $70,744,-
038 paid in similar months of the
preceding year, and $87, ,446,352
in the corresponding months of
1882.
Improvement in general con-
ditions has enabled many COM
panies to resume payments of
dividends, others to increase the
rate. The inceased price for gold.
and the announced policy of the
leading mining companies of the
Dominion to distribute practically
all their earnings to the stock
holder has resulted in a sub
Stantial increase in dividends, the
total for mining companies for the
month being in excess of $780,
600, and in the first six months
the total of $15,978,00O was 70 per
cent above a year ago.
An important factor in the heavy
dividend payments at this time is
the policy of the Imperial Oil, Ltd,
and subsidiary. international petro-
leum, of paying semi-annually as
against quarterly previously and
bonuses in addition ito regular
dividend by these two companies.
Total payments by the two was
above $25, 5,000,000.

ZINC PRICES UP
ASM|NES SHUT

With a price advance Of 81 a
ton, production Of zinc concen-
trates for the week ended June q
was 1916 tons, compared with
7,746 tons last week.
The price now prevailing is $2S
q ton, or within 81 a ton Of the
goal set by operators when they
all signed a shutdown agreement
last week. This shutdown went
into effect Friday night and Sat-
urday not a mine in the district
was working.
Whether the operators will hold
together is questionable after a
few days. If they do hold to-
gether the shutdown is scheduled
to last 80 days, by which time
most Of the surplus ore in the
district will have been sold.
Shipments this week amounted
to 5000 tons compared with 6,363
tons last week. Purchases were
1850 tons, compared with 3,130
tons last week. Normal purchases
are around 1000 tons weekly, in
dicating that Smelters are not
going to take on Tri-State zinc
concentrates at advanced prices
unless they have to. There were
48 mills running just before the
cloSe-down.
Unsold zinc ore in bins now
stands at about 20,208 tons, or
8, 900 tons more than on January
d, 1894. One year ago unsold zinc
ore was 1878 tons. Shipments
for 1884 are about 100000 tons.
Demand for ore was greatest IN
first three months of 1884. al
though largest shipments were
made April 81 and May 26 when
more than 10000 tons went out
to smelters.

Mining shares were helped by
the 50-cent dividend declared by
Cerro de Pasco and the So extra

Smelling rose nearly two points.
The others were higher, with the
coppers displaying some activity.
Steel Shares Better
United States and Bethlehem
Steel gained more than a point
each. Others in the group were
improved.
Rails were irregular. Union
Pacific declined on few trans
actions while Atchison crossed so
for gain of more than a point.
New York Central was better.
Further recovery in rail bonds
aided the group.
Progress reported by Secretary
OF Interior Ickes in settling gaso.

country lifted the oils from their
rut. Standard Oil of New Jersey,

TRADING HOLDS
IN CLEVELAND

Business and industrial activity
in the Fourth Federal Reserve Dis
trict is continuing at compar-
lively high level despite the usual
seasonal declines in some sectors,
the Cleveland Federal Reserve
Banks monthly business review
declares. The review says:
Little change was apparent
in the total volume Of Fourth
District industrial activity and
general trade in May. Some
lines continued to show greater
than seasonal increases, but in
q few instances the upward
movement was due to abnormal
factors and did not represent
actual demand for goods"
Employment increased in May:
it was said. Seven hundred and
forty-five companies reporting to
the Ohio State University Bureau
of business research indicated
that the number of employees was
up 38.8 per cent in May from a
year ago and % per cent from
April.

Hog Prices Up
40 Per Cent

Hog prices increased more
than 40 per cent during June
according to a review of the live
stock and meat situation by the
Institute of American Meat
Packers.
The sharp increase in hog
values came about as q result of
an improved demand for pork
products and a substantial re-
duction in marketed hogs.
Prices of pork products at
wholesale increased from 8 per
cent to 20 per cent from the
low levels prevailing at the open
ing of the month. The demand
FIR cooked hams and other sum-
mer speciality items was unusual
ly good and the volume of all
pork products moving into con-
sumption was large. The export
trade was only fair.
Prices of dressed beef showed
some improvement and dressed
lamb declined. Cattle sold at
somewhat higher prices, but
prices Of sheep and lambs were
generally lower.

TIGHT BRITCHES' TO
OPEN NEXT TUESDAY
AT NEW YORK HOUSE

Critics on Baltimore newspapers
Yesterday in their review OF
"Tight Britches," the mountain
play written by Hubert Hayes and
John Traintor Foote, were unanl-
nous in their praise of the play,
which is running in the Maryland
city all this week preparatory to
opening in New York City Septem-
Der IL.
Tight Britches," which was pre-
sented first at the Plaza theater
in Asheville, will make its New
York debut at the Avon theater,
on 45th street west of Broadway,
"Unqualified hit" sincerely and
intelligently written" deeply
moving" and "rife with richness
and realism" were forms of de-
scription used by critics after
viewing the play for the first time
in Baltimore.
Norman Clark, reviewer for the
Baltimore News, said of the play:
"Let's say right here that Tight
Britches" is a satisfying evening
in the theater. 1t has been hon.
estly, sincerely and intelligently
written and is being projected in
the same way. 1t treats of phase
of American life with conviction
and color. When the final curtain
fell upon the drama by John Tain
tor Foote and Hubert Hayes, the
theater echoed with applause that
had the genuine ring of apprecia-
ton in it,"
flight Britches" will be in
Baltimore today and tomorrow,
with two matinees. The play was
written in Asheville last summer
by Mr.. Foote and Mr.. Hayes and
following several Asheville ap-
pearances was staged here when it
made a deep impression both as
regards its dramatic material and
its presentation.

No circus that tours the South
is more popular or more welcome
than the famous Robbins circus,
which after a lapse of a few years
has taken to the road once for
what is said to be a farewell tour
of its old territory.
1t is this season practically a
brand new outfit, with an entirely
new equipment of tents and an
all new program of feature acts.
The circus, following the example
set by all of the other shows with
the exception of the three owned
by the Ringing interests, has
taken to trucks as the up-to-date
method of transportation, and it
will arrive here on its own fleet
Of exactly 106 trucks, trailers
and living vans.
1t is presenting its program in
one of the largest tents ever used
by any circus-an immense spread
of canvas with three rings, steel
arena and seats for 5000. Thera
is also a sizable menagerie with
a liberal display of wild animals
-Tusko, the monster elephant,
ESau the giant camel and, as Is
usually the case at this time of
the year, a lot of baby animals
born on the road, including baby
lions and a little camel punk"
The program of the rejuvenat-
ed circus offers % feature acts,
among them the Weber family of
somersault equestrians; Buckley's
performing stations; Captain
Younge's jungle actors; Captain
Wallace, who enters the steel
arena with eight monster Jungle
bred lions; the Particles, teeter-
board acrobats; the Peasley's can
non ball jugglers, a European
novelty seen with the show for
the first time in America; the
Waters, experts on the wire; the
Joe Sanderlin troupe of aerial
lists, and a lot of funny clowns.
Bud Horne, the popular wes-
tern screen star will make per-
sonal appearances at each per-
formance with his favorite pic
ture horses and duplicate some of
the riding stunts that made him
famous.
The circus will exhibit here
next Thursday at popular prices,
and as the schools will be dis
missed at noon it will be a real
holiday for the kiddies.

UTILITY CHANGES
IN POLICY URGED
Roy W. Champion Sees Need of
Reciprocation With Public,
in Address.

Utilities should take the public into
their confidence through proper types
OF advertising, establish reasonable
rates. and practice reciprosity by buy
ing all the materials they can at home,
according to Roy w. Champion, one of
series Of speakers who discussed
problems Of public utilities at the
luncheon Of the Rotary Club at the
Willard Hotel yesterday.
Mr.. Champion and Marion x. Will
berdtng spoke for the public in answer
TO a question asked by George E.
Keneipp. chairman of the vocational
service committee: How can the large
public utility promote friendly and
cooperative attitude on the part Of
the public?"
John H. Hanna, president of the
Capital Transit Co. said that utilities
should promise nothing they cannot
perform, to promote courtesy between
employees and the public and to give
careful and effective attention to all
complaints.
Lloyd B. Wilson. president OF the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co.
declared that utility must have good
character. be honest, straightforward
and fair; adequate physical equipment
and carefully selected personnel.
Marcy L. Sperry, president Of the
Washington Gas Light Co. and
Harold A. Brooks of the Potomac
Electric Power Co, also spoke briefly
on the subject.

World War Began
Twenty Years Ago
(By United Press)

Twenty years ago today, the first
guns of the World war began to
thunder in Europe, usnerlng in four
terrible years during which cannon
never ceased to speak, day or night.
On July 80, 1914, Austrian artil-
lery began to shell Belgrade, capi-
tai of Serbia.
On the same day Germany warn
ed Russia against the mobilization
already under way there. The last
hopes of averting a general war
were dwindling rapidly.
