VIRGINIA DEATH
TOLL IN FLOOD
EIGHT LIVES
Property Damage Put
At ST 100000 as
Rivers Recede

CHMOND, Va, April %.
Virginia storm reports today
placed her dead at eight and
property damage at more than
81 100000 as rivers and streams
throughout the State were steadily
receding after flood that in
some places passed the high-water
mark of March, 1886.
Deaths reported to date include
four young Culpeper residents,
said to have plunged into the rag
ing Robinson River near Orange;
a Richmond newspaper route car
rier: a tax collector of Appomattox
county: Shenandoah county
farmer; an Amelia county Negro,
and a motorist who is believed to
have plunged from flooded road
way in PoWhatan county and
drowned.
Property damage, while re-
ported from virtually every Sec
ton of the State, was heaviest at
Fredericksburg and ColoRia l
Beach. Historic Fredericksburg,
which ordinarily escapes from
flood ravages of the Rappahan-
mock River, yesterday placed its
loss at more than $500,000 and
was working overtime to relieve
the suffering and rescue those
made homeless by the high
waters.
Falmouth Bridge Open
Reports that the water supply
in Fredericksburg had been
threatened were denied by City
Manager L. j. Houston, jr., who
declared that the plant was oper-
ating as usual.
Hundreds were still homeless
in the city, however, and scores
of others were returning to their
homes today as the water which
flooded their homes yesterday
and Monday began to fall.
Falmouth bridge, the main con-
Meeting link between FrederickS-
burg and the Northern Neck, was
open to traffic yesterday after
noon after being closed two days
and permitted traffic to resume
its course on Route No. to Wash
ington.
Three of the five spans in this
bridge were washed away during
the height of the flood Monday
night and will necesSitate the re-
placement of the span at a cost
of 100000. Another bridge at
Fredericksburg, connecting the
highway with the island home of
w. Jet Lauck, washington econo-
mist and adviser to John L. Lewis,
also was washed away and will
have to be replaced at cost of
100000.
Rivanna Subsiding
Colonial Beach, popular summer
resort, was today recovering from
the effects of the flood waters
which threw the small village into
darkness earlier In the week when
the high waters wrecked the cleo
trio system. No accurate estimate
could be given today of it's prop
erty damage.
Conditions at Charlottesville also
eased today as the Rivanna River
began to SubSide. Rising Monday
to a flood stage of 80 feet, the
stream temporarily paralyzed

! BOYS SAVED,
FEAR FATHER
DROWNED
Nd. Youths Rescued
After Hanging to
Tree Tops

ROCKVILLE, Nd, April 20.
One death from the Potomac
flood in this area apparently was
confirmed today when the Rock
vile Rescue Squad brought two
youths to shore near Whites
Ferry after they had chung all
night to the top of a tree, with
the muddy flood waters swirling
around them.
They told story Of an upset
motor boat in which they were
bringing the father of one Of the
youths to the mainland from
MaSon'S Island, above Whites
Ferry. When the boat upset, they
said. the father disappeared in
the stream. They assumed he was
drowned, although residents of
Whites Ferry reported hearing a
voice today crying for help from
the direction of the river.
Enos Jenkins, farmer, about SIS,
living on Mason's Island, was the
farmer. When the river reached
the danger point on the island,
Richard jenkins, 10, his son, rowed
to the Virginia shore early yester-
day for help. Thereafter, with
Ronald Athey, %, of Lucketts, Va,
he returned in a motorboat and
took the father off.
AS they were returning to the
mainland about 7 o'clock last
night, the propeller became dis.
abled and the boat started to drift.
Subsequently, the youths said, it
overturned, throwing them all into
the stream.

at the foot of Seventh Street was
instituted by the Capital Transit
Company today after the high
water in the back channel of the
Potomac flooded underground con.
duits in the Southwest Washington

Cars in the barns were moved to
Seventh Street. This morning
buses were put into service on
Seventh Street as substitute for
the street cars. Passengers were
transferred to street car lines at

FABR|CATORSLACK'
STOCKS Of METAL
Must Enter Market Soon for
at Least Enough to
Balance Outqo.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Me.al stocks
OF fabricators have been drawn down
this fall to an extent which will re-
quire their entering the market soon
FOR at least enough tonnage to balance
outgoing shipments, according to a
survey OF the metal fabricating indus
try just completed by the Standard
Statistics Co.
Rejecting the sharp contraction In
activity in the automobile and con-
struction industries, operations of
metal fabricators have been at pro-
gressively declining rates over the past
few months. No monthly statistics on
the output of the copper and brass
mills and the wire and cable plants
are published, but the reduced rate Of
fabricating activity is reflected in the
sharp contraction in sales of copper
and of high-grade zinc by the pro-
ducers of those metals.
Copper Deliveries Drop.
Deliveries of copper by producers to
domestic fabricators in November had
dropped to only $4,000 tons, which
compared with $1,000 tons in Septem-
Der and an average of about 10000
tons through the spring months. De-
liveries of high-grade zinc "a large
proportion of which is used in the
brass plants amounted to 1887 tons
in November, against 16,800 tons in
September and 30,880 tons in May.
The decline in output of the mills,
however. has not been so sharp as
the cut in their purchases Of raw ma
terials. 1t is estimated that products
shipped out by the fabricators during
November contained from $4,000 to
$4,000 tons of copper. In other words,
fabricators drew on inventories and
metal in process to the extent of TO-
900 to $4,000 tons during the month.
Minimum Near Absolute.
Because the working stocks Of raw
material required to turn out $4,000
tons Of finished products monthly are
only about half as great as the work.
ing stocks required to turn out 100000
tons monthly, fabricators have been
able to fill orders without substantial
new purchases for three months. New
ertheless there are indications that
working stocks are being cut to an
irreducible minimum in some plants
and that fabricators will be forced
early in 1888 to buy at least enough
metal to cover current requirements.
Thus, as against only 21,oa5 tons
of copper bought in the entire month
of November, fabricators ordered a.
49l tons in the first IA days OF De-
cember. Most of the metal was speci-
fed for December or January deliv-
cry, indicating that the buyers needed
metal for current orders. Metal prices
have fallen sharply to current levels
of 1925 cents for copper, against a
peak of II cents for the year, and S
cents for zinc. against a peak of rs
cents for the year. The larger copper
producers are maintaining a price Of
II cents pound for copper, however.
and the leading fabricators are basing
their prices on this quotation.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-New busi-
ness booked during November by the
structural steel fabricating industry
was the largest since last July, the
American Institute of Steel Construc-
ton reported today.
Both bookings and shipments, how
ever. were slightly below the average
for the year. Bookings were 584 per
cent Of normal (the yearly average
192S-31 inclusive), and shipments SIS
per cent of normal as against a
monthly average of 50 per cent and go
per cent. respectively, for the year.

tons and for the 11-month period
1.517,s23 tons, compared with 1896
figures Of 12l,607 and 1,442,474 tons
respectively. November shipments
totaled 1856 tons, compared with
l34,1l5 last year. while shipments for
the first II months stood at 1,543.95s
tons against 1,426,43O in the 1896

DIVIDENDS FAIL
TO BOOST STOCKS
Profit Reports Not Playing
Normal Role Either at
Years Close.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.
Z ecial Dispatch to The Star.


orecial Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Dec 23.--Only in ex-
ceptional cases do either dividends
or earnings play their normal part
In influencing prices In the present
market.
Taking the matter OF dividends first,
the main reason for this unusual sit
uation is, Of course. the tax on un-
distributed profits. In the old days,
when the directors declared an extra
dividend 1t was taken as an expres-
sion OF confidence in the business
future. The Interpretation was that
the. outlook for that particular cor
poration. as well as for the industry
represented, was bright enough to
justify the show Of generosity. Some
times, as happened in 1929 and early
1880, extras we're declared for the
direct purpose of inspiring faith on
the part of the shareholders.
The assumption now is that larger
payments at the year end are simply
q means Of avoiding the tax. 1t is
regarded not as An expression OF
sound business judgment, but as a
concession to the law. and so does
not become bull point on the stock
concerned.
Try Interim Plan.
This Hood of extra dividends will
abate after the turn of the year.
Distributions to stockholders will then
make an unfavorable showing, COM
pared with those now being made.
Some corporations, and the number
Is increasing, are adopting the British
plan OF interim dividends, with a final
declaration in the last quarter of the
year. The idea is to wait until full
years profits can be estimated before
deciding how much can be paid out
to shareholders on an annual basis.
Although it breaks into the regu-
larity Of investment income for hold
ers of equities, there is a good deal
to be said in favor of this plan. On
the other hand, it eliminates the divi-
dend rate as q factor in the stock
market, or to a great extent at least.
The earnings situation is a little
different in the case of industrial
companies from that in rails or utili-
ties. Industrials report only quar-
terly at the best. and sometimes only
annually, SO that the reports coming
to hand at present. as a rule, cover
periods when operations were being
conducted at a profit.
In view of what has happened to
business since the late summer and
early fall. no such good results can
be expected in quarterly statements
yet to come. Nor is the outlook for
the new year SO bright, for business
revival will be slow in getting under
way. and meanwhile the tax burden
will not grow any lighter.
The market. therefore, is trying to
strike a balance between the highly
favorable results of the first three
quarters and the anticipated adversi-
ties of the last quarter of 1887 and
the early month of 1898. 1t makes
reliance on the earnings yardstick
as a test of stock prices misleading

Fire Insurance
Volumes to Show
Moderate Gains
p the Associated Press

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-Despite
somewhat lower rates, fire insurance
companies generally are expected to
report moderate gains in premium vol
tunes for 1887, survey by Standard
Statistics Co., made public today, said
Automobile insurance has accounted
for much of the gains. although other
lines have also improved. Fire losses
were per cent lower for the first 10
months, resulting in higher net. un-
derwriting profits.
The survey expresses the opinion
that with unfavorable business condi-
tions in prospect for the first half of
1888 losses may well increase and
volume of premiums decline.
