business transacted cither today or for many days pant has been on tho
selling side.
United Stntes Industrial Alcohol continued Its upward movement, mnUintr
a Rrtli. of nearly seven points, selling at the new high record of 1S2'4. The
sudden demonstration In Industrial Alcohol attracted Increased attention today
to stories of tho huge earnings of the corporation, nnd dividend possibilities
were again brought up. One report was that Initial dividends wilt soon bo
declared nt tho rate of 1(5 per cent, per annum, nnd It was Insisted thnt tho
movement In Industrial Alcohol will bo followed by lgorous busing of DIs
tillers Securities.
Another story on industrial Alcohol which went the rounds was to tho i llutte a. Superior
effect that n dividend nf tin In rnsli will Iip tmld In the. first half of the venr lal Petroleum
nnd another of $10 In cash In the second half. In tho calendar jear 191S tho
profits were equivalent to between 1G nnd 20 per cent, on the $12,000,000 out
standing common stock, cnmp.ired with 2 per cent. In 1914.
Heay selling of United States Steel common caused pronounced nnset
tlemcnt In the speculative situation In tho afternoon. Three houses sold
20,000 shares of the stock, forcing tho price below SK. nnd following this sell
ing stocks were offered at concessions all around the room. Thcro was a
lack of demand from any source, the efforts to advance specialties being sud
denly checked.
Texas Company was the most prominent feature, first advancing 6'S points
to 229 on the announcement of tho offer of 20 per cent, of new stock nt par
tb present holders, but suddenly broko to 212, with a sharp rally after that
decline.

Tnlk of S40 Cnsh Dividend on Bethlehem Steel
Tt)c dividend prospects of llethlehem Stool were discussed in well-informed
circles today. It was said that a dividend of $40 In cash would soon ho
declared, and offers were made to wager even money thnt such n dividend
will be declared. Some of tho outsid" holders of Hcthlehem Steel, who believe
tlicy have means of obtaining accurate Information, snld that the earnings
of the company for the current month will he Sri,000.000 nnd thnt It will show
an Increase over this rate within tho nc.t few months making the compnn's
revenue apparently equal to 400 per cent, per annum on the common stock.
Action on Steel Common Dividend n Mystery
No deflnito Itnet. on United States Steel common dividend pollcj can as jot
bo obtained, but na the statement for the qunrter ending December 31. which

mon stock In the full car. It Is held by many thnt a resumption of divi
dends by tho directors at the meeting next Tuesday cannot bo avoided. In
fact, thcro aro many who believe that even mure than a quarterly dividend
of 1V4 per cent, should be distributed nc::t Tuesday.

A reaction In United tins Improvement
was about the only feature of the Phila
delphia market todaj. Tho offcrlnRS of
stock were not large, but theio appeared
to he n Intk of supiiort, and those who
had predicted Hint theio would be no
melon-cutting thin spring helped along
the decline.
Tho general local list vvns Irregular, with
some New York buying of Cambria Steel.
Of late, most of the news, or rather ru
mors, regarding this stock havo originated
In thnt city.
It was stated today that the company
has completely booked up for 19K, nnd
that tho high prices now prevailing would
mnko this year a record-breaker In regard
to net cnrnlngs.
Tor some weeks the embargo on etpo-t
freight by the Eastern rnilroads hM
caused considerable discussion and In
somo cases nnxloty lo the steel manufac
turers Now, however, lending steel au
thorities assert that embargo conditions
have been eased somowhat by the rail
roads, nnd freight on which shipping
Fpaco has been secured on steamships Is
being allowed to come through when the
bonts nre ready to load Whllo such a
situation Is not Just what Is desired by
ntcelmnkeis, the fact that conditions
show a tendency of relaxation on tho ban
by tho rnilroads Is causing considerable
cncouraBcmcnt In the steel trade.
In (he later dealings on Chnngc Cam
bria Steel eased off, and tho whole local
list was inther depicsscd, with tho ex
ception of .1. O Hrlll which moved up
moro thnn a point. A feature of tho bond
ti ailing was Hie sale of a block of $100,
000 New York, Chicago and St. Louis 4s.
The Philadelphia nnd Western gross
earnings for December wcro $40,037, a
gain of 23 per cent over tho correspond
ing month In 1914. Tho cnrnlngs showed
an Incicnse of $2301. Tor the 12 months
the gloss gain was $80,424 nnd tho net
incrense $02 114, leaving n balance for the
vear of $91,314, which vvns on Increase of
$(14,274 over 1014.
