The statement will be for tho quarter ending June SO last, nnd the figures now range from $76,000,000-to $80,000,000. Por tha first three months of this year the corporation earned I80.Jia.BJi net, while In the second quarter of 1916 the net earnings amounted to $27,960.0S5, so that the results for the three months Just closed will show enormous Increases In both Instances. Attention Is called to the fact that should the net earnings In the coming statement reach the high estimates they will be nearly double the revenues of the first' half of tho year 1915, when $40,407,864 was earned. From time to time recently there has been talk of an Increase In the dividend on the common stock, or perhaps an extra divi dend, recompensing stockholders who did not receive anything when the dividend was passed. The earnings would seem to Indi cate that there Is n good chance of action of this sort when the directors meet next Tuesday.
