The Hank of Knglaml minimum rate
of discount remains unchanged at 0 per

It is apparent from reports of manu
facturing companies in all sections of
the country, save where coal shortage
lins forced curtailment, (hat there is
no let-up in industrial earnings. The
margin of profit has not suffered, and
na production increases aggregate pro'fits
expand extraordinarily.
The steel people sny their reports for
the, last quarter will, of course, show
small earnings because of the steel and
coal Rtrikcs. But they consider this
loss of earnings a splendid investment
because so many lnbor problems will bo
settled permanently by these strikes. '
Kcports that Endicott-.Iohnoon di
lectors would declare o stock dividend,
in addition to. an increase in the cash
disbursement, did not materialize nt
yesterday's meeting. No stock dividend
was authorized, but the board, besides
declaring the usual quarterly dividend
of $1.25 n shnrc, voted an extra dis
tribution of S2 a share on the common,
which brought the total dividends for
1010 up to .$." n shnrc, or 10 per cent
on the .$14, 000,000 common stock, whose
shares hnvc a par value of ,i0 ench.
Tlcports that railroad securities held

FOREIGN EXCHANGE
New York, Doc. 4. The foreign ex
chango market opened with sterling nnd
francs slightly Improved. Italian ex
change was confused, reports varying
fully 5 points according to the different
operators.
The rally in sterling, according to
prominent international bankers, will
be short-lived. It is partially flue" to
the fact that tht market, for tho time
being, has become technically oversold.
The embargo upon coal for foreign
ships is also n bullish influence on ex
change. Quotations were:
