Year in Its History
New York, Jan. 31. The United!
States Steel Corporation crowned with |
grandeur the greatest year in its his- ;
tory yesterday i>y reporting net earn-1
ings of $105,968,347 in the final quar-;
ter of 1916 and a balance for com-1
mon stock dividends in this quarter
alone which amounted to $16.62 for!
each of the 508,302 shares. The full
year's income, before accounting for
sinking fund and depreciation re- j
quirements, was $333,625,086, an in-;
crease of $203,273,790 over the pre
ceding twelve months.
In *order to make a profit so tre
mendous as this the corporation must
have done a gross business in excess
of $1,250,000,000, a total hundreds of
millions greater than any other year
produced. This result is estimated
on the proportion of gross income to
