BETHLEHEM STEEL’S MARCH EARNINGS GAIN Grace Says Rights of Common Stockholders Will Be Recognized as Soon as Possible. By the Assoclated Press. - NEW YORK, April 23.—A marked fmprovement in earnings and opera- tions of the Rethlehem Steel Corpora- tion during the flrst quarter of the year, as compared with the preced- ing quarter and the corresponding period of last year, was reported to- day by President Eugene G. Grace. Total income of the corporation and its subsidiaries amounted to $11,- 973,0 equivalent after preferred dividends to $2.66 a share on the com- mon stock. These earnings contrast with $10,548,136 in the fourth quarter of 1925 and $10,399,316 in the first quarter of the same vear, when the return on the common stock was equal to $1.77 and $1.66, respective- ly. ‘The quarter's surplus totaled $4,177,065. Although Bethlehem has not yet reached a position where it is ad- visable to resume common dividends, Mr. Grace indicated that the rights of these stockholdeis, whose invest- ment in the company represents ap- proximately $300,000,000, would be recognized as soon as possible. “The value of orders on hand at the end of March,” Mr. Grace said, “was 59,390,376, as compared with $70.- 23 at the end of the previous quarter and $65,921,289 on March 31, 1925. ‘Operations averaged 8§7.2 per cent of capacity during the first quarter, ag compared with 77 per cent during the previous quarter and 77.7 per cent during the first quarter of 1925. “During the month of March Beth- lehem produced 610,775 tons of steel rots and castings, equal to 96.4 per i of operation 1 corporation.
