Before the outbreak of war in Bu- rope the American Coal Products Company was practically unheard of | in Wall Street. Probably not more | than one person in ten could give the; Stock Exchange ticker abbreviation | for it. Now every one is talking bout | \t, for the stock has been one of the prominent leaders in the upswing of; war specialtics. The stock has been made @ specula- tive football. Last January if sold at 82. On July 12 tt sold at 170%. Stories | of tremendous profits on business placed by foreign governments w | widely circulated. Public buying be- came very pronounced. Then in a week's time, or by July 20, the stook slumped back to 126%. Now the up- ward movement is again in full swing. Yesterday the stock aold at 154%, an advance of 9% points for the day, and an advance of nearly 80 points within the last mouth. Only @ very small part of the specu- lative public ever beard of American Coal Products before the upward movement started. It bad always been regarded as a “dead one,” even to those people who were familiar in « sense with the company’s operations, Comparatively few people now under- stand the nature of the company’s business, aud bow it is benefiting by' the European war, follows: The American Coal Products Com- pany was incorporated under a New Jersey charter, which 1s perpetual, in 1908. “Lt is largely @ holding company— is, it conaucts its operations largely through subsidiary cuuceras, isusiness of tue company &au sub- sidlaries is the manufacture and sale of coal tar products, such as tar, am- The facts are as ils, carbollc acid, own about fifty plants throughout the country and Canada.

The preferred stock was created in 1912, and has since that time received the full rate of dividends to which it Is entitled.

There are excellent reasons for not bellevi however, that stockholders wil receive an increase in the common dividend in the near future or that an extra cash dividend will be deciared. The management feel that stock- holders should beneft by the com- pany’s large earnings, but instead of declaring an increased dividend or an extra cash dividend a stock dividend probably approximating § per cent. will be declared at the Close of this year. Persone who are purchasing the stock with the expectation of re- celving a fat extra cash dividend will be disappointed if present intentions of the management are adhered to. ———_— INTIMIDATION IS CHARGED. the long or n- | Head of Collection Agency te He! for Trial, Edmon BM.

New York, or 10.66 in 1912. The company enjoys a good work- ing position, The excess of current assets, including inventories, at the close of 1914 amounted to $4,200,000, Cince the war, and varticularly dur- ing the past few months, there has been a large demand for benzo! and its derivatives, such as toluol and phenol, by the manufacturers of gun-| Turner's powder. The American Coal Prod-| Turner, bs Company is a large producer of lg: theae. Then the company owns one-third Interest in the Benzol Products Com- pany, the other two-thirds being own respectively by the General Chemical Company_and the Semet- Solvay Company. The Benzo) Com- pany has just finished a large modern Plant at Marcus Hook, Pa., for the manufacture of analine oll and salt, which are used in the domestic dye- stuff industry, and which up to last year had been imported into this country from Germany. There is very large demand for these products at pi osent. The income from this investment hae not as yet been shown in stat mente of the American Coal Produc! Company, and of course will not show until the company Is in receipt of dividends on the stock of the Benzol Company, which it owns. It has been said that in the 1914 fiscal year the company earned $10.30 per share of common stock. In the first six months of this year the divi. dend balance showed an increase of $407,000, which ts at the rate of an additional 7% per cent. per annum on the common stock. The first six months of the year, however, are not the most profitable for the company, and the increase in earnings in the current #ix months will be propor- tionately larger than the Increase for the six months ended December 30.
