York, Aug 30 --United Rubber in the first six months of this year earned $10,242,365, against $7,239,966 last-year. This is at an annual rate of improvement lof. over $6,000,060 against $5,000, {000 in last year's extraordinary re- i port. Gross sales, maintained at the {volume of the first six months, would {mean for the full year close to $220,- {000,000 against $176.000,000 for 11917. But the final figures are like- {ly to run closer to $210,000,000, since January to June is always Rub- iber's big half year. Curtailment of tire production and further transi- tion to a war basis will also figure to some extent. After $2,500,000 for préferred dividends for the half year, there is a balance for common of approxi- mately $7,700,000, or well over $21 a share. Rubber common is earning at the 'rate of nearly $43 per share, which means atthe rate of 70 pér cent.' on its market price. New | States ir if An Extra Steel Bonus. Conviction is expressed by the Montreal Financial Times that an ex- tra disbursement on the shares of the Steel Company of Canada is more imminent than is generally supposed, In all probability the directors will shortly declare a cash bonus of 2 per cent. on the common stock and 1 per cent. on the preferred. This would bring the year's disbursement up to 8 per cent. on both stocks. The company has somewhat in ex- cess of $5,000,000 cash on hand and in Government bonds, and it may be interesting to point out that the net assets, after deducting bonds and round sum of $500 a share of the preferred stock.
