Jumps 1% Cents an Ounce
to 46%, Highest Since
. November, 1936.
BJ the Associates Press.
NEW YORK, April 5.—The price of
foreign-mined bar silver in New York
Jumped today 1% cents an ounce to
46% cents, the highest level since No
vember 10, 1936.
The new price, set by Handy & Har
man, brokers, followed a similar sharp
advance in London. Trade reports
ascribed it to buying in the Indian
bazaars and speculative purchasing in
the London market.
There was no immediate explanation
of the Indian demand as brokers here
said no shortage had been reported.
In the Montreal silver futures mar
ket prices were from .62 of a cent to
1.30 cents higher.

DIVIDEND TALKED
FOR U. S. STEEL
Resumption on Common in
“Not Very Distant Fu
ture” Hinted.
BT lh« Associated Press.
HOBOKEN, N. J., April 5 —Possi
bility of resumption of common divi
dends in the “not very distant future"
was foreshadowed in remarks by
Myron C. Taylor, chairman of United
States Steel, to stockholders at the
annual meeting today.
Taylor said it was his greatest de
sire that “we shall in some way in the
not very distant future be able to re
ward you stockholders in a way which
your patience justifies.”
In a talk to reporters following the
meeting. Taylor declined to amplify
his statement. The last dividend on
the common was 50 cents, paid in
March, 1932
Earlier the chairman had told
stockholders the corporation's opera
tions had advanced to 87 per cent of
capacity from a depression low of 18.3
per cent.
He said. “As to the future, of course.
I would not care to prophesy. I can
recall in the past, however, when a
rise from around 18 to 21 per cent
of capacity gave us great satisfaction."
“I recall mentioning at the annual
meeting in 1935 that consumption of
steel per capita in the United States
in 1932 was 252 pounds. At that time
I said there tvas no sound reason why
we should not again reach a total
of from 800 to 900 pounds per capita.
Last year production was 810 pounds
per capita and at present the rate is
960 pounds per capita."
Taylor reviewed progress of the cor
poration during the past nine years.
He cited reduction of funded debt, the
absorption of younger blood into the
management and efforts to readjust
production and distribution most eco
nomically.
After a discussion of wage, tax and
profit problems, he said, “in conclusion J
the best single formula I could evolve I
in the several relationships between
workers, owner and the public is that
which will induce the largest produc
tion at prices within the range of the
purchasing powder of the community
and at the same time provide adequate
real wages to workers, management
and owners of the property."
Directors were re-elected.
