COMPANIES DURING AUGUST
PAID OVER $34,000,000 COM
PARED TO YEAR AGO
WASHINGTON. Sept., 23, <7P)—
Dividends from the mines contin
ue to grow. The sums distributed
during August by American mining
and metal companies that make
public their disbursements reached
the substantial total of $34,060,240
which compares with $19,866,629 for
the same month last year. Many
small companies; syndicates and
leases are not included in this total.
The generally satisfactory condi
tion of the industry, as reflected in
current returns on investments, is
to be credited chiefly to the higher
price level of major non-ferrous
metals, notably copper.

in August. Return to Anaconda
stockholders for the year ended
August 31, on an annual yield basis,
was 5.3 percent, against 4.9 percent

RIGHT MOMENT, SELL
NEW YORK, Sept., 23, (/P)-A re
cent board meeting of a large com
pany threw some light on the old
question of the extent directors of
corporations speculate in their j
own securities.
The first matter up for discus
sion was a proposal to reduce the
common stock dividend rate. The
directors voted to reduce it and ,
went on to other questions. Before ;
the meeting was adjourned a few j
minutes later all except two of the
directors, on pretext or another
had left the board room long
enough to use the telephone.
