J Pierpont Payments On Steel Syndicate Profits
New York May 15 Checks aggregating 310000000 were sent by J P Morgan & Co for the second distribution of profits from the United States Steel Corporation. Syndicate cash advanced 25000000 was returned after the first six to seven months. The first dividend of 5 percent 31000000 was paid to underwriters who had agreed to place 20000000 on demand but were not called for more than 12 percent of that amount. The present payment raises the syndicate cash return to 10 percent on the original 200000000 underwriting. It is expected about 20000000 more will be distributed among syndicate members reaching 40 percent on the 320000000 underwritten and 160 percent on cash advanced.
