Since issuance of the 20,000 shares of 4 72%
preferred stock, the initial series of preferred
shares, and as of Nov. 21, 1941, 7,078 shares have been surrendered and
converted into 14.843 common shares (no par).
The articles of amend¬
ment provide
that shares of 4 72% cumulative convertible preferred
stock purchased, redeemed or surrendered for conversion shall not be
reissued.
On Nov. 26, 1941, the company filed a statement with the
Secretary of State of Illinois setting forth a resolution of the board
of directors establishing such remaining 30,000 preferred shares as a
series designated as "4% cumulative preferred stock" and fixing the
dividend rate, &c.
No shares of 4% cumulative pref. stock are now
outstanding.
Company intends to call all its outstanding shares of
472% cum. convertible pref.. stock for redemption on a date not less
than 60 nor more than 65 days after the issuance of the 4%
cumu¬
lative preferred stock now offered and upon the redemption thereof
the only portion of the presently authorized preferred shares which
may be issued or outstanding will, be the 30,000 shares of 4%
cumu¬
lative preferred
stock.
127,136 common shares are reserved for the
conversion of shares of 4-Tj %. cumulative convertible preferred stock.

of full control of Pequanoc.
The consolidated company will be in a
much stronger position as regards both assets

The consolidation provides for new preferred and common stocks
to be exchanged for the existing stocks of the two constituent com?panies.
Directors believe the terms of exchange fair and equitable.
Directors therefore recommend the proposed consolidation as achieving
a
highly advantageous acquisition from the business standpoint and
also
affording a desirable opportunity for revision of the capital
structure of this company along lines which have long been under
consideration. OYY

months, thorough industrial reorgani¬
zation, and rigid control of business and of civilian con¬
sumption, together with greatly increased taxes.
Since
the program, which was to have been discussed next
month with Congress and the nation, is reported to have
assumed the necessity for equipping an American expe¬
ditionary force, it is expected that the survey will soon
be submitted to Congress in final form, with previously
calculated production estimates revised to set goals of
speedy maximum output in all defense categories.
The Pacific area is normally the source of vital war
materials, chiefly tin, rubber, manganese, chromite, and
tungsten.
According to the Office of Production Man¬
agement the United States consumes 100,000 tons of tin
and 600,000 tons of rubber a year.: Additional tin can
be obtained from Bolivia, and rubber supplies can be
supplemented by the use of reclaimed and synthetic
rubber. Manganese, is obtainable from Brazil, Cuba and
South Africa, as well as from low grade, domestic" ore.
For tungsten a plentiful domestic supply of molybdenum
may be substituted in many cases. On Wednesday Secre--'

the aggregate

of clearings for the whole country having
amounted to $7,799,029,054 against $6,430,643,175 in the
s^me week of 1940.
Outside of this city there was an
increase of 27.9%, the bank clearings at this center
having recorded an increase of 15.0%.
We group the
cities according to the Federal Reserve districts in which
they are located and from this it appears that the New
York Reserve District (including this city), recorded
an improvement of 15.4%, the smallest of any District,
The greatest gain, 37.6%, was recorded by the Dallas
District.
Next in order were Minneapolis with a gain
cf 34.6% and San Francisco with 31.3%.
Gains in the
next six districts were within
