Adding the interest, the amount of this proposed assessment was ap¬ proximately $100,000. This claim has now been settled for $54,450 including interest. In view of this settlement, it is estimated that the final liquidating payment on the stock of Midwest Vessel Corp. will probably be between $30 and $33 per share. There are still several matters to be taken care of before final payment can be made and the exact amount cannot be determined at this time, but the final payment should be approximately as indicated. ; Your officers and directors are hopeful that all matters can be dis¬ posed of and the final payment made before the close of this year, and will use their best efforts to that end.

In the elaborate detailed statement, however, which we present further below, we are able to give the final and complete results for the week previous—the week ended July 22. For that week there was an increase of >32.5%, the aggregate of clear¬ ings for the whole country having amounted to $10,706,589,712, against $8,080,210,013 in the same week in 1943. Outside of this city there was a gain of 23.4%, the bank clearings at this center having recorded an increase of 42.4%. We group the cities according to the Federal Reserve Districts in which they are located and from this it appears that in the New York District (including this city) the totals show an expansion of 41.6%, in the Boston Reserve District of 8.0% and in the Philadelphia Reserve District of 4.2%. The Cleveland Reserve District enjoys a gain of 7.7%, the Richmond Reserve District of 12.4% and the Atlanta Reserve District of 18.4%. In the Chicago Reserve District the totals are larger by 11.7%, in the St. Louis Re¬ serve District by 24.1%, and in the Minneapolis Reserve District by 10.7%. In the Kansas City Reserve District the increase is 3.3%, in the Dallas Reserve District 2.3% and in the San Francisco Reserve District 10.1%.

Trippe, President, held on July 20. Mr. Trippe said the decrease in 1943 earnings, to about $1,900,000 from $3,700,000 in 1942, resulted largely from these wartime services. He said that while passenger revenues would increase in 1944 over 1943, the corporation was going to continue its policy of helping the war effort at nominal cost as long as the war continued. He held out only a moderate hope of an important increase in earnings for this •year. ;r- : ;'v '■■ Mr. Trippe said that all North Atlantic operations at the start of 1943 were transferred to Navy jurisdiction, and no fare receipts or mail pay was recorded from this division, one of the reasons for the earnings decrease. Another was a reduction in the rate of mail pay for the Latin American division. Mr. Trippe said that the Latin American mail pay question had been under review by the Civil Aeronautics Board and that a decision was handed down July 19, but that Pan American had not yet had time to calculate the effect on future mail revenues. Mail revenues in 1943, he stated, declined about $5,250,000, to about $6,800,000. The Latin American division mail service was on a self-sustaining basis at the 1943 rate, Mr. 94,168,241' pound per clined $60,000,000 in New York • were 9,146,118 2,661,204 In 1943 the following dividends were paid: ' Jan.
