The enoriiou sums bi h tiie bip industrial companies of th country will pay to the jovernnieiii in the form of exress profits and income taxes wa strikingly ill u.t rat.-d Tuesday when the l"nite(i States Steel corj-oration issued its tinan. ial statement for the M-eond quarter f the year. Total earninifs for that period were reduced to S,to,;,79,:o 1, after deducting .$5;;.MlS,s,7 about .17 per cent, as the amount which it is estimated will be turned oyer to the Ko ernraent. An additional allowance of .:;:;,- so".o()u was sk aside from earnings of the first quarter of the year for war taxes and excess profits, that amount bein- based on the tax proposed early in June, but not yet finally adopted. Total !iiriiins SI If, l!S,07fi. I'.ut for the hu.ee tax to be imposed by the povernment. total earnings of the steel corporation for the second quarter would have amounted to M 4 1 . 4 ! K . i T '. . exceeding the previous high record of the preceding quarter by more than $:n. ooo. otto.

Monthly earnings of the corporation for the second quarter show a steady decline compared with those of the first three months. June, for instance, amounted to only $32.027.300 as against ?44. 377. 399 in March. This apparent reversal is accounted for however by the attitude r.dopted by the corporation, which rejected much new business to meet possible demands of the home government. Propaiv Ir War Work. The extent t. which the corporation is preparing for all eventualities is disclosed in the statement that during the first six months of the current year $4 3.000,000 was expended for new construction and additions to its many subsidiaries. 'm the l.asis of the taxes already set aside, the steel corporation expects to turn over to the povernment during the present year approximately $200.o."oft00. This exceeds total earnings of almost any year prior to i;lfi. but leaves a balance, at the present rate, of almost ."0 per cent applicable to the common stork. The usual dividends of 1 34 per cent on preferred stock and 1 1-4 per cent on amnion wa" declared, with an "extra" three per rent on the common, as in th previous quarter.
