Boston, July 15.-Considerable inquiry is
being made regarding electrical securities OF
all kinds, and as the time draws near for the
next semi-annual dividend to be paid BY the
American Electric and Illuminating Company

that company. Careful inquiry to-day from
sources considered reliable develops the fact
that the directors will declare the regular four
per cent. semi-annual on the preferred stock
due September LIST, and a two per cent. extra
semi-annual on the preferred and common,
thus keeping up the same dividends as hereto
fore paid of twelve on the preferred and four
on the common, which makes the stock of this
company one of the most desirable investment
stocks on the market.
