ST. PAI'Ls DIVIDENDS AND THE CROP OUT
LOOK

The directors OF the Chicago Milwaukee and ST.
Paul Railway yesterday declared the usual SEMI
annual dividends of 3s per cent on the preferred
and per cent the common stock. This sets at
rest one Of the doubts of Wall Street felt re-
spccting the maintenance of dividends on the
Granger railroads. The ST. Paul in the last fiscal
year earned n small surplus over its dividends.
The meeting OF the Chicago. Rock Island and
Pacific directors on the dividend question Will not
be- held for a couple OF weeks The lateness OF
the meeting Is said to be the result or a desire
on the part OF the management TO have In hand
s close results OF the quarters operations as pos
sible before deciding whether or not TO MAINTAIN
the present rate.

the line of the 81. Paul road prepared by Ros-
