around which the stock touched t44> an ad-
vance offs, from yesterdays closing. AT
about this time dispatces were received

/ houses with Boston connections that the
[ dividend Of IA had been declared.
This report was quickly proven
/ false and was evidently the
result Of a conspiracy on the part or some
one in Boston with a view OF working the
market. The fas.e story was quickly fol-
lowed bv the true one that the dividend
had been reduced 90 l per cent. and there
