Dow Jones & Co., with others, are pre-
dieting that Western Union is TO go up
to 95. They say that the distribution OF
quotations by the company viii be con-
tinued after June 80 substantially as at
present, and that with the general I'm:
provement in business earnings VIII in
crease materially, making the per cent
dividend assured.
1t seems probable that despite the very
high figures of Chicago Gas at present
there win be very little If any reaction
from them, and that further advance is
assured II is certain that the friends OF
Gas who have been sticking 10 it for SD
long, no matter what the newsw as, and no
matter how the quotations looked, are
still buying Gas all the time.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin yes
terday published an ant Gle to tie effect
that there VIII soon be change in tie
directory OF the American Sugar Refining
Company, and that very hi gh prices for
the stock VIII be reached befole the an
nounCement is made. 1t is limited that
an extra dividend may be simulta neunsly
announced. The new people going INTO
the directory are said 10y the Commercial
Bulletin story TO be much Weather than
the Havemeyers.
This is an important piece of informa
ton, coming from such q source as the
Commercial Bulletin. l have, however,
the facts of the story only spoken of in "a
yelled way in the Bulletin. 1t is u most
remarkable one, and more than that, there
is every evidence that it is true from
beginning to end. 1t means, almost with
out a doubt, that Sugar is going up
tremendously from this time on-that it
will have the squirt of the season in the
market. and that fortunes VIII be made
The very wealthy gentlemen, more wealthy
than the Havemeyers, spoken of in this
story. are the Standard Oil Company
These gentlemen are without question
buying large blocks OF Sugar stock. They
are buying it in every direction and they
mean business. The very high prices spo-
ken of in this article mean the top notch
in the career of the American Sugar Re-
filming Company. How much higher than
that they mean, one can only surnlise.
The extra dividend limited at in this article
is division of the millions Of surplus
that the sugar company has. Something
like $50 100000, believe.

1t will, perhaps, be remembered that
some time earlier in the history of the
sugar company, a certain story floated
about of clash between the Havemeyers
and Mr. John D. Rockefeller. This story
was to the effect that the Hevemeyers
contemplated passing dividend. Mr..
Rockefeller was interested In Sugar at
that time. II e went to the Havemeyers, and
said; Gentlemen, you havee been sell
Ing sugar stock in great blocks on the eX-
pectation that there was TO be a dividend
passed by you. This dividend is not to be
passed. VIII give you forty-eight hours
to square yourselves on the Sugar you have
sold" The Havemeyers did as they were
told, and came out even on the deal, but
had to do it so quickly that a great many
of their friends w he were also selling Sugar
were caught The dividend was not passed
Whether this story is true or not there
arc great many people in this country
who believe that Mr.. Rockefeller, If ne
chose, could secure the sugar refining conl-
pany as an ornament to his front lawn.
They have no doubt that, if it SO pleased
him, he would have no trouble in getting
control of the company. However, the in
formation, which get from source which
believe to be unquestionable, is that
there will be no change in the directory Of
the company. This is contrary to the Com
mercial Bulletin story, but L believe that
it Is the true one.
