Dividends in Sugar and Atchisop

FAIR BUYING OF RAILWAY SHARES
Steel Issues Affected by Rumors of
Discussions.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. June THE first hair ~
today's market was given over to dullu,ss
and the usual irregularity of traders deal
ings. The expectation Of dividends on At
Gibson preferred and American Sugar had
a tendency 10 restrict trading until the &C
ton Of the directors OF those companies
became known
In the early afternoon the entire market
was influenced by the declaration ~ the
usual , per cent on Sugar ANA Ia per
cent on Atchison. The covering NJ short
contracts in both stocks Immediately fol
lowed the dividend announcement
In Sugar a general advance in The trade
rates for the refined product was added TO
the incentive TO buy the stock. Ramars or
all sorts relative to the settling ol ;he Trade
war are TO be heard and are interesting 10
the extent that such a discussion usually
has some basis in fact. The plans are mol
mature and may never hc. huJ u Is only
reasonable to expect this company To MAKE
determined effort Ia regain us lost dnmiu-
ion over the sugar trade. This fact ana
the certainty of legislative draWbarks next
winter are factors suggesting immediate
developments, If any combination IS under
consideration.
The steel stocks were adversely influenced

Of that company. The recent scmi-otbcial
adViCes favored a dividend OF OF ! per
cent on these shares. but il has since de-
NelOped that . per cent was the most that
certain directors We're willing to pay. In
addition to this factor some NJ the directors
are credited with desire to see the stock
lower and willing that the dividend
question should be postponed for a time.
Later adVices on this subject gave the as
surance that the question would come Up
and be disposed Of June %.
The buying in the railroad list was very
good during the afternoon, the showing
made by Atchison encouraging a moderate
demand throughout the railway list Tho
Granger shares were particularly strong,
and the buying OF thsm was better than
for several days past The disbursements
around the LIST of July are expected to be
literally spent IN the investment markets
and securities with good dividend record
are almost certain 10 meet with an enlour-
aging inquiry.
Further gold exports are considered like
~, as the City Bank is said To have con-
tracted for practical duplication OF the
recent outflow. The circumstances under
which this gold goes out are not an adverse
factor in the market, and no special atten-
ton seems likely to be given the subject
The market now needs little but an ont
side demand and once activity is supplied
higher prices are practically certain.

From the London TELEGRAPH

An offertory bag in a suburban church
was recently found to contain a very rare
specimen of a seventeenth century token
made of copper. which had apparently been
dropped into the receptacle in mistake for
a farthing. The curio was valued by a local
dealer at Is shiliingS. A description of the
article and the circumstances under which
it was found was affixed to the church
porch. but the donor seemed ashamed to
turn up and explain matters. A few days
after ward the clergyman received a type
written letter from address q long dis
lance from the church, stating that il the
token were sent to *. Y. H." care of the
householder, remittance of half d soyer-
eign would be received in exchange. 1t was
duly sent in registered letter, and a pos
tai order for 10 shiilings arrived in return.
The owner of the token is doubtless gnash-
ing his teeth at having had to pay shiliings
and IL pence farthings for the error of not
making sure of the humblest coin of the
realm before dropping 1t into the offertory
bag, but his liberal course of action may
have been influenced by the fact that the
clergyman declared his intention of selling
the curiosity for what II would fetch IL the
owner declined to claim ii and contribute
reasonable sun to the treasury. The
question remains whether in the Great Ac-
count the amount which he has now dis
bursed will be placed to his credit or mere
ly the farthing which he originally intended
TO give. On this point theologians are d.
yided-

Mr. Bcllamy StOrer United States minister

should be received a Madrid about the

Spanish minister to the United States, was

Whether he is still there at Madrid is

thus fully restoring the diplomatic relations
