Yesterday that earnings Of the Southern ROADS
would fall off as the result of the outbreak OF

does not appear TO be well founded as present day

NORFOLK AND WESTERN.

Norfolk and Western directors will meet to-mor-
row to declare the usual half yearly dividend OF Z
per cent on the preferred stock. At the same time
a preliminary statement for the year will be made
and az foreshadowed in statements made month
or more ago. earnings will show very large sur
plus above preferred stock dividend requirements
In Yesterdays market traders endeavored 10 de-
press Norfolk and Western as well as southern
Railway issues on the outbreak OF yellow fever at
IIomnton but beyond small recession at the open
ing the price was not affected. In the last year
the company earned a dividend on the common
stock and It IS safe say that ny another year the
common will be in the dividend list. As per cent
stock Norfolk and Western preferred is yielding at
its present market price per cent. and as
the company has been ably reorganzed ana is doing
an enormous business. there is no reason why the
preferred stock should not be among the leaders In
point of advance in the August market. oincers OF
the company said yesterday that they expected no
bad effects from yellow fever. as far as their line
was concerned.
