conspicuous stock on the list yesterday,
with a steady advance TO 6S - the high
est price ever reached by it. The state
ment may be made on good authority that
there was heavy buying Of the stock for
Western interests during the greater part
Of the day and IL is known that general
commission business in IL was exception
ally good The common stock was also
strong. getting as high as % "a The ex-
pectation OF another wonderful monthly
statement by the company seems to be the
reason for the strength Of the stock in ad
dition TO the understanding in usually
well-informed quarters that the dividend is
to be increased. The present rate OF earn
ings on Atchson preferred is actually be
tween S and 10 per cent, and there is no
