NORTHERN PACIFIC ACTION

New York. June Ito find parallel
10 today's stagnation in the stock mar
ket It would be necessary TO go back to
the period Of the last presidential cam
paign. A number Of usually active stocks
| were not dealt in to the extent Of q sin
gle share. and it was long after noon be-
fore such a speculative leader as Brook
Ign Transit or Manhattan made its APP
pearance on the tape ar all. There was
some desuitory speculation in Sugar dur
ing the morning at an advance OF aboUJ
a point but that stock fell hack into the
rut of dullness which characterized the
whole market Large offerings OF North
ern Pacific began to appear near ? o'clock
at which time the directors were assem-
bling TO take action on the semi-annual
dividend. The stock fell into quietude
in the last hour and hung about a poin;
below last nights level. II was not until
after the close Of the market that the
announcement was made that only a l
per cent dividend had been declared for
the six months period. The proposed ac-
ton Of the directors seems TO have been
kept close secret, so that no estimate
can be formed Of the effect OF this action
on tn stock market At the last dividend
period the directors declared per cent
on the common stock, per cent of which
was called regular senni-annual and ! per
cent extra Several weeks ago the stock
was rushed up above 60 by a specula tive
pool on the allegation that a regular
semi-anpual dividend of per cent would
be declared for the last six months. More
recently rumors have been abroad that
the directors would hesitate to put the
stock on a regular per cent basis but II
has been generally accepted in speculat-
i've circles that the last dividend action
would be repeated; that is TO say, 2
per cent dividend declared but per cent
70 be called extra No intimation has
been heard in Wall street that the actual
amount to be disbursed would be cut In
half. The action taken proved a surprise
and what the effect may be upon the gen
eral market It IS impossible TO foresee.
It is a clear announcement Of the form
ulated Judgment Of the directors. hereto
fore informally announced by officials OF
the company, that the current high level
OF earnings connot be maintained. It
viii be accepted, also. as confirmation of
the reports Of extensive damage to the
northwestern wheat crop. The price
movement in today's market was irregu-
lar and without significance Not mucT
attention was paid to the forecast Of to-
morrow's bank statement. but il is ex
pected that a lose OF cash by he banks
Will be disclosed owing TO the 81 59l.0lo
export OF gold. which seems to have been
only partly offset by the receipt Of cash
from the interior. New York exchange
az Chicago. however. has moved upwards
during the week and today touched %
cents premium. According to the state
rnents from the leading banks the net loss
in cash will probably be upwards o.
million. Closing prices Of stocks were rs

by the War Department doing away

usefulness of the drummer boys. and
many of them became trumpeters. But
Private Smith was anxious to be trans

application the War Department. in
view of his excellent record, waived the
standard of height and weight and as
signed him to the company and regi-

has a continuous service credit of
twenty eight years, and has been en-

served with his regiment throughout
the Spanish American war, and never
once did his size interfere with his
fighting qualities.
