The statistical returns were generally
bearish. Our visible supply Unexpectedly

Corn has been steady, holding its own
in spite of the wheat decline, and at times
during the session showing slight adj
vance Liverpool was unchanged to I'D

There were liberal receipts, 656 cars, but
the inspection sheet showed only one car
of contract grade. The estimate for to-
morrow is-S50 cars. There was a net in
crease in the local stock in store and
afioat of only 253.060 bushels. Shipping
business was small, Peoria offering cheap

Oats held their own. The market was
helped by the assumption that the big

the price of the stock. The brokers, being
summoned to enlighten the jury as to the

not satisfy the jury, it was said, and in
order TO bring the matter entirely before

BIG SALE OF TRACTION STOCK.
Comment On the Possibility OF n
Larger Dividend.

The local stock market yesterday wit
messed a heavy transaction in Capital
Traction stock at good advance in price
that caused some comment. For several
weeks the price of the stock has been
around 81, but last week it advanced a
point or more to above 90. Yesterday this
small advance was quite cvershadowed by

Exchange. at SO, and by one sale of 500
shares after the call al 90 l-2
The purchase OF the large block of the
stock was for an insider, and friends of
the company were of the opinion that an
increase in the dividend on the stock in
April is foreshadowed AS has been stated
in The Times heretofore, the question of an
increase in the dividend to per cent has
been discussed by the offers of the COM
pany. The understanding is that il has
been tacitly agreed that if the increased
dividend is earned before April it will be
paid. 1t is known that so far in this
quarter the earnings have exceeded those
of the first quarter last year. There have
been offers on the exchange of so cents for
the dividend, or cents more than the
per cent rate heretofore paid.
