SI2O, ,OO0, GOO TO BE PAID.
July Dividends the Largest Ever
known in the Country.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Conservative esti-
mates of the combined dividend and in
terest disbursements in July place the fig
ure at between S120. .00o,0 900 and s125, OO0, 900
The amount is larger than has ever been
paid in any previous July. The reason for
the increase is that several important cor
porations have increased their rates Of
dividend payments, while others that have
not yielded their stockholders any return
for some years have entered the dividend
paying rank.
The directors of the St. Paul Railroad.
for instance, have increased their rate
from to per cent on the common stock
The Missouri Pacific has come forward
with 2lh per cent, its first in eight years.
The Amalgamated Copper Company has
declared an extra dividend of one-half of
l per cent. on its stock. The Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe has paid a semi-annual
dividend of 11a per cent on its common
stock, and the Norfolk & Western and the
Minneapolis & st. Louis have declared
new dividends.
In addition TO these some Of the indus
trial companies have decided to give to
earnings that have been piled up through
three or four years of remarkable prosper
ity.
In this connection there is a great deal
of speculation to what the directors of
j. Plerpont Morgans billiOn-dollar corpor-
ation, United States Steel, will do. The
directors will meet July 2, and ii is gener-
ally expected that they will declare quar-
terly dividend of Ia. per cent. on the COM
panys enormous amount OF the preferred
stock. At the same time II is believed
by many holders of the stock that they
will make a declaration of l per cent. quar-
terly on the common stock
If these payments are made they will
add something like sl5o00,000 to the total
amount Of July dividends. IL is possible
that the common dividend will be paid in
August instead of in July, so that the COM
pany will not be obliged 10 disburse so
large an amount of money at one time.
The earnings are certainly there for the
common stock. but ii may be matter of
policy with the directors whether TO pay
the dividend or not.
The Standard Oil Company has just paid
one dividend of $4,000 900, which figures
In the July total The government will
also come forward with about s. 500. 900 in

NEW YORK, June 25-Vladimir A Tep-
low, the Russian consul general in this city,
in discussing the tariff dispute between
this country and Russia said:
The whole trouble, if there be any
trouble Is due TO a misunderstanding on
the part of the United States. Russia and
the United States have too many inter
ests that are mutual for either one TO be
able to afford TO oppose the other. Siberia
Is large country, and when Ii is opened
which will be in about two years, America
will have ii for market almost exclusive
ly. From the physical position of Siebra
no otner country is available. Why, then
should Russia antagoniZe the country from
winch Siberia must draw the most of her
supplies? We shall want machinery
lamps, bicycles. in fact, almost everything
that America produces. AS to sugar all

what the fSurcs are for the whole coun-
try. Would IL not be absurd for America
TO sacrifice the tremendous industrial in
tereSts she has in Russia on account of a
comparatively Insignificant tariff on our
sugar?
There is a rumor of a concert of the
European nations against the United
States TO check the commercial progress
mat this country is making In my opinion
such a coalition can never be made But
if such thing could possibly happen you
may be sure that Russia would not make

GoluchowskI, head of the Ministry of that
country, our bitterest foe. Obviously. the

England, are artfully encouraging Golu-
chowski in his course, with view of
drawing our fire before they openly de-
clare themselves. For the immediate fu-
ture our trade prospects were never bright

total crop failure in Germany. The agri-
cultural outlook is only a little better in
France, and even in England the crop
yield is not promising. But as soon as

are LOUD professions of friendship for the
pressiOns of admiration of our commercial
development and methods. The Russians
are modelling their tariff system after ours,
