May Reduce Dividends.

Hartford, Sept. 25.-The new and very important tax law. relative to insur- ance and bank shares, which was adopted by the last legislature, goes into effect this Ocotber The com panies will now make returns and pay the taxes while their shareholders will be in the same position as holders of railroad or manufacturing stocks; they will hold a security which pays it's own tax and consequently is not taxed against it's owner. There has been con- siderable guessing as to the action that would be taken as regards dividends this fall by companies of this nature for which this is the dividend period

 The Aetna Fire, which usually pays per cent. quarterly in October, has voted to pay l-2 per cent. this time, reducing the dividend from $1C0,000 to S140,000. No decision has been reached by the board as to the action to be taken in January. The company has been dividing 5 per cent in January and July, and in April and October. It is the common opinion on the street that the reduction will not equal the amount that the resident stockholder has had to pay in taxes on his stock
