THOSE L. & N. DIVIDENDS.
No Probability That They VIII BE
ME

No Probability That They VIII BE
Raised as Yet.
NEW YORK. Octotr- 5.-(Special.)-
There have been rumo- that the Allan
tic-Coast Line has agreed to raise the
dividend on Louisville and Nashville,
partly, at least, in the interest Of minority
stockholders. It can be said very posi-
lively that no such agreement has been
made, and, while an increase in the Louis
vile dividend is probable some time in
the future, it is not likely to come about
for two or three years. The holding up
OF the price of the stock has given SO
much encouragement to the increased
dividend runor that an official statement
of the Coast Line policy on this point
may be made before long. There is no
doubt that the Atlantic-Coast Line stock
holders will agree to the proposition to
buy the controlling interests in Louis
Vile 1t is understood that large ma
jority Of the stockholders have already
expressed their intention of voting in
favor of the purchase. The profit on the
purchase to the Coast Line is expected to
come through increased traffic at the out
set and through larger dividends here
after. Considerable saving can be effected
in operation and the control Of SO large
system will give the Coasl, Line increased
advantages in it's eastern field.
