The Delaware and Hudson Dividend.
There is much uncertainty over the Del
aware and Hudson dividend. 1t is said
that the directors of the company are di-
vided as to what should be the policy
adopted, some being in favor of an in
crease and others of the same rate as a
present
If no increase is made conservative
holders of the stock will not be disposed
to complain. 1t will be remembered that
year ago when the dividend was in
creased to per cent there was much
speculation as TO whether the new rate
was to be a permanent one. The officers
of the system would make no promises,
and the bears made much capital out of
the fact. Now at least the Z per cent
rate may be said to be established.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Closes a Cent Lower After a
NerYOua Day,

CHICAGO, Jan. There was a large
and active trade in wheat today and the
market ruled nervous, with a range of one
cent a bushel After opening lower, ow-
ing to disappointing cables from abroad,
it later rallied in sympathy with the
strength in oats, but free realizing on
the advance caused the market during the
balance of the day to rule weak, and the
close was one cent a bushel below last
night. Liverpool reported their market as
quiet, only Nd higher for the day. Con-
tinental markets were irregular, some
higher and some lower. There was a
very good cash demand by local millers
all over the country The export demand
at the seaboard was quiet.
Corn-Trade in corn was rather light
today and the market ruled easier in SYM
pathy with wheat and closed &c lower
than last night. Liverpool, after declin-
ing 1sd early later recovered the loss and
closed firm and unchanged from yester-
day. Country offerings were very light,
but cash demand today was rather quiet.
Oats - There was a large and active
dealing in oats. and the market during
the early part of the session ruled strong,
especially the July option, on good buy
ing for long account, as well as covering
by shorts. Later prices eased off in sym
pathy with wheat. The close, however,
was steady.

These bondholders were greatly sur

few days after January / notification that
their bonds had matured and would be
redeemed at par upon presentation and
