Shortly. "
Special to The Journal.

New York, Jan. 3.-Activity and strength
in Northern Securities on the curb and
the character of the buying has given rise
to persistent rumors concerning the COM
pany and its policy. The belief that finds
the widest acceptance is that the directors
at the next meeting will vote to increase
the dividend probably to per cent. The
price OF the stock has advanced 2k for
the current week and brokers who sold
short week ago in the expectation Of a
break in the market at the years end,
were forced to cover During the past
few days the buying has been done very
openly and even ostentatiously, by bro
kers who are understood to be execut-
ing orders for Mr.. Hill and his friends.
The quarterly meeting of the directors
is expected to take place Jan. or 10.

to-day Mr.. Riley refers to Mr. Rookie
feller's life as one Of "strict temperance,
and, aside from his methods Of money
making, superior morality"
Mr.. Riley suggests that in view Of the
close apparent association of the recent
nillion-dollar grant Of Mr.. Rockefeller to
the university and a rise in OIL the name
of the university might, in all justice, be
changed so as to include in the new dedi-
cation the names of the poor purchas-
ers, presumably Of oil. 80
| Closing, Mr.. Riley says he has long sus-
pected the theology Of the seminary of
Chicago University to be watered
stock
Here is what Mr.. Riley said:
There is much about Mr.. Rockefeller
to admire. He has made his own fortune
in the sense, at least, that he inherited
none of it from successful parents. Any
man familiar with his personal history
cannot question that he has evinced a
business sagacity exercised by few Of his
equally favored fellows. His life also has
been one Of strict temperance, and, aside
from his methods Of money making, su.
perior morality; not to speak Of his activ.
| ity as church member and professed
| Christian. On two occasions, in company
| with others, I have had the privilege Of
spending an evening with him, and he. GER.
| tainly impressed me as an transformations
and sincere man. One could wish that
| In manners at least, all kings and queens
| Of finance, were as wholesome and sen.
sible. - -@-.
"As to his method of money-making
there is much in it that no minister OF
the gospel could be expected to commend
The buying out of competitors is com.
monty regarded as legitimate; but the
crushing out Of competitors is altogether
another matter. Just how much Of this
the Standard OIL company has done, per.
haps no man knows. The fact that 1t is
not the only sinner in this custom in nc
wise excuses the course. If I were q
politician instead Of a preacher, I SHOULD
feel, however, that the sins of the pres.

proposed, SO a high official Of Lake Su-
perior says, to push to rapid completion

that it was for the best interests of the
