GAS DIVIDENDS HALVED
Stockholders to Pay for 20 Per Cent
Drop IN Price.

The directors Of the Consolidated Gas Com
pany declared dividend yesterday Of 1 per
cent for the quarter. payable June 10. The last
preceding declaration had been , per cent The
dividend OF yesterday. ii was said by an official
OF the company. was not a quarterly dlVi-
dend' but it was thought probable IN Wall
Street that the stock would remain on a per
cent basis for some time to come The dividend
record for series OF years has been as follows
From 1894 to 1895. inclusive. per cent; 1899
in the period Of the gas war" 51s per cent:
1900. 6: 1901 to 1903 inclusive. 5; 19o4 and
1905. each S1a per cent.
One of 'the directors said yesterday when
asked whether or not the 4 per cent rate would
probably be permanent. that it would depend
entirely on the future profits Of the company.
In view of the approaching reduction in the
price Of gas from 81 70 50 cents a thousand
cubic feet. he added. the directors had felt
themselves obliged TO reduce the amount OF the
disbursement TO the shareholders The com
pany was however. preparing TO bring an ac
rion TO test the constitutionality OF the SO-cent
gas law
A reduction in the dividend rate had been gen
orally expected, that belief having been reflected
in the decline in price Of the cOmpany's stock
which has been in progress for weeks The sell
ing has been partly liquidation of investment
holdings and largely short selling. and the price
yesterday reached 131 the lowest level since
1895. It's first dip TO 131 was in the morning
before the dividend was announced From that
point it rallied 20 1914 falling again 70 l3I
when the rate for the quarter was found TO be
1 per cent Then il rallied on supporting or
ders and short covering and closed at lS.3l4
fractiouaIly higher than on the preceding day
The highest price al which Consolidated Gas
has sold this wear was 1914. on January -. be-
fore the SACent measure had been enacted into
law In 190l Il sold as nigh az 25s.
