CONSOLIDATED GAS SLUMPS.
Vine Years Since the Price Was as Low
rs l8O l.2.

Following the reduction Of 20 cents
thousand ordered in the price OF gas in
Manhattan by the State Commission of Gas
and Electricity the price of Consolidated
Gas declined nine points yesterday and
closed at leola-the lowest price since 1897.
In the last two days there has been a decAne
Of thirteen points and about 10000 shares
have been sold. The low price OF the stock,
q far back as 1893, was 1853 and it has been as
high as 23s. Peoples Gas OF Chicago
acted in sympathy with Consolidated.
u has suffered a loss of two points In the
ast few days. On account Of the agitation
ior cheaper gas in Chicago and the reduo-
ton Of the price there, the directors Of the
Peoples Company recently reduced the
dividend rate from per cent. to S per cent.
The action of the State Gas Commission
naturally led Wall Street to believe that
Consolidated Gas would again reduce its
dividend. The quarterly dividend, which
YES Increased from to 2M per cent. In No
sember, 1901, was reduced in May, 1908,
% the old rate of 2 per cent. At that time
the fear If impending hostile legislation
was given az the reason and it was regarded
as not unlikely yesterday that the rate may
be reduced to per cent. annually.

Further March liquidation following dis
appointing Liverpool advices caused an
other decline. There is disposition TO bold
aloof from the bull side until the question
OF how many March notices are to be sent

crop movement is still pretty liberal, although
the estimates for Houston are beginning to
show falling of.
At the decline Europe was buying. and
there was also certain amount Of covering
OF shorts. Some we're buying March and
selling July. 1t was not an active market,
however. ana in general 1t lacked features
Of striking interest. The worst feature was
