More Active and Steady Than
for Some Days.
PENNSYLVANIA DIVIDEND
Great Interest in the Board of Direc-
tors Action.
NOW ON A Z PER CENT BASIS
Politics and Money Affairs Were
Absorbing Themes Of Converse
ton on the Street.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November There was
a further slight betterment In point OF
activity in todays stock market. and dur
ing the greater part of the business ses-
sion fairly steady tone was exhibited.
Political and money market aHalfS were
again the absorbing themes of discussion.
although. of course, great interest was
taken also in the action of the MANAGE
ment of the Pennsylvania railroad upon
the semi-annual dividend on that stock
1t was announced early in the afternoon
that a semi-annual dividend or . ~ Fer
cent had been declared on Pennsylvania,
thus establishing the stock upon "A Z per
cent basis. For several weeks past tnere
has been a strong consensus OF opinion
that there would be an increased dis.rl- =
button OF profits in Pennsylvania, but
conjectures varied as to whether the m
crease would be made In an extra or a
regular form.
Today's action of course eliminates all
uncertainty in this regard. although there
has been a good deal of discussion as to
the eXpedtency OF the action Which was
taken today. at least, at the present time.
Striking exceptions to the generally
steady tone of the railway list were fHr-
nfshed by the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Mexican Central. The decline In the first
named was directly accounted for throus n
the declaration late yesterday afternoon
of the usual annual dividend of L per
cent a higher figure having been iuite
commonly reckoned upon until recently.
The sharply reactionary movement III
Mexican Central was explained by an ap-
parently authoritative statement that tho
negotiations looking to the acquisition or
a large interest in the property by me
Mexican government had been broken OFT
Transactions in the railway list aside
from Pennsylvania, were largest IN itead-
ing Union Pacific, st. Paul, Baltimore
and Ohio and Atchison.
The strongest and most active feature s
OF the Industrial and miscellaneous shat cS
were American Smelling. AmalganIated
Copper and United States Steel common.
The traction shares were dull but steady
during the larger part of the business
session.

Broker Alleged to Have Stolen
100000.
Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. Ill. November lone Of the
biggest alleged swindlers the country has
ever seen. according to secret service men.
was arrested in Chicago today In the per-
son of Chas. Whitney Norton of 1915 West
Monroe street, who is accused by the fed
eral government of obtaining $3O00,Ooo
worth of mining stocks and other securi-
ties by means of false pretenses.
Several suit cases filled with the stolen
stocks and with other documents were
covered by post Office inspectors.
Norton, who Is said to have served egh
teen months in prison in Vermont on SIM
liar charges, was the proprietor of con-
Germ he called the American Wholesale
Brokerage Company, at Elmira, N. Y. He
disappeared from that city two years ago
after securing the stocks and bonds.
Norton is alleged to have worked his
scheme by getting in touch with mining
corporations. chiefly in Arizona. Nevada,
Oregon. Washington and many other states
both east and west. He sent out letters
saying he had customers in London for
ullnlnS STOCKS, ana IN IniS way iHuuceo
holders of securities to send the paper to
him, assigned either in blank or directly to
him.
From Elmira Norton is said to have gone
to Troy. N. Y, from there to Toledo and
thence to Detroit. In all of these places,
and many others, from coast to coast he
is alleged to have worked his scheme, in
quieter fashion.
Norton came to Chicago last January.
In the meantime it is charged that he
succeeded in disposing Of considerable
part of his fraudulently o tained stocks by
trading them for lands in Virginia, Ten
nessee, Alabama, Georgia and other states.
Deeds to these lands. comprising thou
sands of acres, were found in the suit cases
which the detectives contiscated.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

When the stock OF the Capital Traction
Company was called at the meeting today
of the stock exchange there seemed to be
some uncertainty about it, as If after the
experience with 1t yesterday when the stock
went down some points there might be
something that would hurt If any one In
cautiously approached at too near a range.
In consequence the opening bid was below
the lowest selling price of yesterday. as 1t
began at 142 and rose half point. When
1t was found after some accommodating
that there was no stock to come out less
than 1881 the bid advanced somewhat and
finally the Offering of twenty shares at that
figure was taken.
The broker selling at once offered the
stock again at the same price. and that was
taken. and 1t was still to be had. but the
bid receded. and the broker who was doing
the selling accepted the bid Of 143A. and
then 1t became apparent that there was no
more stock TO come from that source.
The lowest asking price was then IA,
while the bid did not advance above 1433s.
The principal trader In the stock, who did
not figure N the trading Of today as he did
yesterday. then bid 143 for a block of 100
shares. but without result. 1t Is supposed
that the shares that comprised the selling
of yesterday was from some New York
noiuef WHO desired 10 reauZc Lie support
given the stock, however. was not strong,
and In consequence 1t Is thought the recess
sion occurred
The only feature about the trading, or
rather the attempt to trade, In gas stock
today was that no effort was made to
find out how much stock was to be had
at 81. while bids ranging all the way from
SO to 56A for large and small blocks were
made. The bidders were quite numerous.
while only one broker offered the stock
for sale.
The preferred stock of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company was Of
fered down to S1A without result and that
offering was withdrawn and sSh was SUBJ
stituted. The best bid was S7ss
stock was offered at 391a, and the stock
at 80 with the bid price three-quarters
of a point below that level.
Some consideration is being given by in
terests that are largely identified with the
real estate business in this city to the ad-
visibility of forming trust company. The
| underlying idea of the business to be done
is. of course, loans on real estate. hut SO
far the consideration of such a project has
not gone beyond the initial stage. and 1t Is
not known yet whether 1t would prove to
be profitable undertaking.
All that be said at this time Is that
attention is being given to the matter. and
If 1t is thought that If the prospects justify
such course company OF that kind Will
be organized. OF course, 1t is recognized
that to a large extent, loans of that sort
constitute the business of the existing
companies, but those who are talking about
a new company believe that there is room
here for another

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, November 1.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance of 1 to
points in response to better cables than
expected and continued coldweather re-
ports. Trading was not at all active, but
the buying seemed to be of a better charac-
ter than recently, and prices worked up on
the active months with the market in the
middle of the morning about to points
net higher. The New Orleans market be-
ing closed for the day probably had a
tendency to restrict general business. and
the smaller receipts estimated for the day
and for tomorrow at Houston in connection
with frost reports checked local offerings.
