SURPRISED Wall STREET RY4R re.
SUMPTION OF DIVIDENDS
ON COMMON STOCK.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1-Wall street
was treated to a somewhat sensation.
al surprise yesterday when the direc.
tors of the United States Steel Cor
I~poration declared a resumption of iiv-
sidends on the common stock. The an
nouncament was not made until about
90 minutes after the stock market.
closed, but the steel shares had made.
noticeable advances during the after
noon, the common closing at 40 and
the preferred at 107: The regular
quarterly dividend of IN per cent. was.
declared on the preferred stock.
According to the official statement
the common dividend takes the form
,.of a payment Of PEI cent in two
quarterly instruments. one-half OF !
per cent. for the quarter ended March
ia and the same amount for the quar-
tier ended June 30. This is the first
dividend paid since December 80. 1908,
when one-ha1f of 4 per cent. was De.
clared.

siderable discussion had taken place
before this important step was decid-
ed upon and it's effect on general
stock market conditions had been
carefully weighed.
One Significant feature of the divt-
dend announcement was 'the evident
fact that the matter was finally and
co~nclusively decided u1o at to.day's
meeting. The dividend was not con-
tained in the printed quarterly report,
but was made known in typewriter
slips hastily prepared after the meet
ling. 1t was j. Pierpont Morgan him
self who on leaving the board room
first announced the action on the com
mon shares.
