A. g. Chambers, from New York: AS
the Union Pacific declaration has been
made the stock can be looked upon as
an 8 per cent dividend payer, for the
current year, with a possibility that it
will pay more. The fact that the large
roads have considered it wise to make
such q radical dividend declaration in.
pires the hope that other companies will
make greater yields to their st khold-
lers and that the market has before it
the probability Of higher prices. s
