INCREASE OF DIVIDEND
OPPOSED BY H. C. FRlCK

PITTSBURG, April Z7.-It is under
stood that H. c. Frick is not in favor
OF any change in the dividend rate on
the common stock of the United States
Steel Corporation at this time. He is
quoted privately as having said that 1t
was a fortunate circumstance that the
directors decided last July to resume
dividends at the rate of per cent per
annum. instead of delaying a resump-
ton until April, 1907, as was intended,
because the results of 1906 more than
met expectations, and if the directors
were called upon now to consider the
question of raising dividends they could
not with good grace declare less than
the original rate of / per cent quar-
terly. Having begun dividends at the
rate OF Y per cent quarterly, and having
laid out an immense amount OF new
construction work, Mr. F'rick is under
stood TO take the position that Il would
be better TO continue his u per cent rate
for two quarters at least, and then III
everything justified II, declare per cent
per quarter for the last two Quarters
of the year. This would be equivalent
TO per cent out of the earnings of the
current fiscai year, and the actual pay
ment made out Of the earnings of the
last quarter would not really be paid
until March, 1905.

The tone of the market during the

the publication of the bank statement
some slight animation developed and
prices took an upward turn.
