EXTRA BURLINGTON DIVIDEND.
Yearly Rate Increased From to 8.
Readjustment of Hill Holdings.

NEW YORK. September Gan increase
in the dividend rate of the Chicago Bur-
nnSton and Quincy railroad from to per
cent and a declaration Of large extra div-
dend by the directors yesterday were looked
upon as possibly the preliminary steps to-
ward the much-tal&edof readjustment Of
the stock holdings in this company of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
roads. One of the possibilities which has
been rumored persistently was that the
Northern Pacific was to sell to the Great
Northern its equity in Burlington stock.
J. J. Hill. chairman of the Great Northern
board. said after the meeting:
The additional dividend of 6 per cent on
the Burlington stock will equaliZe the
rying charges to the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern of the joint bonds issued to
acquire the Burlington stock.
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
have had the Burlington for about six
years. and during this time the Burlington
mas not paid the carrying charges of the
joint per cent bonds to the extent of / per
cent per annum. and therefore to equalize
TINS deficiency per cent additional has
been declared on the Burlington stock.
The Burlington is in very prosperous
shape. Its earnings are increasing sub
stanually and the annual report of 1907 will
show that it had the best year in its his
tory"
The Great Northern and the Northern
aSiic OetWeen lnem own out
of the $llUS39 100 of Burlington stock,
which they bought with an issue of Bur
lington per cent bonds. which they guar
anteed jointly on the basis of $500 In bonds
for 500 IN stock. In what proportion the
two roads own the stock is not known, but
1t Is commonly supposed that the holdings
of the Great Northern are the larger
The increase of the dividend rate of the
burlington stock will mean an additional
$l.V76.12O year to be divided between the
two roads. and the extra dividend will give
them 720 to divide. The disposition
which they will make Of this money Is not
known. but 1t was rumored that 1t would be
disbursed to stockholders Immediately in a
special dividend. Bankers were inclined to
disbelieve this. on the ground that the rail-
roads in general were having too much diff
ficulty In borrowing money to go out of
their way to cut melons.
The increase in the dividend rate was
made by declaring a quarterly dividend Of
per cent instead of the usual II per cent
quarterly rate.

Steamers on Outside Route.

BOSTON, September 8.-The announce
ment by the Eastern Steamship Company
that an outside passenger service will be
inaueurated next Monday between this city
and New York was followed by the decIara-
ton of Charles s. Mellen that Boston will
soon have an outside freight line, operated
by the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad.
Mr.. Morse's plan to carry passengers to
New York by the all water route is a pro-
ject which Mr.. Mellen says he has never
regarded worthy of serious consideration
he does purpose to establish such an out
side line for freight.
MY third steamer the Old Colony was
under contract for delivery in May" said
Mr.. Mellen. but the delays in its compile
ton have been such that It is now promised
on November 1. That is practically the
opening Of the winter. not the most favor
able time for inauguration of steamship
service. and I should prefer to wait until
spring. Whether I shall do so or not de-
ponds on what happens in the meantime"
Mr.. Mellen said he hoped that this latest
move of Mr.. Morse would relieve the minds
Of those who persisted In believing that he
and Mr. Morse had entered Into an agree

POLICE FOR MOROCCO
FRANCE AND SPAIN MUST Or
CAME THE FORCE.

PARIS. September Ga most important
has occurred in the political aspect of the
Moroccan question. a change which may
have a far-reaching effect on the future
of Morocco and the relations of the powers
thereto. France and Spain have the in
tention to occupy the littoral ports of Mo-
police organizations. This contemplated
action results from the Official announce
ment from the Moroccan government.
through the war minister. Ell Gabbas. that
it is unable to guarantee the safety Of the
European instructors of the international
police force. which under the terms OF the
Algeciras convention. was to be composed of
Moors.
The dilemma of France and Spain. who
by the terms of the Algecras convention
are compelled to organize the international
police was submitted to the signatory
powers. including the United States, and
they all agreed that the situation demanded
that France and Spain police Morocco them
selves. Although 1t Is distinctly stipulated
that Sucn occupation Is merely provisional,
or until 1t is safe to recruit the police from
among the Moors. there is a strong feeling
that 1t is absolute anarchy reign:ng in Mo-
rocco, and may mean this occupation Of the
ports may be long drawn out, perhaps last
ing indefinitely.
Moreover, the occupation of the ports
may cause serious complications. resulting
from the continued hostility of the fanati-
an enlargement of tr~ police action and
eliminate in virtual mi itary control of
the Moroccan empire. This however, will
depend on the attitude of the Moors
France has planned to occupy Mazagan,
Mogador. Sati and Rabat, and Spain is to
occupy El-Araish and Tetuan. France and
Spain together VIII occupy Casa Blanca and
Tangier.
Arrangements for the policing Of those
ports are now being made.

ket observers who take hopeful view OF
the situation say that rather sharp reac-
tons may be expected to follow CORE
spondingly pronounced recoveries mas
much as the most important factors in the
market are strongly against great activity
until underlying conditions are more salts
factory than at the moment. While some
observers of the market who are in close
touch with prominent financial interests say
that they have no faith yet in the upward
tendency of prices. those in position TO
take the broadcast view Of affairs say that
they look for a gradual Improvement.
The forthcoming city bond sale is being
watched with great deal of interest. and
in some circles it is intImated that the av-
erage price received for the bonds will be
surprisingly high. In that event 1t Is
thought that both the speculative and In
vestment market will be given a decided
impetus and that more enthusiasm over the
situation will be displayed than has been
seen in many months. All well-informed
operators look for the sale to be success
but there is considerable difference of opin.
ion as to the basis on which the bonds Will
