Large Operations in St. Paul Give

But this important financing. accomplish ed al that period, left these compan- ies at less disadvantage in the diff cult circumstances which developed in the later financial crisis. This ad- vantage Is cited to account for the present extraordinary strength of the group, the two Ilill stocks sharing in the benefit st.

Pennsylvania rose quite con- spicuously in face of the reduction In Che dividend rate from z to per cent This was in consonance with tho nc- ton of other stocks on which divi- dcnd reductions have been discounted
 in the speculation some effect on sentiment was produced by absence of further gold export engagements for to-morrow's steamers In addition to this cessation of the gold outgo, the preliminary estimates of the currency movement with the interior gave evl- dence of the sustained heavy flow to this center. The material progress made by the Pennsylvania in reducing operating cost as shown by the report | Of March earnings, was a source of satisfaction and helped that stock more than the dividend reduction hurt it Copper was lower again. both in !

This dividend reduction had been very generally expected, and instead of declining on the announcement, the price of the stock advanced a fraction, In support of tho reduction tho Penn sylvania's management had the oper- ating results of the first quarter of 1908, which showed that the roads earnings have suffered as severe q de- cline as the other roads of the country since the panic. During tho first three months of the present year gross transportation receipts of the Eastern lines fell $5,S2S,O00, or l6 per cent, be- low the first quarter of last year. while net earnings were $1550,0O0 less, q rate of decrease which if continued for a year would represent an amount equal to DOT cent, on the $3l4,0OOOOO of capital stock outstanding.
