Railroad Dividends Increased.

The eastern railroads assert that they
cannot grant wage increases because
freight rates have been declining, while
construction and maintenance materials
have been advancing in price: but unfa-
vorable deductions from these premises
are somewhat negatived marketwise by
the fact that dividends have been increas-
ing with further increases expected.
The new suit which the federal At
torney General had tried to bring in
order to show the Supreme Court some
thing about the law in relation to the
transportation of commodities has been
thrown out.
All the routine weekend summar ies
OF conditions were encouraging, or, at
least, not discouraging. Bank clearings
showed only a nominal increase for
the whole country in comparison with
the clearings for the corresponding
week last year, but they increased,
nevertheless.
