 Per Gent. Annually.

New York April 26.-At the quarter 1y meeting of the United States Steel corporation today the directors de- clared regular dividend of 1 IA per cent. on the common shares, thereby increasing the rate from four per cent. to five per cent annually.
 In a statement to the directors, Chairman Gary announced that any additional disbursements hereafter made on the common stock will take the form Of extra dividends" The action of the directors was in line with popular expectations, though the course of steel common in the late session of the stock market seemed to reflect some uncertainty on this point.
 Earnings for the quarter ending March 31st last amounted to- $37,616.- .- 876 with net returns Of $31 ,503, 194. These figures are likely to cause some as conservative fore casters had fixed gross returns at not less than $39.0OO. 900.
 Contrary to the usual custom the figures accompanying the quarterly statement were filled in with ink, in- stead of being regularly printed like the body of the statement.
 The usual quarterly dividend of l 3-4 per cent on the preferred shares, pay able May a, Was declared.

 Connecticut's Interest in Conservation Is Twofold.
 "connecticut's interest in conserva- ton is twofold. We want more wa ters in our rivers in the dry season, and we want the channels of our rivers deepened. As the cost of coal mounts higher and higher. water pow CTS will be increasingly vaiuabie. lt cuts down the profits when a manu- facturer had to shut down in the spring on account of high water and in Au- gust on account of low water. Again. If we are going to use our rivers for purposes of navigation, the draught of vessels used must be determined by the depth of the channel in the dry season. If there is any doubt as Co how much the forests held back tho water. let's give ourselves the benefit of doubt and preserve them.
 A Prediction.
 "As to river improvement, our man ufacturers and merchants are alto gether too fat and prosperous 10 work up very much enthusiasm over it. But, some time, the Connecticut val ley is going to feel the relentless grip of competition from localities where fuel, raw material. and water power are all in Juxtaposition. When that time comes. I predict that it will flaah upon us with a shock that is not en- tirely pleasant that transportation is the artery through which they draw their industrial life blood. Then will it dawn upon us that God was very good to us when he gave us these rivers and harbors."
