Readings Extra Dividends.

The fact that the Baltimore and Ohio
has such large holdings of the Reading
stock caused some comment on the re-
port from New York of a possible in
crease in the Reading dividends. Con-
corning the rumor of an extra dividend
on the stock next month, a Philadelphia
dispatch says it is not conceivable that
the. company will undertake new obliga-
tons of this kind in the face of a con-
test with the miners, who threaten a
prolonged strike unless demands are
granted. People acquainted with the
policy of the Reading management have
paid no attention to the extra dividend
rumors. The anthracite producers can
not even entertain some of the proposals
which the Pottsville convention formu-
lated.

Steel Review.

Reviewing the past weeks steel and
iron trade developments the Iron Age will
say tomorrow: Summed up, the latest
developments in finished steel products
are these:
A larger business in some of the heav-
Ter lines. a continuance of the better buy
ing by the railroads, lower prices where
there has been any change, and more Of
fers from consumers to place long time
contracts at present levels. This last is
the most significant feature of the stu
alton.
While some mills are resisting the eff
fort to carry present prices far into next
year, there is evidently an increase in
forward selling. The whole price stu
alton turns on the amount of backlog
accumulated under this movement. Car
buying last week made a larger weeks
total than in months, and other good
sized orders are yet to be given out The
New York Central added $3.50 to its
previous total. and the B. & o. gave out
three orders for 1000, loo, and 1,5O0 cars,
respectively. In the Pittsburg district
the plate and structural business result
ing from car orders placed with local
builders amounts to $1,000 tons, and Chi
cago district mills have booked 1000
tons Of plates and shapes for Western car
shops.
There is larger buying of steel bars,
and July l, 1872, is as a rule the limit on
contracts"

PEARY CUPS PLACED

Admiral Peary has recently deposited in
the Y. s. National museum four pieces of
silver, q notable addition to the Peary col
lection, which has for some months past
been on exhibition in the museum. The
new pieces consist of a replica of the type
of ship used by Hudson, Davis and Baffin
In their exploration of the northwest pass
age and three loving cups presented to Ad-
miral Peary in recognition of his discovery
of the north pole. Two of the cups were
presented by the citizens of Bangor, Port
land and South Portland, Me-, and one
by the members of the Delta Kappa Epsi-
lon association of New York city, of
which the explorer is u member.
The ship is an exact model in silver of
the type of sailing vessel used by the
pioneer arctic n~avigators of the 18th and
18th centuries. and was presented by the
Royal Scottish Geographical society.
On one of the sails is the following IN

Combinations in Rankino.

from the BankerS Magazine.
FILLED with that fresh enthusiasm
which not ~infrequently characterizes the
newcomer into the political field, Gov
ernor Wilson. of New Jersey, in one Of
the addresses recently made to his fell
low citizens, ventured to hint very briefly
that we are threatened in this country
by "a. combination of credit institutions,
and he warned US against the dangers of
a combination Of this kind.
A New York newspaper that has greatly
admired the New Jersey governor at once
took him to task for saying anything SO
jejune, n ridiculcd the idea that there
could be anything Of the kind. He really
must never again say anything so silly
II he expected seriously to be considered
as q presidential possibility. SO far as
we know. the governor meekly accepted
his mentors counsel.
Speaking in Faneuil hall, Boston, on In
dependence day. President Charles w.
Eliot. Of Harvard. also counselled against
the dangers of combinations Of credit.
President Eliot has a way of saying what
he thinks. and perhaps having no political
axes to grind. it will be pretty hard to
make him keep still.
Do such combinations exist already?
n II SO, are they dangerous?
Observers of banking in most of the
large cities can not nave failed to mo-
ttce that in certain matters a group of
banks will always act together. In the
larger cities there may be several OF these
groups. 1T ts rare-probably unknown
