Reduction Of Dividend Rate
On ST. Paul Stock
Crysta|izes Sentiment Of Uneasi-
ness Which Had Been Growing.
Other Factors Also Help Disslpate
Feeling of optimism.

New York. Jan. 2S.-The chief event
of last week in the financial world
was the reduction in the dividend rate
on St. Paul stock from Z to per
cent Such change was foreshad-
owed SO clearly that holders Of the
stock were prepared for it, and the
effect upon security values, following
the formal announcement, was com
paratively small. This event, however.
seemed to erystaliZe a sentiment of
uneasiness which had been forming
for some time.
The material shortage in the spring
wheat crop for two successive years
with the resultant serious effect upon
earnings placed the Northwestern
roads at n disadvantage. For them
except for Great Northern, the cur
rency decrease are cumulative upon
last years poor showings. Moreover
the case of st. Paul is individual in
it's struggle with the opening of its
Puget Sound extension, involving the
slow development of traffic and the
burden of increased charges occa
stoned by its financing.
Other developments helped TO dis
sipate the feeling of optimism that
was noticeable toward the close of
last year. The acknowledged reaction
in the buying of steel products was
potent factor in influencing sentiment,
owing to the great stress which had
been laid upon the previous revival in
steel buying as an indication of
general trade Improvement. Corrobo-
rative evidence of a halt was found in
Il &C fhp CAffpp
tone of the copper market, the heavy
accumulation of idle money at the
banking centers and the poor showing
of earnings by railroads.
The statement of the chairman of
the st. Paul board in explaining the
dividend decrease put the situation
In an unfavorable light There is no
prospect for Improvement i'll general
conditions" said the st. Paul chair
man His utterance was largely re-
sponsible for the outburst of selling
with when the week in the stock
market came to an end.
The rush of buying steel products
st the end of last year undoubtedly
will be reflected in the quarterly re-
port of the United States Steel Cor
peration to be made, this week, and
estimates of what the earnings will
lie have been increased substantially
since the opening of the previous
quarter.
This belief was heightened by the
assertion of President Farrell before
the congressional investigating COM
mittee that good prices We're being
procured for export business. As a
factor in the stock market, however,
more emphasis was placed upon the
shrinkage in business, since Jan. /,
and on the probable character of the
quarterly report.

DEMOCRATS MAY ELECT
SENATORS IN ILLINOIS YET

Chicago, Nov. S.-Sufficient strength
in the Illinois legislature to enable
democrats to elect two senators ap-
peared as possibility today with the
increase of democratic votes in the
southern tier.
Democrats were hopeful that the
new returns would give them possi-
bly, II members in the house and 27
in the senate, a total of 104 on john
ballot. A majority on joint ballot is
103.
If this result is attained the dem
ocrats will be able to name sue
cessor to Shelby Cullom and to fill
the place forfeited by William Lori
mer. Falling short of this number the
democrats may find themselves com
PEELED to appeal to the progressives
for consideration, which might give
the progressives an opportunity to

Constantinople, Nov. S.-There is
every indication here now that the
war against the Balkan allies will be
continued to the bitter end, as ad-
yised by Nazim Pasha, the Turkish
commander in chief.
Officers of the army join with the
Turkish press in applauding the de-
termination of the commander-in-
chief to continue the fight and it is
stated that the population of the Tur-
kish empire is ready to assist by
every means in it's power.
At the same time the many Mos
lens are said to have sworn to sac
rifice their lives to safeguard the
glory of Islam.
The Yeni Gazette says today: IF
Europe wishes to tear up treaties it
may do so, but we will not allow the
Koran and the historic Osmanto be
torn up. All the Turkish ministers,
with the grand vizier, aged "a, at
their head, as well as our high dig

Fugitive Turkish soldiers are re-

the inhabitants of the village of Siliv-
