of Disgust of Capital.

Chicago, Oct. 29.-George B. Cald.
we'll, president of the Investment
Bankers Association of America, in
opening its second annual convention,
said that stocks and bonds were down
almost to panic prices" because Of

have had and that the corporations,
especially the railroads, will not be
given in the next three years square

The New Ravens Dividend.

The New Ravens dividend from 1873
to 1893 was 10 per cent; from then
until 1895, it was Q per cent; and since
1895 il has been per cent. The year
1918 promises TO be notable in the his
tory of the road for another reduction
in its dividend.
Mr.. Mellen no longer speaks with con-
fidence as TO maintaining the present
rate. He is quoted as saying regard
ing the present fall in the price of Bos-
ton & Maine shares: The slump is
undoubtedly because the earnings OF
Boston & Maine are showing so poorly
as to make it impossible to continue its
dividend, and the effect this will be ex-
pected TO have upon the continuance
of the present rate of New Ravens

the New Haven has failed 10 earn the

there has been deficit every year, be-
ginning with 1905. So far this year,
the increase in net earnings has been
less than S65O,OOo. and that would be
wiped out by the passing of the Boston

New Haven now gets Ss75.O00 a year
