Bird-Van Emburgh is buying Union
Pacific.
Whiteman-I would not hesitate to buy
cotton.
{. J. II. 10 W B. Hibbs & Co.-That
Union Pacific will declare an extra divi-
dend looks certain and We have always
claimed Southern Pacific the cheapest s
per cent stock in the world, and most
likely some banking house would like
to have enough Southern Pacific to have
something to say in the financing. We
also think Third Avenue is a cheap stock.
But everything on the list is not going
to declare an extra dividend and We
still have a Democratic administration.
Money is not so easy that you can pull
of anything, ard we know crops like
corn. oats, hay, and potatoes are smaller
by a great dea! this year. so be careful
to buy only the good ones. That's the
guess always

ranged in Russia and that an English

Moler-Trading has been very mixed
from the opening and uncertain. Talk of
too much rain is now the principal bull
ish factor, and the belief is that the
weekly government weather report will
make a special reference to the excessive
precipitation, and that such will be re-
garded as bullish. Therefore. selling is
on a more restricted scale than lately

By I. A. FLEMING.

IS yet no announcement has been made
by the Union Pacific directors as to
ttn probable cutting Of that ripeninG
ntlon. or whether it is the intention
&c cut it at all.
The assertion is made that tiS dtrec-
tors want to declare an extra dividend
Of some kind from the proceeds of the
sale of Southern Pacific stock, but-they
have not as yet been able to locate the
best manner of making a distribution.
'There is some question as to whether
the directors can legally make the pay
ment, on the presumption that 1t might
be attacked by some shareholder on
the gIound that a dividend was declared
from the proceeds of a sale of property
or stock actually acquired by the sale
Srf bonds. The question as TO the pay
1 ment TO preferred and common share
holdeiS is also important.
Bact of all these perhaps. may be that
perhaps that Judge Lovett and his CO.
