Canadian Pacific Minimum.

On Monday Canadian Pacific sells
Eek" a dividend Of 252 per cent. The
fact had q special significance yester-
day morning when the stock was on its
way down in common with the rest of
the market, for when it touched its
low price Of 1855 il was, considering
the dividend TO come off on Monday,
IN dangerous proximity to its official
minimum price Of 1913. Probably the
minimum will be lowered if there is
any danger that the subtraction Of
the dividend will make trading in the
stock impossible. But that is a bridge
that can wait TO be crossed.
