Directors Plan Would Have Permitted
Payment Of a Dividend.

BOSTON, Dee 21.-The Boston &
Maine railroad would have been able
to pay dividend on its common stock
last gear, in the opinion of w. J.
Hobbs, vice president of the road, if
the directors plan for reorganization
was then in effect.
Mr.. Hobbs SO testified today in re
ply to questions by counsel for the mi
nority stockholders who are opposing
the continued receivershi? of the Bos-
ton & Maine in proceedings before the
federal court.
The vice president stated that the
plan probably would result in common
stockholders losing some of their con
trolling power, but said he had no
doubt it would have a beneficial effect
on the outstanding common stock.

This News Kills Anticipated
Bull Movement Here.
OMAHA MARKET IS STEADY

The anticipated bull movement in
grain prices failed to materialize and
instead of an advance, all kinds OF
grain sold at about the same or a
little lower than Tuesday.
When the grain market closed
Tuesday afternoon, the opinion was
general that it would open with an
advance of several c.nts bushel. II
is asserted that the collapse of the
boom was brought about by kilograms
coming in from New York. These
kilograms were scattered about the
trading floor OF the Omaha exchange
and conveyed the information that
senator's and representatives, OF the
eastern states are unanimous in
agreeing to the introduction of bills

PRESENTS SOME FIGURES

That the high cost Of living is not
due TO any increase in the selling price
OF beef by the packers was in sub
stance the statement OF General Man
ager R. c. Howe OF the Armour Pack
ing company, Mr. Howe issued fig
ures compiled from statistical records
in the local office which showed that
the wholesale selling price OF beef had
increased practically not at all in the
last three years, and that the price OF
pork was not in any way due to &C.
ton on the part Of packers in raising
prices.
The following table shows the
variance in the selling price OF dressed
and carcass beef per hundredweight
in different centers, the figures given
being the average selling price for
fifty-two weeks:

in both senate and house, as soon as
they convene in December, placing an
embargo on the export of all grains
and other foodstuffs.
The New York kilograms came
from brokers in that city and the
information they contain is looked
upon as being the sentiment Of east
ern congressman, regardless Of party.
Omaha grain dealers assert that il
the talk of an embargo on grain and
foodstuffs continues it will have ten
dency to bear" prices and if the en-
barge becomes fact there will be a
decided drop not only on grain, but
on everything that is food factor.
