Standard Oil Confidence
Seen in St. Paul'S
Higher Dividend.
FEW RICH MEN GET
STATE BOND ISSUE
Belief Growing That European
Liquidation of Our Stocks
Is on the Decline.

The state bond sale was success
full contender for the centre Of the
wall Street stage until the result or
the st. Paul dividend meeting was
known. The actual bull yells that
greeted the news on the Stock TX
change had metaphorical echo in the
Street. And whsn the market turned
sharply upward. after n day Of drag
ring heavily, the ST. Paul triumph was
complete. Il was, Of course. as an ex-
preston Of confidence by the Standard
oil interests. rather than as mere
gain to the stockholders of 80 cents a
share that the dividend increase was
looked at There might easily have
been the feeling as in the case of the
steel dividend. that the directors ac-
tion was automatic. and therefore de-
void of the significance ascribed to II.
But there was no disposition TO take
il so. For the Street the dividend IN
crease meant nothing more or less
than that the interests whose specula-
tive acumcn is ranked above all others
had so much faith in the future that
they were willing to go on record with
q prediction.
New-York tribune., 1916-01-28
Where the Bonds Went.

What helped to give backing TO the
theory Of Standard oil optimism was
a report that the individuals to whom
the First National Bank was believed
20 have rosold the state bonds included
John d. Rockefeller Mr.. Rockefeller
had been known before to buy $4,000
coo blocks of municipal or state bonds,
and there was no reason to suppose
that he would not profit by the oppor-
tunity presented in yesterdays sale 20
buy again, except that it is not
through the First National Bank that
he ordinarily does his business. That
George F. Baker, the banks chairman
who ranks with John d. Rockefeller
and Andrew Carnegie for the reputed
number Of his millions, was one of the
principals for whom the successful
bidder operated was taken for granted.
New-York tribune., 1916-01-28
Avoiding New Imposts.

One Of the many considerations that
must have Influenced the group OF IN
vcstors for whom the First National
Bank acted was the plan in Congress
to increase the burden upon rich men
Of the income tax. BY buying the
state bonds they avoided irritating
matters of regulation with which they
would have TO be concerned if The same
money had been invested in other ways.
The 3.S5 per cent, or less. that they
will realize from their Investment they
could easily have bettered in the mar
ket for gilt-edced bonds. Some Of the
finest railroad bonds in the country are
Welding. at present prices, 4.25 Per
cent and higher. But there is a point
in the accumulation and investment OF
money where y Of ! per cent, more or
less. is a minor consideration compared
with the annoyance Of disclosing APP
proximately what ones income is. That
is, there is said to be such point.

COTTON HOLDINGS
FREED, HIT MARKET
Renewed Pressure Sends Prices
TO New Low Ground for
Selling Movement.

The cotton market was weak and
unsettled yesterday, with prices max
ing new low ground for the movement
under more or less general selling.
There was no particular feature in
the days news. For some time past
bearish sentiment has been gaining
ground. and the selling movement was
probably encouraged by the more con-
dieting character of Southern spot
prices.
Long contracts believed TO have beeh
firmly held for month or more we're
said 10 be coming on the market. ana
numerous stop orders were uncovered
on the break Of - points or more from
the recent high level on active old
crop positions. MAY contracts sold
of tc 12llc. or % points under We'd
nesday's closing figures. and closed. at
1212c. with the general list closing
steady az net decline OF - TO %
points for the day.
Liverpool fully met Wednesday s
local declines. and the market here
opened steady 40 decline of 10 o
points. There was foreign selling on
the decline as well as liquidation and
scattering local pressure. Brokers
supposed 90 be operating for Russian
interests were moderate buyers. and
a good many contracts were absorbed
bv domestic trade Interests, said 10
be fixing prices for spinners. There
was considerable covering by recent
Wall street sellers. and after selling
carly Liverpool was moderate buyer
of May and July contracts. This COM
hinod demand was sufficient 20 cause
only slight rallies. The fact that trad
ing tapercd OF on bulgcs OF 3 or 1
points Indicated the absence OF any
.hing ike aggressive bull support. and
the market reached the lowest point
of the day in The late trading. when
active months sold 2l TO % points net
lower Closing prices were within a
point or two of the lowest.
Southern spot news vas conflicting.
Some reports said holders were pay
ing no attention to the decline IN
futures. Others reported that spots
were still holding, but predicted IN
creased offerings or spot Liquidation
should futures decline further. Ihere
were enough of these less favorable
reports to make some impression on
sentiment, the more so as Southern
spot markets officially reported showed
moderate declines In most instances.
There has been a lull in spot demand
during the last few days. but local
traders considered il more or less
doubtful after the close last night
whether the declines In the quoted
markets represented any pressure
aside from hedgcd cotton.
Exports for the day were only 5l6
bales, and there was nothing IN the
news 10 indicate any change IN the
ocean freight situation. The unset
tied ruling of the stock market prob
ably contributed to the confusion with
reference TO general conditions. and
there was some talk of less favor
able turn in international politics.

ST. PAUL DIVIDEND RAISED
Pays Two and a IIalf-Fiye Per Cent
Basis II Reported.

Directors Of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul Railway Company declared
yesterday q semi-annual dividend of "a
per cent, as compared with a declara-
tion of per cent six months ago. The
understanding in the financial district
was that the dividend had been restored
TO regular per bnt basis, although
this was not officially stated.
The reduction 10 . per cent SIX
months ago was the only time during
the last four years that 2i2 per cent
semi-annually had not been declared.
ST. Pauls traffic in the last six months
has been far ahead Of last year, and
the recovery in earnings from The 1914
low figures has been marked. The roc
ord grain crop last fall was largely in
strumental in turning the tide.
With the earnings FOR December csti-
mated. il is believed that the company
during the first ST.. months of the cur
rent fiscal year earned about per cent
on the common stock, or more than
twice the amount required for he full
years per cent dividend.
The announcement of the increase
appeared before the close OF the mar
ket The stock. which had been quiet
at o.. soon rose TO 96%s on active
buying.

One problem the stock market has 70
contend with is the distribution OF So
curitics from SPECTATORS into inyes-
tors hands. In the international hst
the investors have not yet been able TO
overtake the liquidation from abroad;
that is. in no day are they able to alb
sorb all that sessions offerings. But
there was great deal of talk in the
financial district yesterday about the
end of heavy liquidation from abroad
being in sight, or at least Just below
the horizon. Stress was laid on the
fact that considerable number OF
Americans" may be expected TO re-
main abroad, as the irreducible mimi
mum OF foreign investment. Subtract
ing this from the latest figures OF the
Lorec reports of American securities
owned abroad, and taking into account
mat those figures when published late
last wear were already months behind
II does not seem that the belief that
foreign selling will soon diminish IS
wide of the probabilities.

BUSINESS DISDAINS
THE MORATORIUM
Commercial Paper Discounted
Decreases by Nearly so
Per Cent in 915.
BY YVES GUYOT.
IL. Minister Of Public Works. Editor "Ltgenee
Economlque Il flnanclere."

Paris, Jan. 27.-The French Treas
ury since August, 1914, has bor-
rowed 5,531 ,S00,000 and in addition
has taken $740,000,000 from the
Bank Of France. Expenses for the
first three months Of the present
year will total $5OO,O00,000.
These expenses are enormous, but
fail to cause the least pessimism in
the French world of finance. Our
Treasury bonds are still easily
placed, and. moreover, there is still
"A clientele for the bonds of national
defence.
The weekly statements Of the big
banks prove that there is still a large
amount of floating capital in France,
and the state is assured Of finding
money for all its needs. Yesterdays
statement Of the Bank of France
shows that it has gold to the amount
Of Sl,0O2.2O0,0O0, which compares
with S4O0O00,O00 in the Reichsbank,
despite all the latter's efforts. Ger
many says that the gold in their
country still amounts to 100000, 900,
and that they are going to take
measures to force all this into the
Reichsbank. France has not had to
use force. a simple request to the
people being all that is necessary to
make gold flow into the Bank Of
France.
The annual meeting of the Bank
of France was held to-day. The re-
port said that the year 1915 showed
a general increase in the financial
and commercial activity of the coun-
try over the first year Of the war.
The situation Of capital being par
alyzed by the outbreak Of the war
is now being gradually remedied,
following the decision of the banks
not to take advantage Of the mora
torium for current accounts. The re-
port showed also general ameliora-
ton of the economic situation, and
the return toward normal CONNER
cial conditions is made evident by the
diminution Of paper held by the
banks on which payment has been
deferred under the moratorium.
While the year 1915 began with the
banks holding S695,6OO,000 Of paper
uncollectible under the moratorium,
this amount has been voluntarily re-
duced by the makers of the paper to
1867, 100000. New accounts have not
felt the same impulsion, but, never
theless, show a very appreciate IN
crease.
In foreign commerce the decision
by certain large American firms to
cease demanding payment in advance
has been a great help.

Few Shorts Embarrassed.

There was little belief last night
that any Of the aew state bonds would
find their way into the Street. What
would happen TO the traders who sold
the bonds short on the Curb. If this
proved TO be the fact, nobody ven
tured 10 guess. Prior to Yesterday,
when s25O.OOO changed hands, there
were no sales recorded. As state bond
offerings 20. the issue was small
one. Il had been plain, too, that there
would be sharp competition for IT,.
Broad Street early in the game took
counsel Of prudence and ventured lit
tie on the outcome. There were fewer
dealings i'm the bonds on the otusidc
market before the sale than have been
known for years.
