May Postpone Action Again

On the eve of the regular monthly
meeting of the board of directors
Chicago, milwaukee & St. Paul com
mon stock was quiet in yesterday 5
stock market, 500 shares changing
hands with net loss on the day of Il
of a point. 1t is not expected that any
action will be taken at to-day's meet
ing on either the preferred or common
stock dividends. Although the railroad
bill has been signed by the President
1t is understood to be the opinion
of the board that the details of the
contract which must be made with the
railroad should be worked out before
the question of dividends will be taken
up for consideration again.

The crisis in the war situation gave
further pause to operations in the
stock market yesterday. albeit the un-
dertone for most standard shares was
firm to strong. Liberty bonds. which
Dominated the trading of the previous
~.y, were comparatively dull, lacking
= definite trend.
Rails scored extreme gains Of / to
"a. points, Reading, Norfolk & West
"a, Union Pacific, Great Northern and
So York Central leading thar group.
Equipments, notably American Car,
Baldwin Locomotive, L. 8. Steel,
Beth chem Steel and Crucible Steel
were higher by to points at their
best, Car making the greatest gain on
rumors Of the early placing or large
contracts by the government.
Shippings, motors and tobaccos rep
resented the backward issues, Marine
preferred yielding Il points as a re-
suit Of its statement Of annual earn
ings, which disclosed large decrease.
S.udebaker was under constant press
ure, losing 39s points and American
Tobacco forfeited as much. Prices
were impaired all through the list in
the last hour, the reversal coinciding
with the publication of a statement by
the I. s. Steel Corporation, which an
nounced another increase of wages, but
indicated some difference of op pinion as
to time schedule.
