Northern Pacific Dividend

There had been no other thought in
the minds of Northern Pacific directors
than to declare the regular quarterly
dividend of y per cent, it was learned
after yesterdays meeting. This state
ment by an official Of the company was
regarded with special significance in
view of the fact that Howard Elliott,
president, is chairman Of the rate com
mittee of the Association of Railway
Executives This body has been in con-
slant touch with the Interstate Com
merce Commission in its consideration
of new rate-making structure for the
railroads. and the belief has been ex
pressed that the commission will ap
prove rates which will meet the needs
Of the carriers. Should per cent
return on the property investment be
decided upon. Northern Pacific would
be assured of net operating income
of $50 o,0O0.0 900. sufficient to insure the
continuation of the present per cent
dividend Mr.. Elliott said the traffic
outlook of the Northern Pacific was
good, but that much depended on the
action taken by the Interstate Com
merce Commission with respect to
rates,

ago just prior TO the gold movement
which ran in excess of S50,000,000.
The rise in sterling exchange yester
day carried the rate within few
cents of the high record made on the
recovery earlier in the year.
The performance at the Stock Ex-
change differed little from recently
preceding sessions, the trading being
mainly of professional origin, with

at the opening. Heavy selling occurred
in this issue following the announce
ment late the day before Of the de-
claraton Of q stock dividend Of 16 23

disappointing, for it reduced the
amount Of the disbursement on the

break which compared with a recent
high of 154.

the rail group the tone was somewhat
hrmer although the news that the
Northern Pacific directors had de.
clared the regular quarterly dividend
of IN per cent did not come out IN
time to be much of factor. The meet
ing of the Great Northern directors
at which it was thought dividend
action would be taken was called of
because of the lack of quorum.
Borrowers in the call money market
paid per cent throughout the day,
this being the rate for renewals as
we'll as for new loans. The demand
for call money is exceedingly light IN
view of the slowing down of specuia-
tive activity. This is good thing
for this is season of the year when
the demands upon the banks inci-
dental to the approaching, end Of the

Curb Building Plans

Because of the delay in the building
plans of the New York Curb Market
Association reports have gained circu-
lation that possibly the originators of
a curb exchange on the site now occu
pied by the old New York Bank Note
structure on Church Street have aban-
doned the idea of building there. E. R..
Mccormick, chairman of the Curb Mar
ket Association. Yesterday denied that
such was the case. Eve are only wait
ing for more propitious time to
materials as high as they are now and
the labor problem still so difficult Of
solution, we have deemed it unwise to
proceed with our plans at this time.
However. you cannot make it too en-
phatic that we are going ahead when
we feel that the time is ripe to do so"
