Chicago Weekly Grain and Provisions
Chicago. Feb. 14.-Widespread refusal of
farmers to sell has done much this week
to compel an advance of the corn market.
Compared with week ago corn quotations
this morning are &c to 3Bc higher, oats
showed gains Of 11ac to 2Ac, and provis-
2Oc. Rural antagonism to selling corn be-
came especially pronounced after a sharp
result of nau rs7end p orSers as "a
hurry the crop movement and not allow
ears to be used for any grain shipments
from Chicago to the east except wheat. The
emergency orders were expected to bring
big supplies to primary centers but the
fact that values had quickly dropped in
anticipation led to nearly complete failure
of the program. Country shippers who
had been clamoring for cars preferred now
apparently to risk indefinite delay rather
than accept any cut in values.
Oats, like corn, assembled after showing
temporarily weakness. Provisions were
steadied by the grain rally.

North Western
K. r., Lacking g Cash,
Cuts Dividends
Uncertainties of Railroad
Situation Induce Direct
ors to Adopt Conservative
Policy; Stocks Decline

A cut from per cent to 5 per cent
in the dividend rate on the $145, ,157, ,269
outstanding common stock of the Chi
cago & Northwestern Railway was or
dered yesterday by the directors, who
also voted to reduce the rate on the
preferred stock from per cent to r
per cent. The semi-annual dividends
declared were 212 per cent on the com
mon and 31s per cent on the preferred,
payable July Is to stockholders of
record June 21
The action of the Northwestern board
in reducing the cash distribution to
shareholders was considered of unusual
interest in the financial district in view
of the fact that before the period of
Federal control this road was consid-
cred one of the most prosperous in the
country and had earned the appella-
tion Of the "Lackawanna" of the North
west. Dividends on the common stock
have been paid since 1868 and on the
preferred since 1864. The disburse-
ment on the common has been at the
rate Of per cent since 1902, with the
exception of 1911. when 81 per cent
was paid. On the preferred per cent
has been paid since 1903.
On the Stock Exchange the reduction
cline Of 8s points in the common stock
and 10 points in the preferred At one
period Of the stock market session the
common showed a gross decline of
l0h points from Mondays last sale.
Although no formal statement was
issued at the conclusion of yesterdays
meeting, an official Of the Northwestern
said that the rate of dividends on the
preferred and common stocks had been
reduced because, in the judgment of
the board, the uncertainties of the
present railroad situation made such a
course advisable. Referring to the
revenue provisions of the new trans
portation act, this official said that
such guarantees as were afforded the
railroads were at least not vet of the
sort "out of which cash dividends could
be paid"
The low price reached by the COM
mon stock yesterday was a new low
for all time and contrasted with the
high record quotation Of 271 reached In
1902, the year in which the dividend
rate was increased from per cent tc
per cent. The preferred in 1902 sold
as high as 274h, compared with yester r
days last sale at 103.
