Dividends of the HiIt Roads,

Speculation over forthcoming action
on dividends by the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern has arisen in some
que-ters due 20 the fact that at current
prices the yield on those stocks Is out
of line with that on other first class rail
shares. At 76 Northern Pacifc's yield
on per cent. dividend basis Is o.
per cent. while that OF Great Northern
at similar dividend rate and selling at
72ss Is $50 per cent Directors will
probably meet for dividend action about
June 20. Observers point out that di-
rectors who may incline toward a reduc-
ton OF the rate on account OF poor earn
ings Of recent months may be moved to
n continuation of the present dlsburse-
ment because Of the upturn in traffic
expected in the latter half Of 1921 and
by approaching readtustments OF wages
and working rules as factors which will
make for substantial Improvement in net
income.

Money StilI Firm.

Call money renewed in the New York
York Stock Exchange at 6k per cent.
and subsequently rose to per cent,
where II closed, and similar rates pre-
vailed over the counter where the bulk
OF the business was done. Opinion is
divided regarding the immediate course
OF money rates On one hand experts
assert that the rate will be firm with
a possible advance to s per cent until
Monday. when some S700,0OO.000 of
banking transactions must be put
through. On that date payment is to be
made for subscriptions to s230.00O, ,o0t
of Great Northern Northern Pacific 81
per cent. bonds. subscriptions are en-.
tered for s200,000.00O or more new
certificates of indebtedness and the Gov.
ernment will pay s230,o00,000 to meet
maturing certificates and $70,000.0 900 in
Liberty interest. On the other hand
some money brokers look for easier rates
after to-days business, when the Gov
ernment shall have withdrawn 20.250.-
600 of its deposits.

cerro de Pasco Passes Dividend.

The directors OF the Cerro de Pasco
Copper Company decided to pass the
quarterly dividend due at this time.
Three months ago the company declared
a dividend of so cents share. The rea-
son ascrbed for the directors action
was the unsettled condition of the cop
per market" Their action had been
anticipated pretty generally and conse-
quently the official announcement Of the
passing OF the dividend had but little
effect on the price of the stock Its net
decline for the day was less than two
points, the shares having discounted TO
a considerable extent the elimination OF
the dividend. The other copper stocks
showed tendency toward Improvement,

ton. Kennecott and others closing frac-
tionally higher on moderate buying.

stocks Move Dow ward.

As a result of the continued dividend
rumors and other unfavorable stories of
industrial depression, stocks moved lower
in the best part of the day. Particular
pressure was directed against indepen-
dent steels, companies manufacturing
automobile accessories and automobile
companies themselves. Some oils also
came in for a heavy bit of selling. In
automobiles, Chandler and Studebaker
again proved the heaviest losers among
active issues. while in the accessories
American Bosch Magnetic suffered most.
Practically all steels declined very
sharply.

employment.
If statements by the manufacturers
are carried Qua and their shops trans
ferred as predicted there will be little
left of an industry which under norm
al conditions employs upwards of 12,-

chimes were not running when the no.

BASEBALL SCANDAL TO BE
AIRED IN COURT MONDAY
(Associated Press,

Chicago, March 12.-The trial of
Chicago White Sox baseball players
charged with throwing the 1919 world
series, which begins Monday before
Judge VIM. E. Dever of the county
court, is expected to bring forth evi-
dence that almost everyone connected
with the. alleged conspiracy was dou-
Bile crossed in some way.
The loss by Charles A. Comiskey,
owner of the club. of his champion
ship team and of players valued col
lectively as high as 100000, was
looked upon at the time of the jury
investigation as double crossing un-
paralleled in baseball history. Testi-
mony given before the grand jury
and which probably WILL be introduced
during the trial. indicated that the
alleged plans of the gamblers charged
with fixing the series and of players
charged with throwing it. also went
astray in several respects.
This testimony, given by witnesses,
was to the effect that the gamblers
double crossed certain players by not
making good on promised bribes, GER
tain players in return double crossed
the gamblers by winning a game on
which the gamblers had pyramided
previous winnings and thus lost many
thousands of dollars for the fxers,
and that some of the players even
double crossed each other.
Chicago lost the first two games oi
the series and on these two games Va,
Fious gamblers were said to have wor
many thousands of dollars. Claude
Williams and Joe Jackson, in theil
grand jury confessions, said that the
players were promised q certain
amount of money after each game, but
only Cicotte, Jackson and William,
confessed to receiving money. Accord
ing to some of the evidence, certain
players became very angry when tn,
gamblers failed to make good on tn
promise of payments after each gam,
and having thus been double crosse.
by the gamblers, did their best to vii
the third game of the series.
The gamblers, it was said, pyramid
ed their bets, betting on the secanl
game-against Chicago-all they ha
won the first. The combined winning
were placed to win the third gam
and when Dick Kerr came throug
with a 8 to 0 victory, In which he wa
aided by indicted players. the gambl
ers lost everything.
Felsh, Weaver, Risberg and Nc
Mullin, maintain that they never er
tered the conspiracy and never receiy
ed money. Jackson and Williams den
they threw games, although admit
ting they received money. Cicott
confessed to receiving money and I
one intentional misplay. Gandil hs
never surrendered, but in press stat.
ments was quoted as denying that
took any part in the deal. He ws
named by Williams as the man VII
: gave him $4,000. however, s5Oea f
