ChnndIer's Dividend Policy.

Interests close to the Chandler Motor
Car Company's management declare
that Its Sc dividend rate will be main
tained for the rest OF this year. and
predict that its next years business will
be such as TO warrant a return TO It's
cid SIS rate. Its business is admittedly
bad. but the policy of the Chandler In
tcrests is said to be to maintain Its
dividend IL 1t can be done with reason
able conservatism. Only on Tuesday
the Cleveland Motor directors declared
the regular per cent. quarterly divi-
dend on its preferred stock. although II
was not earned during the quarter.
Cleveland Is under the same manage
ment as is Chandler and the attitude
adopted in declaring the dividend was
that. even though business for the mo-
mcnt was bad. the money was there and
should be distributed conservatively.

The Mexican OIL Agreement.

More than a fortnight has elapsed
since the five prominent oil men re-
turned from Mexico after making an
agreement with tho Obregon Govern
ment with respect to taxes on oil pro-
duced and exported from that country.
During all Of that time they have main
tanned a strict silence as to the details
of their arrangements and have asserted
that the Mexican Government would be
the first to announce the results of the
conference. In the meantime the stock
holders Of the various oil companies
with big investments in Mexico - and
they are numbered in the thousands
are anxious, not unnaturally. to know
the outcome Of the meeting and the de-
tails Of the agreement. The general
public, too, feels that 1t Is deeply inter-
ested In the Mexican affair and has a
right to know something about what
happened, and feeling in the financial
district is that the stockholders and the
public are entitled to be told what oc-
Cured and what was promised on both
Sides Wall Street thinks that the oil
men have given the MeXicans sufficient
time to make an announcement and
that now 1t is their duty to their stock
holders to make the facts public. One
reason given for Withholding the news is
that radical newspapers and other SINH
lar interests in Mexico might seize the
opportunity to embarrass the Mexican
Government 81 the facts were made
known. But that Is as apt to be true
tomorrow as to-day. Wall Street be-
lieves, so that little If anything can be
gained by suppressing the facts concern
ing the agreement any longer.

Northern Paciac Dividend.

The directors of the Northern Pacific
Railway Company declared yesterday
the regular quarterly dividend OF 1%
per cent. on its common stock, payable
on November 1 to its stockholders of
record on October 3. That declaration
did not come as much of a surprise to
the financial district as 1t has been
thought almost certain. since the
declaration of the regular Great North
ern dividend. that such action would be
taken. Nevertheless, the Northern Pa
ciic's stock advanced to a high of 77ss.
a gain OF 1ss points from its close on
Tuesday. and closed at II. The North
ern Pacifics directors made no state
ment In connection with the dividend.
but II is known that the full disburse-
ment was not earned. The policy of its
management, however. is to maintain
It's dividend record as long as II can do
so with a reasonable assurance that the
immediate future will show a substan-
tial Improvement in earnings.
