vidend rate will be maintained when
it's directors meet next Thursday. There

No More c. N. N. Trades.

Exchange suspended yesterday all deal
ings in Continental Candy shares, et-
fective OF Saturday noon. The reason
for that proceeding. II was explained,
was the action of the recently appointed
receivers of the company, who abolished
the companys registrar and transfer Of

of The strict rules of the Exchange pro-
vides that a transfer Office and registrar

sumatrn Dividend Gone.

Opinion in Wall street was consider
ably divided yesterday on what action
the American sumatra Tobacco Com
pany's directors would take on It's divi-
dend. Several traders felt that st least
n - rate would be maintain ID. and con-
quently they made their commitments
accordingly. II was buying from these
sources which nulllned the more or less
heavy selling done by those equally con-
fidcnt that the dividend would be
passed. and as result the stock rave
every evidence of strength, closing a
fraction higher than II did on Tuesday.
The meeting OF the directors was a very
long session and indicated TO many that
the decision to pass the dividend was
reached only sfter Q long and probably
bitter debate,

Mexican OIL stock. weak.

The Mexican oil stocks. led by Mexican
Petroleum and the two Pan-American
issues, were the weak features of a
generally soft market. For a time Mexi-
can Petroleum gave evidences of resIs-
tance. while Pan-American stocks we're
exceedingly weak. The pressure against
Pan-Americans. however, let up after a
while. and then Mex. Pete began to sing.
II was reported from the floor OF the
Exchange that Mexican Petroleum was
held firm for considerable time while
the unloading process was effected In
Pan-American. After the Pam American
shares had been sold to the satisfaction
OF whosoever was doing the selling, Mex.
was permitted to slide down the scale.
Tint action is almost Identical with the
performances OF those two stocks a few
days ago, when Mex. remained very firm
In the face OF extreme weakness in Par
American. At that time II was said that
a block OF 10000 shares of Pan-Ameri-
can had been unloaded.

New England Carriers.

With the expiration to-day of ninety
days allowed by the Interstate Commerce
commission to the New England rail-
roads and the trunk lines to negotiate a
new division Of rates on through traffic
to relieve the situation of the former
group the roads will have no alterna-
tive but to report mo progress" to the
commission. In line with the suggestion
contained in Commissioner Eastman's s
minority report. the New England roads
submitted to the trunk line committee a
proposal which would increase the share
OF the New England carriers on all
traffic interchanged except coal IS per
cent. That revision. calculated TO yield
the roads of the New England group
about $15.000.o00 annually, has not
been acted on by the trunk lines. The
sentiment that the trunk lines will not
give up greater portion of the rev.
enues on interchanged tonnage until
and unless ordered to do so by the COM
mission Is growing In well informed
quarters.

600 in gold in addition to the defiation
actually accomplished to restore the re-
serve ratio of the twelve reserve banks
combined to 92.7 per cent. for gold re-
serve against circulation after setting
aside 35 per cent against deposit liabili-
ties. Statisticians figured yesterday that
with no increase In gold reserves it would
have requires dehation to the extent of
ST. 100000 for the system to bring
about SO high ratio as 90 per cent.
Such sum is two and half times the
actual contraction accomplished while

Railroad Net Earnings.

The majority of the countrys steam
carriers had better net earnings in Au-
gust and July than they did In June
because Of increased gross receipts and
the ERECT OF the IL per cent. wage re-
duction. Notable exceptions. however
were the New York Central and the
Pennsylvania. which have resumed to
some degree maintenance of way and
equipment postponed for several months.
August net earnings of larger roads
